Though the majority of students make a successful transition to higher level education, mass education and strategic marketing universities have seen academic interest in process receive significant attention recent years. In Ireland, following two years focused examination preparation, are considerably underprepared for transition. This qualitative study uses student reflective journals first semester year as an innovative approach examining through lived experience voice. A total 36...

Cross-reality technologies are quickly establishing themselves as commonplace platforms for presenting objects of historical, scientific, artistic, and cultural interest to the public. In this space, augmented reality (AR) is notably successful in delivering heritage applications, including architectural environmental reconstruction, exhibition data management representation, storytelling, curation. Generally, it has been observed that nature information delivery applications created...

To explore how individuals experience and perceive the use of assistive technologies following lower limb loss.Cross-sectional qualitative interview design.Thirty with amputation were recruited from a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation programme (26 males 4 females); comprising above-knee (n=16), below-knee (n=12) bilateral (n=2) amputations. Patients at least 15 months post-rehabilitation, 18 years old spoke English.Semi-structured interviews conducted via telephone or in person. Interview...

Such sounds important diagnostic signs in patients suffering temporomandibular disorder (TMD). In this study, we address problem of source separation TMJ sounds. particular, examine with only one generating “clicks.” Thereafter, consider recorded auditory canals as mixtures clicks...

The objectives of this study were to identify how, when, and where students research; the impact learning environments on research productivity, recommend improved supports facilitate research. An ethnographic approach that entailed following five in final six weeks their program enabled deep level analysis. examined practice undergraduate inside outside library walls found process can be influenced by a number factors including age, experience, work commitments, family, peer, academic,...

The underdetermined blind source separation problem using a filtering approach is addressed. An extension of the FastICA algorithm devised which exploits disparity in kurtoses underlying sources to estimate mixing matrix and thereafter achieves recovery by employing lscr 1-norm algorithm. Besides, we demonstrate how promising can be extract sources. Furthermore, illustrate this scenario particularly appropriate for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds

The analysis of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a challenging problem. This paper describes new approach for detecting TMD. A measure nonlinear dynamics the variations in movement colour markers positioned on subjects' faces was obtained via estimating maximum Lya- punov exponent. Static features such as number outliers and kurtosis have also been evaluated. Support vector machine (SVM) classifier used to distinguish patients with TMD healthy subjects basis values above features....

This article describes a project on library engagement in an Irish university, involving certificate students with intellectual disabilities and librarians. It provides opportunity for this team (named above) to showcase wider audience, the value of inclusive, action research resolving real-life challenges. Contributions paper touch higher education setting as well aims processes. These include getting University approval funding, setup, using focus groups explore barriers use findings...

Multi-component polymer mixtures are ubiquitous in biological self-organization but notoriously difficult to study computationally. Plagued by both slow single molecule relaxation times and equilibration within dense mixtures, molecular dynamics simulations typically infeasible at the spatial scales required stability of mesophase structure. Polymer field theories offer an attractive alternative, analytical calculations only tractable for mean-field nearby perturbations, constraints that...

The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS, such as the GPS and GLONASS constellations) their augmentation systems (WAAS, EGNOS) constitute premium sources of opportunity for passive remote sensing. By 2010, after deployment European Galileo constellation, more than 50 GNSS satellites will be emitting self-calibrating, dual-frequency, rain-immune, L-band spread spectrum signals with long-term availability stability. use reflections (GNSS-R) sea-surface monitoring is a bistatic radar...

Purpose The Irish Research electronic Library (IReL) is a nationally funded research library providing online access to full text articles from 1,000s of peer‐reviewed publications in range disciplines. aim this paper examine the opportunities that have arisen for academic libraries at local level terms how they expose resources and promote initiative. It discusses challenges as enhance, or indeed introduce, value added services their community. examines results an in‐depth national survey,...
