Integrated optical-thermal-mechanical model for investigations into high temperature sodium receiver operation

Conroy, Timothy J.; Collins, Maurice N.; Grimes, Ronan (Elsevier, 2019)

An integrated optical-thermal-mechanical model is used to simulate the interaction between a heliostat ﬁeld and sodium-cooled receiver through diurnal CSP plant operation. The cumulative heat ﬂux on the receiver is controlled ...
Outdoor walking speeds of apparently healthy adults: A systematic review and meta‑analysis

Murtagh, Elaine M.; Mair, Jacqueline L.; Aguiar, Elroy; Tudor‑Locke, Catrine; Murphy, Marie H. (Springer, 2020)

Background Walking outdoors can be used by many individuals to meet public health guidelines for moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. The speed at which adults walk may be a proxy for intensity. Traditional ...
Steps, style and sensing the difference: transmission and the re-contextualisation of Molyneaux’s traditional set dances within the Irish traditional dance competitive arena

Foley, Catherine E. (Taylor and Francis, 2020)

In this paper, I examine the re-contextualisation of particular versions of solo traditional set dances from the region of North Kerry, Ireland, by teachers and step dancers of competitive step dancing for competition. ...
On the signiﬁcance of sulphuric-acid dissociation in the modelling of vanadium redox ﬂow batteries

Vynnycky, Michael; Assunção, M. (Springer, 2020)

A recent asymptotic model for the operation of a vanadium redox ﬂow battery (VRFB) is extended to include the dissociation of sulphuric acid - a bulk chemical reaction that occurs in the battery’s porous ﬂow-through ...
Resistance exercise training for anxiety and worry symptoms among young adults: a randomized controlled trial

Gordon, Brett R; McDowell, Cillian P.; Lyons, Mark; Herring, Matthew P. (Springernature, 2020)

This trial quantified the effects of ecologically-valid resistance exercise training (RET) on anxiety and worry symptoms among young adults. Young adults not meeting criteria for subclinical, or analogue Generalized ...
The (mis)alignment between young people's collective physical activity experience and physical education curriculum development in Ireland

Coulter, Maura; Scanlon, Dylan; MacPhail, Ann; O'Brien, Wesley; Belton, Sarahjane; Woods, Catherine B. (Taylor and Francis, 2020)

Major curriculum changes have recently occurred in Ireland, including redeveloping the primary curriculum and the enactment of the Junior Cycle Framework (DES, 2015). Positive and negative experiences affect the attitudes ...
Influence of number of membership functions on prediction of membrane systems using adaptive network based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)

Babanezhad, Meisam; Masoumian, Armin; Nakhjiri, Ali Taghvaie; Marjani, Azam; Shirazian, Saeed (Springernature, 2020)

In membrane separation technologies, membrane modules are used to separate chemical components. In membrane technology, understanding the behavior of fluids inside membrane module is challenging, and numerical methods ...
Thrombosis and COVID-19: The potential role of nutrition

Tsoupras, Alexandros; Lordan, Ronan; Zabetakis, Ioannis (Frontiers Media, 2020)

COVID-19 has caused signiﬁcant loss of life and disrupted global society at a level never before encountered. While the disease was predominantly characterized by respiratory symptoms initially, it became clear that ...
