Observations on the shortest independent loop set algorithm
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-07-31)The shortest independent loop set (SILS) algorithm is a widely adopted loop selection method in eigenvalue elasticity analysis to identify dominant loops. However, we find that, in an individual-based model, the SILS cannot ... -
Observed installation effects of vibro-replacement stone columns in soft clay
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2008-09-03)The installation of vibro replacement stone columns in any soil causes significant changes to the stress regime around each probe location. In soft clays, the principal effects are caused by a cavity expansion mechanism ... -
On color texture normalization for active appearance models
(IEEE, 2009-05-12)The extension of the standard grayscale active appearance model (AAM) techniques to color images is investigated. Prior work in this field has mainly focused on RGB color models which did not demonstrate noticeable benefits ... -
On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks
(2008)Over a decade ago, Friedman et al. introduced the Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN) classifier, with experiments indicating that it significantly outperformed Naïve Bayes (NB) in terms of classification ... -
On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks
(Elsevier, 2009)Over a decade ago, Friedman et al. introduced the Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN) classifier, with experiments indicating that it significantly outperformed Naïve Bayes (NB) in terms of classification accuracy, ... -
On the corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel in molten solar salt: experiments and modelling
(Elsevier, 2022-09-16)The mechanical behaviors of 304 and 316 L steels was investigated in air and in solar salt with different contents of chloride impurity under slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests using a novel experimental approach at 565 ... -
On the role of the actin cytoskeleton and nucleus in the biomechanical response of spread cells
(Elsevier, 2014-02-11)Micropipette aspiration (MA) has been used extensively in biomechanical investigations of un-adhered cells suspended in media. In the current study, a custom MA system is developed to aspirate substrate adhered spread ... -
On the role of thermal imaging in automotive applications: A critical review
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-03-09)For decades, the number of automobiles in urban areas around the world has been increasing. It causes serious challenges such as traffic congestion, accidents, and pollution, which have a social, economic, and environmental ... -
On thin-clients and the cloud; can smartphones and tablets really reduce electricity consumption?
(2014)Cloud computing suggests that we can move many computational and data storage services from the desktop onto the network. New thin clients provide an excellent user interface for cloud services and also reduce both ... -
On-farm treatment of dairy soiled water using aerobic woodchip filters
(Elsevier, 2011)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is produced on dairy farms through the washing-down of milking parlours and holding areas, and is generally applied to land. However, there is a risk of nutrient loss to surface and ground waters ... -
One way of representing the size and shape of biomass particles in combustion modeling
(Elsevier, 2017-06-29)This study aims to provide a geometrical description of biomass particles that can be used in combustion models. The particle size of wood and herbaceous biomass was compared using light microscope, 2D dynamic imaging, ... -
One-Class Support Vector Machine Calibration Using Particle Swarm Optimisation
(2007)Abstract. Population-based search methods such as evolutionary algorithms, shuffled complex algorithms, simulated annealing and ant colony search are increasingly used as automatic calibration methods ... -
Online influence and sentiment of fitness tweets: Analysis of two million fitness tweets
(JMIR Publications, 2017)Objective: The goal of this experimental approach using the fitness Twitter dataset is two-fold: (1) to determine if there is a correlation between the type of activity tweet (either workout or workout+, which contains the ... -

Operational coefficient of consolidation around a pile group driven in clay/silt
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)Although finite element packages facilitating coupled consolidation analyses are increasingly in use, many practitioners still favour linear uncoupled analysis out of familiarity with the use of coefficients of consolidation. ... -
Operational fatigue loading on tidal turbine blades using computational fluid dynamics
(Elsevier, 2020-01-20)As the world moves to a greater reliance on renewable energy, a vital component will be the predictability and dependability of the energy source; tidal energy provides such a solution. Horizontal axis tidal turbines are ... -
Operations strategy development and implementation: a self assessment matrix
(Irish Manufacturing Committee, 1996)In both the increasingly competitve and the continuously changing business environment existing today, increasing pressure is placed on companies to maintain and improve their profitability. Managment teams are becoming ... -
An optimal day-ahead load scheduling approach based on the flexibility of aggregate demands
(Elsevier, 2017-04-26)The increasing trends of energy demand and renewable integration call for new and advanced approaches to energy management and energy balancing in power networks. Utilities and network system operators require more assistance ... -
Optimal design and operation of small-scale wastewater treatment plants: The Irish case: EPA Research Report 255
