Enabling human-robot-interaction via augment and mixed reality system.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)This research concentrates on path planning stage of industrial robots, where AR technologies can be utilised by operators with limited background knowledge in robotic programming to: Plan and store end effector ... -
Long-term trends in herring growth primarily linked to temperature by gradient boosting regression trees
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)Environmental change and fishing activity can produce directional trends in exploited fish populations with consequences for stock productivity. For herring in the Celtic Sea, size at age has been in steady decline since ... -
Floating microplastics in a coastal embayment: a multifaceted issue
(Elsevier, 2020-06-05)Floating microplastic debris at the ocean's surface represents about 1% of all plastics found in the environment, with the remainder thought to be either deposited along the coast or sinks to the bottom of the ocean. This ... -
Experimental investigation of optimum properties and conditions for use of anionic emulsions in road maintenance applications
(2020-08)Bitumen emulsions are used for a range of road maintenance applications, including surface dressing, gravel seals, slurry seals, tack coating, cold-mix asphalt and in situ pavement recycling. The emulsions used can be ... -
An open-source database model and collections management system for fish scale and otolith archives
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Scales and otoliths (ear stones) from fish are routinely sampled for age estimation and fisheries management purposes. Growth records from scales and otoliths can be used to generate long-term time series data, and in ... -
The investigation into the improvement of the thermal conductivity of an additive manufactured blow moulding tool
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020)The project will be carried out using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative research. The work will cover the establishment of a baseline using traditional tooling followed by the incremental alterations to improve ... -
A QoE and visual attention evaluation on the influence of spatial audio in 360° videos
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)What is the impact of different types of audio (stereo & spatial) on user QoE (Quality of Experience) and Visual Attention in 360° video environments? -
Anomaly detection in cyber security

"Collateral damage in the war on travel writing": recovering reader responses to contemporary travel writing
(University of Zadar, Croatia, 2020-04)Scholarship of travel writing has seldom paid proper attention to questions of how and why readers engage with the genre – an oversight which, as Robin Jarvis (2016) has noted, at times leads to negative generalizations ... -
Purified β‐glucans from the Shiitake mushroom ameliorates antibiotic‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae‐induced pulmonary sepsis
(Society for Applied Microbiology, 2020-07-24)Bacterial infection remains the main cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome and is a leading cause of death and disability in critically ill patients. Here we report on the use of purified β‐glucan (lentinan) extracts ... -
Unlocking challenges and opportunities presented by Covid-19 pandemic for cross-cutting disruption in agri-food and green deal innovations: quo vadis?
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)COVID-19 pandemic is on a trajectory to cause catastrophic global upheaval with the potential to alter geopolitical and socio-economic norms. Many countries are frantically responding with staggering financial stimulus ... -
Mechanism of formation, characterization and cytotoxicity of green synthesized zinc nanoparticles obtained from Ilex paraguariensis leaves extract
(Elsevier, 2020-10)Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was produced using Ilex paraguariensis (mate) leaves extract using a green synthesis process. The influence of ethanolic and aqueous plant extract and zinc source on the green synthesis ... -
Fear-avoidance following musculoskeletal injury in male adolescent Gaelic footballers
(Human Kinetics, 2020-03-12)Gaelic football participation provides a wealth of benefits but a risk of 4 musculoskeletal injury also exists. Injury is associated with physical consequences, including 5 pain, discomfort, loss of function, time absent ... -

Creating spaces for relational reflexivity in social care education
(2018)This research sets out to explore how social care training might embrace more relationally reflexive learning processes within existing course provision, to assist students for practice in social care contexts. -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 genes are associated with milk production, body condition score and fertility traits in dairy cows.
(GMR, 2011-08-26)The somatotrophic axis (GH-IGF) is a key regulator of animal growth and development, affecting performance traits that include milk production, growth rate, body composition, and fertility. The aim of this study was to ... -
DNA sequence polymorphisms within the bovine guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs subunit alpha (Gsα)-encoding (GNAS) genomic imprinting domain are associated with performance traits
(BMC, 2011-01-11)Background: Genes which are epigenetically regulated via genomic imprinting can be potential targets for artificial selection during animal breeding. Indeed, imprinted loci have been shown to underlie some important ... -
