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, ...
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 ...
Exploring the opportunities between design thinking and micro-enterprises in regional Ireland
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)
This thesis follows Irish Design 2015 (ID2015), a year-long Government backed initiative and key component of the Action Plan for Jobs (APJ) 2015-2017. The aim of ID2015 was to grow awareness of Irish Design in order to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A study to evaluate the effects of a neuromuscular injury prevention programme (GAA15) in adolescent males participating in hurling
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2017)
Introduction: Adolescent involvement in organised sport has never been more popular in Ireland, however, this increased level of activity has reportedly caused concern regarding the potential risk and severity of sporting ...
