    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 ...
  • A water-stable functionalized NiCo-LDH/MOF nanocomposite: green synthesis, characterization, and its environmental application for heavy metals adsorption 
    Soltani, Roozbeh; Pelalak, Rasool; Pishnamazi, Mahboubeh; Marjani, Azam; Shirazian, Saeed (Elsevier, 2021)
    Removal of toxic heavy metals from aquatic environments has become a major concern due to environmental problems and the potential hazards and risks posed by them. Nowadays, the adsorption method as one of the most effective ...
  • 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; Ó'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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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. ...
  • Web service integration for next generation localisation 
    Lewis, David; Curran, Stephen; Feeney, Kevin; Etzioni, Zohar; Keeney, John; Way, Andy; Schäler, Reinhard (Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)
    Developments in Natural Language Processing technologies promise a variety of benefits to the localization industry, both in its current form in performing bulk enterprise-based localization and in the future in ...
  • Web-based systems design: a study of contemporary practices and an explanatory framework based on “method-in-action” 
    Lang, Michael; Fitzgerald, Brian (Springer, London, 2007)
    This paper reports the findings of a detailed study of Web-based systems design (WBSD) practices in Ireland based on data collected over a 3-year period (2002–2005), the objectives of which were to (1) contribute towards ...
  • The Weibull MPR model for interval censored survival data 
    Peng, Defen; Burke, Kevin; MacKenzie, Gilbert (IWSM, 2018)
    The Weibull multi-parameter regression (MPR) model with frailty is developed for interval censored survival data. The basic MPR model which is wholly parametric with non-proportional hazards was developed by Burke ...
  • Weighted Item ranking for pairwise matrix factorization 
    Zhang, Haiyang; Ganchev, Ivan; Nikolov, Nikola S.; Ó'Droma, Máirtín (IEEE Computer Society, 2019)
    Recommendation systems employed on the Internet aim to serve users by recommending items which will likely be of interest to them. The recommendation problem could be cast as either a rating estimation problem which ...
  • What information is used in treatment decision aids? A systematic review of the types of evidence populating health decision aids 
    Clifford, Amanda M.; Ryan, Jean; Walsh, Cathal Dominic; McCurtin, Arlene (BioMed Central, 2017)
    Background: Patient decision aids (DAs) are support tools designed to provide patients with relevant information to help them make informed decisions about their healthcare.  While DAs can be effective in improving ...
  • What is interactive art? An uncomplicated (possibly incautious) definition 
    Torre, Giuseppe (University of Limerick, 2018)
    In this book I offer a definition of interactive art. The argument I put forward ( in a somehow unorthodox/tongue and cheek manner) is that interactive art is, in its essence, a poststructuralist practice. This claim ...
  • Where does design thinking leave design? Snapshots of a conversation with the design community 
    Kiernan, Louise (School of Design, University); Spruce, Jon (Manchester Metropolitan University); Douglas, Michelle (Griffith University); Ryan, Annmarie (Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick) (ITERATIONS, 2020)
    Design Thinking has gained recognition as an acclaimed process for generating innovative, human centred solutions at a social and business level. It has also gained notoriety amongst many designers, who claim that its ...
  • Whisker sensors enable AUV deployment near hazards 
    Toal, Daniel; Flanagan, Colin (World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS), 2004)
