Flexural reinforcement of glue-laminated timber beams using prestressed FRP plates.
(NetComposites Limited, 2009-09-01)Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates have been used successfully to enhance the structural performance of glue-laminated (glulam) timber beams. Unreinforced glulams usually fail in tension in a brittle fashion. The addition ... -
Flipped learning in a civil engineering module: student and instructor experiences
(Irish Learning Technology Association, 2018-08-24)Flipped learning is a form of active learning in which the basic content is assimilated before scheduled classroom sessions, enabling more productive use of classroom time to cultivate problem-solving ability, a key ... -
Fluid dynamics of gas exchange in high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: In vitro investigations in idealized and anatomically realistic airway bifurcation models
(Springer, 2008-11)The objective of this work is to develop understanding of the local fluid dynamic mechanisms that underpin gas exchange in high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). The flow field during HFOV was investigated ... -
Fluid flow in the osteocyte mechanical environment: a fluid-structure interaction approach
(Springer Verlag, 2013-04-09)Osteocytes are believed to be the primary sensor of mechanical stimuli in bone, which orchestrate osteoblasts and osteoclasts to adapt bone structure and composition to meet physiological loading demands. Experimental ... -
A Fluorescently Labeled, Hyperbranched Polymer Synthesized from DE-ATRP for the Detection of DNA Hybridization
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-01)The early detection of oligonucleotide biomarkers of disease, such as microRNAs, has been established as a fundamental factor in cancer diagnosis. As the levels of these small molecules (microRNAs) in blood have recently ... -
Follow flee: A contingent mobility strategy for the spatial prisoner's dilemma
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)This paper presents results from a series of experimental simulations comparing the performances of mobile strategies of agents participating in the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma game. The contingent movement strategies Walk ... -
Formal Calibration methodology for a CFD model of a naturally ventilated room
(2011)This paper describes a systematic methodology for the development of calibrated thermodynamic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for controlled environments in buildings utilising wireless sensor networks. ... -
Formal calibration methodology for CFD model development to support the operation of energy efficient buildings
(Texas A&M University, 2010)Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a robust tool for modelling interactions within and between fluids and solids. CFD can help understand and predict phenomena that are difficult to test experimentally leading ... -
Formal calibration methodology for CFD models of naturally ventilated indoor environments
(Elsevier, 2012-08-31)Well planned natural ventilation strategies and systems in the built environments may provide healthy and comfortable indoor conditions, while contributing to a significant reduction in the energy consumed by buildings. ... -
FPGA based stereo imaging system with applications in computer gaming
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)A real-time stereo imaging system is described. It incorporates dual image acquisition chains on a single FPGA device and is able to provide real-time synchronized video output from twin CMOS imaging sensors. The platform ... -
An FPGA-based stereoscopic camera - electronic design tools and techniques
(IEEE, 2010-08-05)Electronic design tools and techniques for the implementation of a stereoscopic camera based on an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are presented. The stages of an IPP (Image Processing Pipeline) are presented together ... -
A framework for determining unsaturated zone time lags at catchment scale
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-12-10)The responses of waterbodies to agricultural programmes of measures are frequently delayed by hydrological time lags through the unsaturated zone and groundwater. Time lag may therefore, impede the achievement of remediation ... -
A Framework for Digital Wide-Area Survey from Aerial Photographs
(Wordwell Ltd., 1998)Despite the potential offered by modern computer technology to the labour-intensive work of 'Aerial Archaeology', few applications have been published. Where developments have been made, they have tended to be carried out ... -
A framework to support knowledge transfer in the service sector
(2010)This paper introduces a framework for supporting and analysing knowledge transfer in the service sector, which centres on the individual in the process. It argues that the individual is at the centre of the transfer process ... -
Fretting fatigue and wear of spline couplings: From laboratory testing to industrial application through computational modelling
(World Scientific Publishing Europe Limited, 2022-04)One of the major challenges for fretting fatigue design is the bridging of the gap between laboratory tests, including associated theoretical and computer models, typically constrained to simplified loading conditions, ... -
A further analysis of the role of heterogeneity in coevolutionary spatial games
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)Heterogeneity has been studied as one of the most common explanations of the puzzle of cooperation in social dilemmas. A large number of papers have been published discussing the effects of increasing heterogeneity in ... -
