(Elsevier, 2018)The receiver in a concentrated solar power (CSP) tower system accounts for a considerable proportion of plant capital costs, and its role in converting radiant solar energy into thermal energy affects the cost of generated ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)Theoretical modelling techniques are used to compare the thermohydraulic performance and thermal storage characteristics of molten salt, liquid sodium, and lead-bismuth in a CSP solar receiver concept. For molten salt, the ...
-
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2002)The Cardboard Box Garden (CBG) originated from a shared dissatisfaction with current computer technology as it is presented to children. This paper shall briefly review the process involved in the creation of this ...
-
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2002)This paper documents the design process for an augmented children's play environment centred on that most ubiquitous and simple of objects, the cardboard box. The purpose of the exercise is to show how computer technology ...
-
(2002)In this paper, we describe the current work being conducted at the Interaction Design Centre on the design and development of a novel interactive museum exhibition. The particular context and cultural setting of the ...
-
(2003)This paper describes an observational study of visitors interacting with artefacts in a museum, and attempts to draw from these studies a number of design considerations. Gaining a thorough understanding of the context, ...
-
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2004)Interactive exhibits are now commonplace in museum settings, providing ‘edutainment’ for visitors. However, many technologies co-exist uneasily with more traditional methods of display. In this paper we describe a design ...
-
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2004)Re-Tracing the Past: exploring objects, stories, mysteries, was an exhibition held at the Hunt Museum, in Limerick, Ireland from 9th--19th June 2003. We attempted to create an exhibition that would be an engaging experience ...
-
(GPCG, 2007)This paper reports on the outcomes of the December 2006 CONVIVIO Faculty Forum and the proposed framework and guidelines for design exercises to stimulate creativity, developed at the Forum.
-
(2007)This NSF Design Requirements Workshop has a very ambitious and wide-ranging set of objectives. It invites contributions from a wide range of disciplines and encourages a variety of perspectives on requirements and design, ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2018)Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols on gold are a commonly used platform for nanotechnology owing to their ease of preparation and high surface coverage. Unfortunately, the gold−sulfur bond is oxidized at ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of a novel “safety-valve” device for preventing catheter related urethral trauma during urethral catheterization (UC). To assess the opinions of clinicians on the performance of the ...
-
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)Three-dimensional (3D) carbon-wrapped iron sulfide interlocked graphene (Fe7S8@C-G) composites for high-performance sodium-ion storage are designed and produced through electrostatic interaction and subsequent sulfurization. ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)The Flory-Huggins (FH) model has been one of the most used models in theoretical calculations which has been proved to be sensitive to values assigned as interaction parameters. In this work, a predictive equation is ...
-
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)Transformation of cellulose into monosaccharides can be achieved by hydrolysis of the cellulose chains, carried out by a special group of enzymes known as cellulases. The enzymatic mechanism of cellulases is well described, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mechanical properties of gastrointestinal (GI) tissue segments and to compare them with the urinary bladder for urinary tract reconstruction. METHODS Urinary bladders and GI tissue segments were ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)The insulin family of growth factors plays an important role in development and function of the nervous system. Reduced insulin and insulin-growth-factor signaling (IIS), however, can improve symptoms of neurodegenerative ...
-
(University of Limerick, 2018)Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is the most commonly investigated 3D printing technology for the manufacture of personalized medicines, however, the high temperatures used in the process limit its wider application. The ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)Building energy simulations have found widespread use as decision-making tools for determining design and retrofitting actions. Despite their popularity, there exists a well-reported issue regarding the numerical treatment ...
-
(MDPI, 2018)Two self-associating biopolymers, namely chitosan (Ch) and a high-molar-mass hyaluronan (HA), were used to prepare membranes with the aim to protect and to enhance the healing of injured skin. A mitochondrially-targeted ...
