The open dataset on students’ perceptions of virtual learning environments in Ireland: Collaborating to listen to the student voice
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)The Irish inter‐institutional virtual learning environments (VLEs) open dataset stems from ongoing work with a rolling longitudinal survey of students’ usage of VLEs which has been ongoing in 12 higher education institutions ... -
An Open-Source Testbed to Visualise ICS Cybersecurity Weaknesses and Remediation Strategies – A Research Agenda Proposal
(IEEE, 2021-07)Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are responsible for the control of several processes in various critical infrastructure deployments ranging from energy, power and water utilities, to manufacturing sectors such as ... -
Optochemical detection strategies for heavy metals in water
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2020-11)Groundwater contamination by toxic heavy metals is a serious global issue, therefore, there is an increasing demand for fast, portable and reliable on site monitoring methods for heavy metals in water. Conventional laboratory ... -
Orange alerts: Lessons from an outdoor case study
(IEEE, 2011)Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is of particular relevance to those who may suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and, of course, their carers. The slow but progressive nature of the disease, together with its ... -
Pain and function in the runner a ten (din) uous link
(MDPI, 2020)A male runner (30 years old; 10-km time: 33 min, 46 s) had been running with suspected insertional Achilles tendinopathy (AT) for similar to 2 years when the pain reached a threshold that prevented running. Diagnostic ... -
Particle Acceleration Through Coaxial Co-Flow Nozzles for Cold Spray Applications
(ITSC 2022 Thermal Spray Conference and Exposition, 2022)The present study numerically investigates the effectiveness of co-flowing nozzle for cold spray application. A convergent - divergent axi-symmetric nozzles have been simulated with high-pressure nitrogen flow. The particle ... -
Passive battery thermal management in electric vehicles using fin embedded composite phase change materials
(Institute of Technology, Carlow, 2021)The efficiency of battery packs installed in electric vehicles (EVs) is greatly influenced by their operating temperature. Thus, it is paramount that an effective battery thermal management system be incorporated. While ... -
Plant growth promotion induced by phosphate solubilizing endophytic Pseudomonas isolates.
(Frontiers Media, 2015)The use of plant growth promoting bacterial inoculants as live microbial biofertilizers provides a promising alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Inorganic phosphate solubilization is one of the major ... -
Plant-associated bacterial degradation of toxic organic compounds in soil
(MDPI, 2009)A number of toxic synthetic organic compounds can contaminate environmental soil through either local (e.g., industrial) or diffuse (e.g., agricultural) contamination. Increased levels of these toxic organic compounds in ... -
Polychlorinated biphenyl rhizoremediation by Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 derivatives, using a Sinorhizobium meliloti nod system to drive bph gene expression.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)Rhizoremediation of organic chemicals requires high-level expression of biodegradation genes in bacterial strains that are excellent rhizosphere colonizers. Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a biocontrol strain that was shown ... -
Prevalence of BoHV-1 seropositive and BVD virus positive bulls on Irish dairy farms and associations between bull purchase and herd status
(Irish Veterinary Journal, 2015)Background - BVD and IBR are contagious viral diseases highly prevalent in Irish cattle. Despite their significant reproductive and economic impact very little is known about the BVD and IBR status of stock bulls (a bull ... -
Profiling antibiotic resistance and electrotransformation potential of Ensifer adhaerens OV14; a non-Agrobacterium species capable of efficient rates of plant transformation.
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Ensifer adhaerens OV14 underpins the successful crop transformation protocol termed Ensifer-mediated transformation but issues exist in regard to addressing the pleomorphic tendency of the bacterium in suboptimal conditions, ... -
Promoting men’s awareness, self-examination, and help-seeking for testicular disorders: A systematic review of interventions
(F1000 Research, 2018)Background: Testicular cancer (TC) is commonly diagnosed among men aged 15-40 years. The incidence of TC is on the rise. Benign testicular disorders such as testicular torsion and epididymitis can lead to testicular ischemia, ... -
Protection of pepper plants from drought by Microbacterium sp. 3J1 by modulation of the plant's glutamine and α-ketoglutarate content: A comparative metabolomics approach
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Drought tolerance of plants such as tomato or pepper can be improved by their inoculation with rhizobacteria such as Microbacterium sp. 3J1. This interaction depends on the production of trehalose by the microorganisms ... -
Pulsating flow investigation for spiked blunt-nose body in hypersonic flow and its control
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021-01)An aerospike, as a technique for drag reduction and heat transfer in high-speed flows, is associated with instabilities. To understand the pulsating flow behavior in front of forward facing spiked blunt nose, numerical ... -
Quantification of internal and external training load during a training camp in senior international female footballers
