Predicting and locating fracture in bone using acoustic emission
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2015)A novel way to predict intra-operative fracture during Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) using acoustic emission (AE) has been tentatively discovered. AE has also been shown to be able to predict the location of such fracture. ... -
Modelling anaerobic wastewater treatment
(Institute of Technology, Sligo., 2006)There is a real need for dynamic models in the design and operation of treatment processes given that design theory and control strategy are directly linked to process modelling. The core objective of this study was to ... -
The removal of pollutants present in domestic wastewater by an inorganic medium.
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 1998)The removal of polluting parameters present in domestic wastewater, by the Biolat septic tank was investigated. Results obtained indicate that the Biolat media was responsible for the removal of ammonium and phosphate. ... -
Low carbon housing refurbishment challenges in Ireland : a discussion
(Institute of Technology, Sligo., 2013)There are a great many variants which need to be considered prior to undertaking a building’s refurbishment, including: cost of refurbishment and the pay-back time, effects to health and the environment in respect to ... -

(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. -
