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 ...
A novel hybrid filter for the treatment of septic tank effluent.
(ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering, 2006-06-01)
Intermittent sand filtration is a common and effective method for treating septic tank effluent. However, if the loading rate is too high, clogging and ponding of the sand filter surface layer can occur due to the accumulation ...
Constructed wetlands for the treatment of highway runoff.
(Nova Publishers, 2008-06-01)
Highway surface runoff contains pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons, de-icing salts, and heavy metals. Treatment methods for highway runoff include storage/treatment facilities, such as constructed ...
Performance of a stratified sand filter in removal of chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and ammonia nitrogen from high-strength wastewaters.
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2007-06-01)
A stratified sand filter column, operated in recirculation mode and treating synthetic effluent resembling high strength dairy wastewaters was studied over a 342 day duration. The aim of this paper was to examine the ...
Cyclic loading tests on sandstone and limestone shale aggregates used in unbound forest roads.
(Construction and Building Materials, 2009-06-01)
This study examined the performance of two aggregates subjected to cyclic loading in a large-scale test rig. The two aggregates examined were: (i) a sandstone from Co. Cork, Ireland and (ii) a limestone shale from Co. ...
A Machine Learning Application for Classification of Chemical Spectra
(2008)
This paper presents a software package that allows chemists to analyze spectroscopy data using innovative machine learning (ML) techniques. The package, designed for use in conjunction with lab-based spectroscopic ...
Rapid prototyping of networked A/V CE appliances
(IEEE, 2006-05-15)
In this paper the design and rapid prototyping of networked A/V CE appliances is described. Practical implementations of three types of appliance are described: (i) a streaming A/V server; (ii) a streaming A/V client device ...
Automatic indexing of consumer image collections using person recognition techniques
(IEEE, 2005-01-08)
An evaluation of person recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. Prototype implementations of the automatic cataloging tool and user search tools are ...
Biometrically auditable public key infrastructure technology for secure multimedia content
(IEEE, 2005-05-16)
A system for signing and tracing the use of digital content based on biometrically generated key-pairs is described. The system is designed to protect the fair use rights of end-users and can be readily incorporated into ...
Home networking middleware infrastructure for improved audio/video appliance functionality and interoperability
(IEEE, 2006-05-15)
A software architecture is described which significantly improves the accessability of multiple home appliances on a heterogeneous home network. Methods for aggregating devices into virtual clusters on a local middleware ...
