Performance of high-strength concrete composite columns subject to earthquake loading conditions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2011)Composite construction has been used in industry for decades due to superior load carrying capacity of the members compared with traditional reinforced concrete construction. A composite column is a structural member that ... -
Performance of Massive MIMO Self-Backhauling for Ultra-Dense Small Cell Deployments
(2018)A key aspect of the fifth-generation wireless communication network will be the integration of different services and technologies to provide seamless connectivity. In this paper, we consider using massive ... -
The pericellular environment regulates cytoskeletal development and the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and determines their response to hydrostatic pressure.
(2013)The objective of this study was to examine the interplay between matrix stiffness and hydrostatic pressure (HP) in regulating chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and to further elucidate the mechanotransductive ... -
Personal exposure to air pollution in office workers in Ireland: measurement, analysis and implications
(2013)An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin; Ireland. Two hundred and fifty five samples of 24 hour personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month ... -

A petrographic study of mortar hydraulicity.
(2008)The nature of the binder determines the mortar cohesiveness and its intrinsic bond, therefore it greatly impacts its physical properties and durability. In a binder, the hydrated material is mainly responsible for the ... -
A petrographic study of the technology of hydraulic mortars at masonry bridges, harbours and mill ponds.
(Galileo Editions, 2008)Masonry mortars for underwater works such as bridge piers, harbours and mill ponds are of hydraulic nature. This paper investigates the raw materials and production technology of a number of these mortars. It focuses on ... -
Phase Change Materials for Solar Energy Applications
(Central West Publishing, 2019)Increasing levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy dependency on other countries have brought governments to develop and improve various ways of producing energy. There are many different methods of renewable ... -
Phase coherence theory for data-mining and analysis: application studies in spectroscopy
(SPIE, 2005)The paper investigates from the perspective of computer science the phase coherence theory (PCT) and phase coherent data-scatter (PCD-S). These techniques were originally developed for the area of optical tensiographic ... -
Phase space Langevin equation for spin relaxation in a dc magnetic field
(IOP Publishing, 2009)A Langevin equation for the quantum Brownian motion of a spin of arbitrary size in a uniform external dc magnetic field is derived from the phase space master equation in the weak coupling and narrowing limits, for the ... -
Phase space master equations for quantum Brownian motion in a periodic potential: comparison of various kinetic models
(2011)The dynamics of quantum Brownian particles in a cosine periodic potential are studied using the phase space formalism associated with the Wigner representation of quantum mechanics. Various kinetic phase space master ... -
Phase-space equilibrium distributions and their applications to spin systems with nonaxially symmetric Hamiltonians
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)The Fourier series representation of the equilibrium quasiprobability density function WS(theta,phi) or Wigner function of spin ?orientations? for arbitrary spin Hamiltonians in a representation (phase) space of the polar ... -
Phase-space formulation of the nonlinear longitudinal relaxation of the magnetization in quantum spin systems
(American Physical Society, 2007)Nonlinear longitudinal relaxation of a spin in a uniform external dc magnetic field is treated using a master equation for the quasiprobability distribution function of spin orientations in the configuration space of polar ... -
Physical properties of magnesian lime mortars
(2010)Magnesian lime is made from dolomitic limestone. The properties of magnesian lime mortars are not yet clearly established: some authors claim that Mg-lime has no hydraulicity and produces poor quality mortars that fracture, ... -
Physical modeling of turbulence wind field for wind turbines
(2023)Wind load is one of the most important dynamic excitations of wind turbine systems, reasonable description and simulation of turbulence wind field lays a significant foundation for the elaborative dynamic response analysis ... -
Physical properties and reactivity of pozzolans, and their influence on the properties of lime-pozzolan pastes
(2011)This paper studies how pozzolan properties including particle size, specific surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water demand, affect their reactivity as well as the strength of lime?pozzolan pastes. ... -
Physically driven full probabilistic uncertainty propagation in complex nonlinear structures
(2023)The safety and reliability evaluation of complex engineering structures under dynamic loading conditions has long been a challenging problem. The coupling of nonlinearity and randomness in high-dimensional or large-degre ...
