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 ... -
An investigation of the viscoelastic creep behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of flexural reinforcement on the long-term behaviour of timber beams. Creep tests, utilising statistically matched groups, were performed under Service Class 1 conditions ... -
Iris authentication in handheld devices - considerations for constraint-free acquisition
(IEEE, 2015-05)As a near ideal biometric, iris authentication is widely used and mobile acquisition techniques are known. But iris acquisition on handheld imaging devices, such as smartphones, poses multiple, unique challenges. In this ... -
Iris liveness detection for next generation smartphones
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-07-19)This paper presents a novel liveness detection method that exploits the acquisition workflow for iris biometrics on smartphones using a hybrid visible (RGB)/near infra-red (NIR) sensor. These devices are able to capture ... -
Iris recognition on consumer devices - challenges and progress
(IEEE, 2015-11-11)This article outlines various technical, social and ethical challenges in implementing and widely adopting iris recognition technology on consumer devices such as smartphone or tablets. Acquisition of sufficient quality ... -
