Deep neural network and data augmentation methodology for off-axis iris segmentation in wearable headsets
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)A data augmentation methodology is presented and applied to generate a large dataset of off-axis iris regions and train a low-complexity deep neural network. Although of low complexity the resulting network achieves a high ... -
Deep reinforcement learning for home energy management system control
(Elsevier, 2021-12-26)The use of machine learning techniques has been proven to be a viable solution for smart home energy management. These techniques autonomously control heating and domestic hot water systems, which are the most relevant ... -
Defect evaluation of the honeycomb structures formed during the drilling process
(SAGE Publications, 2019-07-02)In this paper, a comprehensive experimental investigation was carried out to precisely characterize the delamination and uncut fiber in the drilling process. A digital imaging procedure was developed in order to calculate ... -
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon emissions reduction in non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations
(University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)Research on the components and characteristics of long-term energy policy and strategies in large organisations is limited. Non-energy intensive multinationals do not face the environmental regulations required by their ... -
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon Emissions reduction Targets via energy MANAGEMENT in non-energy intensive multi-site manufacturing organisations
(Elsevier, 2018-03-14)Research on the characteristics of long-term energy policy and associated strategies in multisite manufacturing organisations is limited. Non-energy intensive multinationals do not face the environmental regulations ... -
Deformation mechanisms of selective laser melted 316L austenitic stainless steel in high temperature low cycle fatigue
(Elsevier, 2022-04-22)To investigate the low cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of SLM (Selective laser melting) 316L at 550 °C high temperature, a series of LCF tests at different strain amplitudes is conducted on SLM 316L and traditional 316L. ... -
Demand side detailed models

Denitrification of a nitrate-rich wastewater using various wood-based media materials
(2006)This laboratory study examined the use of various wood materials as a carbon source in horizontal flow filters to denitrify nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) from a synthetic wastewater. The filter materials were: sawdust ( Pinus ... -
Densified wood dowel reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain: a pilot study
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-06-07)An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise densified wood dowels as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. While timber has a high strength-to-weight ... -
Design and implementation of a performance assessment methodology cognisant of data accuracy for Irish wastewater treatment plants
(Elsevier, 2017-07-12)Without intervention, wastewater treatment plants will become more resource intensive as they strive to meet environmental regulations. This challenge is set against the backdrop, in many countries, of an emphasis on cost ... -
