Recent Submissions
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2019)We consider the instability properties of dense granular flow in inclined plane and plane shear geometries as tests for the compressible inertial-dependent rheology. The model, which is a recent generalisation of the ...
-
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2017)We summarize the present form of the instability theory for drumlin formation, which describes the coupled subglacial flow of ice, water and sediment. This model has evolved over the last 20 years, and is now at the point ...
-
(2018)Rain erosion of leading edges of wind turbine blades is caused by repeated high speed liquid droplet impacts, which provokes damage in the form of pitting or peeling over time and can lead to a signi cant reduction in ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This study investigates the combined effect of three Additive Manufacturing (AM) build orientations (0° , 45° , and 90° ) and an extensive array of heat-treatment plans on the plastic anisotropy of EOS maraging steel 300 ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)The operational amplifier (op-amp) is one of the most commonly used analogue circuits for analogue and mixed-signal Integrated Circuit (IC) designs. The op-amp is widely designed using a sub-micron Complementary ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This work investigates the mechanism for the heterogeneous nucleation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the presence of different excipient heterosurfaces. By elucidating this mechanism for a range of API ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This thesis describes the development of high-capacity, next generation Li-ion battery (LIB) electrodes based on nanostructured Li-alloying materials, silicon and germanium. The results chapters are arranged as research ...
-
(Nova Science Pub Inc;, 2014)The benefits of using some type of automation to reduce the time and cost of software development is generally accepted in most domains, video games1 included. While there are a wide variety of automation techniques ...
-
(Springer, 2012)In this paper we discuss the need to extend the standard types of character behaviours found in game environments if we are to create new and more compelling gaming experiences. We propose using techniques from Evolutionary ...
-
(Springer, 2015)In this paper we introduce a new Grammatical Evolution (GE) system designed to support the speci cation of problem semantics in the form of attribute grammars (AG). We discuss the motivations behind our system design, ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This thesis describes a body of research work focused on the domain of marine robotics and underwater manipulator control systems in particular. Work-class marine ROVs equipped with hydraulic manipulators are widely used ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This thesis describes a body of research work in the domain of underwater robotics, aimed towards improving performance and efficiency; and achieving partial or full autonomy in a wide range of inspection and intervention ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)The swift, unambiguous identification of disease markers in low concentrations is fundamental to early detection and good prognosis. Immunoassays, which are analytical disease diagnostic tests, provide quantitative recognition ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This thesis reports investigations on Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, namely valvejet technology and fused deposition modelling for the production of personalised dosage forms of low dose and low-melting ...
-
Plastic optical fibre based sensors for monitoring physiological parameters in clinical environments (University of Limerick, 2018)This dissertation focuses on a plastic optical fibre (POF) sensor based on intensity modulation for health monitoring applications in a modern clinical environment. The sensor is suitable for spine bending monitoring as ...
-
(Univesity of Limerick, 2018)This thesis describes the development of a range of metal oxide, metal chalcogenide and metal alloy composites, using metal-organic materials (MOMs) as sacrificial precursors and their application as electrode materials ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)The intrinsic motivations of IT professionals play an important role in their work performance and personal ambitions. It follows that a greater understanding of these motivations would be of benefit to both the IT ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)This PhD thesis presents an investigation into the feasibility of repurposing endof- life notebook computers as thin client computers. Repurposing is the identification of a new use for a product that can no longer be ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)Inventories of forest soil carbon (C) stocks are necessary to determine spatial and temporal C stock changes and support climate change mitigation policy development. Afforested podzols and peaty podzols were sampled to ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)Statisticians are among the most in demand problem solvers in today's data driven world, with their expertise often employed to address emerging issues in other scientific fields by adopting, modifying and/or developing ...
