Assessing the Potential of Drones to Take Water Samples and Physicochemical Data from Open Lakes
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2020-09)
Water sampling remains a pivotal method for monitoring and understanding the condition of aquatic environments properly and effectively. Large-scale ecological water sampling and monitoring programmes require considerable ...
Impacts of large and small barriers on fish assemblage composition assessed using environmental DNA metabarcoding
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-05-24)
River fragmentation caused by instream barriers is a leading cause of biodiversity loss, particularly for freshwater migratory fish, the vertebrate group that has suffered the steepest decline. However, most studies have ...
A Critique of Food Education in Irish Primary Schools: Exploring the Potential to Introduce Key Elements of International Models to the Irish Context
(2020-08-28)
This study aims to explore the possibility of Irish primary schools introducing key elements of international food education models to the primary school curriculum in a bid to developing positive healthy eating behaviours ...
Enhancing Literacy and Numeracy Training
(2021-08-30)
Ireland has always prided itself on having a ‘world class’ education system. However, this was called into question when The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published the results from its ...
Microplastics in brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) from an Irish riverine system
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)
Rivers play an important role in the overall transport of microplastic pollution (1 μm to 5 mm), with fluvial dynamics expected to influence biotic interactions, particularly for fish. So far, there have been few assessments ...
WaveGraft –A novel endovascular device concept for restoring the natural arterial cushioning effect
(Atlantis Press, 2020-12)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The cushioning effect of large, healthy arteries reduces pulsatile afterload to the heart, reduces pulsatility in the microvasculature of target organs, and promotes coronary/cerebral perfusion.(1) ...
Blue Economy Innovation and Development
(2021-07)
The aim of this research is to identify international best practice and the key aspects needed for the development of innovation centres for a peripheral region. The second objective is to outline the sectoral developments ...
Investigation of the Initial Host Response of Naïve Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Inoculated with Paramoeba perurans
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)
Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), caused by the ectoparasite Paramoeba perurans is characterised by hyperplasia of the gill epithelium and lamellar fusion. In this study, the initial host response of naïve Atlantic salmon (Salmo ...
Perceptions About Marine Anthropogenic Litter & Microplastic Pollution in Ireland
(Irish Research Council, 2020)
Thank you for your interest in this booklet which provides an insight into
the current perceptions about marine litter and plastic pollution in Ireland.
The results presented here are based on an online survey conducted ...
Highly resolved spatiotemporal simulations for exploring mixed fishery dynamics
(Elsevier, 2020)
To understand how data resolution impacts inference on mixed fisheries interactions we developed a highly resolved spatiotemporal discrete-event simulation model MixFishSim incorporating: i) delay-difference population ...
