A 100dB SFDR 0.5V pk-pk band-pass DAC implemented on a low voltage CMOS process
(2012)
Mullane, Brendan; O'Brien, Vincent
Abstract:
Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) systems generate fine frequency resolution signals over a broad spectrum that are used in a wide variety of applications such as multi-mode RF, communications, measurements and test. A high performance DDS band-pass Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) architecture and implementation is presented that delivers high spectral purity over a narrow-band response. The low power D/A Converter is portable to standard CMOS processes and designed to achieve over 100dB narrow-band SFDR performance using Sigma-Delta (ΣΔ) modulation and multi-bit current steering techniques. A 3rd order digital ΣΔ modulator is combined with a 4th order digital Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) block to shape the noise while calibrating for process mismatch variations. A low silicon area output stage is used to deliver a high performance specification.

A 2-MS/s, 11.22 ENOB, extended input range SAR ADC with improved DNL and offset calculation
(2018)
Asghar, Sohail; Afridi, Sohaib Saadat; Pillai, Anu; Schuler, Anita; de la Rosa José; O'Connell, Ivan
Abstract:
A 12-bit successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with extended input range is presented. Employing an input sampling scaling technique, the presented ADC can digitize the signals with an input range of 3.2 V pp-d (±1.33 V REF ). The circuit also includes a comparator offset compensation technique that results in a residual offset of less than 0.5 LSB. The chip has been designed and implemented in a 0.13-μm CMOS process and demonstrates the state-of-the-art performance, featuring an SNDR of 69.3 dB and the SFDR of 79 dB without requiring any calibration. Total power consumption of the ADC is 0.9 mW, with a measured differential non-linearity of 1.2/-1.0 LSB and INL of 2.3/-2.2 LSB.

A 3D hand motion capture device with haptic feedback for virtual reality applications
(2018)
Torres-Sanchez, Javier; Tedesco, Salvatore; O'Flynn, Brendan
Abstract:
In this paper, the challenges associated with the design of new generation hand motion capture devices for Virtual Reality (VR) applications are described. The need for developing a hand motion capture device with tactile feedback that integrates all the sensors and actuators associated with VR, while meeting the latency requirements is introduced. A detailed description of functional and non-functional specifications is also given. Finally, a comparison study with commercially available technology is provided highlighting that the proposed device compares favorably not only in terms of functional parameters, such as connectivity, integration of sensors and actuators, and latency, but also in terms of non-functional parameters, e.g., no need to wash, ambidextrous features and modularity.

A bandwidth enhanced 915 MHz antenna for IoT wrist-watch applications
(2019)
Kumar, Sanjeev; Buckley, John; Barton, John; Newberry, Robert; Dunlop, Gary; Rodencal, Matthew; Webster, Carlo; O'Flynn, Brendan
Abstract:
This paper presents a 915 MHz planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) topology for a wrist-worn wireless sensor application. When compared with a conventional PIFA implementation, an impedance bandwidth enhancement of more than 100% is achieved. The bandwidth enhancement is realized with inclusion of a parasitic element that excites an additional mode close to the resonant frequency. A parametric analysis of the key parameters is performed in order to optimize the antenna for 915 MHz operation. The measured results for the on-body prototype antenna show a -10 dB bandwidth of 26.4 MHz and a Peak Realized Gain of -0.57 dBi at 915 MHz. The simulated peak radiation efficiency of 46.8% is achieved. In addition, the design exhibits a low specific absorption rate (SAR) value of 0.004 W/kg.

A Bayesian approach to comparing theoretic models to observational data: A case study from solar flare physics
(2011)
GALLAGHER, PETER THOMAS
Abstract:
Solar flares are large-scale releases of energy in the solar atmosphere, which are characterized by rapid changes in the hydrodynamic properties of plasma from the photosphere to the corona. Solar physicists have typically attempted to understand these complex events using a combination of theoretical models and observational data. From a statistical perspective, there are many challenges associated with making accurate and statistically significant comparisons between theory and observations, due primarily to the large number of free parameters associated with physical models. This class of ill-posed statistical problem is ideally suited to Baysian methods. In this paper, the solar flare studied by Raftery et al. (2008) is reanalysed using a Baysian framework. This enables us to study the evolution of the flare's temperature, emission measure and energy loss in a statistically self-consistent manner. The Baysian-based techniques confirm that both conductive and non-thermal bea...

