Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ... -
Langevin Dynamics for Importance Sampling in Reliability Analysis
(2023)Importance Sampling (IS) is a popular simulation method for the reliability analysis of general engineering systems. Its core idea is to build a biased density that can sample from the failure domain more frequently than ... -
Large electroclinic effect and stability of chiral smectic liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2009)Large electroclinic effect in the smectic-A* phase and stability of smectic-C* variant phases are investigated in detail. Investigation of large electroclinic effect in the smectic-A* phase is one of the recent topics, and ... -
Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search
(2019)Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that ... -
Large scale compound parabolic concentrator for building integrated façade
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)This thesis presents the design, fabrication, performance and analysis of two façade integrated compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) for two different locations: Ferrara, Italy and Mayo Ireland. The research involves ... -
Layer-specific stem cell differentiation in tri-layered tissue engineering biomaterials: Towards development of a single-stage cell-based approach for osteochondral defect repair
(2021)Successful repair of osteochondral defects is challenging, due in part to their complex gradient nature. Tissue engineering approaches have shown promise with the development of layered scaffolds that aim to promote cartilage ... -
Lean energy : a methodology to characterise and optimise energy consumption within manufacturing lines
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)With an ongoing increase in industrial energy demand anticipated in Europe over the next twenty years, energy efficiency continues to be an important focus within industrial environments. As consumer products have become ... -
Learning and Reasoning in Cognitive Radio Networks
(2013)Cognitive radio networks challenge the traditional wireless networking paradigm by introducing concepts firmly stemmed into the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field, i.e., learning and reasoning. This fosters optimal resource ... -
Learning Nash Equilibria in Distributed Channel Selection for Frequency-Agile Radios
(2012)Wireless communication networks are evolving towards self- configuring, autonomous and distributed multiagent systems in which nodes are deployed randomly and have to adapt to the en- vironment in which they operate. A ... -
LEGO MINDSTORMS AS A TEACHING TOOL IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
(2010)The primary purpose of this paper is the development of an active-learning, constructivist coursework plan, adhering to the Conceive Design Implement Operate (CDIO) initiative, for integration with the standard second level ... -
Leveraging data-driven approaches to explore the effect of various disaster policies on post-earthquake household relocation decision making
(2023)Earthquake events can cause affected households to relocate. Post-earthquake relocation disrupts displaced householdsﾒ social ties as well as their access to affordable services. Simulation models that capture post-earthquake ... -
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA) OF A NEWLY DESIGNED METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS: MAPS (METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING POWDER SHEETS)
(2024)Additive manufacturing (AM), a transformative technology in modern manufacturing, offers design freedom and reduced material waste. However, understanding the environmental impacts of AM processes is imperative for sustainable ... -
Life Quality Index for Optimizing a Safety Improvement Program
(2023)The Life Quality Index (LQI), a composite social indicator, was proposed as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in safety measures to enhance life quality. In the structural reliability field, the life ... -
Life-Cycle Residual Performance Assessment of Concrete Bridges Considering Spatial Variability of Corrosion
(2023)A recent SEI/ASCE survey highlights that advanced life-cycle models for deteriorating structures are well established for some of the most detrimental damage processes (e.g. corrosion). However, reliability assessment ...
