This paper presents the results of ongoing research on the mechanical performance of a 20mm binder course asphalt pavement mix incorporating recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). A series of binder course mixes were designed ...
This paper presents the physical properties of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and its influence on the mechanical performance of a binder course asphalt pavement mix. A series of binder course mixes were designed containing ...
Na/Al2O3 catalysts are tested in the soot oxidation reaction using O-2 and NO/O-2 as oxidising agents. The activity of the catalysts . varies with oxidising agent and the presence of surface SO42-.. NO(g) increases conversion ...
A road develops permanent deformation and fatigue damage because of the strains induced in its
structure by surface loading and environmental change. A mechanistic-empirical approach is
implemented here to simulate the ...
This paper reports results from a numerical model to calculate subgrade settlement
in railway tracks due to repeated dynamic loading. The trains are modelled as rigid
body 2-axle carriages on two layers of springs. The ...
Accumulation of PrP(Sc), an insoluble and protease-resistant pathogenic isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)), is a hallmark in prion diseases. Branched polyamines, including PPI (poly(propylene imine)) dendrimers, ...
Prion diseases are characterized by the accumulation of PrP(Sc), an aberrantly folded isoform of the host protein PrP(C). Specific forms of synthetic molecules known as dendrimers are able to eliminate protease-resistant ...
This study explores influences on flood frequency distributions in Irish rivers. Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) type I distributions are recommended in Ireland for estimating flood quantiles. This paper presents the ...
This is a study of some of the economic and demographic determinants of the decline in employment among farmer and farmers' relatives between 1951 and 1961 in the Republic of Ireland. Net migration and employment decline ...
This paper provides new evidence on the wage gap between informal and formal salary workers
in South Africa, Brazil and Mexico. We use rich datasets that allow us to define informality in a
relatively comparable fashion ...
This paper provides new evidence on the wage gap between informal and formal salary workers
in South Africa, Brazil and Mexico. We use rich datasets that allow us to de fine informality in a
relatively comparable fashion ...
This paper examines the capital structure of 117 new technology-based firms in the Irish software sector. In apparent contradiction to the pecking order hypothesis (POH), most external finance is private equity, and debt ...
A three-tiered, enterprise, GIS architecture offers a robust, efficient, and secure platform to potentially revolutionize disaster management by enabling support of all of the phases of governmental activity that must occur ...
We present an analytical model of the dynamics of spatial harmonics of holographic grating profiles, taking into consideration record mechanisms (polymerization and components diffusion), absorption, interference pattern ...
The spectrum of atmospheric motions is vast, encompassing phenomena having periods ranging
from seconds to millennia. The motions of interest to the forecaster typically have time-scales of a day or longer, but the ...

There are a surprising number of initiatives taking place in Europe which encourage older people to use ICT and in this way promote e-learning.
Training is vital for the successful uptake of ICTs and the future of e-learning ...
