On the Modeling of Spar-type Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
(2013-07)In this paper an overview about floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) including operating conditions, property and applicability of the barge, tension-leg, and spar floating platforms is described. The spar-floating ... -
Nonlinear Damage Identification in Fiber-reinforced Cracked Composite Beams through Time-space Wavelet Analysis
(2014)It is well-known that wavelet analysis is, in the space domain, an efficient way to determinate the damage location (Pakrashi et al., 2007; Loutridis et al., 2004), while, in the time domain, it is an efficient tool to ... -
Short-Term Forecasting of Bicycle Traffic Using Structural Time Series Models
(2014)Short term forecasting algorithms are widely used for prediction of vehicular traffic flows for adaptive traffic management. However, despite the increasing interest in the promotion of cycling in cities, little ... -
Quantification of submarine/intertidal groundwater discharge and nutrient loading from a lowland karst catchment.
(2014)Summary Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognised to be a process of significant importance to coastal systems and is of increasing interest within oceanographic and hydrologic research communities. However, ... -
Analysing the usage of a segregated interurban cycleway (Greenway) in Ireland
(2012)This paper analyses the usage of a pilot greenway in a rural environment in Ireland. The path is 42 km long and has several settlements and schools located along the route. A survey was conducted in five schools along ... -
Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual Applied to a Bus Corridor in Dublin, Ireland

Audio noise mapping for virtual urban simulations: enhancing public awareness
(2007)One of the key difficulties with urban environmental noise mapping is disseminating results from noise studies in a manner that is easily under stood by the general public. Indeed, it is one of the requirements of the ... -
Examining the Optimal Fuel Type for Urban Bus Operations
(2010)Public service fleets offer an attractive option for introducing renewable fuels and alternative technologies on a large scale, which allow for the reduction of both greenhouse gas emissions and exhaust air pollutants. ... -
Examining the Potential Impacts of Introducing a Cap and Share Scheme in Ireland
(2011)A cap and share scheme is a policy whereby a cap or limit is placed on national carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and individuals are allocated an annual CO2 allowance. This paper examines some of the potential impacts of ...
