A facile spin-cast route for cation exchange of multilayer perpendicularly-aligned nanorod assemblies

Kelly, Dervla; Singh, Ajay; Barrett, Christopher A.; O'Sullivan, Catriona; Coughlan, Claudia; Laffir, Fathima R.; O'Dwyer, Colm; Ryan, Kevin M. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)

A facile spin cast route was developed to convert perpendicularly aligned nanorod assemblies of cadmium chalcogenides into their silver and copper analogues. The assemblies are rapidly cation exchanged without affecting ...

A Facile spin-cast route for cation exchange of multilayer perpendicularly-aligned nanorod assemblies for solar cell applications

Kelly, Dervla (University of Limerick, 2012)

This master’s thesis outlines the novel spin exchange process which was developed to create centimetre scale nanorod assemblies of copper and silver chalcogenides. These assemblies originated by synthesising CdS and CdSe ...

Facilitating a well-founded approach to autonomic systems

Dobson, Simon (IEEE Computer Society, 2008)

While it is desirable for all computing and communications systems to have well-defined and verifiable behaviour, autonomic systems must additionally guarantee that their adaptive behaviour is correct, both in the sense ...

Facilitating effective initiation of breastfeeding - a review of the recent evidence base

Barry, Maebh; Murphy-Tighe, Sylvia (Mark Allen Healthcare, 2013)

Midwives are in a unique position to support mothers in the initiation of breastfeeding. In order to advise and support mothers effectively it is important that midwives have a sound understanding of the evidence base ...

Facilitating ubiquitous interaction using intelligent agents

Campbell, Abey; Collier, Rem W.; Dragone, Mauro; Görgü, Levent; Holz, Thomas; O'Grady, Michael J; O'Hare, G.M.P.; Sassu, Antoella; Stafford, John (Springer, 2012)

Facilitating intuitive interaction is a prerequisite for the ubiquitous computing paradigm in all its manifestations. How to achieve such interaction in practice remains an open question. Such interfaces must be perceived ...

The facilitation of wind generation in Ireland's electricity market using demand response.

Finn, Patrick M. (University of Limerick, 2011)

As part of a European Union climate change and energy package that aims to reduce greenhouse gases by 20%, reach 20% penetration of renewable energy, and improve energy efficiency by 20% by 2020, Ireland has committed ...

Factors affecting the adoption of cloud computing: an exploratory study

Morgan, Lorraine; Conboy, Kieran (2013)

While it is widely acknowledged that cloud computing has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, issues surrounding the adoption of cloud computing have received relatively little attention. Drawing on ...

The factors affecting the use and integration of information communications technology in an Irish adult education and training centre: a case study approach.

O'Shaughnessy, Kathleen T. (University of Limerick, Department of Education and Professional Studies, 2011)

ICT use in the classroom is very important to provide the opportunities for adult students to learn in this information communications technology (ICT) age. Studying the barriers to the use of ICT in education may assist ...

Factors that affect mass transport from drug eluting stents into the artery wall

O'Connell, Barry M; McGloughlin, Timothy M.; Walsh, Michael T. (BioMed Central, 2010)

Coronary artery disease can be treated by implanting a stent into the blocked region of an artery, thus enabling blood perfusion to distal vessels. Minimally invasive procedures of this nature often result in damage to ...

Faculty women: making our mark

O'Connor, Pat (National University of Galway, 2003)

The reality of discrimination within the university system has been recognised by, for example, the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals in the UK (CVCP, 1991), and the President of MIT in the US (MIT, 1999). In a ...

Fail better. The potential of assessment in education for reflective practice

Frohburg, Jan (Universidade de Coimbra: Departamento de Arquitetura, 2013)

“How do you deal with students that are in danger of failing?” This was one of the more memorable questions during my job interview at the University of Limerick. As lecturers we might share, and in fact we do to a ...

Failing gym is like failing lunch or recess: two beginning teachers' struggle for legitimacy

O'Sullivan, Mary (Human Kinetics, 1989)

It is generally recognized that the first year of teaching is a critical time in the professional life of a teacher. It is a major life change from the role of student to teacher and working adult, from one who is guided ...

Failure analysis and stress simulation in small multichip BGAs

Moore, Thomas D.; Jarvis, John L. (IEEE Computer Society, 2001)

This paper examines one of the common modes of structural failure in multichip ball grid arrays (BGAs), determines its locations within the package structure, relates it to the stresses generated in the reliability tests ...

Failure of Bcl-2 to block cytochrome c redistribution during TRAIL-induced apoptosis

Keogh, Sinéad A.; Walczak, Henning; Bouchier-Hayes, Lisa; Martin, Seamus J. (Elsevier, 2000)

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF family of cytokines that promotes apoptosis and NF-kB activation. Here we show that recombinant hu-TRAIL initiates the activation ...

A fair comparison of VM placement heuristics and a more effective solution

Li, Xi; Ventresque, Anthony; Murphy, John; Thorburn, James (IEEE Computer Society, 2014)
