Changes in core temperature during an elite female rugby sevens tournament
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: To characterize player core temperature (Tc) across a World Rugby Women's Sevens Series tournament day (WRWSS) and determine the efficacy of commonly employed cold-water-immersion (CWI) protocols. Methods: Tc was ...
Pharmacological hypotheses: Is acetaminophen selective in its cyclooxygenase inhibition?
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2021 , Article)
The precise mechanistic action of acetaminophen (ACT; paracetamol) remains debated. ACT’s analgesic and antipyretic actions are attributed to cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition preventing prostaglandin (PG) synthesis. Two COX ...
Optimising stop-bands in periodic waveguides using genetic algorithms and wave finite element method
(
American Institute of Physics
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose using the wave finite element method and genetic algorithms to design periodic waveguide structures with optimal stop-bands. Instead of modelling waveguides using the standard finite element method, ...
Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
(
World Scientific
, 2020 , Article)
Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Reconstruction of Road Defects from Dynamic Vehicle Accelerations by Using the Artificial Neural Networks
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring of roads is considered the first step in establishing a successful road maintenance program, which includes scheduling adequate maintenance to a certain road section at the right time. Road monitoring assesses ...
Investigating the effect of using softer rail-pads on ground-borne vibration from underground railways
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a series of vibration measurements were performed on a section of one of the lines of the Doha Metro to explore the effect of changing rail-pads from conventional higher stiffness under-rail pads to lower ...
Road Profile Estimation Using Full/Quarter-Car Model with Artificial Neural Networks
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
The monitoring of road roughness is one of the first and most critical steps in road maintenance. Road networks need constant maintenance to function properly and avoid any hazardous accidents or blockage of the traffic ...
A MEASUREMENT CAMPAIGN TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF USING SOFT RAILPADS ON GROUND-BORNE VIBRATIONS FROM UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS
(
Society of Acoustics
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Railway networks may run through or beneath populated regions and significant landmarks. Hence, the ground-borne vibration caused by the trains might affect nearby buildings, residents, and the sensitive equipment within ...
Classification of Process Pipework Vibration Using Machine Learning
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
This paper aims to use a deep convolution neural network (CNN) to classify pipework vibrations. Vibration levels are a good indicator of the risk of vibration-induced fatigue failures (VIF). Vibrations in pipework are very ...
Experimental detection of localized surface defects in ball bearings using vibration analysis
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This study aimed at the monitoring of bearing health condition, based on vibration measurement. For that purpose, small circular defects were seeded on outer and inner rings of similar bearings, by using the principle of ...
