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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Enabling models of Internet eXchange points to support spatial planning: the case for East Africa
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2019)
In 2009 fibre-optic cables landed on the East coast of Africa, the last major area of the world to be connected to the Internet triggering a decade of Internet development. During the same period there has been a general ...
What constitutes a good death? Perceptions of the public and professionals working within generalised and specialised palliative care services in the South East of Ireland.
