Investigation of multiwavelength correlations for the VHE gamma-ray blazar markarian 421 from 1995 to 2009
(2011)
The blazar Markarian 421 is an excellent laboratory for studying the physical processes within the jets of active galactic nuclei. In this thesis, a multiwavelength
database has been compiled using data from the Whipple ...
The drivers and dynamics of fisher behaviour In Irish fisheries
(2013)
It is widely acknowledged within the scientific community that a single species approach to European mixed fisheries can result in species-specific advice inconsistent with multi-species management objectives. Within the ...
Development and Validation of Numerical Tools to Implement Climate Sensitive Design and Control for Ground Source Heat Pumps with Horizontal Collectors
(2018)
At the outset of the 21st century, growth in the Sustainable Energy Technologies (SETs)
market is driven by the need to secure energy supply, limit the environmental impact of fossil
fuels and to generate economic growth. ...
Interactions between seabirds and pollution in Irish waters
(2017-01)
Seabirds are abundant and ubiquitous globally. They suffer pressure from many contemporary threats such as fisheries, invasive species and pollution. This thesis focuses on two different types of pollution: plastic litter ...

(2010)
This is a business research study with the primary aim being the examination of the marine tourism business sector in the West of Ireland and assessment of its contribution to the regional economy. According to the Irish ...
Defining habitat characteristics influencing the distribution, density and growth of Plaice (Pleuronectes Platessa) and Dab (Limanda Limanda) on west of Ireland nursery grounds
(2012)
Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L.) and dab (Limanda limanda, L.) are among the most abundant flatfishes in the north-eastern Atlantic region and the dominant species in shallow coastal nursery grounds. With increasing ...
Examining shifts in institutional positioning in the evolving Irish higher education system
(University of Bath School of Management (ICHEM), 2017-09)
The thesis investigates a highly interesting, perennial issue in the contemporary development of higher education in times of massification and public sector reform: forces for organisational homogeneity and differentiation ...
Optimising growth and survival in Irish aquaculture of abalone and sea urchins
(2015-09)
Increased demand for abalone and sea urchins globally has resulted in increased production of these commercially important invertebrates in aquaculture. Transfer of aquaculture technology from established producing countries ...
Informing improved management of mixed fisheries through comparative modelling of fleet dynamics
(2020-09)
Mixed fisheries, where several species are caught in the same fishing operation, are ubiquitous and a major challenge for fisheries management. Overexploitation occurs in mixed fisheries where fishers catch species for ...
On the ecology of rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) in Irish waters using intrinsic markers
(2012)
Despite repeated calls for an ecosystem-based approach to the management of marine resources, little information exists on the ecosystem role and requirements of top predators such as baleen whales in Irish waters. Considering ...
