Practical Experience with Woody Biomass in a Down-Draft Gasifier

Wolff, Deidre ; Walsh, Eilín ; McDonnell, Kevin (Lifescience Global, 2013-02)

Gasification is the cleanest method of obtaining energy from fossil fuels, but with increasing awareness of depleting fossil fuel reserves attention has shifted towards renewable sources of energy. Any carbonaceous material ...
A preliminary investigation on face recognition as a biometric identifier of sheep

Corkery, Gerard ; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula A. ; Butler, Francis ; McDonnell, Kevin ; Ward, Shane (The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2007)

The suitability of face recognition was investigated as a biometric-based identifier for sheep using a holistic analysis of face images by the independent components technique. Algorithm training was performed independently ...
Regional integration of renewable energy systems in Ireland - The role of hybrid energy systems for small communities

Goodbody, Craig ; Walsh, Eilín ; McDonnell, Kevin ; Owende, Philip (Elsevier, 2013-01)

Due to a lack of indigenous fossil energy resources, Ireland's energy supply constantly teeters on the brink of political, geopolitical, and geographical unease. The potential risk to the security of the energy supply ...
SE—Structures and Environment: Biofiltration of Odour and Ammonia from a Pig Unit—Biofiltration of Odour and Ammonia from a Pig Unit—a pilot-scale Study

Sheridan, B. A. ; Curran, Thomas P. ; Dodd, V. A. ; Colligan, J. (Elsevier, 2000-08)

A pilot-scale biofiltration unit was constructed at a pig finishing building on the University College Dublin research farm. The biofiltration system was investigated over three trial periods. Exhaust air from a single pen ...
Thermal response testing of compromised borehole heat exchangers

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Oxford University Press, 2012-03-19)

The results of five thermal response tests (TRTs) are presented. Three of the tests were carried out consecutively on the same borehole to illustrate the importance of allowing artificially imposed thermal gradients to ...
