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 ...
The influence of attitudes to local food and authenticity on tourist behaviour
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
Tourists are travelling to destinations in search of food experiences which are considered local and authentic. This study investigates tourist attitudes to local food interest on destination choice, travel motivation, ...
What is the prevalence of occupational stress among post-primary teachers in Ireland? Are supports in place to safeguard their mental health and wellbeing? An exploration of demographic, environmental & organisational predictors of stress among post-primary teachers in Ireland.
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
While every job presents with its own set of challenges, frustration and anxiety, teaching is no different. However, occupational stress (OS) among teachers can make their work somewhat more complicated than it has to be, ...
Advertising design and its ability to initiate social change
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
The modern world is faced with countless questions surrounding the sustainability of many fields ranging from the environment, to societal and health issues. Changes must be made by vast quantities of individuals to ensure ...
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, ...
Reaching beyond the ‘worried well’: pre-adoption characteristics of participants in ‘Men on the Move’, a community-based physical activity programme
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background: Issues surrounding gender and men’s health have become an increasing focus of public health globally. Unhealthy lifestyles and lower engagement in health promotion initiatives contributed to lower life expectancy ...
The effect of by-product inclusion and concentrate feeding rate on milk production and composition, pasture dry matter intake, and nitrogen excretion of mid-late lactation spring-calving cows grazing a perennial ryegrass-based pasture
(American Dairy Science Association, 2019)
Interest is growing in the use of by-products as economical sources of nutrients that complement grazed grass, particularly at times when grass supply is insufficient to meet the nutritional demands of lactating dairy ...
Improving the visual stimuli for brain-computer interfaces
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
Visual stimuli are traditionally used to operate Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems employing the Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) technique. In this technique, when a BCI user’s visual system is exposed ...
Chromium monitoring in water by colorimetry using optimised 1,5-diphenylcarbazide method
(MDPI, 2019)
Chromium contamination of drinking water has become a global problem due to its extensive use in industry. The most commonly used methods for chromium detection in water are laboratory-based methods, such as atomic absorption ...
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 ...
