Brace response and assessment: computation, experiments and design (BRACED)
(Seismic engineering research infrastructures for European synergies (SERIES) , Project No.: 227887, 2013)The BRACED project investigated the ultimate behaviour of concentrically braced frames(CBFs). The research programme was designed to validate empirical models for theductility capacity of hollow section bracing members and ... -
Brain haemorrhage detection using a SVM classifier with electrical impedance tomography measurement frames
(Public Library of Science, 2018-07-12)Brain haemorrhages often require urgent treatment with a consequent need for quick and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we investigate Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for detecting brain haemorrhages ... -
Bridging the osteochondral gap in mandibular condyle reconstruction with multiphasic 3D printing
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2015-09)Individuals afflicted with temporomandibular joint disorders experience a reduced ability to perform the most basic human functions such as chewing and talking. In advanced disease states, total joint replacement is often ... -
Broadband dielectric properties of adrenal gland for accurate anatomical modelling in medical applications
(IEEE, 2017-09-11)Dielectric properties of biological tissue are important in safety assessment and evaluation of novel medical imaging and therapeutic devices. This paper reports frequency dependent dielectric properties of adrenal tissue, ... -
Broadening Our Horizons [Notes from the Editor]
(IEEE, 2014-04)As many of you will be aware,IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine evolved from the quarterly newsletter of the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society. Jim Farmer edited the newsletter before I took over from him during 2010. ... -
Browser-style interfaces to a home automation network
(IEEE, 1997)The design and implementation of a browser-style interface to a home automation network is described. The interface supports browsing and navigation of network devices and context structures and the user can ... -
Building effectiveness communication ratios for improved building life cycle management
(International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), 2005-08-15)Many existing building energy performance assessment frameworks, quantifying and categorising buildings post occupancy, offer limited feedback on design decisions. An environment providing decision makers with pertinent ... -
Building performance optimization using cross-domain scenario modeling, linked data, and complex event processing
(Elsevier, 2013-01-28)The scenario modeling method empowers building managers by enabling comprehensive performance analysis in commercial buildings, but is currently limited to data from the building management domain. This paper proposes that ... -
Business Modelling to Support the Development of Integrated Process Support Systems in the Extended Enterprise
(1999)Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the areas of Business Process Reengineering(BPR) and Software Engineering. In order for BPR to work, successful deployment of Information Technology is imperative, with the ... -
Business sustainability methodology for European manufacturing SMEs
(IST Press, 2011-06-28)SMEs find it difficult to deal with environmental issues due mainly to their limited resources in terms of money, people and time. Our research also identified other barriers to engaging SMEs in environmental improvement ... -
Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
(Elsevier, 2013-08-30)Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and operation of naturally ventilated buildings require ... -
Can DEAP help us to predict the energy demand and indoor temperature of homes before and after renovation ? A case study from Dublin
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)Improving the energy efficiency of buildings via retrofitting is seen as one of the key mitigation measures to reducing the energy demand and carbon emissions of the built environment in Ireland. However, while energy ... -
Carbon and nitrogen dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions in constructed wetlands treating wastewaters: a review
(2016-02-17)The removal efficiency of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in constructed wetlands (CWs) is very inconsistent and frequently does not reveal whether the removal processes are due to physical attenuation or whether the different ... -
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 ... -
