The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterize the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As such, accurate knowledge of these properties is vital to the design and development of ...

This paper presents aspects of a research investigation into nutrient fluxes into and out of an important Irish estuary, Wexford Harbour, located in the southeast of Ireland. Details of the methodology applied, the data ...

This paper presents a computational methodology for frictional contact mechanics of the pressure armour layer in flexible risers. This will allow, for the first time, quantification of key fretting variables, such as contact ...

The majority of numerical studies investigating stone column performance have used “wished-in-place” columns (no installation effects) in conjunction with elastoplastic soil models (no viscous effects). In the first part ...

In coastal floodplains, high river flows and high coastal water levels can result in extensive flooding. Twenty-first century climate change is expected to alter these flood mechanisms. In this study, a coastal city of ...

The open-ended coaxial probe is the most common measurement tool used to dielectrically characterize biological tissues. Most healthy and malignant biological tissues are macroscopically heterogeneous, with the exception ...

An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise modified wood as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. In recent years there has been a significant ...

The prediction of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of five species of different spectrum density woods, namely, Populus × euramericana I-214 (Poplar), Fagus sylvatica L. (Beech), Quercus pyrenaica L. (Oak), Paulownia elongata ...

This paper investigates the use of machine learning classification techniques applied to the task of recognising the make and model of vehicles. Although a number of vehicle classification systems already exist, most of ...
