Man on the move: an investigation of a ‘real world’ community – based physical activity programme for adult men
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)Background: The burden of ill-health and mortality experienced by men across the developed world has prompted calls for more gender-sensitised, health interventions that appeal to men. Using physical activity as a ... -
Mapping vegetation communities inside wetlands using Sentinel-2 imagery in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2020)Wetlands provide habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species and contribute significantly to overall biodiversity in Ireland. Despite these known ecosystem services, the total wetland area in Ireland has reduced ... -
Maximum ball in play demands for sub-elite Rugby Union referees in domestic club rugby
(Universidad de Alicante, 2020)Purpose: Rugby union referee research has reported the game demands for whole game averages and comparisons between each half and 10 minute periods. No study has reported the movement game demands for the maximum ball in ... -
Microbes a tool for the remediation of organotin pollution determined by static headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
(MDPI, 2018)Tributyltin (TBT) is one of the most toxic anthropogenic compounds introduced into the marine environment. Despite its global ban in 2008, TBT is still a problem of great concern due to its high affinity for particulate ... -
Microbial bioremediation and physiochemical treatment of landfill leachate
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)Landfill leachate (LFL) is an environmentally hazardous waste characterised by elevated levels of organic and inorganic compounds. LFL is produced when water percolates through a landfill picking up the by-products of waste ... -
Microfluidics in haemostasis: A review
(MDPI, 2020)Haemostatic disorders are both complex and costly in relation to both their treatment and subsequent management. As leading causes of mortality worldwide, there is an ever-increasing drive to improve the diagnosis and ... -
Milk: An effective recovery drink for female athletes
(MDPI, 2018)Milk has become a popular post-exercise recovery drink. Yet the evidence for its use in this regard comes from a limited number of investigations utilising very specific exercise protocols, and mostly with male participants. ... -
Negotiating gender norms to support men in psychological distress
(SAGE Publications, 2018)Underpinning a general pattern of higher suicide rates in men is the assumption that men do not ask for help or utilize the health-care system during times of psychological distress. There has been a failure to grapple ... -
Nematode-based indices in soil ecology: Application, utility, and future directions
(Elsevier, 2022-04-09)The health and functioning of soil ecosystems are the foundation of sustainable food production and land management. Of key importance in achieving sustainability, is the frequent measurement of soil health, and indices ... -
A new optical method of continuously analysing the surface properties of a single pendant drop while obtaining quality bulk spectral and refractive index measurements of the liquid-under-test
(IOP Publishing, 2009)The classical stalagmometer has been replaced by the tensiometer to measure surface properties from drop volume. From the drop period T1, converted into volume, the surface properties of the liquid can be obtained. In the ... -
Novel advanced scoping meta-review methodology for defining a graduate level textbook in an emerging subject area
(LIBER - the Association of European Research Libraries, 2018-03-12)This paper describes a library-based project involving the library staff at the Institute of Technology Carlow (ITC), in a collaboration led by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), Action MP1302 ... -
Novel AroA with high tolerance to glyphosate, encoded by a gene of Pseudomonas putida 4G-1 isolated from an extremely polluted environment in China
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)Glyphosate has been used globally as a safe herbicide for weed control. It inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (AroA), which is a key enzyme in the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathway in ... -
Novel mechanism of instability control using tapered spike in hypersonic flow
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-08-02)A forward facing spiked blunt nose in high-speed flows is associated with pulsating flow behavior of varying amplitudes depending on spike-nose and length, the forebody geometry and flow conditions. A tapered spike has ... -
Numerical investigation of detonation propagation through small orifice holes
(Sciendo, 2021)Seeking to better understand the physical phenomena underlying detonation wave propagation through small holes (especially the phenomenon of detonation re-initiation or its failure), we investigated the propagation of a ... -
Numerical study of an aerospike nozzle in retropropulsion
(Council of European Aerospace Societies, 2021)The primary motivation of this numerical study is to explore the feasibility of drag enhancement using aerospike nozzle for retropropulsion in hypersonic flow. An external expansion contoured aerospike nozzle with design ... -
Nutrient reduction capacity of a novel bioswale system for the reduction of nutrients from farmyard dirty water
(Institute of Technology, Carlow, 2021)The protection of clean water is of paramount importance to both humans and the aquatic environment. The aquatic environment in Ireland is subjected to impacts from many different human activities and pressures. Pollution ... -
Oblique Detonation Wave Control with O3 and H2O2 Sensitization in Hypersonic Flow
(MDPI journals, 2022-06-04)This numerical study investigates the effects of adding a small amount of ignition promoters for controlling the wedge-induced oblique shock wave (OSW) to oblique detonation wave (ODW) transition in a premixed hydrogen–air ... -
Obstacle detection with ultrasonic sensors and signal analysis metrics
(Elsevier, 2017)One of the basic tasks for autonomous flight with aerial vehicles (drones) is the detection of obstacles within its flight environment. As the technology develops and becomes more robust, drones will become part of the ... -
Ocular metrics in concussion: An analytical prospective cohort study to establish normative ocular metrics in a healthy sporting population
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)Introduction: Concussion diagnosis is a clinical challenge for healthcare providers. Identification of concussion is presently aided by tools such as the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT3); such tools remain largely ... -
Older adult insights for age friendly environments, products and service systems
(Loughborough University, 2018-05)The environments we grow old in present a challenge to be adaptive to our changing needs and limitations. Environments, in the context of this paper, are the spaces, products and product service systems that we engage with, ...
