A preliminary design methodology for fatigue life prediction of polymer composites for tidal turbine blades
(SAGE, 2012-07)Tidal turbine blades experience significant fatigue cycles during operation and it is expected that fatigue strength will be a major consideration in their design. Glass fibre reinforced polymers are a candidate low-cost ... -
A preliminary design methodology for fatigue life prediction of polymer composites for tidal turbine blades
(SAGE, 2012-06-06)Tidal turbine blades experience significant fatigue cycles during operation and it is expected that fatigue strength will be a major consideration in their design. Glass fibre reinforced polymers are a candidate low-cost ... -
Presence of emerging contaminants in treated sludges and their potential impacts on the environment
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-13)Landspreading of sewage sludge remains the most economical and practical means for its disposal, with some countries, such as Ireland, disposing up to 90% to land. Its nitrogen, phosphorus and metal content make it an ... -
Primary cilia exist in a small fraction of cells in trabecular bone and marrow
(Springer, 2014-11-15)Primary cilia are potent mechanical and chemical sensory organelles in cells of bone lineage in tissue culture. Cell culture experiments suggest that primary cilia sense fluid flow and this stimulus is translated through ... -
Primary cilia expression in bone marrow in response to mechanical stimulation in explant bioreactor culture
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2016-07-19)Bone marrow contains a multitude of mechanically sensitive cells that may participate in mechanotransduction. Primary cilia are sensory organelles expressed on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteocytes, and ... -
Privacy challenges for smart-cities: The challenge of IoT camera uberveilance
(IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things, 2019-04-15)The challenges of handling personal privacy are examined in the context of a smart-city environment with every-present surveillance. The current state of digital camera technology is reviewed and two over-arching approaches ... -
A privacy framework for games and interactive media
(IEEE, 2018-08-16)Privacy is a concept that is intertwined with data security, but its scope is significantly broader. Often considerations of privacy in the context of consumer devices are limited to a consideration of the security of the ... -
A privacy-enabled solution for sharing social data in ad-hoc mobile networks
(2011)There is an enormous growth of the use of mobile devices and the social Web. Thus the users want to exchange their social data easily by using their phones and PDAs. We show that existing solutions put the users at security ... -
Probabilistic Detection of Short Events, with Application to Critical Care Monitoring
(2008)We describe an application of probabilistic modeling and inference technology to the problem of analyzing sensor data in the setting of an intensive care unit (ICU). In particular, we consider the arterial-line blood ... -
