Speciation of chromium in a chromium enriched yeast.
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2000)The sample under investigation in this project is an experimental chromium enriched yeast used as a possible additive in animal foodstuff, which was produced by growing yeast in the presence of chromium (III) chloride. ... -
Synchronous reproduction may facilitate introgression in a hybrid mussel (Mytilus) population
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2009)Mussel populations on the Irish Atlantic coast comprise an interbreeding mixture of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis (L.) and the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lmk.). The occurrence of hybrid genotypes ... -
The Synthesis and Characterisation of Reactive MALDI Matrices for Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Steroids
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2019-08)Matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is an analytical technique for molecular spatial distribution imaging which presents unique advantages over existing 3D imagine techniques ... -
Taxonomy of the Lysianassoidea of the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean : an interactive identification key and studies on problematic groups
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2006)A DELTA (DEscriptive Language for TAxonomy) database was constructed for 135 species of lysianassoid amphipods of the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, representing almost 20% of the total estimated number of ... -
The use of forensic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon signatures and Compound Ratio Analysis Techniques (CORAT) for the source characterisation of petrogenic/pyrogenic environmental releases.
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2005)This study utilised recent developments in forensic aromatic hydrocarbon fingerprint analysis to characterise and identify specific biogenic, pyrogenic and petrogenic contamination. The fingerprinting and data interpretation ... -
Using archived otoliths to determine stock structure and early life history of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.)
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2010)Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) are an economically important flatfish in European waters. However, there remains much to be learned about the life history of this fish especially for the earliest stages. This chapter ... -
Using computer vision and deep neural networks to analyse recursive data structures
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2019-06-15)Recursive data structures are fundamental to the solution of many problems in computer science. In particular, recursive structures based on graph theory have been successfully applied to a diverse range of problems including ...
