Water analytics and management with real-time linked dataspaces
(Springer, 2017)
Due to predictions of water scarcity in the future, governments and
public administrations are increasingly looking for innovative solutions to improve
water governance and conservation. The problem is exasperated due ...
Super-insulate or use renewable technology? Life cycle cost, energy and global warming potential analysis of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) in a temperate oceanic climate
(Elsevier, 2017-01-13)
There are numerous strategies available to design and construct a low energy or nearly zero energy building (NZEB). However, the design strategy for a building depends on a high number of factors including location, climate, ...
Design and implementation of a performance assessment methodology cognisant of data accuracy for Irish wastewater treatment plants
(Elsevier, 2017-07-12)
Without intervention, wastewater treatment plants will become more resource intensive as they strive to meet environmental regulations. This challenge is set against the backdrop, in many countries, of an emphasis on cost ...
Laboratory foundation model with pyrite-bearing mudstone fill
(Thomas Telford (ICE Publishing), 2017-11-29)
Damage to domestic dwellings in the greater Dublin area of Ireland engendered by the expansion of the underfloor fill material containing pyrite has become a high-profile national problem in recent years. In this paper, a ...
Development of high-resolution multi-scale modelling system for simulation of coastal-fluvial urban flooding
(Copernicus Publications, 2017-02-16)
Urban developments in coastal zones are often exposed to natural hazards such as flooding. In this research, a state-of-the-art, multi-scale nested flood (MSN_Flood) model is applied to simulate complex coastal-fluvial ...
A physically-based constitutive model for high temperature microstructural degradation under cyclic deformation
(Elsevier, 2017-03-23)
This paper presents a dislocation-mechanics cyclic viscoplasticity model which incorporates the key physical micro-mechanisms of strengthening and softening for high temperature deformation of 9Cr steels. In particular, ...
The effect of the beta phase on the micromechanical response of dual-phase titanium alloys
(Elsevier, 2017-03-24)
This paper investigates the role of beta phase on the micro-mechanical behaviour of dual-phase titanium alloys, with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of cold dwell fatigue, which occurs in such alloys under room ...
Deep learning for consumer devices and services: Pushing the limits for machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision (Errata for acknowledgments)
(IEEE, 2017-06-14)
Presents corrections for acknowledgments in the paper:
Lemley, J., Bazrafkan, S., & Corcoran, P. (2017). Deep Learning for Consumer Devices and Services: Pushing the limits for machine learning, artificial intelligence, ...
Mechanical stimulations on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells enhance cells differentiation in a three-dimensional layered scaffold
(Wiley, 2017-05-09)
Scaffolds laden with stem cells are a promising approach for articular cartilage repair. Investigations have shown that implantation of artificial matrices, growth factors or chondrocytes can stimulate cartilage formation, ...
Global and local fatigue analysis of X100 and X60 steel catenary riser girth welds
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-31)
The use of steel catenary risers in offshore oil and gas production has increased significantly in recent years, in particular for deepwater applications. This paper presents a detailed assessment approach with respect to ...
