Internet connectivity solutions for digital photography
(IEEE, 2000)The exposure of consumers to the Internet is opening up broad new markets for data-centric services and products. One of these new markets is that of digital photography. A key to growing this emerging ... -
Internet Enabled Digital Photography
(IEEE, 1999)The principles and concepts of Internet Enabled Digital Photography are outlined. The design and implementation of an interface appliance to connect digital cameras to the Internet is described. In ... -
The Internet of Things: why now, and what's next?
(IEEE, 2016-01)The technology to connect "things" to the Internet has existed for more than 20 years, so if we take a look back at recent history, we might well be tempted to ask the question "Why now" In this article, I address that ... -
Interpretation of pipe-jacking and lubrication records for drives in silty soil
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)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. ... -
Introducing the IEEE Biometrics Compendium: Insight into the current issue.
(IEEE, 2014-01)IEEE biometrics compendium is the first IEEE virtual journal, which is a collection of previously published IEEE papers in specific scientific and technical disciplines paired with value-added commentary from technology ... -
An introduction to system dynamics
(Cham: Springer, 2016-06-15)This chapter presents the important concepts underlying the system dynamics modeling method. Following an initial definition of the term model, a summary of a successful system dynamics intervention is described. The key ... -
Investigating human bone microarchitecture and dielectric properties in microwave frequency range
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)Dielectric properties of bones are proposed to monitor bone quality. However, no study has investigated the relationship between bone dielectric properties and microarchitecture of bone, which is of paramount importance ... -
Investigating the suitability of synthetic envelopes as an alternative or complement to stone aggregate in clay-textured soils in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2022-12-21)In Ireland, agricultural landscapes dominated by high rainfall and poorly drained soils have high densities of in-field pipe drains surrounded by stone aggregate envelopes. Unlike other countries, there is limited availability ... -
An investigation into the growth of lolium perenne L. and soil properties following soil amendment with phosphorus-saturated bauxite residue
(Springer, 2022-04-07)Industrial by-products, such as bauxite residue, may be used to treat phosphorus (P)-enriched water and wastewater. Once fully saturated, they may be reused as P fertilisers. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness ... -
Investigation of histology radius for dielectric characterisation of heterogeneous materials
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-07-13)Knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is fundamental in the design of novel electromagnetic-based medical devices. Tissue dielectric properties are typically measured using the open-ended coaxial ... -
Investigation of histology region in dielectric measurements of heterogeneous tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-08-17)The dielectric properties of tissues are the key parameters in electromagnetic medical technologies. Despite the apparent simplicity of the dielectric measurement process, reported data have been inconsistent for heterogeneous ... -
An investigation of the inelastic behaviour of trabecular bone during the press-fit implantation of a tibial component in total knee arthroplasty
(Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine by Elsevier Ltd., 2013)The stress distribution and plastic deformation of peri-prosthetic trabecular bone during press-fit tibial component implantation in total knee arthroplasty is investigated using experimental and finite element techniques. ... -
Investigation of the mechanical interaction of the trabecular core with an external shell using rapid prototype and finite element models
(Elsevier, 2009-04-05)The mechanical properties of vertebral bone have been widely studied with the ultimate goal of improving fracture risk prediction. However, the mechanical interaction between the cortical shell and the trabecular core is ... -
Investigation of the optimal timing for chondrogenic priming of MSCs to enhance osteogenic differentiation in vitro as a bone tissue engineering strategy
(Wiley, 2013-08-07)Recent in vitro tissue engineering approaches have shown that chondrogenic priming of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can have a positive effect on osteogenesis in vivo. However, whether chondrogenic ... -
Investigation of the seismic performance of braced frames through both testing and analysis
(2008)The results of shake table tests on three concentrically-braced sub-frames are compared with a series of correlative inelastic analyses. Both transient time-history and nonlinear static (pushover) analyses are considered. ... -
An investigation of the variation of dielectric properties of ovine lung tissue with temperature
(IOP Publishing, 2019-06-24)Presently, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Microwave thermal ablation is commonly used for the treatment of lung cancer. During microwave ablation treatment, changing temperatures (up to 100 °C) cause ... -
