Half-face detector for enhanced performance of flash-eye filter
(IEEE, 2013-01-12)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 ... -
A happy threesome: Innovation, Creativity and Business Support
(2009)Businesses, whether for-profit and nonprofit, are facing change like never before. Numerous driving forces to this change include a rapidly expanding marketplace (globalization), and increasing competition, diversity among ... -
Hardware implementation of a real-time 3D video acquisition system
(IEEE, 2010-07-15)An implementation of a real-time 3D video acquisition system on a single FPGA is presented. Our approach is based on the use of stereo image sensors and can display real-time 3D video when combined with shutter glasses. ... -
Harvesting effects on biomass and nutrient retention in Phragmites australis in a free-water surface constructed wetland in western Ireland
(2007)The aim of this study was to examine the seasonal variation in biomass, total nitrogen (Tot-N) and total phosphorus (Tot-P) content of Phragmites australis in a 3-cell free-water surface (FWS) constructed wetland in western ... -
Harvesting effects on biomass and nutrient retention in phragmites australis in a free-water surface constructed wetland in western Ireland
(The Royal Irish Academy, 2008-06-26)The aim of this study was to examine the seasonal variation in biomass, total nitrogen (Tot-N) and total phosphorus (Tot-P) content of Phragmites australis in a 3-cell free-water surface (FWS) constructed wetland in western ... -
High temperature, low cycle fatigue characterisation of P91 weld and heat affected zone material
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014-01-08)The high temperature low cycle fatigue behavior of P91 weld metal (WM) and weld joints (cross-weld) is presented. Strain-controlled tests have been carried out at 400 °C and 500 °C. The cyclic behavior of the weld material ... -
High-resolution measurement of the unsteady velocity field to evaluate blood damage induced by a mechanical heart valve
(Springer, 2011-09)We investigate the potential of prosthetic heart valves to generate abnormal flow and stress patterns, which can contribute to platelet activation and lysis according to blood damage accumulation mechanisms. High-resolution ... -
Holistic evaluation of field-scale denitrifying bioreactors as a basis to improve environmental quality.
(Association of Crop, Soil and Environmental Societies (ACSES), 2015-10-02)Denitrifying bioreactors effectively convert nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) to di-nitrogen and thereby protect water quality in agricultural landscapes. In the present study, the performance of a pilot-scale bioreactor (50 m ... -
Home gateway architecture for generic multimedia services
(1999)Development of a prototype residential gateway based on low-cost off-the-shelf PC components is described. The goal is to show how such a gateway might operate to satisfy the requirements of a broad spectrum of customer ... -
Home network infrastructure for handheld/wearable appliances
(IEEE, 2002)A server infrastructure allows wireless wearable appliances or portable handsets to access consumer services offered via the server. Services are accessed via a Universal Home Services Interface (UHSI) which is ... -
Home networking middleware infrastructure for improved audio/video appliance functionality and interoperability
(IEEE, 2006-05-15)A software architecture is described which significantly improves the accessability of multiple home appliances on a heterogeneous home network. Methods for aggregating devices into virtual clusters on a local middleware ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
