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 ... -
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 ... -

Lime mortars for masonry repair: Analytical science and laboratory testing versus practical experience
(2006)This paper addresses the decay and performance of lime mortars used for repairs to masonry fabrics. It sets out how analytical science, laboratory testing and practical experience contribute to the diagnosis of mortar ... -
Limestone-filled, hydraulic-lime mortars for historic and traditional fabrics
(2019)Hydraulic lime (HL) mortars are considered compatible with historic fabrics and used in repairs. They consist of lime and clinkers (mainly belite). As belite hydrates slowly, some HLs develop strength for up to a year. ... -
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 ... -
Loss impact factors for lifetime seismic loss assessment of steel concentrically braced frames designed to EC8
(2019)This study employs multiple earthquake time-history response simulations, and the FEMA P-58 performance assessment methodology to evaluate the influence of key design parameters on the lifetime seismic repair costs incurred ... -
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 ...
