Integrating Biomedical Engineering Research with Undergraduate Teaching – A Research-Teaching Nexus Approach
(Infonomics Society, 2022)The integration of research with undergraduate teaching can further enhance the third-level learning experience, by improving learners’ problem solving, critical inquiry and design thinking skills. Unfortunately, research ... -
Advances in multifunctional balanced ventilation technology for dwellings and arising challenge to quantify energy efficiency and renewable generation contributions using international test standards
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-12)This paper evaluates the ability of EN16573:2017 to isolate and quantify the energy efficiency and renewable generation contributions of multifunctional balanced ventilation systems. These systems integrate an air-source ... -
Comparison of metaheuristic optimisation methods for grid-edge technology that leverages heat pumps and thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 2020-06)Grid-edge technology can unlock flexibility from consumers to contribute to meeting the growing need for flexibility in European energy systems. Furthermore, power-to-heat technology such as heat pumps and thermal energy ... -
Graft orientation influences meshing ratio
(Elsevier, 2018-05)Objectives: The technique of meshed skin grafting is known since 1960s. It was shown that there is a difference between the declared and real expansion ratio of the skin meshed graft. We hypothesize that the orientation ... -
Experimental study of hybrid precast concrete lattice girder floor at construction stage
(Elsevier, 2019-08)s part of an on-going research project on the hybrid precast lattice girder floor system, a series of six specimens were physically tested in the laboratory to investigate the behaviour of the floor at construction stage. ... -
Real-time monitoring of concrete–lattice-girder slabs during construction
(ICE Publishing, 2017-12)This paper reports on the instrumentation, monitoring and some preliminary results from a real-time monitoring scheme of a hybrid concrete–lattice-girder slab flooring system. One of the key benefits of this monitoring ... -
Real-time monitoring to investigate structural performance of hybrid precast concrete educational buildings
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-11-22)The motivation and implementation of a real-time structural health monitoring strategy to determine the structural performance of a number of educational buildings recently constructed in Ireland is discussed in this paper. ... -
Investigation of thermal behaviour of a hybrid concrete floor using embedded sensors
(Springer (International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials), 2018-10-05)Concrete structures expand and contract in response to temperature changes which can result in structural strain and cracking. However, there is a limited amount of robust field data on hybrid concrete floor structures. ... -
Proposing an Innovation-Based View of the Firm
(2018-12-12)The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature on theories of the firm and argues for the importance of an innovation based view (IBV). In doing so, it examines the incumbent management theories of the firm, ... -
Thermo King Carbon Neutral Production Line Project
(2019-03)This paper describes an ongoing collaboration between Thermo King and the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, in the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). The company has an operation in Galway where ... -
The Philosophy of Innovation in Management Education: A Study utilising Aristotle’s Concept of Phronesis
(2019)While much has been written on phronesis, there is a dearth of empirical work on the how the concept can be developed and implemented in practice, particularly in an educational setting. To address this problem, characteristics ... -
An evaluation of the design and use of applied visual interactive resources for teaching building regulations in higher education built environment programmes
(2019-01)This research is situated in the field of higher education teaching and learning and specifically relates to building regulation pedagogy. A research gap has been identified with scope to develop online visual building ... -
IT enabled R&D for business value in a global framework
(Springer, 2016)Historically innovation research and development (R&D) has been investigated in terms of product and more recently service applications. The central argument of this paper is that information technology can support R&D in ... -
Phenomenological Realism: A Pragmatic Lens for Information Systems Research
(2017-08)The growing influence of the paradigm of Pragmatism on information systems (IS) research has resulted in some scholars arguing that the perspective should be regarded as an explicit research approach alongside established ... -
An evaluation of site operatives knowledge, behaviour, motivation, beliefs, and attitudes toward construction and demolition waste management in Ireland
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2015)Despite ever-evolving environmental concerns resulting from increased awareness of environmental sustainability and the rising costs of landfill levies, taxes and raw materials, the Construction and demolition (C&D) industry ... -
The wizard of OZ: instilling a resilient heart into self-service business applications
(2006)Speech enabled business applications are characterized by complex implementations that bring together language processing technologies, applications development, and end-user psychology. Resilience is critical to maintaining ... -
Building a dolmen: an ISD approach to the management of innovation
(Springer, 2009)This paper addresses a “challenge in practice” by describing the initial stage of an information systems development (ISD) project to support the management of innovation within a subsidiary of APC-MGE. To begin with, a ... -
The triple helix, open innovation and the DOI research agenda
(Springer, 2007)This paper examines the implications for research into the diffusion of innovations (DOI) arising from a growing body of literature in two related fields. The first area concerns the debate on the role of regional and ... -
Innovation management in a multi-national corporation’s subsidiary of Ireland’s evolving knowledge economy
(2006)Innovation management is now seen as an important competitive advantage for Multi-national Corporation (MNC) subsidiaries located in Ireland’s changing economy. This paper reports on the initial stages of a case study in ... -
