Water analytics and management with real-time linked dataspaces
(Springer, 2017)Due to predictions of water scarcity in the future, governments and public administrations are increasingly looking for innovative solutions to improve water governance and conservation. The problem is exasperated due ... -
Water consumption data
(NUI Galway, 2017-08-16)7.5 minute water usage data obtained over a 6 month trial period for two Waternomics pilot sites. Relates to paper under review at the AGU Journal of Water Resources Research titled: Flow signature analysis of water ... -
Waternomics: A cross-site data collection to support the development of a water information platform
(Elsevier, 2015-09-01)In Europe, 20 to 40% of water is being wasted due to poor infrastructure, consumer negligence and lack of proper resource management. Effective and efficient management of water resources requires a holistic approach ... -
The wave excitation forces on a truncated vertical cylinder in water of infinite depth
(2013)When carrying out any numerical modelling it is useful to have an analytical approximation available to provide a check on the accuracy of the numerical results and to give insight into the underlying physics of the system. ... -
The WCC Heuristic Evaluation Set - A Methodology for Evaluating the Usability of Web Communication and Collaboration (WCC) Groupware in Teaching and Learning.
(EdTech, 2007)A growing number of workplaces and educational environments are implementing virtual teams (VTs) or intend to in the future, and it is likely that most information workers will become part of a virtual team at some stage ... -
A web enabled solution for managing distributed product innovation
(2000)New organisational forms such as strategic partnerships and networks are replacing simple market based transactions and traditional bureaucratic, hierarchical organisations. Consequently, a new conception of product design ... -
Web geometry optimisation of novel latticed LVL-webbed timber I-joists
(Elsevier, 2022-12-02)This paper presents the finite element analysis of novel composite timber I-joists with curved latticed webs. The flanges of the joists were made from Norway Spruce whilst the curved latticed webs were made from laminated ... -
Welding-induced yield strength heterogeneity in X100Q: Modelling and characterisation
(Elsevier, 2021-09-14)Yield strength (YS) heterogeneity in X100Q high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel welded joints is a key factor which influences fatigue life performance. The effects of welding-induced microstructural changes are investigated ... -
What if digital cameras didn't need (local) storage?: directing photos to the cloud
(IEEE, 2012)Cloud computing suggests that we can move computers from the desktop onto the network. In this article, we investigate whether we can do the same with digital imaging devices. After all, for most of us, the practical ... -
When and why metaheuristics researchers can ignore “No Free Lunch” theorems
(Springer, 2019-03-25)The No Free Lunch (NFL) theorem for search and optimisation states that averaged across all possible objective functions on a fixed search space, all search algorithms perform equally well. Several refined versions of the ... -
Wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices
(2014)The concepts of wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices are explained. Some current examples and enabling technologies are provided. The need for real-time distortion correction is outlined. Several new ... -
Wireless home network infrastructure for wearable appliances
(IEEE, 2002-06-18)A server infrastructure allows wireless wearable appliances or portable handsets to access consumer services offered via the server. Services are accessed via a universal home services interface (UHSI) which is shared by ... -
Wireless remote control [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2012-10)The original Flashmatic patent was filed May 6th 1955 and granted Sept 8 1959 to the Zenith Radio Corporation. Even in those days it took almost 4 years to work through the patent examination process to have a legally ... -
Wireless transfer of images from a digital camera to the internet via a standard GSM mobile phone
(IEEE, 2001)In this paper we describe an infrastructure based on an existing, commercially available, GSM mobile phone for achieving connectivity between digital cameras and an Internet Website. Pictures are ... -
Workplace Exposure to Bioaerosols in Podiatry Clinics
(Oxford Journals, 2012-01-03)The aim of this study was to design and execute a pilot study to collect information on the personal exposure levels of podiatrists to microbial hazards in podiatry clinics and also to assess health and safety knowledge ... -
An XFEM-Based Methodology for Fatigue Delamination and Permeability in Composites
(2014)Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are one of the prospective material families being investigated for use in the fuel tanks of future reusable space launch vehicles (RSLVs). The extreme thermo-mechanical loading that ... -
Xilinx FPGA implementation of a pixel processor for object detection applications
(2000-06)This paper describes an FPGA and distributed RAM architecture for an image pixel processor implementing primary elements of an object detection system. A comparison of the system performance with existing DSP processor-based ...
