On thin-clients and the cloud; can smartphones and tablets really reduce electricity consumption?
(2014)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move many computational and data storage services from the desktop onto the network. New thin clients provide an excellent user interface for cloud services and also reduce both ...
Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
(IEEE, 2014)
Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ...
Wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices
(2014)
The concepts of wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices are explained. Some current examples and enabling technologies are provided. The need for real-time distortion correction is outlined. Several new ...
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 ...
Driven cast-in-situ piles in granular soil: applicability of CPT methods for pile capacity
(CBT'14, 2014)
Most CPT-based design methods for driven piles are heavily influenced by research on preformed driven piles. In this paper, a critical review is made of the ability of these methods to predict the total capacity of driven ...
Real-time monitoring and performance of retaining structures
(NUI Galway, 2014-08)
The advent of reliable real-time monitoring
devices has changed the way we monitor the construction of geotechnical
infrastructure. This paper presents a case study where Shaped Accel Arrays
(SAA) were employed as part ...
The influence of heat transfer and storage in structural precast building components on indoor environments
(2014)
Knowledge about the heat transfer and storage in concrete components of the building envelope is vital in evaluating the environmental and energy performance of buildings. Providing sufficient thermal mass of the building ...
The environmental performance of a reinforced precast concrete slab with void forming system
(2014)
In some climates people spend approximately 90% of their lives indoors. Thus, it is very important to maintain healthy and comfortable conditions in buildings. The building sector is responsible for about 40% of the ...
Interactive Water Services: The Waternomics Approach
(Elsevier, 2014)
WATERNOMICS focuses on the development of ICT as an enabling technology to manage water as a resource, increase end - user conservation awareness and affect behavioral changes. Unique aspects of WATERNOMICS include ...
Real-time monitoring of a hybrid precast and in situ concrete flat slab system
(2014)
This paper presents a scheme developed for instrumentation and monitoring of the structural performance of a hybrid precast and in situ concrete flat slab system employed in an educational building. The system contains a ...
