Innovation of a micro-hydropower turbine to recover energy from water distribution networks : exploration of a design and identification of its economic and environmental value
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2016)Energy consumption in water distribution networks (WDNs) is a widely publicised problem, one which results in the industry contributing high carbon emissions to the environment. Ways in which the carbon emissions of the ... -
Optimization of vehicle front shape for pedestrian protection
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2017)The design of a vehicle front has a significant influence on pedestrian injury risk in the event of a vehicle collision. Although significant progress has been made in understanding which features of vehicle design are ... -
Bi-stable flow in tube arrays
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)An experimental study of bi-stable flow has been performed. Three tube array geometries were used; two normal triangular tube arrays with pitch-to-diameter ratios (P/d) of 1.32 and 1.58 and a parallel triangular tube array ... -
Unique relationship between optimum compaction properties of fine-grained soils across rational compactive efforts: a validation study
(2024)Among the many proposals for estimating the compaction characteristics of fine-grained soils for different compaction energy levels (CELs), energy conversion (EC) models are gaining increased attention. These models work ... -
Electrospray cooling and droplet evaporation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Spray cooling utilises liquid-gas phase transition for highly efficient thermal dissipation. Electrospraying is a method of fluid atomisation by electrostatic means and has applications in colloidal propulsion, mass ... -
An integrated water resources, climate and land use changes model for Shannon River catchment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2017)The main goal of this research is to create an innovative and integrated environmental modelling framework and tool by applying Machine Learning Techniques to a Geographic Information system (GIS). This will allow the ... -
Scaling wireless network capacity through ultra-dense small-cell deployment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2017)Cell densification is foreseen as one of the main solutions to the capacity crunch problem of wireless networks. Based on the deployment of large number of low power base stations, this solution leverages the density of ... -
On the effects of resource sharing on mobile network deployment decisions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016)The explosion of data demand, market saturation, increasing competition and consiquent rapid price drops in mobile communications contributed to lower profit margins for mobile network operators, forcing them to seek ways ... -
Integrating non-viral gene therapy and 3D bioprinting for bone, cartilage and osteochondral tissue engineering
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2017)The repair of osteochondral defects, affecting both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone, is key for the effective recovery of joint homeostasis and the prevention of further cartilage degeneration ... -
Reading between the lines : modelling and recognition of paralinguistic phenomena
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2016)The ability to understand the paralinguistic content of speech is central to the design of more natural human computer interfaces [106]. In this thesis we explore the detection of two types of speaker traits, emotion and ... -
Probing the role of joint specific environmental cues in guiding stem cell fate
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Due to their relative ease of isolation, ability to proliferate extensively in vitro and to differentiate along multiple lineage pathways, mesenchymal stem cells / multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising cell type ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of a Photovoltaic/Thermal/Phase Change Material System
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2016)Hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems generate both electricity and heat simultaneously. Typically 15 - 18 % of solar radiation incident on a PV module is converted to electricity and 82 - 85 % is converted to heat. ... -
Validity of GPS data in driving cycles
(2024)There is continuous research into driving cycles (DCs) as researchers across the globe seek to define driving characteristics, energy consumption, and emissions in a local context. For decades, data collection for the ... -
