Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ...
Modelling nutrient and chlorophyll_a dynamics in an Irish brackish waterbody
(Elsevier, 2004-01)
This paper presents aspects of a research investigation into nutrient fluxes into and out of an important Irish estuary, Wexford Harbour, located in the southeast of Ireland. Details of the methodology applied, the data ...
What if digital cameras didn't need (local) storage?: directing photos to the cloud
(IEEE, 2012)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move computers from the desktop onto the network. In this article, we investigate whether we can do the same with digital imaging devices. After all, for most of us, the practical ...
Wireless remote control [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2012-10)
The original Flashmatic patent was filed May 6th 1955 and granted Sept 8 1959 to the Zenith Radio Corporation. Even in those days it took almost 4 years to work through the patent examination process to have a legally ...
Performance of a stratified sand filter in removal of chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and ammonia nitrogen from high-strength wastewaters.
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2007-06-01)
A stratified sand filter column, operated in recirculation mode and treating synthetic effluent resembling high strength dairy wastewaters was studied over a 342 day duration. The aim of this paper was to examine the ...
Biometrics and Consumer Electronics: A Brave New World or the Road to Dystopia?[Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2013-04)
Biometric systems confirm a person's identity by extracting and comparing patterns in their physical characteristics against computer records of those patterns. Examples include scans of the face, iris, or retina; measurements ...
Advances in the detection & repair of flash-eye defects in digital images - a review of recent patents
(Bentham Science, 2012)
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 ...
Statistical models of appearance for eye tracking and eye-blink detection and measurement
(IEEE, 2008-08)
A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to track and detect eye blinking. The model has been designed to be robust to variations of head pose or gaze. In particular we analyze and determine the model ...
Cloud computing and consumer electronics: a perfect match or a hidden storm? [Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2012-04)
Cloud computing has emerged strongly into the consumer domain. As industry competes to gain market share from the rapidly growing multitudes of cloud-IT users, both network and data center infrastructures will grow more ...
Understanding Patent Applications [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2012)
In order to obtain the grant of a patent, a person or more commonly an organization, must file an application at a patent office with jurisdiction to grant a patent in the relevant geographic area. This is often be a ...
