Neural Network Approach to Predicting Stock Exchange Movements using External Factors
(2005)The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using external indicators, such as commodity prices and currency exchange rates, in predicting movements in the Dow Jones Industrial Average index. The performance ... -
Neutrality through transcription and translation in genetic algorithm representation
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2012-10-05)This paper examines the use of the biological concepts of transcription and translation, to introduce neutrality into the representation of a genetic algorithm (GA). The aim of the paper is to attempt to identify problem ... -
Next Generation Face Tracking Technology Using AAM Techniques
(IEEE, 2007)This paper realizes an investigation of the active appearance model (AAM) techniques, with particular emphasis on problems related to the implementation of AAM in realtime face tracking applications for embedded systems. ... -
Nitrate removal rate, efficiency and pollution swapping potential of different organic carbon media in laboratory denitrification bioreactors.
(Ecological Engineering, 2012-01-01)Laboratory denitrifying bioreactors, which use an organic carbon (C) rich media to enhance microbial reduction of nitrate (NO3-) to nitrogen (N) gases, are used worldwide to protect surface and groundwater. To highlight ... -
Nitrification in a vertically moving biofilm system
(Elsevier, 2006-03)A laboratory continuous feed biofilm reactor, comprising a bulk fluid reactor, a biofilm plastic module, a feed tank, and pneumatic devices and controls, was operated for a total period of 257 days, including seeding time, ... -
Nitrification in a vertically moving biofilm system.
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2006-06-01)A laboratory continuous feed biofilm reactor, comprising a bulk fluid reactor, a biofilm plastic module, a feed tank, pneumatic devices and controls, was operated for a total period of 257 days, including seeding time, to ... -
Nitrogen-limitation-induced carbon and phosphorus fluxes in anaerobic/aerobic sequencing batch reactors
(Elseiver, 2010)Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) has been applied widely in wastewater treatment plants. However, deterioration or failure of EBPR often happens because: (i) of the dominance of glycogen-accumulating organisms ... -
A novel BIM-based process workflow for building retrofit
(Elsevier, 2022-02-06)The European Union (EU) has developed policies aimed at accelerating the retrofit of existing buildings, with the vision of a decarbonised building stock by 2050. Retrofitting of existing buildings offers significant ... -
A novel hybrid coagulation-constructed wetland system for the treatment of dairy wastewater
(Elsevier, 2022-07-29)Constructed wetlands (CWs) are a cost-effective and sustainable treatment technology that may be used on farms to treat dairy wastewater (DWW). However, CWs require a large area for optimal treatment and have poor long-term ... -
A novel hybrid coagulation-intermittent sand filter for the treatment of dairy wastewater
(Elsevier, 2022-08-06)An intermittent sand filter (ISF) is a simple and cost-effective treatment method that may be adopted on farms to treat dairy wastewater (DWW). However, the use of ISFs has been limited due to the large area required for ... -
A novel hybrid filter for the treatment of septic tank effluent
(ASCE, 2006)Intermittent sand filtration is a common and effective method for treating septic tank effluent. However, if the loading rate is too high, clogging and ponding of the sand filter surface layer can occur due to the accumulation ... -

A novel image processing-based system for turbidity measurement in domestic and industrial wastewater
(IWA Publishing, 2018-01-19)Wastewater treatment facilities are continually challenged to meet both environmental regulations and reduce running costs (particularly energy and staffing costs). Improving the efficiency of operational monitoring at ... -
A novel machine learning based method for deepfake video detection in social media
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-05-12)With the advent of deepfake videos, video forgery has become a serious threat. Videos in social media are the most common and serious targets. There are some existing works for detecting deepfake videos but very few attempts ... -
A novel method to rapidly assess the suitability of water treatment residual and crusted concrete for the mitigation of point and nonpoint source nutrient pollution
(Elsevier, 2019-07-02)Freshwater ecosystems worldwide are at risk of becoming degraded as a result of excessive inputs of phosphorus (P) associated with terrestrial activities. This study describes a novel methodology to rapidly assess the ... -
A novel reduced order model technology framework to support the estimation of the energy savings in building retrofits
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), as a tool to enhance energy efficiency of buildings, can accelerate investment in cost-effective energy conservation measures (ECMs) for existing buildings. However, there are many ... -
