Economic and Environmental Analysis of SmallScale Anaerobic Digestion Plants on Irish Dairy Farms /
(MDPI, 2020)The European Union’s (EU) climate and energy package requires all EU countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% by 2020. Based on current trends, Ireland is on track to miss this target with a projected ... -
Effect of Cu doping on the anatase-to-rutile phase transition in TiO2 photocatalysts: theory and experiments /
(Elsevier, 2019-01-22)This paper shows that incorporation of Cu inhibits the anatase to rutile phase transition at temperatures above 500 °C. The control sample, with 0% Cu contained 34.3% anatase at 600 °C and transitioned to 100% rutile ... -
An effective method for the preparation of high temperature stable anatase TiO2 photocatalysts
(Elsevier, 2016)tAn efficient, rapid and straightforward method for the preparation of nitrogen and fluorine (N, F) codopedhigh temperature stable anatase using a microwave pre-treatment is reported. Using a single source,ammonium fluoride ... -
Excavations at Farranastack, Co. Kerry: evidence for the use of shaft furnaces in medieval iron production
(Wordwell, 2005)Recent archaeological excavations in Farranastack townland, Co. Kerry, revealed a pit that contained a small but interesting collection of industrial residues. Farranastack takes its place among a growing number of sites ... -
Face Masks and Respirators in the Fight Against the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review of Current Materials, Advances and Future Perspectives /
(MDPI, 2020)The outbreak of COVID-19 has spread rapidly across the globe, greatly affecting how humans as a whole interact, work and go about their daily life. One of the key pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is ... -
Face masks and respirators in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic: an overview of the standards and testing methods /
(Elsevier, 2020-09-19)This shortage has resulted in an increase in production of PPE to meet the demand, and as a result, several substandard equipment has entered the market. With face masks and respirators now beginning to see widespread use ... -
Heterogeneous Fenton catalysts: A review of recent advances /
(Elsevier, 2020)Heterogeneous Fenton catalysts are emerging as excellent materials for applications related to water purification. In this review, recent trends in the synthesis and application of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts for the ... -
Highly efficient F, Cu doped TiO2 anti-bacterial visible light active photocatalytic coatings to combat hospital-acquired infections
(Nature, 2016)Bacterial infections are a major threat to the health of patients in healthcare facilities including hospitals. One of the major causes of patient morbidity is infection with Staphylococcus aureus. One of the the most ... -
History of Dreissena research and the ICAIS gateway to aquatic invasions research
(2012)Research on the ecology and impacts of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) has developed in parallel with the long history of their spread across Europe and to North America. There is less scientific knowledge however ... -
History of the Zebra Mussel/ICAIS Conference series
(2010)The International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species (ICAIS) (http://www.icais.org) has evolved over the last two decades into a broad comprehensive international forum for the dissemination, outreach and review ... -
In vitro pulmonary toxicity of thermally processed titania nanotubes /
(Springer, 2020)he current study examined the in vitro pulmonary toxicity of titania nanotubes induced by the morphological and crystalline changes associated with post-synthetic thermal processing. A549 lung carcinoma cells were exposed ... -
Indium-Doped TiO2 Photocatalysts with High-Temperature Anatase Stability /
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The thermal stability of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a prerequisite to fabricate photocatalyst coated indoor building materials for use in antimicrobial and self-cleaning applications under normal room light ... -
Kilgreany, Co. Waterford: biography of a cave
(Wordwell, 2002)The title of this paper reflects the idea that certain places in the landscape have a biography of their own (Bradley 2000 48). The archaeological material recovered from Kilgreany Cave is examined and the evidence for ... -
