Energy storage is often portrayed as an ideal solution for the integration of fluctuating renewable energy (RE) due to the flexibility it creates. However, there is uncertainty surrounding energy storage in terms of the ...
The Burren region (inclusive of the Aran Islands) in western Ireland is an example of
a prime landscapes that hosts nternationally rare bumblebee species, such as Bombus
muscorum. For the conservation and survival of ...
This work describes the investigation and development of an optical fibre gas sensor
based on mid infra red absorption spectroscopy. The sensor is suitable for monitoring the gases present in the exhaust emissions of a ...
With the explosive growth in the number of electronic documents available on the
internet, intranets, and digital libraries, there is a growing need for automatic systems
capable of indexing and organising such large ...
Lynch, Thomas Francis(University of Limerick, 2010)
Magnetic nanostructures have attracted attention due to their possible applications in information storage and sensors. The switching time and switching field are two magnetic properties that can determine the applicability ...
Knowledge, experience, and intuition are integral parts of decision making. However, these alone are not sufficient to manage today’s industrial systems. Often predictive models are required to weigh options and determine ...
O'Donnell, Michael R.(University of Limerick, 2010)
Intimal hyperplasia development in the downstream anastomosis of a peripheral bypass grafts has been the subject of much investigation due to its site specific focal development at specific sites within the junction. ...
O'Sullivan, Catriona(University of Limerick, 2010)
This thesis describes the sequential assembly of various components on to
colloidal II-VI semiconductor nanorods. Semiconductor-semiconductor, semiconductor-metal and semiconductor-metal-molecule are attached to the ...
Dimensional restrictions in electronic equipment have resulted in miniaturisation of many existing cooling technologies. In addition, cooling solutions are required to dissipate increased thermal loads to maintain component ...
In this work an application was developed which uses the Sequential Quadratic Pro-
gramming (SQP) optimisation algorithm to optimise boundary absorption in order to reduce the sound pressure level in a localised sampling ...
