ICT as an enabler for sustainable development: Reflections on opportunities and barriers
(Article)Purpose – ICT offers a peculiar 21st Century conundrum as it both a cause and solution to rising carbon emissions. The growth in the digital economy is fueling increased energy consumption whilst affording new opportunities ... -
ICT for sustainability: reflecting on the role of ICT to enhance communication and empowerment of building users
(Conference)ICT solutions within a Smart City environment are often hailed as the low carbon, efficient and low-cost solution – but is this sufficient? These solutions often neglect user behaviour and treat users as passive consumers ... -
Identifcation of the hydraulic model from operational measurements for supervisory pressure control
(Conference)The operational pressure control is a cost-e®ective way to leakage reduction and many pressure control methods and algorithms have been developed. Whilst the pres- sure control algorithm is model-based, the hydraulic ... -
Identifying and Mitigating Residual Vibrations in Wave-Based Control of Lumped, Flexible Systems
(Article)Wave-based control (WBC) is a technique for motion control of under-actuated flexible sys-tems. It envisages actuator motion as launching a motion wave into the system, while simulta-neously absorbing any wave returning ... -
IFHTSE Global 21: heat treatment and surface engineering in the twenty-first century: Part 9 – Influence of materials science on heat treatment and surface engineering.
(Article)Significant progresses have been made in the past decades in the discipline of materials science, which include, but not limit to, the synthesis of new materials, advancement in analytical and experimental techniques, ... -

Impact ionisation electroluminescence in planar GaAs-based heterostructure gunn diodes: spatial distribution and impact of doping non-uniformities
(Article)When biased on the negative differential resistance regime, electroluminescence (EL) is emitted from planar GaAs heterostructure Gunn diodes due to the recombination of electrons in the device channel with holes that are ... -
Impact of Ground Effect on Airplane Lateral Directional Stability during Take-Off and Landing
(Article)Computational simulations of aerodynamic characteristics of the Common Research Model (CRM), representing a typical transport airliner are conducted using CFD methods in close proximity to the ground. The obtained dependencies ... -
Impact of physical and virtual carrier sensing on the route discovery mechanism in noisy MANETs
(Article)In cellular consumer devices, one of the limiting factors for efficiency is that of overhead on the network layer that effects on the performance of the network. A substantial design issue is that, with cellular consumer ... -
Impacts of microalgae pre-treatments for improved anaerobic digestion: Thermal treatment, thermal hydrolysis, ultrasound and enzymatic hydrolysis
(Article)Anaerobic digestion (AD) of microalgae is primarily inhibited by the chemical composition of their cell walls containing biopolymers able to resist bacterial degradation. Adoption of pre-treatments such as thermal, thermal ... -
The Impacts of Spatially Variable Demand Patterns on Water Distribution System Design and Operation
(Article)Resilient water distribution systems (WDSs) need to minimize the level of service failure in terms of magnitude and duration over its design life when subject to exceptional conditions. This requires WDS design to consider ...
