DECIPHERING THE EFFECT OF CURRICULA ON THE PERCEPTION OF THIRD LEVEL ENGINEERING - A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
(2012)Recent PISA surveys have shown that Ireland’s relative ranking in Mathematics has fallen sharply, while Finland maintains its posit ion at the top of the international table. Simultaneously, ... -
ENGAGEMENT WITH SECOND LEVEL - DOES IT WORK?
(2012)Most Western economies are suffering from problems in attracting students to study Science, Engineering and Technology courses at university level. To address this demand shortage, and also with regard to current financial ... -
High dynamic velocity range particle image velocimetry using multiple pulse separation imaging
(2011)The dynamic velocity range of particle image velocimetry (PIV) is determined by the maximum and minimum resolvable particle displacement. Various techniques have extended the dynamic range, however flows with a wide velocity ... -
Nonlinear Frequency Scattering of Broadband Noise in Turbomachinery (AIAA 2010-3805)
(2010)Coherence based source analysis techniques can be used to identify the contribution of broadband noise sources in the exhaust of a gas turbine and hence enable the design of noise reduction devices. However, when the ... -
PREDICTION OF ENGINEERING STUDENT PROGRESSION FROM ENTRANCE DATA
(2012)Most Western economies are suffering from problems in attracting students to study Science, Engineering and T echnology courses at university level. Concurrently, engineering programmes te nd to have higher dropout ... -
Quantification of Subsurface Damage in a Brittle Insulating Ceramic by Three-Dimensional Focused Ion Beam Tomography
(2011)In this study, we present a fully automated method to investigate and reconstruct the three-dimensional crack structure beneath an indent in a highly insulating material. This work concentrates on issues arising from a ... -
Technique to Analyze Characteristics of Turbomachinery Broadband Noise Sources (AIAA 2010-3979)
(2010)In this paper an experimental technique for the decomposition of broadband ducted sound fields into their mode constituents is applied to two laboratory scale experimental setups. The broadband mode analysis technique ... -
Very large fMRI study using the IMAGEN database: sensitivity - specificity and population effect modelling in relation to the underlying anatomy
(2012)In this paper we investigate the use of classical fMRI Random Effect (RFX) group statistics when analysing a very large cohort and the possible improvement brought from anatomical information. Using 1326 subjects from the ...
