A Validated Simulation of Wind Flow Around a Parabolic Dish
(Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2015)The thermal performance of solar parabolic dish systems is greatly influenced by the wind around the system. To achieve higher operating temperatures, larger dish structures are used to increase the concentration ratio, ... -
Value and prospect of digital photography
(Art Gallery Magazine Publishing House, 2010)Thanks to the development of technology, information and digital techniques have been spread all corners of the world. And artists now gain a new way to manipulate their art works: digital technology. The technique instills ... -
Value and Sustainability of Emerging Social Commerce Professions: An Exploratory Study
(MDPI, 2022)Recent advances in social commerce and mobile technology have led to the emergence of new professions such as vlogging, blogging and virtual pop-up store owning. Starting initially as hobbies, the services provided by these ... -
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in a manufacture-to-order small and medium enterprise
(JOMSA, 2008)This paper discusses the Lean methodology of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in a manufacture-to order (MTO) environment. Within a case study of a mold making company the method is applied and improved. The purpose of VSM is ... -
Value-creating Roles Played by the Actors in Open Government Data: A Systematic Literature Review
(ACIS, 2020)Government-held data are immensely valuable; as well as providing the information required to carry out tasks related to internal governance procedures, additional value may be generated by publishing and making accessible ... -
Valuing computer science education research?
(ACM, 2006)This paper critically enquires into the value systems which rule the activities of teaching and research. This critique is intended to demonstrate the application of critical enquiry in Computer Science Education Research ... -
Vampires in the city: mergence, mystique, and ‘The New Orleans Thing’
(Locating the Gothic conference, 2014)No abstract. -
Vertical axis wind turbines - are we any better informed?
(New Zealand Wind Energy Association, 2014)In the early years of the modern era of the wind turbine, experimental development of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) was underpinned by an incremental improvement of aerodynamic performance prediction methods; the ... -
Viability of the Store-on Grid Scheme Model for Grid-tied Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Systems in Sub-Saharan African Countries
(Elsevier BV, 2021)The viability of the store-on grid (SoG) scheme model across 13 selected Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries was investigated. The individual country's datasets applicable to the SoG scheme and a typical industrial building ... -
Vibration analysis of a variable length blade wind turbine
(IJAET, 2012)In this paper, flap-wise, edge-wise and torsional natural frequencies of a variable length blade have been identified. Therefore designers can ensure that natural frequencies will not be close to the frequency of the main ... -
Vibration of lightweight composite structures with random irregularities
(University of Otago, 2009)Exact determination of the vibration of a composite structure becomes impossible beyond the low-frequency range due to uncertainties in the structure. Therefore, the prediction model in the mid- to high-frequency range ... -
Vibration of lightweight rib-reinforced structures with random irregularities
(Institutes of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Acoustical Society of China, 2008)This paper describes mathematical modelling procedure of the rib-reinforced floor/ceiling structures, which are made up of components with irregular shapes and physical parameters. Exact determination of the vibration of ... -
Vibration reduction in lightweight floor/ceiling systems with a sand-sawdust damping layer
(The Australian Acoustical Society, 2014)This paper shows how to use a mathematical model to predict the vibration of lightweight timber-framed floor/ceiling systems (LTFSs) caused by mechanical excitation. The LTFS considered here is made up of an upper floor ... -
Vibration transmission in a double-leaf plate with random rigidities and junctions
(The Australian Acoustical Society, 2013)Predicting vibrations of composite structures such as double-leaf plates is difficult because of the large number of components. In the low and high frequency ranges, the components may be homogenized, so that a structure ... -
Video Desnowing and Deraining via Saliency and Dual Adaptive Spatiotemporal Filtering
(MDPI AG, 2021)Outdoor vision sensing systems often struggle with poor weather conditions, such as snow and rain, which poses a great challenge to existing video desnowing and deraining methods. In this paper, we propose a novel video ... -
Virtual Engineering at NWVEC
(Virtual Engineering Centre, the University of Liverpool, 2012)Hi-fidelity models require lengthy preparation Superfluous model data impedes the real-time experience Interaction requires intuitive and unobtrusive controls Immersion requires high refresh rates and accurate tracking ... -
Virtual Engineering: case study with Bentley Motors
(The University of Liverpool, 2011)Designing is more than just creating a product...it is also about creating an emotional experience! This presentation provides an overview of the Virtual Engineering Centre and its work with Optis UK and Bentley Motors to ... -
Virtual overhearing: an effective way to increase network coding opportunities in wireless ad-hoc networks
(Elsevier, 2016)Overhearing is of great importance to wireless network coding in that it can be exploited to obtain the side information needed for packet decoding. Recently, a new technique called virtual overhearing (VOH) was proposed ... -
Virtual Reality and the Notion of Perspective in Drawing
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2021)This article discusses how Virtual Reality sets new parameters for thinking and working on perspective when compared to more traditional two-dimensional supports, such as a sheet of paper or screens. Technological devices ... -
Virtualization Technology: Cross-VM Side Channel Attacks Make it Vulnerable
