Applying reinforcement learning towards automating resource allocation and application scalability in the cloud
(Wiley, 2012-05-30)Public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) clouds such as Amazon, GoGrid and Rackspace deliver computational resources by means of virtualisation technologies. These technologies allow multiple independent virtual machines ... -
Appraisal and ranking of poly-aluminium chloride, ferric chloride and alum for the treatment of dairy soiled water
(Elsevier, 2020-04-29)Land spreading of dairy soiled water (DSW) may result in pollution of ground and surface waters. Treatment of DSW through sludge-supernatant separation using chemical coagulants is a potential option to reduce the negative ... -
Appraising stone column settlement prediction methods using finite element analyses
(Springer Verlag, 2014-09-26)Numerous approaches exist for the prediction of the settlement improvement offered by the vibro-replacement technique in weak or marginal soil deposits. The majority of the settlement prediction methods are based on the ... -
Architecture for a Home Media Network Based on PTP-IP Connectivity Techniques
(IEEE, 2008-08-05)PTP/IP functionality is extended to enable networked devices to be organized in a sequential media processing workflow. The additional device functionality necessary to support this network architecture is not unduly complex ... -
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 ... -
Architecture of a PVR appliance with 'Long Tail' internet-TV capabilities
(IEEE, 2006)The design and implementation of a networked PVR appliance incorporating support for Internet-TV is described. The appliance incorporates support for the bittorrent protocol and employs user tools for content location, ... -
Are all osteocytes equal? Multiscale modelling of cortical bone to characterise the mechanical stimulation of osteocytes
(Wiley, 2013-12-03)Bone continuously adapts its internal structure to accommodate the functional demands of its mechanical environment. This process is orchestrated by a network of mechanosensitive osteocytes that respond to external ... -
Arrhythmia Identification from ECG Signals with a Neural Network Classifier Based on a Bayesian Framework
(2004)This paper presents an ANN-based diagnostic system for arrhythmia using Neural Network Classifier with Bayesian framework by time series biosignals. The Neural Network Classifier is built by the use of logistic regression ... -
Assessing aerodynamic performance in cycling using computational fluid dynamics
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)Aerodynamic resistance is one of the leading challenges to overcome in elite cycling. To optimize cycling aerodynamics, estimates must first be made by means of wind tunnel testing, computational fluid dynamics or track ... -
Assessing capital investment on energy improvement projects from a global energy management perspective: a tri-generation case study
(NUI Galway, 2016)For multi-national companies, assessment of energy improvement projects across a global site-base requires a thorough understanding of the driving factors affecting energy consumption on each site. Traditionally, assessment ... -
The assessment of embodied energy in typical reinforced concrete building structures in Ireland
(2010)This paper demonstrates that by understanding how energy is consumed in the manufacturing of reinforced concrete, designers can significantly reduce the overall embodied energy of structures. Embodied energy of products ... -
Assessment of intermittently loaded woodchip and sand filters to treat dairy soiled water
(IWA Publishing and Elsevier, 2016-07-31)Land application of dairy soiled water (DSW) is expensive relative to its nutrient replacement value. The use of aerobic filters is an effective alternative method of treatment and potentially allows the final effluent to ... -
An assessment of new product development in the Irish pharmaceutical industry
(2003)In today's competitive drug development environment, Irish pharmaceutical companies are moving towards more knowledge base activities. These companies must focus on new product development (NPD) firstly to remain competitive ... -
An assessment of potential pesticide transmission, considering the combined impact of soil texture and pesticide properties: A meta-analysis
(Wiley, 2022-02-22)Pesticides are widely employed as a cost-effective means of reducing the impacts of undesirable plants and animals. The aim of this paper is to develop a risk ranking of transmission of key pesticides through soil to ... -
Assessment of Tc-99 monitoring within the western Irish Sea using a numerical model
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-05-26)Water circulation patterns and associated material transport within a highly dynamic system such as the Irish Sea are complex phenomena. Although Tc-99 monitoring programme undertaken by the Radiological Protection Institute ... -
Assessment of the hydraulic and filter performance of different drainage stone aggregates to elucidate an optimum size range for use in clay-textured soils
(Elsevier, 2023-01-18)On poorly drained grassland farms in Ireland, stone aggregates remain the only in-field drain envelope material used by contractors. A variety of aggregate sizes and lithologies are currently in use, but their performance ... -
Assessment of water quality using Water Quality Index (WQI) models and advanced geostatistical technique
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)Water quality index (WQI) models are popular tools to evaluate the quality of water; as such they have been developed and used by many agencies worldwide. However, the WQI model may generate excessive uncertainties in ... -
