An exploration into the criteria used in assessing design activities with adaptive comparative judgment in technology education.
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08)The use of design assignments for teaching, learning, and assessment is considered a signature of technology education. However, there are difficulties in the valid and reliable assessment of features of quality within ... -
Enzymatic activities and analysis of a mycelium-based composite formation using peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) residues on Lentinula edodes.
(Research Square, 2020-08-03)By seeding fungus on top of industry residues, a mycelium can grow and form a compacted network structure, producing a material whose properties can be quite similar to polystyrene. However, depending on the source used, ... -
Monitoring occupational sitting, standing, and stepping in office employees with the W@W-App and the MetaWearC Sensor: Validation Study.
(JMIR Publications, 2020-08)Background: Replacing occupational sitting time with active tasks has several proposed health benefits for office employees. Mobile phones and motion sensors can provide objective information in real time on occupational ... -
Influence analysis of persistent joint on single-hold blasting damage of rock mass.
(JESTR, 2020-05)It is difficult to be measure and analyze the blasting damage of rock masses containing persistent joint. A field test was conducted to determine the distribution range of blasting damage zone in intact rock mass for ... -
Development of alginate beads with encapsulated jabuticaba peel and propolis extracts to achieve a new natural colorant antioxidant additive.
(Elsevier, 2020-07)This work aims to encapsulate anthocyanins and phenolic compounds extracted from a native Brazilian fruit peel - jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel) and propolis from Tubuna (Scaptotrigona bipunctata) stingless ... -
A QoE evaluation of an immersive virtual reality autonomous driving experience.
(IEEE, 2020-05-26)The driver/passenger role in autonomous driving experiences is an important subject that is concerned with how these systems will interact and communicate with the human stakeholder. Even though self-driving technologies ... -
Polymer based additive manufacturing historical developments, process types and material considerations.
(Springer Nature, 2019)3D printing is a manufacturing technique where parts are built in a layer-by-layer fashion. The earliest embodiments were based on generating successive layers of solidified materials at the air liquid interface through ... -
An Evaluation of Lower Facial Micro Expressions as an Implicit QoE Metric for an Augmented Reality Procedure Assistance Application.
(2020)Augmented reality (AR) has been identified as a key technology to enhance worker utility in the context of increasing automation of repeatable procedures. AR can achieve this by assisting the user in performing complex and ... -
A QoE Evaluation of an Augmented Reality Procedure Assistance Application
(2020-05)Augmented reality (AR) is a key technology to enhance worker effectiveness during increasing automation of repetitive jobs in the workplace. AR will achieve this by assisting the user to successfully perform complex and ... -
Understanding the determinants of successful longevity.
(Athlone Institute of TechnologyAthlone Institute of Technology, 2019)Centenarians have long been regarded as paradigms for successful ageing due to their extreme survivorship. Centenarians are the fastest growing age demographic globally and current trajectories are indicative of this trend ... -
Inspired employees encourage eWOM.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)Electronic Word of Mouth(eWOM) messages, can be defined as: “Any positive or negative statements made by potential, actual, or former customers about a product or company, which is made available to a multitude of people and ... -
A quality of experience evaluation of an immersive virtual reality application developed to assess spatial auditory ability.
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has proven to be a powerful tool to create immersive environments with high quality visual and auditory experiences. Moreover, it can be used as an effective application ... -
An Evaluation of the Effects of Flipped Classroom Pre-Laboratory Activities on Students's Engagement with Laboratory Learning
(2020)A key goal of Institutes of Technology (IoTs) is to produce workplace-ready graduates who have the technical and practical skills to solve real world problems. Consequentially, the practical element of a module is a powerful ... -
Adding value to under-utilised fish roe in Ireland: a comparison of physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of salted air-dried roe from Irish pollock (Pollachius pollachius) with commercial mullet and cod roe products (Mugil cephalus and Gadus morhua).
(2019)In Ireland, fish roe is generally either discarded at sea or processed as low-value fishmeal. The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility of developing a fish roe product to add value to this currently underutilised ... -
Tunable memristor emulator using off-the-shelf components.
(Elsevier, 2020)Emerging memristor technology is as of late drawing broad consideration due to its potential for several applications. But, the non-availability of solid-state memristive devices puts a practical limitation. So, this paper ... -
Shallow and deep learning approaches for network intrusion alert prediction.
(Elsevier, 2020)The ever-increasing frequency and intensity of intrusion attacks on computer networks worldwide has necessitated intense research efforts towards the design of attack detection and prediction mechanisms. While there are a ... -
