Habit suitability assessment of constructed wetlands for the Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris [Linnaeus, 1758]): a comparison with natural wetlands
(Elsevier, 2017-06-22)Given the current decline of natural wetlands worldwide and the consequent negative impacts on amphibians, wetlands constructed for the treatment of wastewaters have the potential to play a role in the protection of these ... -
Haemodynamic performance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during recovery from total hip arthroplasty
(2013-03-05)Background: Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and ... -
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
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Heave-ho! A laboratory model of an underfloor environment incorporating pyritiferous fill
(NUI Galway, 2016)Damage to domestic dwellings in the greater Dublin area of Ireland caused by the expansion of underfloor fill material containing pyrite has become a high-profile national problem in recent years. In this paper, a novel ... -
Heparin as an anticoagulant for the dielectric measurement of blood
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-01-23)Testing blood ex-vivo allows physicians to gain an understanding of what is happening within the human body. Once blood is extracted from the body, it begins to clot. This process can affect the outcome of blood tests, ... -
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-accuracy facial depth models derived from 3D synthetic data
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-08-31)In this paper, we explore how synthetically generated 3D face models can be used to construct a high-accuracy ground truth for depth. This allows us to train the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to solve facial depth ... -
A high-fidelity crystal-plasticity finite element methodology for low-cycle fatigue using automatic electron backscatter diffraction scan conversion: Application to hot-rolled cobalt–chromium alloy
(SAGE Publications, 2021-05-11)The common approach to crystal-plasticity finite element modeling for load-bearing prediction of metallic structures involves the simulation of simplified grain morphology and substructure detail. This paper details a ... -
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 ... -
High-resolution measurements of leakage flow inside the hinge of a large-scale bileaflet mechanical heart valve hinge model
(Springer, 2019-06-24)Purpose It is believed that non-physiological leakage flow through hinge gaps during diastole contributes to thrombus formation in Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves (BMHVs). Because of the small scale and difficulty of ... -
High-resolution multi-scale modelling of coastal flooding due to tides, storm surges and rivers inflows: A Cork city example
(Elsevier, 2017-01-31)This paper demonstrates the capability of a new state-of-the-art flood modelling system consisting of multiple nested models to simulate urban coastal flood inundation. A flood event in Cork City, Ireland which occurred ... -
