• Improving production of volatile fatty acids and hydrogen from microalgae and rice residue: effects of physiochemical characteristics and mix ratios 

  Sun, Chihe; Xia, Ao; Liao, Qiang; Fu, Qian; Huang, Yun; Zhu, Xun; Wei, Pengfei; Lin, Richen; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier, 2018-09-11)

  Dark fermentation may be hindered by insufficient bioavailable carbon and nitrogen sources as well as recalcitrant cell wall structures of substrates. Protein-rich microalgae and carbohydrate-rich rice residue with various ...
• Modelling uncertainty in t-RANS simulations of thermally stratified forest canopy flows for wind energy studies 

  Desmond, Cian J.; Watson, Simon; Montavon, Christiane; Murphy, Jimmy (MDPI AG, 2018)

  The flow over densely forested terrain under neutral and non-neutral conditions is considered using commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Results are validated against data from a site in ...
• Cluster analysis of wind turbine alarms for characterising and classifying stoppages 

  Leahy, Kevin; Gallagher, Colm; O'Donovan, Peter; O'Sullivan, Dominic T. J. (2018-07)

  Turbine alarm systems can give useful information to remote technicians on the cause of a fault or stoppage. However, alarms are generally generated at much too high a rate to gain meaningful insight from on their own, so ...
• A review of approaches to uncertainty assessment in energy system optimization models 

  Yue, Xiufeng; Pye, Steve; DeCarolis, Joseph; Li, Francis G. N.; Rogan, Fionn; Ó Gallachóir, Brian P. (Elsevier Ltd., 2018-07-25)

  Energy system optimization models (ESOMs) have been used extensively in providing insights to decision makers on issues related to climate and energy policy. However, there is a concern that the uncertainties inherent in ...
• Search and foraging behaviors from movement data: a comparison of methods 

  Bennison, Ashley; Bearhop, Stuart; Bodey, Thomas W.; Votier, Stephen C.; Grecian, W. James; Wakefield, Ewan D.; Hamer, Keith C.; Jessopp, Mark (John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2018)

  Search behavior is often used as a proxy for foraging effort within studies of animal movement, despite it being only one part of the foraging process, which also includes prey capture. While methods for validating prey ...
