Simulation of turbulent flow in a rapid compression machine: Large Eddy Simulation and computationally efficient alternatives for the design of ignition delay time experiments
(Elsevier, 2018-07-05)
Rapid compression machines (RCMs) are widely used by the fuel research community to provide engine-relevant conditions to study ignition delay time (IDT), which is a crucial target for validating chemical kinetic mechanisms ...
Gamma band neural stimulation in humans and the promise of a new modality to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
(IOS Press, 2018-07-19)
Existing treatments for Alzheimer s Disease have questionable efficacy with a need for research into new and more effective therapies to both treat and possibly prevent the condition. This review examines a novel therapeutic ...
Brain haemorrhage detection using a SVM classifier with electrical impedance tomography measurement frames
(Public Library of Science, 2018-07-12)
Brain haemorrhages often require urgent treatment with a consequent need for quick and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we investigate Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for detecting brain haemorrhages ...
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon Emissions reduction Targets via energy MANAGEMENT in non-energy intensive multi-site manufacturing organisations
(Elsevier, 2018-03-14)
Research on the characteristics of long-term energy policy and associated strategies in multisite
manufacturing organisations is limited. Non-energy intensive multinationals do not face
the environmental regulations ...
Supervised learning classifiers for electrical impedance-based bladder state detection
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-03-29)
Urinary Incontinence affects over 200 million people worldwide, severely impacting the quality of life of individuals. Bladder state detection technology has the potential to improve the lives of people with urinary ...
A review of the integrity of metallic vehicle armour to projectile attack
(SAGE Publications, 2018-02-28)
This article presents a review of engineering and design aspects relevant to the mechanical and structural integrity of military vehicular armour, including materials-related technologies. Theoretical, experimental and ...
Architecture for gathering and integrating collaborative information for decision support in emergency situations
(Inderscience, 2018-01-16)
The involvement of citizens in supporting crisis situations is no longer a new phenomenon. In the past, the lack of data was one of the main barriers faced by public managers in the decision-making process. Today the ...
RDF dataset profiling – a survey of features, methods, vocabularies and applications
(IOS Press, 2018-07-12)
The Web of Data, and in particular Linked Data, has seen tremendous growth over the past years. However, reuse and take-up of these rich data sources is often limited and focused on a few well-known and established RDF ...
Enhancement of bauxite residue as a low-cost absorbent for phosphorus in aqueous solution, using seawater and gypsum treatments.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-20)
Bauxite residue (red mud), the by-product produced in the alumina industry, is being produced at an estimated global rate of approximately 150Mt per annum. Due to its highly alkaline nature, many refineries use neutralisation ...
A survey of reliability assessment techniques for modern distribution networks
(Elsevier, 2018-04-14)
Reliability assessment tools are of crucial importance for planning and modernisation of distribution power systems. In recent years there has been an increased deployment of renewable energy, distributed generation, energy ...