A bioactive metallurgical grade porous silicon-polytetrafluoroethylene sheet for guided bone regeneration applications
(2014)
Chadwick, Edward G.; Clarkin, O.M.; Raghavendra, Ramesh; Tanner, David A.
Abstract:
The properties of porous silicon make it a promising material for a host of applications including drug delivery, molecular and cell-based biosensing, and tissue engineering. Porous Silicon has previously shown its potential for the controlled release of pharmacological agents and in assisting bone healing. Hydroxyapatite, the principle constituent of bone, allows osteointegration in vivo, due to its chemical and physical similarities to bone. Synthetic hydroxyapatite is currently applied as a surface coating to medical devices and prosthetics, encouraging bone in-growth at their surface & improving osseointegration. This paper examines the potential for the use of an economically produced porous silicon particulate-polytetrafluoroethylene sheet for use as a guided bone regeneration device in periodontal and orthopaedic applications. The particulate sheet is comprised of a series of microparticles in a polytetrafluoroethylene matrix and is shown to produce a stable hydroxyapatit...

A Bridgman Furnace Front Tracking Model
(2015)
Mooney, Robin Patrick
Abstract:
The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research, mainly because it provides a means to directionally solidify materials in a controlled manner, so that the resulting microstructure, and hence material properties, can be manipulated. This thesis details, firstly, the development and verification of a numerical Front Tracking Model (FTM) to track the position of, and growth conditions at, the columnar front during transient directional solidification in a Bridgman furnace; and, secondly, its application to experiments investigating Columnar to Equiaxed Transition (CET) in a gamma TiAl multicomponent hypoperitectic alloy. Previous FTMs have been applied in fixed grid numerical domains where the solidifying material - normally of hypoeutectic composition - is contained within that domain throughout simulations; the model demonstrated here accounts for movement of material through the domain and is adapted for hypoperitectic solidification. The model is applied, firstly, to ...

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of treating skeletal muscle cells with media conditioned by postprandial ex vivo human serum fed with either isonitrogenous Non-Essential Amino Acid (NEAA) or a whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) on stimulating Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) in C2C12 skeletal muscle cells. Methods Blood was taken from six young healthy males following overnight fast (fasted) and 60 min postprandial (fed) ingestion of either WPH or NEAA (0.33 g.kg-1 Body Mass). C2C12 myotubes were treated with media conditioned by ex vivo human serum (20%) for 4 h. Activation of MPS signalling (phosphorylation of mTOR, P70S6K and 4E-BP1) were determined in vitro by Western Blot and subsequent MPS were determined in vitro by Western Blot and surface sensing of translation technique (SUnSET) techniques, respectively. Results Media conditioned by NEAA fed serum had no effect on protein signalling or MPS compared to fasted, whereas media conditioned by WPH fed serum signifi...

A cloud reservation system for big data applications
(2017)
Marinescu, Dan C.; Paya, Ashkan; Morrison, John P.
Abstract:
Emerging Big Data applications increasingly require resources beyond those available from a single server and may be expressed as a complex workflow of many components and dependency relationships-each component potentially requiring its own specific, and perhaps specialized, resources for its execution. Efficiently supporting this type of Big Data application is a challenging resource management problem for existing cloud environments. In response, we propose a two-stage protocol for solving this resource management problem. We exploit spatial locality in the first stage by dynamically forming rack-level coalitions of servers to execute a workflow component. These coalitions only exist for the duration of the execution of their assigned component and are subsequently disbanded, allowing their resources to take part in future coalitions. The second stage creates a package of these coalitions, designed to support all the components in the complete workflow. To minimize the communicat...

Abstract:
TiSiC-Cr coatings, with Cr and Si as additional elements, were deposited on Si, C 45 and 316 L steel substrates via cathodic arc evaporation. Two series of coatings with thicknesses in the range of 3.6–3.9 μm were produced, using either CH4 or C2H2 as carbon containing gas. For each series, different coatings were prepared by varying the carbon rich gas flow rate between 90 and 130 sccm, while maintaining constant cathode currents (110 and 100 A at TiSi and Cr cathodes, respectively), substrate bias (–200 V) and substrate temperature (∼320 °C). The coatings were analyzed for their mechanical characteristics (hardness, adhesion) and tribological performance (friction, wear), along with their elemental and phase composition, chemical bonds, crystalline structure and cross-sectional morphology. The coatings were found to be formed with nano-scale composite structures consisting of carbide crystallites (grain size of 3.1–8.2 nm) and amorphous hydrogenated carbon. The experimental result...

Abstract:
TCD-CS-2005-19
The problem of concept drift has recently received considerable attention in machine learning research. One important practical problem where concept drift needs to be addressed is spam filtering. The literature on concept drift shows that among the most promising approaches are ensembles and a variety of techniques for ensemble construction has been proposed. In this paper we consider an alternative lazy learning approach to concept drift whereby a single case-based classifier for spam filtering keeps itself up-to-date through a case-base maintenance protocol. We present an evaluation that shows that the case-base maintenance approach is more effective than a variety of ensemble techniques. The evaluation is complicated by the overriding importance of False Positives (FPs) in spam filtering. The ensemble approaches can have very good performance on FPs because it is possible to bias an ensemble more strongly away from FPs than it is to bias the single classifer. ...

