Driven cast-in-situ pile capacity: insights from dynamic and static load testing
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-02-11)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as large displacement piles. However, the use of an oversized driving shoe introduces additional complexities influencing shaft resistance mobilisation, over and above those ... -
Driven cast-in-situ piles in granular soil: applicability of CPT methods for pile capacity
(CBT'14, 2014)Most CPT-based design methods for driven piles are heavily influenced by research on preformed driven piles. In this paper, a critical review is made of the ability of these methods to predict the total capacity of driven ... -
A dual image processing pipeline camera with CE applications
(2011)The implementation of a dual image processing pipeline camera on a state-of-art FPGA system is described. This camera can simultaneously acquire dual images of a scene and process, analyze and merge both images to enable ... -
Dual-phase cohesive zone modelling and experimental validation for hydrogen-assisted cracking of 2205 duplex stainless steel
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)The hydrogen-assisted cracking (HAC) behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel is investigated via experimental testing and computational modelling, with specific focus on developing a predictive methodology for the coupled ... -
Dynamics and function of intracellular carbohydrate in activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal
(Elsevier, 2010)Recovery of biodegradable plastics from activated sludge is a promising sustainable technology. In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) ¿ a biodegradable plastics material - was produced by activated sludge performing ... -
Early-stage dielectric characterisation of renal cell carcinoma for positive surgical margin detection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)Partial nephrectomy is preferred to total nephrectomy tor clinically localised renal cell carcinoma. In order to minimise the risk of local tumour recurrence after partial nephrectomy, ideally, the surgical margins of the ... -
Economic analysis of pig manure treatment options in Ireland.
(2012)An economic analysis was performed on treatment options for pig manure in Ireland. Costs were based on a 500 sow integrated pig farm producing 10,500 m3 of manure per year at 4.8 % dry matter. The anaerobic digestion of ... -
Economic analysis of short-rotation forests for energy in Ireland

Edge-AI: Rise of the neural accelerators
(EMAI 2019 Emerging Memory and Artificial Intelligence Workshop, 2019-08-29)We are at the cusp of a new era in AI. Recently deep learning has revolutionised the field of Computer Vision, disrupting more traditional algorithmic approaches to object recognition, scene analysis and image understanding. ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(2012)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(Elsevier, 2012-05-18)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
Effect of eddy length scale on mechanical loading of blood cells in turbulent flow
(2009)Non-physiological turbulent blood flow is known to occur in and near implanted cardiovascular devices, but its effects on blood are poorly understood. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of turbulent ... -
Effect of fast pyrolysis conditions on biomass solid residues at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2015-12-03)Fast pyrolysis of wood and straw was conducted in a drop tube furnace (DTF) and compared with corresponding data from a wire mesh reactor (WMR) to study the influence of temperature (1000–1400)°C, biomass origin (pinewood, ... -
