Biological control capabilities of plant growth promoting bacteria against plant parasitic nematodes and their potential for oilseed rape bioremediation, assessed by nematode bioindicators
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
The global population is increasing and the availability of land suitable for food production is in decline. Growing bioenergy crops on contaminated land is an innovative approach to alleviate this land shortage, which in ...
An investigation on the interactions between entomopathogenic nematodes and plant growth promoting bacteria
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Increasing demands on global food production have resulted in the overuse of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, leading to an increase in environmental pollution and pest resistance. Traditional fertiliser applications ...
Analysis of the vermicomposting process and its implications for plant growth promotion under Irish conditions
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Waste is an ongoing issue, especially in Ireland. Current waste management treatments are becoming unsustainable; therefore, research on alternative methods is being conducted. This project investigates the use of ...
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 ...
Advanced statistical and mathematical modelling of a constructed wetland, treating abattoir waste water: A new modelling method for resilience analysis
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
The meat processing industry produces high strength toxic waste from the slaughtering processes. Conventional methods were to ship the blood waste products to other companies for treatment, leading to high costs in storage, ...
Investigating the impact of soil tillage and crop rotation on the bacterial microbiome associated with winter oilseed rape under Irish agronomic conditions
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Modern agriculture is challenged with sustaining a high quality food flow to an increasing global population. Therefore, the agriculture intensification is largely achieved through the use of farm equipment, intensive soil ...
The effects of cows milk, goats milk, whey protein and an energy-matched carbohydrate drink on recovery from repeated sprinting and jumping in team sport athletes
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Introduction: Effective recovery following intense exercise is integral for any athlete to ensure subsequent performance is optimised (Kellmann, 2010). The aim of this investigation was to determine the effects of cows ...
First report of an entomopathogenic nematode from continental Portugal
(Parasitological Institute of SAS, Košice, 2007)
In continental Portugal no information is available concerning the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes. During a survey in several different habitats from the southern regions of the country, several isolates where ...
The effect of milk on recovery from repeat-sprint cycling in female team-sport athletes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017)
The consumption of milk following eccentric exercise attenuates the effects of muscle damage in team-sport athletes. However, participation in team sport involves both concentric–eccentric loading and metabolic stress. ...
Can analysis of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in matched synovial fluid and serum determine the inflammatory state in knee osteoarthritis?
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)
Background: The concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in biological specimens may help to determine the inflammatory state of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in patients. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 ...
