Surveys and inventories of the built environment have improved the understanding of the state of existing heritage structures and historic districts and assisted in their preservation by thorough and consistent documentation. ...
We show that Slepian’s Variant I permutation codes implement first-order perfect steganography (i.e., histogram-preserving steganography). We give theoretical expressions for the embedding distortion, embedding rate and ...
A contingent valuation survey was undertaken to estimate the public benefits of landscape changes that could arise from reductions in grazing levels using the example of the Central Southern Uplands of Scotland. A dichotomous ...
The positivity preserving property for the biharmonic operator with Dirichlet boundary condition is investigated. We discuss here the case where the domain is an ellipse (that may degenerate to a strip) and the data is ...
Despite being considered one of many seventeenth century American wall insulation systems, brick nogging emerges as a prevalent construction type throughout all of original colonies. Used in both framed and hewn-log ...
The progressive settlement of a plantation in North Carolina is explored through a post-damage inspection.
If a building is experiencing settlement or other deleterious movement, the underlying causes must be established ...
Galvin, Rónán(UCD Irish Virtual Research Library and Archive, 2010)
This paper reports on the digitisation of the folk song and music collected by Tom Munnelly which was conducted as part of the UCD Irish Virtual Research Library and Archive (IVRLA) series of demonstrator research projects. ...
We analyze the maximum number of ways in which one can intrinsically tag
a very particular kind of digital asset: a gene, which is just a DNA sequence that encodes
a protein. We consider gene tagging under the most ...
In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
