Bayesian ANN Classifier for ECG Arrhythmia Diagnostic System: A Comparison Study
(2005)Abstract¿This paper outlines a system for detection of cardiac arrhythmias within ECG signals, based on a Bayesian Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier. The Bayesian (or Probabilistic) ANN Classifier is built by the ... -
Behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder flat slab system using insitu structural health monitoring
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)In recent decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has emerged as an increasingly important tool in Civil Engineering to understand how structures behave during construction and operation. Although SHM is not a new ... -
Behaviour of tubular steel members under cyclic axial loading
(2006)This paper examines the cyclic performance of axially-loaded tubular members used as bracing elements to provide lateral seismic resistance in steel framed structures. An experimental study into the response of members ... -
The benefits of system dynamics simulation for sustainability education
(System Dynamics Society, 2021-07-26)Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is vital to the success of the United Nation¿s Sustainable Development Goals, yet it has so far proved difficult to implement. One reason for this is the systemic understanding ... -
Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
(IEEE, 2016)An ‘edge-based’ image processing architecture for the internet of things (IoT) is devised, drawing on the existing image processing pipelines that are implemented in today’s imaging modules in digital cameras and ... -
Biaxial loading of offshore monopiles: numerical modelling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016-05-18)In this study, finite-element (FE) modeling was used to examine the influence of biaxial lateral loading of a monopile foundation. Two different soil models were adopted to investigate the influence of state-dependent and ... -
Bioaccumulation of metals in ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) following the application of lime stabilised, thermally dried and anaerobically digested sewage sludge.
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-05-09)The uptake and accumulation of metals in plants is a potential pathway for the transfer of environmental contaminants in the food chain, and poses potential health and environmental risks. In light of increased population ... -
A Biomaterial Approach to Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Bridging the Peripheral Nerve Gap and Enhancing Functional Recovery
(The Royal Society, 2011-11)Microsurgical techniques for the treatment of large peripheral nerve injuries (such as the gold standard autograft) and its main clinically approved alternative 'hollow nerve guidance conduits (NGCs)' have a number of ... -
Biometric access control for digital media streams in home networks
(IEEE, 2007)Methods for controlling access to digital media content in the home environment using biometric sensing techniques are described. A wireless rebroadcast system for IP-TV content was retrofitted with a combination of ... -
Biometric technology and smartphones: a consideration of the practicalities of a broad adoption of biometrics and the likely impacts
(IEEE, 2016-04)The Widespread Global Adoption of Smartphones across all demographics and the rapid commoditization of the technology to the point at which an entry-level device can be sold profitably for less than US$100 suggest that we ... -
Biometrically auditable public key infrastructure technology for secure multimedia content
(IEEE, 2005-05-16)A system for signing and tracing the use of digital content based on biometrically generated key-pairs is described. The system is designed to protect the fair use rights of end-users and can be readily incorporated into ... -
Biometrics and Consumer Electronics: A Brave New World or the Road to Dystopia?[Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2013-04)Biometric systems confirm a person's identity by extracting and comparing patterns in their physical characteristics against computer records of those patterns. Examples include scans of the face, iris, or retina; measurements ... -
Biomodels of bone: a review
(Springer, 2005)In this paper, a definition of a biomodel is presented, based on which different specific types of biomodels are identified, viz., virtual biomodels, computational biomodels, and physical biomodels. The paper then focuses ... -
A bioresorbable biomaterial carrier and passive stabilization device to improve heart function post-myocardial infarction
(Elsevier, 2019-05-15)The limited regenerative capacity of the heart after a myocardial infarct results in remodeling processes that can progress to congestive heart failure (CHF). Several strategies including mechanical stabilization of the ... -
Blackpool South Strategy project: analysis of pipe-jacking records
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)In recent years, there has been an increased resort to microtunnelling/pipe-jacking as a means of constructing underground conduits (for water, sewage, gas and other utilities) to avoid on-street disruption in urban areas. ... -
Blockchain in energy efficiency: Potential applications and benefits
