Human centred design considerations for connected health devices for the older adult
(MDPI, 2014-06-04)Connected health devices are generally designed for unsupervised use, by non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices ... -
Hybrid Semi-Parallel Deep Neural Networks (SPDNN) – example methodologies and use cases
(XPERI Inc., 2018-05-23)Deep neural networks (DNNs) are typically trained on specific datasets, optimized with particular discriminating capabilities. Often several different DNN topologies are developed solving closely related aspects of a ... -
Hybrid video-frame pre-processing architecture for HD-video
(IEEE, 2011)As imaging devices begin to support full frame rate video at 720p and higher resolutions image processing algorithms which operate on full image frames become severely challenged due to both the processing costs of operating ... -
Hydrodynamic modelling approaches to assess mechanisms affecting the structural performance and maintenance of vortex drops shaft structures
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-29)Vortex drop shafts, a key hydraulic structure within modern day deep sewer conveyance systems, must be designed structurally to sustain performance and longevity of operating life under very energetic loading conditions. ... -
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 ... -
Hygrothermal deterioration in carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite laminates aged in marine-based environment (degradation mechanism, mechanical and physicochemical properties)
(Springer, 2022-01-27)One of the major challenges in off-shore tidal and wave energy devices is the ageing of these structures in the hostile marine environment, which limits their operating life. In this research, mechanical properties of aged ... -
Hyperbranched PEGmethacrylate linear pDMAEMA block copolymer as an efficient non-viral gene delivery vector
(Elsevier, 2012-06-02)A unique hyperbranched polymeric system with a linear poly-2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (pDMAEMA) block and a hyperbranched polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EGDMA) ... -
ICT as an Opportunity for Regional Development: the Extremadura Case
(2007)The present paper describes the case of Extremadura Region as well as the lessons that can be learned from the processes of re-focussing its regional growth strategy. A brief introduction will show the way many regions or ... -
ICT platform requirements and KPIs definitions
(SPHERE Consortium, 2020-11-13)The detailed use cases will be identified based on Integrated Design and Delivery Services (IDDS) framework findings. Unified Modelling Language (UML) methodologies will be used in the task for a normalised specification ... -
Idea management for organisational Innovation
(World Scientific, 2003-12)Modern organisations are under ever increasing competitive pressure to maintain market share, enhance product range, improve efficiency and reduce cost. The process by which organisations attain these improvements is ... -
Identifying the reality gap between abstract and realistic models using evolved agents and simulated kilobots
(IEEE, 2018-12-12)A common challenge in evolutionary swarm robotics is the transfer of simulated results into real-world applications. This difficulty can arise in a variety of real-world settings and problems such as sensory differences in ... -
IEEE POCO 2015 brings fun and education to Glasgow [Conference Reports]
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-12-11)[No abstract available] -
Image processing techniques to detect and filter objectionable images based on skin tone and shape recognition
(IEEE, 2001-06-09)In this paper we describe image-processing techniques to detect and categorize potentially objectionable images based solely on the image content. The techniques include a novel method of matching skin tones based on a ... -
Image-based classification of bladder state using electrical impedance tomography
(IOP Publishing, 2018-12-03)Objective: In this study, we examine the potential of using machine learning classification to determine the bladder state ( not full , full ) with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) images of the pelvic region. Accurate ... -
The impact of alternating drainage and inundation cycles on geochemistry and microbiology of intact peat cores
(Elsevier, 2022-11-02)The rewetting of degraded peatlands has been adopted as a method to address climate change. Concerns have been raised about the effects of peat inundation and drying cycles, in more extreme climate events, on the potential ... -
The Impact of Biochar Addition on Nutrient Leaching and Soil Properties from Tillage Soil Amended with Pig Manure
(Springer, 2014-02)The application of pig manure to a tillage soil can result in pollution of surface and groundwater bodies. Countries in the European Union are required to comply with the Water Framework Directive, which states that all ... -
Impact of biochar addition to soil on greenhouse gas emissions following pig manure application
(2013)The application of biochar produced from wood and crop residues, such as sawdust, straw, sugar bagasse and rice hulls, to highly weathered soils under tropical conditions has been shown to influence soil greenhouse gas ... -
The impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry before land application on soil phosphorus dynamics
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-08-22)Application of dairy cattle slurry to agricultural soils, particularly those with high phosphorus (P) status or vulnerability to runoff, can increase P loss to waterbodies, which may accelerate eutrophication. While the ... -
Impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry on phosphorus, suspended sediment and metal loss to runoff from a grassland soil
(2011)Emerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle ... -
