  • Walk before you run: using heuristic evaluation to assess a training tool prototype 
    Monasor, Miguel J; Noll, John; Vizcaíno, Aurora; Piattini, Mario; Beecham, Sarah (Association for Computing Machinery, 2014)
    Context: One of the chief challenges of Global Software Development (GSD) is for globally, culturally and linguistically diverse team members to communicate effectively. Failing to meet this challenge can lead to ...
  • Was defeat inevitable for Cumann na nGaedheal in the 1932 general election? 
    Hanamy, John (University of Limerick, 2013)
    This thesis looks at the election that terminated the first government of the Irish Free State, and effectively the career of the party that formed that government. An analysis of the policies of Cumann na nGaedheal in ...
  • Water dispersible semiconductor nanorod assemblies via a facile phase transfer and their application as fluorescent biomarkers. 
    Sanyal, Ambarish; Bala, Tanushree; Ahmed, Shafaat; Singh, Ajay; Piterina, Anna Valentinova; McGloughlin, Timothy M.; Laffir, Fathima R.; Ryan, Kevin M. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)
    We demonstrate the formation of water dispersed nanorod assemblies by phase transfer of semiconductor (CdS, CdSe, CdTe) nanorods from the organic to the aqueous using pluronic triblock copolymers. On phase transfer, the ...
  • Water-equivalent fiber radiation dosimeter with two scintillating materials 
    Qin, Zhuang; Hu, Yaosheng; Ma, Yu; Lin, Wei; Luo, Xianping; Zhao, Wenhui; Sun, Weimin; Zhang, Daxin; Chen, Ziyin; Wang, Boran; Lewis, Elfed (2016)
    An inorganic scintillating material plastic optical fiber (POF) dosimeter for measuring ionizing radiation during radiotherapy applications is reported. It is necessary that an ideal dosimeter exhibits many desirable ...
  • WATERMARK: Between the archive and the river 
    NicGhabhann, Niamh (University of Limerick, 2014)
    This essay reflects on the process of curating WATERMARK, an exhibition celebrating 20 years of the Irish World Academy at the University of Limerick. It considers the work of artists David Lilburn, Aaron Lawless and Fiona ...
  • Wavelet-based transforms as a means of signal separation 
    Quinn, Declan; Walker, Jacqueline (2008)
    The goal of this paper is to facilitate the use of waveletbased transforms in BSS (and, more generally, ICA) algorithms. We investigate the performance of transforms such as the ContinuousWavelet Transform, Discrete ...
  • Waves in Guinness 
    Robinson, Marguerite; Fowler, Andrew C.; Alexander, A.J.; O'Brien, Stephen B.G. (American Institute of Physics, 2008)
    We describe a simple model of a bubbly two-phase flow which is able to explain why waves propagate downward when a pint of Guinness is poured, and also how the waves are generated. Our theory involves a physically based ...
  • “WBC over DVB-H” testbed design, development and results 
    Ji, Zhanlin; Ganchev, Ivan; O'Droma, Máirtín (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
    The wireless billboard channels (WBCs) are integral part of the ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW)—a wireless next generation network proposal. The WBCs are used by the service providers to broadcast advertisements ...
  • We had to do intelligent thinking during recent PE: students' and teachers' experiences of assessment for learning in post-primary physical education 
    MacPhail, Ann; Halbert, John (Taylor and Francis, 2010)
    This study arose in response to a perceived need for additional teacher support for assessment in physical education and the limited focus in physical education pedagogy literature on the impact of Assessment for Learning ...
  • Weak percolation on multiplex networks 
    Baxter, Gareth J.; Dorogovtsev, Sergey N.; Mendes, José F.F.; Cellai, Davide (Americann Physical Society, 2014)
    Bootstrap percolation is a simple but nontrivial model. It has applications in many areas of science and has been explored on random networks for several decades. In single-layer (simplex) networks, it has been recently ...
  • Weakening the Dolev-Yao model through probability 
    Bresciani, Riccardo; Butterfield, Andrew (Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)
    The Dolev-Yao model has been widely used in protocol verificaion and has been implemented in many protocol verifiers. There are strong assumptions underlying this model, such as perfect cryptography: the aim of the ...
  • Wear of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in total knee prostheses: a review of key influences 
    McGloughlin, Timothy M.; Kavanagh, A.G. (Institute of Mechanical Engineers, 2000)
    The formation and development of wear is now widely accepted as one of the major concerns in the long-term survivorship of contemporary knee prostheses in vivo. This review examines the role of surface topography, third-body ...
  • Wear particle analysis and the evolution of the plastically deformed layer on Australian rail steel 
    Athukorala, Asitha C.; De Pellegrin, Dennis V.; Battaglia, Ben T.; Kourousis, Kyriakos I. (Trans Tech Publications, 2016)
    Particle analysis methodology is presented, together with the morphology of the wear debris formed during rolling contact fatigue. Wear particles are characterised by their surface topography and in terms of wear mechanism. ...
  • Weathering the storm? Multinational companies and human resource management through the global financial crisis 
    Gunnigle, Patrick; Lavelle, Jonathan; Monaghan, Sinéad (Emerald Publishing Group Ltd.,, 2013)
    Purpose - This paper aims to examine the impact of the global financial crisis on human resource management (HRM) in multinational companies (MNCs) in Ireland. It focuses on four key areas of BR, namely staffing, pay and ...
  • The weaving of traceforms and built forms 
    Healy, Anna (School of Architecture, University of Limerick, 2011)
    I’ve been exploring the movement between and through built forms that can free them from being a spatial limit and instead allow them to become a temporal and spatial experience. This experience includes an awareness of ...
