Interaction Design @ IDC Limerick

THE TERM INTERACTION DESIGN (SOMETIMES WRITTEN AS IXD, TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM ID – INDUSTRIAL DESIGN) HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY POPULAR AMONG MEMBERS OF BOTH THE HUMANCOMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI) RESEARCH COMMUNITY AND SECTIONS OF THE INDUSTRIAL AND PRODUCT DESIGN COMMUNITIES IN RECENT YEARS. WHERE DOES THE TERM COME FROM, AND WHAT IT MEAN? WE COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME ATTEMPTING TO ELABORATE A PER...

P-Centres represent the perceptual moments of occurrence of acoustic signals and are an important parameter for duration modelling in speech synthesis applications. While a number of algorithms have been proposed previously to achieve PCentre extraction it is shown in this paper that none yield reliable measures or are robust in implementation. A software only solution is presented which enable...

Field Pea Grain for Beef Cattle

Price will dictate inclusion rates, but increasing availability of this grain legume is resulting in pricing that is competitive with other feeds. In creep feeds, 30 percent to 50 percent field peas appears to be optimum for animal performance. Commercial feed manufacturers are including peas in a number of commercial products for their nutrient density, palatability and competitive price, and ...

Green Production of Anionic Surfactant Obtained from Pea Protein

A pea protein isolate was hydrolyzed by a double enzyme treatment method in order to obtain short peptide sequences used as raw materials to produce lipopeptides-based surfactants. Pea protein hydrolysates were prepared using the combination of Alcalase and Flavourzyme. The influence of the process variables was studied to optimize the proteolytic degradation to high degrees of hydrolysis. The ...
