Numerical study of FRP reinforced timber members subjected to variable climates
(SHATiS International Conference on Structural Health Assessment of Timber Structures, 2019-09-25)The use of FRP reinforcement, even in small percentages, has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber members. This technology has been successfully used in new construction and in the repair and ... -
The mechano-sorptive creep behaviour of basalt FRP reinforced timber elements in a variable climate
(Elsevier, 2019-09-25)The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been shown to improve the short-term flexural behaviour of timber elements. This is particularly important when reinforced elements are subjected to a variable ... -
Fake data - the future of advanced computer vision systems
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-22)Recent research shows that Data Augmentation techniques and Synthetic Data can improve the accuracy and reduce the susceptibility of Deep Neural Networks to Adversarial Attacks. In this presentation we consider some of the ... -
Primary cilia expression in bone marrow in response to mechanical stimulation in explant bioreactor culture
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2016-07-19)Bone marrow contains a multitude of mechanically sensitive cells that may participate in mechanotransduction. Primary cilia are sensory organelles expressed on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteocytes, and ... -
Does making method of alginate hydrogel influence the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells?
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)To overcome cartilage injury, strategies have been developed in the last few years based on tissue engineering to rebuild the defects. Cartilage engineering is principally based on three main biological factors: cells ... -
Chondrogenic induction of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from Wharton's jelly embedded in alginate hydrogel and without added growth factor: an alternative stem cell source for cartilage tissue engineering
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-30)Background: Due to their intrinsic properties, stem cells are promising tools for new developments in tissue engineering and particularly for cartilage tissue regeneration. Although mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from bone ... -
Mechanical stimulations on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells enhance cells differentiation in a three-dimensional layered scaffold
(Wiley, 2017-05-09)Scaffolds laden with stem cells are a promising approach for articular cartilage repair. Investigations have shown that implantation of artificial matrices, growth factors or chondrocytes can stimulate cartilage formation, ... -
A living thick nanofibrous implant bifunctionalized with active growth factor and stem cells for bone regeneration
(Dove Medical Press, 2015-02-04)New-generation implants focus on robust, durable, and rapid tissue regeneration to shorten recovery times and decrease risks of postoperative complications for patients. Herein, we describe a new-generation thick nanofibrous ... -
Privacy challenges for smart-cities: The challenge of IoT camera uberveilance
(IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things, 2019-04-15)The challenges of handling personal privacy are examined in the context of a smart-city environment with every-present surveillance. The current state of digital camera technology is reviewed and two over-arching approaches ... -
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. ... -
Deep learning for consumer devices and services 2-AI gets embedded at the edge
(IEEE, 2019-09-02)The recent explosive growth of deep learning is enabling a new generation of intelligent consumer devices. Specialized deep learning inference now provides data analysis capabilities that once required an active cloud ... -
