Investigation of multiwavelength correlations for the VHE gamma-ray blazar markarian 421 from 1995 to 2009
(2011)
The blazar Markarian 421 is an excellent laboratory for studying the physical processes within the jets of active galactic nuclei. In this thesis, a multiwavelength
database has been compiled using data from the Whipple ...
The drivers and dynamics of fisher behaviour In Irish fisheries
(2013)
It is widely acknowledged within the scientific community that a single species approach to European mixed fisheries can result in species-specific advice inconsistent with multi-species management objectives. Within the ...
Defining habitat characteristics influencing the distribution, density and growth of Plaice (Pleuronectes Platessa) and Dab (Limanda Limanda) on west of Ireland nursery grounds
(2012)
Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L.) and dab (Limanda limanda, L.) are among the most abundant flatfishes in the north-eastern Atlantic region and the dominant species in shallow coastal nursery grounds. With increasing ...
Effects of selected post harvest processes on brown crab (Cancerpagurus L.) and European lobster (Homarus gammarus L.) from Irish Crustacean Fisheries
(2010)
The crustacean fishery is important to the socio economics of rural and island communities around Ireland; with brown crab (Cancer pagurus) and European lobster (.Homarus gammarus) being the most valuable shellfish species. ...
On the ecology of rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) in Irish waters using intrinsic markers
(2012)
Despite repeated calls for an ecosystem-based approach to the management of marine resources, little information exists on the ecosystem role and requirements of top predators such as baleen whales in Irish waters. Considering ...
Field enhancement of the parasitoid bracon hylobii (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to control hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); the large pine weevil
(2012)
Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the large pine weevil is the most damaging pest of reforestation sites in Ireland. This study examined the possibility of manipulating populations of a species specific parasitoid, ...
Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ...
Investigation into the early life history of the European flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) with special emphasis in Galway Bay, Irish West Coast
(2012)
European flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) economic value is estimated to be worth over 68 million to the Irish economy (mainly from recreational angling activities). Despite such large species value, there is a considerable ...
Impacts of the parasitic dinoflagellate Hematodinium sp. on Irish crustacean fisheries
(2010)
Infection of Cancer pagurus by a parasitic dinoflagellate of the genus Hematodinium is described for the first time in Ireland. An industry-based monitoring programme was established to determine seasonality of infection ...
An investigation into the detection and identification of OsHV-1 μvar virus and associated risk factors causing mortalities in Crassostrea gigas in Ireland.
(2014)
Part two of this study investigated the detection of OsHV-1 μvar and associated risk factors during mortality outbreaks. An epidemiological study was conducted during 2011. 17 bays from around the Irish Coast were selected, ...
