Deep neural network and data augmentation methodology for off-axis iris segmentation in wearable headsets
(Elsevier, 2019-08-01)
A data augmentation methodology is presented and applied to generate a large dataset of off-axis iris regions and train a low-complexity deep neural network. Although of low complexity the resulting network achieves a high ...
An experimental and numerical study of moisture flow and moisture-induced strain in fast-grown Sitka spruce
(Departamento de Ingeniería en Maderas de la Universidad del Bio-Bio en Concepción, Chile, 2019)
The use of fast-grown timber in the manufacture of engineered wood products is increasing;
however, the fast growth rate results in a low-density timber that is susceptible to significant swelling
and shrinkage deformations ...
Dielectric characterization of diseased human trabecular bones at microwave frequency
(Elsevier, 2020-02-07)
The objective of this study is to determine whether in vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bones, can distinguish between osteoporotic and osteoarthritis patients' bone samples. Specifically this study enlightens ...
A Matter of Timing: Consumer Electronics & Network Time
(IEEE, 2013-10)
Network time protocol (NTP) has become widely used across the Internet to synchronize clocks on computers and, more recently, on a wide variety of handheld devices. You are using NTP on a daily basis without even knowing ...
Unsaturated behaviour of a stabilized marine sediment: A comparison of cement and GGBS binders
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
In order to ascertain the contaminant-encapsulation potential of stabilized soil, an understanding of its unsaturated hydraulic behaviour, specifically the Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC), is paramount. In this paper, ...
Void distributions and permeability prediction for rotationally moulded polymers
(SAGE, 2014-01-22)
An experimental study of void distributions for rotationally moulded polyethylene is presented. The effects of key variables such as maximum process temperature and nominal wall thickness (via powder mass) are studied. ...
Effects of fertiliser on phosphorus pools in soils with contrasting organic matter content: A fractionation and path analysis study
(Elsevier, 2018-12-05)
With the intensification of agricultural production in many European countries, more marginal soils with elevated organic matter (OM) content are being brought into cultivation. However, little is known about the transformations ...
A practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay: numerical modelling
(IOS Press, 2015)
In this paper, a practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay is presented using some novel procedures implemented in the finite element (FE) software package PLAXIS ...
A bioresorbable biomaterial carrier and passive stabilization device to improve heart function post-myocardial infarction
(Elsevier, 2019-05-15)
The limited regenerative capacity of the heart after a myocardial infarct results in remodeling processes that can progress to congestive heart failure (CHF). Several strategies including mechanical stabilization of the ...
Effect of modeling approach on climate change focused life cycle assessments for a contemporary smartphone device
(2014)
Life cycle assessments (LCA) of consumer electronics and beyond are usually performed and reported very differently. As a result it is often difficult to assess the robustness, variability and transparency of reported LCA ...
