Building information modelling (BIM) based energy analysis and response to low carbon construction innovations
(Institute of Technology, Sligo., 2013)Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process o f generating and managing building data during its life cycle, it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in ... -
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 ... -
Derivations of group algebras with applications /
(2020)This thesis is a study of derivations of group algebras. Derivations are shown to be trivial for semisimple group algebras of abelian groups. The derivations of a group algebra are classified in terms of the generators ... -
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 ... -
