A systematic decision support framework and prioritization method for energy projects in industrial organisations
(University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)
This paper describes a decision support framework to help
industrial organisations make positive investment decisions on energy
performance improvement projects. It is intended as a simple and
repeatable approach for ...
Methodology for quality checks for energy efficient buildings
(NUI Galway, 2017-03-01)
The built environment accounts for more than 40% of the overall energy consumption and 36% of the overall CO2 emissions in Europe. Moreover, statistics show that construction and the upkeep of European buildings and ...
Comparison of radar-based microwave imaging algorithms applied to experimental breast phantoms
(Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale, 2017-08-19)
Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for
the early detection of breast cancer. The two most important
signal processing components of a radar-based microwave
imaging system are the early-time artifact removal ...
An end-user led approach for assessing the feasibility of small-scale wind energy projects
(NUI Galway, 2017-06-18)
The successful realization of a wind energy project,
i.e. a wind farm, wind plant or, in its simplest form, a single
wind turbine generator, WTG, strongly depends on accurate
assessment of wind energy resources at the ...
An analytical method to assess the impact of distributed generation and energy storage on reliability of supply
(CIRED International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution, 2017-06-12)
Efficient integration of Distributed Generation (DG) and
Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to distribution networks
can help improve the reliability of supply. In order to
evaluate the impact of these technologies on ...
A novel tissue-mimicking material for phantom development in medical applications of EIT
(EIT2017, 2017-06-21)
A solid Tissue-Mimicking Material (TMM) with adjustable conductivity properties, which can be matched to those of biological tissue, is presented. TMM models of breast fat and gland matching the conductivity of real tissue ...
Realistic 3D finite element mesh of the adult human pelvis for electrical impedance tomography
(Zenodo, 2017-06-21)
The finite element method is a numerical technique
used to solve forward models for electrical impedance tomography.
To date, realistic finite element models (FEMs) have
been created for the head and thorax, but pelvic ...

Technological requirements for microwave ablation of adrenal masses
(IEEE, 2017)
Microwave thermal ablation is under consideration for minimally invasive treatment of bilateral adrenal adenomas, symptomatic of Conn's syndrome. Currently available microwave technologies are ill-suited to precise ablation ...
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon emissions reduction in non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations
(University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)
Research on the components and characteristics of long-term
energy policy and strategies in large organisations is limited. Non-energy
intensive multinationals do not face the environmental regulations required
by their ...
