Application of systems simulation for predicting and optimizing energy requirements for a HDF moulded door skin manufacturing production plant
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)In today’s straggling economy, manufacturing companies make a great effort to maintain their competitive advantage. Daily they face challenges o f improving efficiency and reducing cost. In order to survive in this rough ... -
An investigation into the keying behaviour and the capacity of plate anchors in sand
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2014-10)This thesis considers the potential of plate anchors as an anchoring option for offshore renewable energy devices such as wave energy converters and floating offshore wind turbines. In this study the performance of a plate ... -
Coding theory, group automorphisms and units of finite group algebras
(Insitute of Technology, Sligo, 2014-10)Group Algebras can be used to construct Low Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) and Convolution Codes. These codes have applications within digital communication and storage, such as to improve the performance of digital ... -
Biomass CHP optimisation
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)Ever increasing competition in the energy market place is driving companies to revaluate their current operation and develop means o f delivering their product in a more cost effective manner. Electricity generation is ... -
An investigation into the utilisation of energy in landfill gas to supply a community electricity and district heating scheme
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of producing and distributing energy in the form electricity and district heating, derived from LFG (Landfill Gas) produced by an existing municipal waste stream. The ... -
Route scaling and multihoming
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2006)The hyperexponential growth of Internet routing tables will soon exceed the capabilities of existing hardware adding to increased costs and significant degradation in routing performance. -

(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2005)Executive Summary Project Title Accessibility and Data Mining maximises Survey Research potential Motivating Problem This research project comprised an investigation of the process of designing and developing a generic ... -
Integration of district heating with existing combined cycle gas turbines in North Dublin
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)There is potential in Ireland for the development o f existing large scale CCGT by conversion to CHP. A district heating network developed for North Dublin would provide this opportunity for CCGT generating stations. ... -
Transaction re-engineering using scanning technology
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2005)The project arose out o f a need to update and improve the overall efficiency o f a small/medium sized manufacturing and distribution company. The re-engineered system streamlines the process o f ordering, production ... -
Securing network communications : with a practical example of a firewall written in C++
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2006)The statistics that are quoted about user interactions with the Internet are hard to comprehend, a technology that didn’t exist m any real commercial way less than 20 years ago is now probably the singularly most dominant ... -
Scheduling and optimising XML pipeline processing
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2004)This thesis describes PropelXbi - an implementation of the XPipe paradigm - then investigates and critically assesses relevant techniques which have the potential for streamlining PropelXbi’s performance and, finally, ... -
An investigation of the use of vision systems for the robotic control of automated vehicles
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2007)Humans’ usage of the motor vehicle for transport and freight is ever increasing. It seems that the risks and level of accident rates associated with these traffic systems can only be lessened by increasingly complex systems, ... -

(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2011)The global drive toward sustainability is well under way. Academic institutions have an important role to play in this shift towards sustainability. Third level educational establishments, as part o f the wider public ... -
An investigation into the commercialisation of final year projects within Creative Design courses
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2014)The aim of this study is to identify and investigate the barriers to commercialisation of Final Year Projects within Creative Design courses. The term Creative Design refers to Creative Design, Product Design and Industrial ... -
Measuring and modelling of field reliability for an electronic product
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2006-09)Traditionally field reliability has been measured and predicted by the use of manufacturing data. One of the great challenges that manufacturers of electronic products face is trying to measure accurately how a product ... -
Design and validation of a device to measure the cutting edge profile of osteotomes
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2005)The cutting capacity of a cutting instrument is normally defined as its sharpness, which defines the ability of the cutting edge to cut the target material. Many factors therefore affect the ability of a blade to cut, ... -
The design and validation of a multi-layer model of human skin
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2007-04)Human skin is a complex multi-layered material consisting of the epidermis, dermis and underlying hypodermis. For several decades, much effort has gone into the development of mathematical and computer models of skin. A ... -
The application of intelligent software agents in network fault diagnosis
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2000-08)With the advent of existing and future networking, the task of network fault monitoring and in particular that of fault diagnosis is becoming quite complex. Agents can be used to help in this domain. A software agent is ...
