RAST model: Simulation of tensiotraces to facilitate drophad engineering
(IOP Publishing, 2011)Tensiography is a technique that determines the physical and chemical properties of a liquid by illuminating a growing pendant drop from within using a source fibre. Light reflected internally at the surface of the drop ... -
A new optical method of continuously analysing the surface properties of a single pendant drop while obtaining quality bulk spectral and refractive index measurements of the liquid-under-test
(IOP Publishing, 2009)The classical stalagmometer has been replaced by the tensiometer to measure surface properties from drop volume. From the drop period T1, converted into volume, the surface properties of the liquid can be obtained. In the ... -
Fundamental limits of measurement in telecommunications: Experimental and modeling studies in a test optical network on proposal for the reform of telecommunication quantitations
(IOP Publishing, 2011)Proposals for a review of the limits of measurement for telecommunications are made. The measures are based on adapting work from the area of chemical metrology for the field of telecommunications. Currie has introduced ... -
Experimental observations with ultra-speed imaging revealing new complex detail of drop separation processes from a large diameter drophead
(IOP Publishing, 2011)An ultraspeed (5000 frames a second) camera has been used to record the drop separating from the photometric instrument the tensiograph. New insights into drop separation processes which have been evaluated in terms of the ... -
Commencement measurements giving fundamental surface tension determinations in tensiometry
(IOP Publishing, 2011)This study provides experimental testing of a ray-tracing model of the tensiotrace that explores the measurement potential of a well-defined optical position in the tensiotrace signal known as the 'commencement'. This point ... -
Regional earning disparities and the speed of transition: Evidence from Poland 1994–1997
(Springer, 2012)In the early days of transition Poland hosted regional earning disparities. Low levels of worker and firm mobility allow us to threat regions as local labor markets. Wage behavior is modeled in regional labor markets as ... -
‘Smokeless campus’ smoking cessation intervention
(2019)In February 2018, following ongoing consultation with students and staff and extensive work carried out by the Smokeless Campus Committee, Institute of Technology Carlow became a ‘Smokeless Campus’. This profile relates ... -
Arsenic monitoring in water by colorimetry using an optimized leucomalachite green method
(MDPI, 2019)Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a global concern. Standard laboratory methods that are commonly used for arsenic detection in water, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy, are not suitable ... -
Library staff exchanges: A catalyst for sharing practice, CPD and fresh thinking
(Library Association of Ireland, 2018-02)This paper outlines a library staff exchange that took place between the librarians of Bord Bia and Institute of Technology, Carlow in December 2016. The authors reflect upon the perceived benefits of participating in the ... -
Promoting men’s awareness, self-examination, and help-seeking for testicular disorders: A systematic review of interventions
(F1000 Research, 2018)Background: Testicular cancer (TC) is commonly diagnosed among men aged 15-40 years. The incidence of TC is on the rise. Benign testicular disorders such as testicular torsion and epididymitis can lead to testicular ischemia, ... -
Training load monitoring in rugby union
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)The aim of this study was to examine the different measures of training load monitoring used in rugby union and their correlation with each other. The present study also aimed to determine whether individual or arbitrary ... -
The effect of milk on recovery from repeat-sprint cycling in female team-sport athletes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017)The consumption of milk following eccentric exercise attenuates the effects of muscle damage in team-sport athletes. However, participation in team sport involves both concentric–eccentric loading and metabolic stress. ... -
Novel advanced scoping meta-review methodology for defining a graduate level textbook in an emerging subject area
(LIBER - the Association of European Research Libraries, 2018-03-12)This paper describes a library-based project involving the library staff at the Institute of Technology Carlow (ITC), in a collaboration led by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), Action MP1302 ... -
Lithium in the natural waters of the South East of Ireland
(MDPI, 2017)The South East of Ireland (County Carlow) contains a deposit of the valuable lithium-bearing mineral spodumene (LiAl(SiO3)2). This resource has recently attracted interest and abstractive mining in the area is a possibility ... -
Gene editing in the context of an increasingly complex genome
(BioMed Central, 2018)The reporting of the first draft of the human genome in 2000 brought with it much hope for the future in what was felt as a paradigm shift toward improved health outcomes. Indeed, we have now mapped the majority of variation ... -
A review and classification of assisted living systems
(MDPI, 2018)Europe’s social agenda for the “active elderly” is based upon a series of programs that provide a flexible infrastructure for their lives so that they are motivated, engaged in lifelong learning, and contributing to society. ... -
Towards a technological university: A design approach to knowledge creation
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Irish economic strategies, in line with broader global strategies, aim to promote innovation and knowledge creation. The past notion that knowledge was a learned entity which stopped and was repeated as needed no longer ... -
Analysis of the vermicomposting process and its implications for plant growth promotion under Irish conditions
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Waste is an ongoing issue, especially in Ireland. Current waste management treatments are becoming unsustainable; therefore, research on alternative methods is being conducted. This project investigates the use of ... -
The effects of cows milk, goats milk, whey protein and an energy-matched carbohydrate drink on recovery from repeated sprinting and jumping in team sport athletes
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Introduction: Effective recovery following intense exercise is integral for any athlete to ensure subsequent performance is optimised (Kellmann, 2010). The aim of this investigation was to determine the effects of cows ... -
Ocular metrics in concussion: An analytical prospective cohort study to establish normative ocular metrics in a healthy sporting population
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Introduction: Concussion diagnosis is a clinical challenge for healthcare providers. Identification of concussion is presently aided by tools such as the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT3); such tools remain largely ...
