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 ... -
Using ePortfolios to support CPD & advocate our profession
(2021-11-02)This poster highlights how an eportfolio is a useful tool to facilitate librarians' participation in continuing professional development (CPD), including recording evidence of, reflecting on and raising awareness of CPD ... -
Universal Design for Online Library Instruction
(2021-05-26)My motivation for doing the Digital Badge in UDL was to learn how to use the principles and practices of UDL to encourage students to actively engage in using library resources, by embracing and formally embedding UDL into ... -
Study of direct gas injection into stagnation zone of blunt nose at hypersonic flow
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-07-28)Direct gas injection in the shocked or compressed region has importance in many applications from drag control to ignition and pressure gain combustion. This numerical study is focused on direct light gas injection into ... -
Novel mechanism of instability control using tapered spike in hypersonic flow
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-08-02)A forward facing spiked blunt nose in high-speed flows is associated with pulsating flow behavior of varying amplitudes depending on spike-nose and length, the forebody geometry and flow conditions. A tapered spike has ... -
Numerical investigation of detonation propagation through small orifice holes
(Sciendo, 2021)Seeking to better understand the physical phenomena underlying detonation wave propagation through small holes (especially the phenomenon of detonation re-initiation or its failure), we investigated the propagation of a ... -
Enhancing Literacy and Numeracy Training
(2021-08-30)Ireland has always prided itself on having a ‘world class’ education system. However, this was called into question when The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published the results from its ... -
Blue Economy Innovation and Development
(2021-07)The aim of this research is to identify international best practice and the key aspects needed for the development of innovation centres for a peripheral region. The second objective is to outline the sectoral developments ... -
Social Media in Higher Education
(2021)The study explores whether higher education institutes strategic usage of so-cial Media fosters a stronger relationship with students. Almost every higher educational institute uses social Media for numerous reasons. ... -
Motivating exercise through social media
(2021-09)The exponential growth of social media and online fitness classes in the last decade of the twenty first century, has provided a multitude of opportunities for individuals and businesses. The internet has created new ... -
Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels repeated ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-10-27)Studying repeated adaptation can provide insights into the mechanisms allowing species to adapt to novel environments. Here, we investigate repeated evolution driven by habitat specialization in the common bottlenose ... -
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 ... -
Speciation in the deep: genomics and morphology reveal a new species of beaked whale Mesoplodon eueu
(The Royal Society, 2021-10-27)The deep sea has been described as the last major ecological frontier, as much of its biodiversity is yet to be discovered and described. Beaked whales (ziphiids) are among the most visible inhabitants of the deep sea, ... -
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
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)Research on neurological analysis of the human brain shows evidence of multimodal information processing. However, research in the area of human visual attention do not take into consideration the impact of the audio ... -
Development of electrospun PVA nanofibers via freeze-thawing method
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2019)The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are proven to have the benefits of improving water retention ability, cell attachment and controlled drug release in medical device materials for pharmaceutical applications. Due to ... -
