The South East of Ireland (County Carlow) contains a deposit of the valuable lithium-bearing mineral spodumene (LiAl(SiO3)2). This resource has recently attracted interest and abstractive mining in the area is a possibility ...
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 ...
Insights into the mechanisms of Cronobacter sakazakii virulence
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
Cronobacter species have adapted to survive harsh conditions, particularly in the food manufacture environment, and can cause life-threatening infections in susceptible hosts. These opportunistic pathogens employ a multitude ...
Quantitative imaging of the stress/strain fields and generation of macroscopic cracks from indents in silicon
(MDPI, 2017)
The crack geometry and associated strain field around Berkovich and Vickers indents on silicon have been studied by X-ray diffraction imaging and micro-Raman spectroscopy scanning. The techniques are complementary; the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
The impact of a gender-specific physical activity intervention on the fitness and fatness profile of men in Ireland
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background: Amid increasing concerns about rising obesity rates and unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, physical activity (PA) is seen as a prophylactic to many chronic conditions affecting men. Men respond best to community-based ...
Age – group differences in reactive strength and measures of intra-day reliability in female international footballers
(International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association, 2021-02-18)
The aim of this present study was to compare the reactive strength index (RSI) characteristics and trial to trial reliability of U17, U19 and Senior female international soccer players. Fifty – seven elite female soccer ...
