Method for estimating corrosion of underground pipes based on inspection data of telecommunication facilities
(2023)An extended period has passed since many infrastructures have been constructed, and it is crucial issue for infrastructure to be aged. Corrosion of steel materials has a significant impact on infrastructure, so accurate ... -
A Method for Optimal Reconstruction of Velocity Response Using Experimental Displacement and Acceleration Signals
(2007)An algorithm is developed which takes advantage of the positive characteristics of integration and differentiation operations which can produce an optimal time-domain estimate of a velocity signal when a displacement and ... -
A method for source-microphone range estimation in reverberant environments, using an array of microphones of unknown relative position
(IEEE, 2006)Estimating the range between an acoustic source and a microphone is a central problem in microphone-array processing. Although many approaches have been proposed in the literature, these tend to require knowledge of the ... -
A Method of Proactive MANET Routing Protocol Evaluation Applied to the OLSR Protocol
(2011)Traditional evaluation studies of MANET routing protocols have concentrated on quantitative, traffic-based metrics like throughput and packet loss. These metrics provide a lim- ited evaluation of protocol performance ... -
A method of producing a composition comprising calcium aluminate
(European (EPO) Patent Application, European (EPO) Patent Application, 2023)The present invention relates to method of producing a composition comprising calcium aluminate. Also disclosed are compositions comprising calcium aluminate obtained from the methods and their use as binders, cements, ... -
Method to compare water content values determined on the basis of different oven drying temperatures

Methods of signal processing applied to speech and language for objective assessment of cognitive function in ageing and psychiatry
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2014)Ageing is associated with a change in cognitive function. Impaired cognitive function is the biggest limiting factor to independence in older adults. Cognitive decline does not appear suddenly, but occurs gradually over ... -
Micro-Analysis of the Fueling Costs of Electric Vehicles in Consideration of the Range of Options Available to Electric Vehicle Users
(2019)It is common knowledge that the costs of powering electric vehicles (EV) are less than the fuelling costs of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) due to the relative per-unit prices of electricity and gasoline, ... -
Micro-Raman and spreading resistance analysis on bevelled implanted germanium for layer transfer applications
(2011)Raman and spreading resistance profiling have been used to analyze defects in germanium caused by hydrogen and helium implants, of typical fluences used in layer transfer applications. Beveling has been used to facilitate ... -
Micro-raman investigation of si, ge and carbon related nanostructures
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2010)The degradation in performance of silicon devices with scaling caused by fundamental silicon material limitations by the year of 2020 is forcing the semiconductor industry to consider extraordinary materials to replace ... -
Microcracks and the fatigue behaviour of compact bone
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2001)Microcracking in bone acts as a stimulus for bone remodelling, contributes to the loss of bone quality in osteoporosis and is thought to play a major role in both fragility and stress fractures. This study seeks to refine ... -
Micromechanical modelling of normal, drug treated and osteoporotic bone using scanning acoustic microsopy and finite element analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)Ultrasonic methods were exclusively used to image cortical bone at high resolutions. A scanning acoustic microscope was used at a frequency of 150 MHz giving a resolution of 20μm. Images were taken of ovine bone samples ... -
Micromobility and public transport integration: the current state of knowledge
(2020)Cities globally are grappling with the negative externalities of car travel and are therefore striving to move towards a more sustainable urban transportation system. The introduction and popularity of new personal transport ... -
Microphone array processing techniques for classroom-based videoconferencing
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2008)This thesis is concerned with the design and development of microphone-array-processing techniques for videoconferencing applications in classroom environments. We argue that, in such environments, it is advantageous in ... -
Microphone array techniques for aeroacoustics
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2001)The capacity for source localisation and measurement in aeroacoustics can be enhanced through the use of a microphone array. Although arrays have been used in a variety of applications, there are a number of problems ... -
Microphone Arrays as a Leakage Detection Tool in Industrial Compressed Air Systems
(2012)Compressed air energy is expensive, but common in industrial manufacturing plant. However, a significant part of the generated compressed air energy is lost due to leakage. Best practice requires ongoing leak detection and ... -
Microplastics in soils: an environmental geotechnics perspective
(2021)Microplastics (MPs) are emerging persistent contaminants in the terrestrial subsurface, and evidence has emerged for significant effects of MPs on the biological and ecosystem functions of soils. Main MP sources include ... -
Microscopic models for dielectric relaxation in disordered systems
(American Physical Society, 2004)It is shown how the Debye rotational diffusion model of dielectric relaxation of polar molecules (which may be described in microscopic fashion as the diffusion limit of a discrete time random walk on the surface of ... -
Microsecond linear optical response in the unusual nematic phase of achiral bimesogens
(2011)Some hydrocarbon linked mesogenic dimers are known to exhibit an additional nematic phase (N(x)) below a conventional uniaxial nematic (N(u)) phase. Although composed of non-chiral molecules, the N(x) phase is found to ... -
Microstructural and mechanical insight into atherosclerotic plaques: an ex vivo DTI study to better assess plaque vulnerability
