Pathway to Demonstrating Clinical Efficacy of MIcrowave Breast Imaging: Qualitative and Quantitative Performance Assessment
(2022)n the last five years alone, there has been an increasing number of operational microwave breast imaging systems used in clinical trials, with increasingly large and diverse patient populations. However, despite this ... -
Pathways to decarbonising the transport sector: The impacts of electrifying taxi fleets
(2023)The impacts of climate change have prompted governments to pledge to introduce policies aiming to limit the increasing temperature. One of the strategies involves reducing and, eventually, eliminating internal combustion ... -
A patient adapting heartbeat classifier using ECG morphology and heart-beat interval features
(IEEE, 2006)An adaptive system for the automatic processing of the electrocardiogram (ECG) for the classification of heartbeats into one of the five beat classes recommended by ANSI/AAMI EC57:1998 standard is presented. The heartbeat ... -
Pattern and Polarization Diversity Multi-Sector Annular Antenna for IoT Applications
(IEEE, 2023)This work proposes a small pattern and polarization diversity multi-sector annular antenna with electrical size and profile of ka = 1.2lambda and 0.018lambda, respectively. The antenna is planar and comprises annular sectors ... -
Peat Improvement Under Vacuum Preloading: A Novel Approach for Bog Roads in Ireland
(2010)This paper presents the preliminary findings of a TCD/NRA vacuum preloading field trial which is part of a research project into construction options for improving rampart roads. Vacuum preloading is a construction method ... -
Pedestrian Risk from Cars and Sport Utility Vehicles - A Comparative Analytical Study
(2006)Analysis of real-world crash data from the USA shows that 11.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by large sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are killed, compared with 4.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by passenger cars. The ... -
Pedestrian whole body ground contact mechanisms and head injury assessment following vehicle impact
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2020)According to the WHO, there are an estimated 1.35 million road-traffic related deaths each year, with pedestrians constituting approximately 22% of this figure, which justifies the necessity of research into vehicle-pedestrian ... -
PEDOT:PSS interfaces stabilised using a PEGylated crosslinker yield improved conductivity and biocompatibility.
(2019)The rapidly expanding fields of bioelectronics, and biological interfaces with electronic sensors and stimulators, are placing an increasing demand on candidate materials to serve as robust surfaces that are both biocompatible, ... -
Perceived Audio Quality for Streaming Stereo Music.
(2014)Users of audio-visual streaming services expect an ever increasing quality of experience. Channel bandwidth remains a bottleneck commonly addressed with lossy compression schemes for both the video and audio streams. ... -
Perception of true linear self-motion using vestibular stimulation in humans : a mathametical electrophysiological analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2013)In humans, the percept of motion is a combination ol multiple sensors modalities, primarily involving vestibular, visual and somatosensory (Ohmi, 1996). The ability to properly perceive motion enables us to function normally ... -
Perceptually motivated audio time-frequency analysis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2001)Fourier analysis has long been an indispensable tool for the investigation of signals whose frequency content does not change with time. It has likewise been of fundamental importance in engineering for the study of linear ... -
Performance analysis of a prototype small scale electricity-producing biomass cooking stove
(2015)An electrical generator has been integrated with a locally produced, biomass-fed clay cooking stove in rural Malawi. The generator produces small amounts of electricity based on the thermoelectric effect. Five demonstrator ... -
Performance characterization of Ni60-WC coating on steel processed with supersonic laser deposition
(2015)Ni60-WC particles are used to improve the wear resistance of hard-facing steel due to their high hardness. An emerging technology that combines laser with cold spraying to deposit the hard-facing coatings is known as ... -
Performance evaluation of thermoelectric generators under cyclic heating
(2021)The effect of thermal cycling on thermoelectric generator (TEG) performance is investigated for six nominally identical samples subjected to the same heating cycle profile. All TEGs experienced performance degradation, ... -
PERFORMANCE OF A CLOSED CYCLE POWER TAKE OFF FOR MUTRIKU BREAKWATER
(2022)An oscillating water column (OWC) type wave energy converter was installed in Mutriku breakwater (Basque Country, Spain). The wave power is transferred to an air flow that turns a turbine. The facility currently uses ... -
Performance of a Closed Cycle Power Takeoff for a Shore-Based Wave Energy Device
(2023)A promising class of devices for ocean wave energy conversion is called the oscillating water column in which the wave power is transferred to an airflow that rotates a turbine. A closed cycle power takeoff (CCPTO), in ... -
