An evaluation of the efficacy of a contemporary engineering education framework
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The research aims to determine the role of cognitive abilities in problem solving in engineering education. The investigation of these abilities will contribute to a key objective of the research, informing curricular ...
Implicit theories of intelligence in STEM education: perspectives through the lens of technology education students.
(Springer, 2019)
The educational significance of eliciting students’ implicit theories of intelligence
is well established with the majority of this work focussing on theories regarding
entity and incremental beliefs. However, a second ...
Investigating perceptions of intelligence as an approach to understanding female representation in technology and engineering education.
(TERG, 2019-06)
Gender representation in technology and engineering education is generally not equitable with females being underrepresented in many areas (e.g. Sultan, Axell, & Hallström, 2018; Yoder, 2017). While there are many perspectives ...
Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
(EuroDyn, 2011-07)
The characteristic vertical vibration of a flexible footbridge subject to crowd loading is examined in this paper.
Typically, bridge vibrations produced from a crowd of pedestrians are estimated by using an enhancement ...
A semantically automated protocol adapter for mapping SOAP web services to RESTful HTTP format to enable the web infrastructure, enhance web services interoperability and ease web service migration
(MDPI, 2012-04-11)
Semantic Web Services (SWS) are Web Service (WS) descriptions augmented with semantic information. SWS enable intelligent reasoning and automation in areas such as service discovery, composition, mediation, ranking and ...
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)
The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the
past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ...
The impact foot landing position (FLP) has on the simulation of medio-lateral pedestrian loading.
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
The issue of Medial-lateral loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers since the London Millennium Bridge incidence 12 years ago where the bridge vibrated excessively ...
A flow based architecture for efficient distribution of vehicular information in smart cities
(IEEE, 2019-10-22)
The Introduction of the Internet of Things has made the
vision of “Smart Cities” a very reachable goal. Aggregating data
from a wealth of sensors throughout a city, with the aim of
improving quality of life for its ...
Evaluation of corrosion-resistant basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer bars and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grid reinforcement to replace steel in precast concrete underground utility vaults.
(Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2016-09)
Underground utility vaults are widely used to house
utilities and are conventionally designed using steel
reinforcement. These structures are often designed
with thicker cover concrete in an attempt to prevent the
corrosion ...
Nonlinear finite element of FRP reinforced concrete structures.
(BCRI, 2012-09)
reinforcement is a non-corrosive alternative to steel and is gaining popularity for use in reinforced concrete
structures exposed to corrosive environments. A major difference between the two reinforcing materials is their ...
