Local NO2 concentrations and asthma among over-50s in Ireland: A microdata analysis
(2021)Background: Links between air pollution and asthma are less well established for older adults than some younger groups. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are widely used as an indicator of transport-related air pollution, ... -
Long-Term Durability and Mechanical Performance of Alkali-Activated, Slag Cements
(2021)Alkali activated (AA) cements are considered less harmful to the environment than Portland cements (PC), as they consist of a silicate waste in lieu of a PC clinker, and this implies lower green-house gas emissions and ... -
Machine learning for prediction of undrained shear strength from cone penetration test data
(2023)Being widely employed in the design phase of many large-scale infrastructure projects, the shear strength of soil has always been one of the most important parameters in geotechnical engineering. Many methods have been ... -
Maintenance Planning for Bridges using Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning
(2023)The planning of interventions on transportation infrastructures commonly faces multiple challenges, mainly relating to complexity and scale [1]. Those challenges stem from the uncertainties surrounding infrastructures ... -
MAPPING AND MONITORING HEALTH CONDITIONS OF WETLANDS USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2021)Wetlands provide essential ecosystem services for the world, but in recent years, due to direct human activities as well as global warming and other climatic variations, there has been significant ongoing reductions in ... -
Material Characterization of Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers for Solar Cells Application
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)High energy photons in the UV region are not efficiently used in solar cells and limit the overall efficiency of the cell. Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layers can be used to convert the high energy photons to a lower ... -
Material Flow Accounting in an Irish City-Region 1992-2002
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper aims to measure raw material inputs and waste flows in an Irish city-region in order to analyse (i) whether there was absolute dematerialisation in the particular case-study over the period 1992-2002 and (ii) ... -
Measuring access to urban centres in rural Northeast Brazil: a spatial accessibility poverty index
(2020)This study proposes two innovative methods to measure transport-related exclusion in rural areas caused by the lack of access to basic opportunities (e.g. healthcare, education, jobs, etc). The Spatial Accessibility Poverty ... -
Measuring network reliability by considering paradoxes
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)Traditionally, game theoretic approaches to measuring transport network reliability have relied on the outcome of a game played between network users seeking to minimize their travel costs and an OD-specific demon that ... -
Measuring network reliability considering paradoxes: multiple network demon approach
(Transportation Research Board, 2009)Traditionally, game theoretic approaches to measuring transport network reliability have relied on the outcome of a game played between network users seeking to minimize their travel costs and an OD-specific demon that ... -
Measuring risk of attack on bus networks
(2008)Public transport systems are at risk from attacks as they are open, dynamic systems carrying large numbers of people. Although attacks have been carried out on public transport since the 1920?s, the nature of attacks has ... -
Measuring the design of empathetic buildings: a review of universal design evaluation methods
(2016)Purpose: Universal design (UD) provides an explanation of good design based on the user perspective, which are outlined through its principles, goals, and related frameworks. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview ... -
Measuring the equity impacts of government subsidies for electric vehicles
(2022)A shift to electric vehicles (EV) is seen as one of the main methods to decarbonise the transportation sector. However, issues have also been raised regarding charging infrastructure, EV reliability and range, as well ...