Abstract:
People generate counterfactual alternatives to realitywhen they think about how things might have happeneddifferently, 'if only?'. There are considerableregularities in the sorts of past events that peoplementally undo, for example, they tend to mentally undothe most recent event in an independent sequence.Consider a game in which two contestants will win#1000 if they both pick cards from the same color suite.The first player picks black and the second red and theylose. Most people spontaneously undo the outcome bythinking, if only the second player had picked black. Wedescribe a computational model that simulates our theoryof the mental representations and cognitive processesunderlying this temporal order effect. The computermodel is corroborated by tests of the novel predictions ofour theory: it should be possible to reverse the temporalorder effect by manipulating the way in which thewinning conditions are described.

A cost-capacity analysis for assessing the efficiency of heterogeneous computing assets in an enterprise cloud

Abstract:
Cloud providers and organizations with a large IT infrastructure manage evolving sets of hardware resources that are subject to continual change. As existing computing assets age, newer, more capable and more efficient ones are generally acquired. Significant variability of hardware components leads to inefficient use of computing assets within the organization. We claim that only a detailed understanding of the whole infrastructure will lead to significant optimizations and savings. In this paper we report results on a dataset of 1,171 assets from two different data centers, on which we present a thorough analysis of how the costs of running a computing asset are related to its resource capacity (i.e., CPU and RAM). This analysis is formalized in a cost model that could be used by organizations to make an optimal decision with regards to which computing assets should migrate their workload (i.e. should be disconnected or discarded) and which ones should receive such workload.

Abstract:
Recent times have seen an increasing move towards harnessing the health-promoting benefits of food and dietary constituents while providing scientific evidence to substantiate their claims. In particular, the potential for bioactive protein hydrolysates and peptides to enhance health in conjunction with conventional pharmaceutical therapy is being investigated. Dairy-derived proteins have been shown to contain bioactive peptide sequences with various purported health benefits, with effects ranging from the digestive system to cardiovascular circulation, the immune system and the central nervous system. Interestingly, the ability of dairy proteins to modulate metabolism and appetite has recently been reported. The ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) is a G-protein coupled receptor which plays a key role in the regulation of food intake. Pharmacological manipulation of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor-type 1a (GHSR-1a) receptor has therefore received a lot of attention as a strategy to...

Abstract:
At a time when technological advances are providing new sensor capabilities, novel network capabilities, long-range communications technologies and data interpreting and delivery formats via the World Wide Web, we never before had such opportunities to sense and analyse the environment around us. However, the challenges exist. While measurement and detection of environmental pollutants can be successful under laboratory-controlled conditions, continuous in-situ monitoring remains one of the most challenging aspects of environmental sensing. This paper describes the development and test of a multi-sensor heterogeneous real-time water monitoring system. A multi-sensor system was deployed in the River Lee, County Cork, Ireland to monitor water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity, turbidity and dissolved oxygen. The R. Lee comprises of a tidal water system that provides an interesting test site to monitor. The multi-sensor system set-up is described and results o...

Abstract:
Despite the potential of innovation-driven healthcare technology services to increase the quality, accessibility and quality of care, the realization and success of such promise has yet to be achieved. This prompted us to explore the barriers towards success for healthcare software companies and examine what frameworks are employed across industry to support their growth in the digital healthcare market. As part of a three-phase study, this article reports on the first phase -to synthesize the literature on the readiness factors for healthcare technology companies. The findings of this research will guide our second phase of this research in surveying industry healthcare software companies. In so doing, we can establish readiness factors for healthcare software companies with a view to offering a more structured and disciplined approach to healthcare innovation.

A double prodrug system for colon targeting of benzenesulfonamide COX-2 inhibitors
(2011)
WINDLE, HENRY; GILMER, JOHN FRANCIS; KELLEHER, DERMOT P; KEOGH, BRIAN; REILLY, MARY
Abstract:
The design, synthesis and delivery potential of a new type of benzenesulfonamide cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor prodrug is investigated using celecoxib. The approach involves a double prodrug that is activated first by azoreductases and then by cyclization triggering drug release. We studied the intramolecular aminolysis of the acylsulfonamide. The cyclization was surprisingly rapid at physiological pH and very fast at pH 5. The prodrug is activated specifically under conditions found in the colon but highly stable in the presence of human and rodent intestinal extracts. Finally, the prototype with celecoxib was transported much more slowly in the Caco-2 transepithelial model than the parent. The design therefore shows significant promise for the site specific delivery of benzenesulfonamide COX-2 inhibitors to the colon.

