Effect of rainfall interval on runoff losses of biosolids and meat and bone meal when applied to a grassland soil
(Springer, 2014)
This study assessed runoff losses following laboratory rainfall simulation on a grassland soil at two time intervals (48 and 216 h) after a single application of biosolids and meat and bone meal (MBM). The treatments were: ...
Comparison of a stratified and a single-layer laboratory sand filter to treat dairy soiled water from a farm-scale woodchip filter
(Springer, 2014-04)
Washing-down parlours and standing areas, following milking on dairy farms, produces dairy soiled water (DSW) that contains variable concentrations of nutrients. Aerobic woodchip filters can remove organic matter, nutrients ...
A portable Java API interface to simplify user access to digital cameras
(IEEE, 1998-08)
The digital camera is one of the main successes of recent years in consumer electronics. However ii typical digital camera remains tied to proprietary software on a personal computer. In this paper we describe the design ...
Scale-up of an unsteady flow field for enhanced spatial and temporal resolution of PIV measurements: application to leaflet wake flow in a mechanical heart valve
(Springer, 2011-07)
A scale-up approach is developed to enhance effective spatial and temporal resolution of PIV measurements. An analysis shows that complete similarity can be maintained for certain unsteady flows and that all types of error ...
Robustness and accuracy of SPH formulations for viscous flow
(2009)
Numerous methods are available for the modelling of viscous stress terms in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). In this work, the existing methods are investigated systematically and evaluated for a range of Reynolds ...
High-resolution measurement of the unsteady velocity field to evaluate blood damage induced by a mechanical heart valve
(Springer, 2011-09)
We investigate the potential of prosthetic heart valves to generate abnormal flow and stress patterns, which can contribute to platelet activation and lysis according to blood damage accumulation mechanisms. High-resolution ...
The Innovations and Inventions of Steve Jobs [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2014-04)
Much of the world of patents is shrouded in layers of legal mysticism,
semantic nuances, and subtle complexities. Those of you who are regular readers
of "IP Corner" will know that I often try to explain the principles ...
Kickstarting Collaboration [Notes from the Editor]
(IEEE, 2014-07)

A Lexicon of Patent Jargon [IP Corner]
(2014)
Often when I am doing work related to patents and IP, I find myself talking a
different language. It is a strange legal dialect that patent lawyers have
developed over many years. Now while its original purpose was ...
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(2012)
Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ...
