The safety challenge of increased cycling
(2014)Many countries have recently set out policy frameworks to support the growth of cycling. However, increased cycling can mean more collisions, injuries and even fatalities. This paper discusses ... -
Salt Weathering on Buildings and Stone Sculptures.
(2008)This paper concentrates in the phenomenon of sulfate formation within an old cement paste dating from c.1878, leading to damage of the mortar and its adjacent masonry. Samples of mortar and salt efflorescence were taken ... -
A sampling based approach to line scratch removal from motion picture frames
(IEEE, 1996)We address the problem of detecting, and subsequently removing, `line scratch' distortion in motion picture frames. A model for the lines' interaction with the image data is constructed. A sampling based algorithm based ... -
Scaling of Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement Due to Flow Pulsation in an Axisymmetric Impinging Jet
(2013)Impinging jets are widely used to achieve a high local convective heat flux, with applications in high power density electronics and various other industrial fields. The heat transfer to steady impinging jets has been ... -
The Scissors Model of Microcrack Detection in Bone: Work in Progress
(2010)We have proposed a new model for microcrack detection by osteocytes in bone. According to this model, cell signalling is initiated by the cutting of cellular processes which span the crack. We show that shear displacements ... -
SDR for opportunistic use of UMTS licensed bands
(2006)The UMTS radio frequency spectrum is a highly expensive commodity. While the UMTS standards make very efficient use of the allocated bands there is however opportunity for further advancements. This paper focuses on ... -
Segmentation and inpainting for stereoscopic videos
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2015) -
Seismic reliability assessment of ageing integral bridges
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2014)This thesis carries out a tune dependent seismic risk assessment of ageing integral bridges as well as providing a comparison between the seismic performance of integral and jointed bridges. -
Selection of informative monitoring techniques for bridge-performance evaluations
(2023)Decisions regarding the management of civil infrastructure are becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is presently approaching what is often considered to be the end of their theoretical service duration. ... -
Selection of Near-Fault Physics-Based Simulated Earthquake Ground Motions for Seismic Performance Assessment of Structures
(2023)Selection of earthquake records for seismic performance assessment of near-fault structures is challenging because (1) earthquake-induced ground shaking in the near-fault region is highly sensitive to the fault rupture ... -
Semi-active vibration control of wind turbine blades using a time-frequency approach
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2010)This thesis proposes the use of structural control devices to mitigate the response of wind turbines, particularly the blades. Theoretical and experimental investigations have been carried out to ascertain the effectiveness ... -
Sequence of Four Orthogonal Smectic Phases in an Achiral Bent-Core Liquid Crystal: Evidence for the SmAP(alpha) Phase
(2011)The mesomorphic properties of an achiral bent-core liquid crystal derived from 4-cyanoresorcinol are studied by polarizing optical microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and second harmonic electro-optic response. It shows a novel ... -
Sequential decision making in infrastructure planning under uncertain climate change predictions
(2023)Engineering decisions, as those related to infrastructure planning, face challenges due to the uncertain climate change predictions. Instead of a rigid planning scheme, an alternative is to utilize an adaptive framework, ... -
Shape models for image segmentation in microscopy

Shape-memory porous alginate scaffolds for regeneration of the annulus fibrosus - Effect of TGF-β3 supplementation and oxygen culture conditions
(2014)Disc herniation as a result of degenerative or traumatic injury is believed to be the primary instigator of low back pain. At present there is a lack of viable treatment options to repair damaged annulus fibrosus tissue ... -
Shear Layer Driven Acoustic Modes in a Cylindrical Cavity (AIAA 2010-3903)
(2010)Coherence based source analysis techniques can be used to identify the contribution of broadband noise sources in the exhaust of a gas turbine and hence enable the design of noise reduction devices. However, when the ...