A fair comparison of VM placement heuristics and a more effective solution
(2014)
Li, Xi; Ventresque, Anthony; Murphy, John; Thorburn, James
Abstract:
Data center optimization, mainly through virtual machine (VM) placement, has received considerable attention in the past years. A lot of heuristics have been proposed to give quick and reasonably good solutions to this problem. However it is difficult to compare them as they use different datasets, while the distribution of resources in the datasets has a big impact on the results. In this paper we propose the first benchmark for VM placement heuristics and we define a novel heuristic. Our benchmark is inspired from a real data center and explores different possible demographics of data centers, which makes it suitable when comparing the behaviour of heuristics. Our new algorithm, RBP, outperforms the state-of-the-art heuristics and provides close to optimal results quickly.

A Front Tracking Model for Transient Solidification of Al-7wt%Si in a Bridgman Furnace
(2012)
MOONEY, ROBIN
Abstract:
The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research. This paper outlines a working onedimensional model for tracking the columnar solidification front in a Bridgman furnace where the pulling velocity, and hence front position, change as a function of time. The front tracking model is applied to a fixed grid of control volumes using an explicit numerical finite difference scheme to solve the heat equation over a finite domain. The model is demonstrated by way of a notional scenario, namely, Bridgman furnace solidification of a 16-mm diameter rod of Al?7wt%Si. The results show how the evolution of temperature distribution, thermal history, and front position are affected by a step change in pulling velocity.

Abstract:
A functional sperm membrane is essential for many of the processes which lead to the fertilisation of an oocyte, but this membrane is susceptible to oxidative damage with increasing duration of storage in liquid semen or during the cryopreservation process. The objectives of this thesis were to examine the effects of storage temperature, catalase supplementation and sperm number on the membrane function of liquid stored bull semen, sperm membrane protein profile on the membrane integrity of liquid stored boar semen and stabilisation of the stallion sperm membrane using cholesterol, prior to cryopreservation, on the membrane function of frozen-thawed stallion semen. Sperm progressive motility was assessed by microscopy, glucose consumption and total antioxidant capacity were assessed using commercial kits, and viability, oxidative stress, mitochondrial activity, acrosomal status and membrane fluidity were assessed by flow cytometry.

Abstract:

The area of computer-augmented sports is large and complex and spans several disciplines. This chapter presents a general-purpose taxonomy of computer-augmented sports systems, which is intended to assist researchers and designers working in this domain. Allowing systems to be classified with regard to form as well as function, the taxonomy is intended to have several uses, including serving as a clear map to aid in the understanding of the domain and as a tool to help researchers analyse the state-of-the-art by characteristics of systems. The taxonomy also offers a common vocabulary to the multidisciplinary teams that work in computer-augmented sports and can be used to identify sparsely populated regions of the domain as promising areas for future research. The authors present and demonstrate the use of the taxonomy using four example systems selected from an extensive review.

A global teaming model for global software development governance: a case study
(2016)

Abstract:
Global software development (GSD) is increasingly the norm. As firms expand into new markets overseas, acquire companies in different countries, and recruit talented developers in new locations, projects become distributed by necessity. As projects become increasingly distributed, and include external participants such as outsourcing vendors, conventional top-down management oversight and control becomes more difficult. How can organizations ensure that the activities of all parties involved are aligned with the strategic objectives and values of a software development undertaking? The Global Teaming Model is a framework that specifies practices and recommendations for Global Software Development. As such, it serves as a means to organize GSD practices relevant to Software Development Governance. We conducted a case study of a small team engaged in Global Software Development, identifying governance shortcomings. Then, we used the Global Teaming Model to identify governance practice...

Abstract:
Objective. To quantify latency, amplitude and topographical differences in event-related potential (ERP) components between multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and controls and to compare ERP findings with results from the paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT). Methods. Fifty-four subjects (17 relapsing remitting (RRMS) patients, 16 secondary progressive (SPMS) patients, and 21 controls) completed visual and auditory oddball tasks while data were recorded from 134 EEG channels. Latency and amplitude differences, calculated using composite mean amplitude measures, were tested using an ANOVA. Topographical differences were tested using statistical parametric mapping (SPM). Results. In the visual modality, P2, P3 amplitudes and N2 latency were significantly different across groups. In the auditory modality, P2, N2, and P3 latencies and N1 amplitude were significantly different across groups. There were no significant differences between RRMS and SPMS patients on any ERP component. T...
