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 ...
Towards a technological university: A design approach to knowledge creation
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Irish economic strategies, in line with broader global strategies, aim to promote innovation and knowledge creation. The past notion that knowledge was a learned entity which stopped and was repeated as needed no longer ...
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 ...
The immediate and sustained effects of mobilisations with movement on the hip range of motion and power and shoulder range of motion and strength
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Introduction. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a mobilisation with movement (MWM) and self-applied mobilisation with movement (SMWM) treatment on hip extension ROM (°), jump height (cm) and power ...
Training load monitoring in rugby union
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
The aim of this study was to examine the different measures of training load monitoring used in rugby union and their correlation with each other. The present study also aimed to determine whether individual or arbitrary ...
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 ...
Comparative hydro-geochemistry: Distribution of metal ions in ground water, surface water, soils and plants in the South East of Ireland
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2018)
Until recently lithium has been an unpopular, often unthought of metal tucked away on the far left of the periodic table. You might recall a song or two of the same name, or that it is used to treat bipolar disorder, but ...
