Characterisation of Macro-porous Silicon for Electronic Applications
(SPIE, 2003)Micro-Raman spectroscopy was used in this study for the analysis of the influence of process conditions on the strain and stress in macro-porous layers. As expected, it was found that oxidation results in significant wafer ... -
Design and manufacture of surface acoustic wave sensors for real-time weigh-in-motion.
(IEEE, 2005)This paper presents the design and manufacture of surface acoustic wave (SAW) strain sensors which can be produced in a university environment. These sensors can be interrogated wirelessly and operated without a power ... -
The effect of pore size on permeability and cell attachment in collagen scaffolds for tissue engineering.
(IOS Press, 2007)The permeability of scaffolds and other three-dimensional constructs used for tissue engineering applications is important as it controls the diffusion of nutrients in and waste out of the scaffold as well as influencing ... -
An examination of the public transport information requirements of users
(IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, 2007)This paper focuses on the provision of public transport information in Dublin, Ireland. It examines both existing and potential methods of accessing information, with particular focus on the implementation of various ... -
Investigation of correlation between characteristics of Raman spectra and parameters of data-scattering obtained from phase coherence theory
(SPIE, 2005)The importance of sensitive monitoring of changes in Raman spectra in particular for microelectronic applications is discussed here. We explore the practicality of using a data-scattering method to analyse Raman spectra, ... -
Measuring network reliability by considering paradoxes
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)Traditionally, game theoretic approaches to measuring transport network reliability have relied on the outcome of a game played between network users seeking to minimize their travel costs and an OD-specific demon that ... -
Measuring network reliability considering paradoxes: multiple network demon approach
(Transportation Research Board, 2009)Traditionally, game theoretic approaches to measuring transport network reliability have relied on the outcome of a game played between network users seeking to minimize their travel costs and an OD-specific demon that ... -
Mechanics applied to skeletal ontogeny and phylogeny
(Springer, 2002)The musculo-skeletal system serves the mechanical function of creating motion and transmitting loads. It is made up mainly of four components: bone, cartilage, muscle and fibrous connective tissue. These have evolved over ... -
Mixed stochastic user equilibrium behavior under traveler information provision services with heterogeneous multiclass multicriteria decision making
(Taylor and Francis, 2009)This paper studies travellers? mixed stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) behaviour under traveller information provision services with heterogeneous multi-class multi-criteria decision making. A multi-class, multi-criteria ... -
Modelling damage growth and failure in elastic materials with random defect distributions
(Royal Irish Academy, 2004)Failure in materials under cyclic loading occurs by the growth and propagation of cracks. If they are sufficiently numerous, the cracks can be considered to be continuously distributed in the material. In this paper, a ... -
Nonlinear response of permanent dipoles in a uniaxial potential to alternating fields
(American Physical Society, 2005)It is shown how the existing theory of the dynamic Kerr effect and nonlinear dielectric relaxation based on the noninertial Brownian rotation of noninteracting rigid dipolar particles may be generalized to take into account ... -
The provision of on street passenger information via real time passenger information; a case study of Dublin
(IEE,, 2004)In June 2001 Dublin Bus introduced a real time passenger information (RTPI) system on the first of its eleven quality bus corridors (QBC), on the Lucan QBC. The introduction is part of a three-year pilot programme called ... -
A spectrum of colors: investigating the temporal frequency characteristics of the human visual system using a system identification approach
(IEEE, 2006)Noise input signals are commonly used in both linear and nonlinear system identification of physiological systems. This method can be applied to electrophysiological analysis of the human visual system by controlling the ... -
A stated preference analysis of real-time public transit stop information
(2009)This paper presents the results of a study conducted to examine the benefits derived from real-time public transit stop information. This research examines the preferences between several options of receiving real-time ... -
Time-dependent road network design frameworks with land use consideration: policy implications
(2008)In the past, transport network design focused on the effect of designs on the transport system alone but not on the land use system, and ignored the land use-transport interaction over time. This may result in obtaining ... -
Two kinds of the smectic-C subphases in a liquid crystal and their relative stability dependent on the enantiomeric excess as elucidated by the electric field induced birefringence experiment
(The American Physical Society, 2005)The electric-field-induced birefringence has been investigated by using a photoelastic modulator, with a view to obtaining a molecular model for the subphases produced by the frustration between ferroelectricity and ... -
UMBRELLA.net: exploring coincidence ad-hoc networks
(2004)UMBRELLA.net is an experimental platform for developing ad-hoc networks based around coincidence or chance occurrences. The project utilizes the haphazard and unpredictable patterns of weather and crowd formation as ... -
Urban freight in Dublin city centre: survey analysis and strategy evaluation
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005)Findings are presented from a study evaluating sustainable freight distribution in the city center of Dublin, Ireland, particularly focusing on urban distribution centers (UDCs) and managing the last mile of deliveries. A ...
