Parameterization of turbulence models using 3DVAR data
(City University of New York, 2014-01-08)
In this research the 3DVAR data assimilation scheme is implemented in the numerical model DIVAST in order to optimize the performance of the numerical model by selecting an appropriate turbulence scheme and tuning its ...
The link between off campus work for students, reduced academic performance and increased mental health issues
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)
Despite the Free Fees Initiative (introduced in 1996) Irish students pay an annual registration fee of 3,000 (Cassells, 2016). This, in combination with rising accommodation and living costs, means that the annual cost ...
Conservation voltage reduction in secondary distribution networks with distributed generation and electric vehicle charging loads
(IEEE, 2018-08-23)
This paper investigates the potential for Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) in Low Voltage (LV) secondary distribution networks. CVR is a well-established technique where the voltage in LV networks is managed at a ...
Classification applied to brain haemorrhage detection: Initial phantom studies using electrical impedance measurements
(EIT2018, 2018-06-11)
Machine learning and classification algorithms are applied to data collected from an EIT system. The system is used with an anatomically accurate head phantom setup in a variety of situations modelling normal and haemorrhagic ...
Hardware implementation of a real-time 3D video acquisition system
(IEEE, 2010-07-15)
An implementation of a real-time 3D video acquisition system on a single FPGA is presented. Our approach is based on the use of stereo image sensors and can display real-time 3D video when combined with shutter glasses. ...
Microscale flow structures measured downstream of a mechanical heart valve
(Trinity College Dublin, 2010-01-22)
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 ...
Micromechanical modelling of fatigue crack nucleation in stents
(Bioengineering In Ireland Conference 2012, 2012)
A finite element based micro-mechanical methodology for cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack initiation in cardiovascular stents is presented. The methodology is based on the combined use of a (global) three-dimensional ...
Analysis of jacking force data for microtunnels in glacial till at Kilcock, Ireland
(IOS Press, 2011)
Although the application of microtunnelling to pipeline construction has grown considerably in Ireland in recent times, there is very little published guidance on the jacking forces that might be expected in Irish ground ...
