Player-Traced Empirical Cost-Surfaces for A* Pathfinding
(Eurosis, 2011)This paper discusses the use of empirical cost-surfaces derived from substantial amounts of player-traced movements in an online vehicular combat game, for the purposes of improving A* pathfinding by AI vehicles. The ... -
A Pleistocene deposit preserved in deep karst at Coolough, County Galway, western Ireland
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020-11-05)Buried karst features result from a complex interplay between carbonate bedrock and structural geology. The enhancement of carbonate aquifers through this interplay creates hydrogeologically complex subsurface drainage ... -
Polarity assessment of thermoresponsive poly(NIPAM-co-NtBA) copolymer films using fluorescence methods.
(Springer, 2010)The in-situ, non-contact, and non-destructive measurement of the physicochemical properties such as the polarity of thin, hydrophilic polymer films is desirable in many areas of polymer science. Polarity is a complex factor ... -
A porosity-based corrosion model for alkali halide ash deposits during biomass co-firing.
(American Chemical Society, 2015-04-24)This paper presents a physics-based model to describe accelerated corrosion because of alkali-halide-containing deposits, which form on superheater tube walls during biomass co-firing. Increased rates of corrosion during ... -
A portable Java API interface to simplify user access to digital cameras
(IEEE, 1998-08)The digital camera is one of the main successes of recent years in consumer electronics. However ii typical digital camera remains tied to proprietary software on a personal computer. In this paper we describe the design ... -
Portable user interfaces for remote access to embedded home systems and home networks
(IEEE, 1998-06-04)[no abstract available] -
Portfolio management: The holistic data lifecycle
(Drake Management Review, 2022-10)Machine learning provides many benefits to Portfolio Managers in analysing data and has the potential to provide much more. A concern with the approach to Machine Learning in Portfolio Management is that is caught between ... -
Potassium and soot interaction in fast biomass pyrolysis at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2018-04-02)This study aims to investigate the interaction between potassium and carbonaceous matrix of soot produced from wood and herbaceous biomass pyrolysis at high heating rates at 1250°C in a drop tube reactor. The influence of ... -
The potential for the use of waste products from a variety of sectors in water treatment processes.
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-07-21)This review examines the utilisation of waste products from three sectors (industry, agriculture, and construction and demolition) in filters for the removal of contaminants from water. Sand is commonly used in drinking ... -
Potential-based and non-potential-based cohesive zone formulations under mixed-mode separation and over-closure. Part I: Theoretical Analysis
(2013)This paper presents a thorough analysis of potential-based and non-potential-based cohesive zone models (CZMs) under conditions of mixed-mode separation and mixed-mode over-closure. Problems are identified with the well ... -
Potential-based and non-potential-based cohesive zone formulations under mixed-mode separation and over-closure. Part II: Finite element applications
(2013)This paper, the second of two parts, presents three novel finite element case studies to demonstrate the importance of normal-tangential coupling in cohesive zone models (CZMs) for the prediction of mixed-mode interface ... -
A practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay: numerical modelling
(IOS Press, 2015)In this paper, a practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay is presented using some novel procedures implemented in the finite element (FE) software package PLAXIS ... -
Practical aspects of video data transfer to network storage using 802.11 WLAN technology for low-end consumer digital cameras
(IEEE, 2003)The latest models of low-end consumer digital cameras have begun to support A/V streaming directly to memory card. This greatly enhances the utility of the camera to an end user. In this paper we investigate techniques ... -
A practical challenge for iris authentication on handheld imaging devices
(IEEE, 2015)Following on the introduction of fingerprint biometrics, iris authentication for handheld imaging devices has become a hot research topic. However widespread adoption of this technology faces a significant challenge as ... -
Pre-culture of mesenchymal stem cells within RGD-modified hyaluronic acid hydrogel improves their resilience to ischaemic conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-03-04)The incorporation of the RGD peptide (arginine-glycine-aspartate) into biomaterials has been proposed to promote cell adhesion to the matrix, which can influence and control cell behaviour and function. While many studies ... -
A precipitate evolution-based continuum damage mechanics model of creep behaviour in welded 9Cr steel at high temperature
(SAGE Publications, 2018-04-04)A multiaxial, physically based, continuum damage mechanics methodology for creep of welded 9Cr steels is presented, incorporating a multiple precipitate-type state variable, which simulates the effects of strain- and ... -
Predicting the propagation of concentration and saturation fronts in fixed-bed filters
(IWA Publishing, 2017-07-05)The phenomenon of adsorption is widely exploited across a range of industries to remove contaminants from gases and liquids. Much recent research has focused on identifying low-cost adsorbents which have the potential to ... -
Predicting the sensing radius of a coaxial probe based on the probe dimensions
