(Wiley, 2021-11)Objective: To test the feasibility of using a standardised data collection tool to estimate the cost of stage 2–4 pressure ulcer (PU) care within an acute care setting. Method: Data on resource use and cost were ... -
Perspectives on engineering education from the world of practice
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-16)This special issue on early career engineers responds to a key challenge in engineering education – that of bringing the largely separate worlds of engineering education and engineering practice closer together. There ... -
Upcycling biodegradable PVA/starch film to a bacterial biopigment and biopolymer
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)Meeting the challenge of circularity for plastics requires amenability to repurposing post-use, as equivalent or upcycled products. In a compelling advancement, complete circularity for a biodegradable polyvinyl ... -
GRU-based deep learning approach for network intrusion alert prediction
(Elsevier, 2021-11)The exponential growth in the number of cyber attacks in the recent past has necessitated active research on network intrusion detection, prediction and mitigation systems. While there are numerous solutions available for ... -
Post-exercise cold water immersion does not improve subsequent 4-km cycling time-trial compared with passive and active recovery in normothermia.
(Frontiers Media, 2021-10-25)Background: We investigated whether a brief cold water immersion between two cycling time trials (TT) improves the performance of the latter compared with passive and active recovery in normothermic conditions ... -
Deep neural networks for sequence based anomaly detection in cyber security
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)Cyber security has become one of the most challenging aspects of modern world digital technology and it has become imperative to minimize and possibly avoid the impact of cybercrimes. Host based intrusion detection systems ... -
A workflow engine server (WES) for the design of adaptive and scalable workflows
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)The generation of a workflow is an important management system that is widely applied in many different types of business. The traditional workflow approach, applied in specialised areas such as health or environmental ... -
A QoE evaluation on the influence of spatial audio on visual attention in 360° videos
