The construction, survival, and use of signal defensible guard houses on the Irish coast /
(2021)In the first decade of the 19th century a new system of 81 military signal stations were constructed around the Irish coast. At 74 signal stations, purpose-built signal defensible guard houses were constructed, and some ... -
Development of fungal expression plasmids to facilitate promoter profiling and gene silencing studies in Coprinopsis cinerea /
(2020)The ink cap mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea (formally Coprinus cinereus) has long been regarded as one of the best model systems for the study of basidiomycete fungi. Most attention in C. cinerea has been focused on processes ... -
An integrated computer vision and machine learning system for emulsion processing /
(2020)The existing quality evaluation of emulsions is typically based on subjective examination of samples under the microscope by trained analysts. The major drawbacks of such manual assessment include inter-observer variability, ... -
Challenges for the Regulatory Affairs Function in Demonstrating Compliance for Existing CE Marked Devices to the New EU Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 /
(2019)The Medical Device industry in Europe, and specifically Ireland, is a critically important manufacturing sector underpinned with strong potential for further growth in the coming years. To place any Medical Device on the ... -
Comparison of Intelligent Approaches for Cycle Time Prediction in Injection Moulding of a Medical Device Product /
(IEEE, 2021-11-15)Injection moulding is an increasingly automated industrial process, particularly when used for the production of high-value precision components such as polymeric medical devices. In such applications, achieving stringent ... -
The Application of Computational Chemistry and Chemometrics to Developing a Method for Online Monitoring of Polymer Degradation in the Manufacture of Bioresorbable Medical Implants /
(Springer-Verlag, 2014)Bioresorbable polymers such as PLA have an important role to play in the development of temporary implantable medical devices with significant benefits over traditional therapies. However, development of new devices is ... -
Solid Electrolytes for High-Temperature Stable Batteries and Supercapacitors /
(Wiley, 2021)Reports of recent fire accidents in the electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) industries show that thermal runaway (TR) reactions are a key consideration for the industry. Utilization of solid electrolytes (SEs) could ... -
Mo doped TiO2 : impact on oxygen vacancies, anatase phase stability and photocatalytic activity /
(IOP Publishing, 2020)This work outlines an experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of molybdenum (Mo) doping on the oxygen vacancy formation and photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Analytical techniques such as x-ray diffraction ... -
Indium-Doped TiO2 Photocatalysts with High-Temperature Anatase Stability /
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The thermal stability of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a prerequisite to fabricate photocatalyst coated indoor building materials for use in antimicrobial and self-cleaning applications under normal room light ... -
Heterogeneous Fenton catalysts: A review of recent advances /
(Elsevier, 2020)Heterogeneous Fenton catalysts are emerging as excellent materials for applications related to water purification. In this review, recent trends in the synthesis and application of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts for the ... -
Face Masks and Respirators in the Fight Against the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review of Current Materials, Advances and Future Perspectives /
(MDPI, 2020)The outbreak of COVID-19 has spread rapidly across the globe, greatly affecting how humans as a whole interact, work and go about their daily life. One of the key pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is ... -
Face masks and respirators in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic: an overview of the standards and testing methods /
(Elsevier, 2020-09-19)This shortage has resulted in an increase in production of PPE to meet the demand, and as a result, several substandard equipment has entered the market. With face masks and respirators now beginning to see widespread use ... -
New insights into the efficient charge transfer of ternary chalcogenides composites of TiO2 /
(Elsevier, 2020-10-05)A two-step solvothermal synthesis was adopted to prepare AgXSe2-TiO2 (X = In, Bi) composites. DFT study of the pristine parent samples showed the formation of the hexagonal phase of AgBiSe2, and tetragonal phase of AgInSe2 ... -
Yeats’s Legacy and Literary Tourism: A Study of the Yeats Winter School in Sligo /
(Faculty of Business and Humanities, Cork Institute of Technology., 2019)Literary tourism is of increasing importance within the field of cultural and heritage tourism yet remains under-represented in academic literature. Smith, et al. (2010, p. 108) define it as a “tourism activity motivated ... -
