Smart augmentation learning an optimal data augmentation strategy
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-04-24)
A recurring problem faced when training neural networks is that there is typically not enough data to maximize the generalization capability of deep neural networks. There are many techniques to address this, including ...
Unconstrained palmprint as a smartphone biometric
(IEEE, 2017-11-13)
In this work the use of palmprints as an alternative biometric for smartphones is investigated and its feasibility is evaluated across multiple devices using unconstrained acquisition. A novel multi-device database that ...
Application of preconditioned alternating direction method of multipliers in depth from focal stack
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018-04-06)
Postcapture refocusing effect in smartphone cameras is achievable using focal stacks. However, the accuracy of this effect is totally dependent on the combination of the depth layers in the stack. The accuracy of the ...
An evaluation of the performance and optimization of a new wastewater treatment technology: the air suction flow-biofilm reactor
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-12-09)
In this laboratory study, a novel wastewater treatment technology, the air suction flow-biofilm reactor (ASF-BR) - a sequencing batch biofilm reactor technology with a passive aeration mechanism - was investigated for its ...
An integrated assessment of nitrogen source, transformation and fate within an intensive dairy system to inform management change.
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-23)
From an environmental perspective optimised dairy systems, which follow current regulations, still have low nitrogen (N) use efficiency, high N surplus (kg N ha-1) and enable ad-hoc delivery of direct and indirect reactive ...
Interactive water services: The WATERNOMICS approach
(Elsevier, 2014-12-17)
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 personalized ...
Carbon costs and savings of Greenways: creating a balance sheet for the sustainable design and construction of cycling routes
(Inderscience, 2013-09-10)
A modal shift to cycling has the potential to reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector. However, the carbon footprint of constructing new cycling routes, particularly greenways, has not been previously considered ...
Hydrogen sulfide oxidation in novel Horizontal-Flow Biofilm Reactors dominated by an Acidithiobacillus and a Thiobacillus species
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-17)
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is an odourous, highly toxic gas commonly encountered in various commercial and municipal sectors. Three novel, laboratory-scale, Horizontal-Flow Biofilm Reactors (HFBRs) were tested for the removal ...
Characterization of woodstove briquettes from torrefied biomass and coal
(Elsevier, 2019-01-18)
Using waste biomass materials offers the potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Torrefaction is very useful for improving the fuel properties of biomass in order to better match those of coal. ...
Evidence of stabilised peat as a net carbon sink
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-09)
Mass stabilization, a ground improvement solution used for construction in peatlands, involves mixing suitable dry binders into the peat, increasing strength and stiffness and reducing permeability. A previous pilot study ...
