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 ...
Levels of persistent organic pollutants in eastern north Atlantic humpback whales
(2013)
Blubber lipid concentrations of 14 organochlorine compounds and 10 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were measured by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection in eastern North Atlantic humpback whales Megaptera ...
Management and evaluation of a range of forest species for use as cut foliage
(2011)
This project explored the possibility of harvesting marketable foliage stems in addition to
producing timber from plantations of Larix leptolepis, Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’
and Tsuga heterophylla. Data recorded ...
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 ...
Effects of selected post harvest processes on brown crab (Cancerpagurus L.) and European lobster (Homarus gammarus L.) from Irish Crustacean Fisheries
(2010)
The crustacean fishery is important to the socio economics of rural and island communities around Ireland; with brown crab (Cancer pagurus) and European lobster (.Homarus gammarus) being the most valuable shellfish species. ...
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 ...
Field enhancement of the parasitoid bracon hylobii (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to control hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); the large pine weevil
(2012)
Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the large pine weevil is the most damaging pest of reforestation sites in Ireland. This study examined the possibility of manipulating populations of a species specific parasitoid, ...
Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ...
Insights into the trophic ecology of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Irish waters
(2015)
The stomach contents of 12 bottlenose dolphins were examined. Ten of the 11 samples originated from dolphins that stranded on the west coast of Ireland between 1999 and 2011, while the remaining dolphin was bycaught. Ten ...
