PALM: A Personal Activity Location Model of Exposure to Air Pollution
(Irish Epa, 2015) -
Parallel implementation of a transport network model
(Elsevier, 2005)This paper describes the parallel implementation of a transport network model. A `Single-Program, Multiple Data? (SPMD) paradigm is employed using a simple data decomposition approach where each processor runs the same ... -
Particulate phosphorus and suspended solids losses from small agricultural catchments: links to stream and catchment characteristics.
(2019)Excessive phosphorus (P) inputs from agriculture are well established as a contributor to freshwater eutrophication. Decreasing these inputs is an important step in improving the ecological state of impaired waters. ... -
Passenger Requirements of a Public Transport Ticketing System
(2005)Currently in Dublin the system of public transport ticketing is under review and there are plans to introduce a multi-modal, multi-operator ticketing system. It is planned that this system would be operated via smart card ... -
Pathways to decarbonising the transport sector: The impacts of electrifying taxi fleets
(2023)The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge to introduce policies aiming to limit the increasing temperature. One of the strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion ... -
Peat Improvement Under Vacuum Preloading: A Novel Approach for Bog Roads in Ireland
(2010)This paper presents the preliminary findings of a TCD/NRA vacuum preloading field trial which is part of a research project into construction options for improving rampart roads. Vacuum preloading is a construction method ... -
Performance of embankments on soft ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(CRC Press/Balkema, Leiden, Netherlands, 2008) -
Performance of Embankments on Soft Ground: A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK
(2008)This paper presents the response of the ground foundation during the construction of the approach embankments to a new flyover at Salt End junction, A1033 Hedon Road Improvement Scheme, UK. The site area was underlain by ... -
Personal exposure to air pollution in office workers in Ireland: measurement, analysis and implications
(2013)An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin; Ireland. Two hundred and fifty five samples of 24 hour personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month ... -
A petrographic study of mortar hydraulicity.
(2008)The nature of the binder determines the mortar cohesiveness and its intrinsic bond, therefore it greatly impacts its physical properties and durability. In a binder, the hydrated material is mainly responsible for the ... -
A petrographic study of the technology of hydraulic mortars at masonry bridges, harbours and mill ponds.
(Galileo Editions, 2008)Masonry mortars for underwater works such as bridge piers, harbours and mill ponds are of hydraulic nature. This paper investigates the raw materials and production technology of a number of these mortars. It focuses on ... -
Phase Change Materials for Solar Energy Applications
(Central West Publishing, 2019)Increasing levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy dependency on other countries have brought governments to develop and improve various ways of producing energy. There are many different methods of renewable ... -
Physical properties of magnesian lime mortars
(2010)Magnesian lime is made from dolomitic limestone. The properties of magnesian lime mortars are not yet clearly established: some authors claim that Mg-lime has no hydraulicity and produces poor quality mortars that fracture, ... -
Physical properties and reactivity of pozzolans, and their influence on the properties of lime-pozzolan pastes
(2011)This paper studies how pozzolan properties including particle size, specific surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water demand, affect their reactivity as well as the strength of lime?pozzolan pastes. ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Network surrogate model for bypassing Blade Element Momentum theory in wind turbine aerodynamic load estimation
(2024)This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex ...
