Scale-up of an unsteady flow field for enhanced spatial and temporal resolution of PIV measurements: application to leaflet wake flow in a mechanical heart valve
(Springer, 2011-07)A scale-up approach is developed to enhance effective spatial and temporal resolution of PIV measurements. An analysis shows that complete similarity can be maintained for certain unsteady flows and that all types of error ... -

Sciomyzidae (Diptera) assemblages in constructed and natural wetlands: implications for constructed wetland design.
(Springer, 2023-12-08)Wetlands constructed primarily for the treatment of wastewaters have been shown to have a role in enhancing biodiversity. However, while most biodiversity studies of constructed wetlands focus on the larger, more iconic ... -
A scorecard for supporting enterprise knowledge management
(2003)Enterprise knowledge management is becoming a critical component of competitive success. Managers must ensure that they can successfully generate, leverage and reuse knowledge assets in their organisations. In this view, ... -
Seasonal patterns of metals and nutrients in Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel in a constructed wetland in the west of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2017-07-23)An understanding of the seasonal variation in the standing stock of metals and nutrients in emergent vegetation of constructed wetlands (CWs), as well as the amounts present in aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) biomass, ... -
Secondary comminution of wood pellets in power plant and laboratory-scale mills
(Elsevier, 2017-03-14)This study aims to determine the influence of mill type and pellet wood composition on particle size and shape of milled wood. The size and shape characteristics of pellets comminuted using power plant roller mills were ... -
A secure and efficient micropayment solution for online gaming
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)An innovative micropayment solution is proposed which incorporates both distributed security and social networking features. This has significant potential to impact on both the provision of new services and community ... -

Selective laser sintering of hydroxyapatite/poly-epsilon-caprolactone scaffolds
(2010)Selective laser sintering (SLS) enables the fabrication of complex geometries with the intricate and controllable internal architecture required in the field of tissue engineering. In this study hydroxyapatite and ... -
Semantic community portals
(IGI Global, 2007)Many virtual communities have surfaced and come together on the World Wide Web. Web-based community portals serve as a one-stop place for all information needs serving a group of users that have common interests. As ... -
Semiparallel deep neural network hybrid architecture: first application on depth from monocular camera
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018-08-07)Deep neural networks have been applied to a wide range of problems in recent years. Convolutional neural network is applied to the problem of determining the depth from a single camera image (monocular depth). Eight different ... -
Sensing radius of an open-ended coaxial probe for dielectric measurement of tissues: Calculation with relative permittivity versus conductivity
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-09)The dielectric properties of biological tissues are important parameters used in the design and optimisation of electromagnetic-based medical technologies. Typically, these parameters are measured ex-vivo using the open-ended ... -
Separating Directional Lighting Variability in Statistical Face Modelling Based on Texture Space Decomposition
(IEEE, 2007-07-04)In this paper we propose a simple method for decomposing the linear texture space of a facial appearance model into two linear subspaces, one for inter-individual variability and another for variations caused by directional ... -
Serious Play as a method for process design
(Springer, 2014-09-20)As motivating and including people is a crucial aspect in any plan-ning, design and change process there is always a need for appropriate methods and tools to support this. Lego Serious Play (LSP) is such a method which ... -
Shaft resistance of driven cast-in-situ piles in sand
(NRC Research Press, 2015-06-25)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as a large displacement pile, despite sharing certain aspects of their construction with replacement pile types. However, there are relatively few case histories of load tests ... -
Short basalt fibre reinforced recycled polypropylene filaments for 3D printing
(Elsevier, 2022-08-12)Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing, and specifically Material Extrusion) is a rapid and convenient manufacturing method using raw material in filament form and is a potential candidate process for the use of recycled ... -
The short-term effects of management changes on watertable position and nutrients in shallow groundwater in a harvested peatland forest
(Elsevier, 2014-09-01)Management changes such as drainage, fertilisation, afforestation and harvesting (clearfelling) of forested peatlands influence watertable (WT) position and groundwater concentrations of nutrients. This study investigated ... -
Significance of heterogeneities in accurate dielectric measurements of biological tissues
(Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale (URSI), 2017-08-19)Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is necessary for the design and development of electromagnetic medical technologies; these properties quantify the accuracy and efficacy of system ... -
Simulation of an optional strategy in the prisoner’s dilemma in spatial and non-spatial environments
