Development of the large-tonnage pressure-type prestressed anchor cable with BFRP for geotechnical engineering and its mechanical properties
(Wiley/Hindawi, 2022)
Prestressed anchor cable is widely used in geotechnical engineering to control the displacement or landslide of an unstable slope.
However, the traditional cable anchor is made of steel material, which is easy to get rust ...
Digital transformation of peatland eco-innovations (‘Paludiculture’): Enabling a paradigm shift towards the real-time sustainable production of ‘green-friendly’ products and services
(Elsevier, 2022-05-29)
The world is heading in the wrong direction on carbon emissions where we are not on track to limit global warming to
1.5 °C; Ireland is among the countries where overall emissions have continued to rise. The development ...
A survey of modern deep learning based object detection models
(Elsevier, 2022-06-30)
Object Detection is the task of classification and localization of objects in an image or video. It has gained prominence in recent years due to its widespread applications. This article surveys recent developments in deep ...
Formulation and evaluation of Fenbendazole extended-release extrudes processed by hot-melt extrusion
(MDPI, 2022-10-06)
This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of hot-melt extrusion in the development of
extended-release formulations of Fenbendazole (Fen) dispersed in PEO/PCL blend-based matrices.
Their thermal, physical, chemical ...
Turning agricultural waste into wealth: production of sustainable cellulose for hydroponic farming
(Technological University of the Shannon Midlands Midwest, 2022)
Globally, it is estimated that approximately 998 million of agricultural wasteis produced yearly. This enormous amount of waste has become a matter of great public concern. However, agricultural waste is a natural resource ...
Ganodiesel: a new biodiesel feedstock from biomass of the mushroom Ganoderma lucidum
(MDPI, 2022-08-29)
There is a pressing demand for new sustainable eco-friendly approaches to producing
green energy worldwide. This study represents the novel production of biodiesel feedstock from
the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum ...
Lower critical solution temperature tuning and swelling behaviours of NVCL-based hydrogels for potential 4DF printing applications.
(MDPI, 2022-08-02)
The phase transitions of poly (N-vinyl caprolactam) (PNVCL) hydrogels are currently
under investigation as possible materials for biomedical applications thanks to their thermosensitive
properties. This study aims to use ...
Zero-padding and spatial augmentation-based gas sensor node optimization approach in resource-constrained 6G-IoT paradigm
(MDPI, 2022-04-15)
Ultra-low-power is a key performance indicator in 6G-IoT ecosystems. Sensor nodes in this eco-system are also capable of running light-weight artificial intelligence (AI) models. In this work, we have achieved high performance ...
Functionality of gold-edge-coated triangular silver nanoparticles in monitoring extracellular matrix protein conformations in C2C12/MC3T3-E1 culture in the presence of biomimetic bone tissue regeneration scaffolds
(TUS Midlands Midwest, 2022)
In the cellular environment high
noise levels can both mediate and
interfere with cellular functions.The extracellular matrix (ECM)
regulates protein dynamics and
trajectories, which underpin
critical biological ...
Optimization of Ethereum transaction and block delivery performance
(2022)
Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger. It is a chain of blocks. Each block contains a series of transactions. Each transaction
is for a value transfer or a smart contract execution. The main purpose of the blockchain ...
