(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-03-15)Microwave imaging can be used as an alternate modality for monitoring bone health. Dielectrically accurate, anthropomorphic phantoms play vital role in testing of imaging prototype prior to clinical applications. However, ... -
Microwave thermal ablation: focusing energy in target tissue using fat layer
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-03-31)Microwave thermal ablation therapy is a minimally invasive technique introduced in the interventional oncology practice to treat a range of cancerous pathologies. Whereas satisfying results are obtained with the treatment ... -
Mineral fertiliser equivalent value of dairy processing sludge and derived biochar using ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(Elsevier, 2022-08-20)As supply chains of chemical fertilisers become more precarious, raw or derived bio-based fertilisers (herein referred to as bio-fertilisers) from the dairy processing industry could be good alternatives. However, their ... -
Minimum information for dielectric measurements of biological tissues (MINDER): A framework for repeatable and reusable data
(Wiley, 2017-11-13)The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterise the interaction of human tissues with electromagnetic (EM) fields. Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of tissues are vital in EM‐based therapeutic ... -

Mitigating ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from stored cattle slurry using agricultural waste, commercially available products and a chemical acidifier.
(Elsevier, 2021-02-05)Bovine slurry and its subsequent storage are significant sources of ammonia (NH3) and greenhouse gases (GHGs). Chemical acidification of manures has been shown to significantly reduce these emissions. Waste products, derived ... -
Mitigation of ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from stored cattle slurry using acidifiers and chemical amendments
(Elsevier, 2019-07-28)Cattle and cow slurry storage is a significant source of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia (NH3) emissions. While acidification has been demonstrated to significantly reduce these emissions, a knowledge gap ... -
A model for surface tension in the finite volume particle method without parasitic current
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)A surface tension model has been developed in the finite volume particle method (FVPM). Surface tension force is applied only on free-surface particles, which are inexpensively and robustly detected using the FVPM ... -
A model for surface tension in the meshless finite volume particle method without spurious velocity
(Elsevier, 2018-11-22)A surface tension model has been developed in the finite volume particle method (FVPM). FVPM is a conservative, consistent, meshless particle method that incorporates properties of both smoothed particle hydrodynamics and ... -
Model-based fault detection and diagnosis of air handling units: A comparison of methodologies
(Elsevier, 2014-12-26)This paper presents a comparison between two model based diagnostics methodologies that can be used to detect and diagnose various faults that occur in Air Handling Units. The process from model development to inference ... -
Modeling limits to growth
(Springer, Cham, 2016-06-15)This chapter introduces system dynamics models of limits to growth. First, a one-stock model is presented, where the growth rate varies, and is influenced by the system’s carrying capacity. Second, a model of economic ... -
Modeling of the dielectric properties of biological tissues within the histology region
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-11-27)The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterize the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As such, accurate knowledge of these properties is vital to the design and development of ... -
