A realistic pelvic phantom for electrical impedance measurement
(IOP Publishing, 2018-03-15)
Objective: To design and fabricate an anatomically and conductively accurate phantom for electrical impedance studies of non-invasive bladder volume monitoring.
Approach: A modular pelvic phantom was designed and fabricated, ...
Comparing how entrepreneurs and managers represent the elements of the business model canvas
(Elsevier, 2018-03-03)
This paper uses self-efficacy to compare how entrepreneurs and managers represent the nine elements of the business model canvas (BMC; Osterwalder, 2004). A six-item efficacy scale was developed to measure each element. ...
Hybrid Semi-Parallel Deep Neural Networks (SPDNN) – example methodologies and use cases
(XPERI Inc., 2018-05-23)
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are typically trained on specific datasets, optimized with particular discriminating capabilities. Often several different DNN topologies are developed solving closely related aspects of a ...
Symmetry difference electrical impedance tomography-a novel modality for anomaly detection
(IOP Publishing, 2018-04-26)
Objective: The theoretical basis, experimental implementation, and proof of concept of a novel electrical impedance tomography (EIT) imaging technique, called symmetry difference EIT, is described. This technique is ...
The effect of feedstock origin and temperature on the structure and reactivity of char from pyrolysis at 1300 2800 °C
(Elsevier, 2018-07-31)
This study reports the effect of feedstock origin, residence time, and heat treatment temperature on CO2 and O2 reactivities, nanostructure and carbon chemistry of chars prepared at 1300, 1600, 2400, and 2800 °C in a slow ...
The nature of stable char radicals: An ESR and DFT study of structural and hydrogen bonding requirements
(Wiley, 2018-06-28)
Pyrolysis is a promising way to convert biomass into fuels and chemicals. This reaction is complex and inevitably involves a cascade of radical reactions that lead to char formation, in which some radicals become trapped ...
Evolving collective behaviours in simulated kilobots
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-04-09)
The field of Evolutionary Robotics has multiple common tasks and widely used benchmark activities such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and phototaxis. We present an evolutionary approach to learning behaviours that ...
Empowering learners with self-selecting learning tools
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)
Students need to be encouraged while in the liminal space i.e. the learning journey in the process of mastering a threshold concept (Land et al, 2014) (Meyer & Land, 2003). However, this learning journey can either be a ...
Laboratory Push-In Resistance Tests (PIRT) in a cement-stabilised pseudo-fibrous peat
(Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)
Deep dry soil mixing (DDSM) is a form of ground improvement in which dry binders are injected and mixed in
situ, forming individual columns, rows or interlocking panels, thereby improving the geotechnical characteristics ...
Characterization of renewable reductants and charcoal-based pellets for the use in ferroalloy industries
(Elsevier, 2018-11-05)
This study investigates the effect of high-temperature pyrolysis and post-treatment processes on spruce and oak charcoal yields and CO2 reactivity in a slow pyrolysis reactor. Post-treatment processes such as co-pyrolysis ...
