Imagery and imaginary of islander identity: Older people and migration in Irish small-island communities
Scharf, Thomas; Walsh, Kieran (2013)This article examines the imagery and imaginaries of islander identity and makes an original contribution to the fields of gerontology and nissology. Drawing on data collected through in-depth interviews with 19 older ... -
Impact of biochar addition to soil on greenhouse gas emissions following pig manure application
Troy, Shane M.; O' Flynn, Cornelius J.; Healy, Mark G. (2013)The application of biochar produced from wood and crop residues, such as sawdust, straw, sugar bagasse and rice hulls, to highly weathered soils under tropical conditions has been shown to influence soil greenhouse gas ... -
The impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry before land application on soil phosphorus dynamics
Brennan, Raymond B.; Healy, Mark G. (Taylor and Francis, 2014-08-22)Application of dairy cattle slurry to agricultural soils, particularly those with high phosphorus (P) status or vulnerability to runoff, can increase P loss to waterbodies, which may accelerate eutrophication. While the ... -
Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry.
Brennan, Raymond B.; Healy, Mark G. (Elsevier, 2012-09)Chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. ... -
The Influence of Cell Type on Artificial Development
Maher, John; Morgan, Fearghal; O'Riordan, Colm; McGinley, Brian (2013)Two variants of biologically inspired cell model, namely eukaryotic (containing a nucleus) and prokaryotic (without a nucleus) are compared in this research. Experiments are designed to provide an understanding of how the ... -
An investigation of the inelastic behaviour of trabecular bone during the press-fit implantation of a tibial component in total knee arthroplasty
Kelly, Nicola; Cawley, DT; Shannon, FJ; McGarry, J. Patrick (Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine by Elsevier Ltd., 2013)The stress distribution and plastic deformation of peri-prosthetic trabecular bone during press-fit tibial component implantation in total knee arthroplasty is investigated using experimental and finite element techniques. ... -
Investing in Families: Supporting Parents to Improve Outcomes for Children
Gillen, Aisling; Landy, Fergal; Devaney, Carmel; Canavan, John; Coen, Liam (Child and Family Agency, 2013-08)[no abstract available] -
Irish chefs and restaurants in the geography of 'local' food value chains
Cawley, Mary (2012)Restaurant chefs and owners have a potentially influential role to play in promoting the use of local foods and supporting producers. Indeed chefs are taste makers, and their conceptualization of local food can influence ... -
A literature review for integrated planning for improved outcomes for children and families.
Coen, Liam; Canavan, John; Dolan, Pat (Cooperation and Working Together (CAWT), 2008)Increasingly, policy makers and service managers, planners and practitioners are encouraged, and often mandated, to work together to achieve better outcomes for children and young people. The momentum towards formally ... -
A Matter of Timing: Consumer Electronics & Network Time
Corcoran, Peter M. (IEEE, 2013-10)Network time protocol (NTP) has become widely used across the Internet to synchronize clocks on computers and, more recently, on a wide variety of handheld devices. You are using NTP on a daily basis without even knowing ... -
Molecular dynamics study of nanoparticle stability at liquid interfaces: effect of nanoparticle-solvent interaction and capillary waves
Cheung, David L. (AIP Publishing, 2011)While the interaction of colloidal particles (sizes in excess of 100 nm) with liquidinterfaces may be understood in terms of continuum models, which are grounded in macroscopic properties such as surface and line tensions, ... -
A Multiaxial Fatigue Damage Model for Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites
Kennedy, Ciaran R.; Ó'Brádaigh, Conchúr (Elsevier (Scienc Direct), 2013)A multiaxial fatigue damage model for fibre reinforced polymercomposite materials is presented. The model combines (i) fatigue-induced fibre strength and modulus degradation, (ii) irrecoverable cyclic strain effects and ... -
Numerical model for steel brace members incorporating a fatigue model
Salawdeh, Suhaib; Goggins, Jamie (2013)The aim of this paper is to develop a robust numerical model for cold-formed steel square and rectangular structural hollow sections for use as axial loaded members in earthquake engineering applications. Pseudo-static ... -
Numerical modelling to aid in the structural health monitoring of wave energy converters
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2013)A vital aspect of ensuring the cost effectiveness of wave energy converters (WECs) is being able to monitor their performance remotely through structural health monitoring, as these devices are deployed in very harsh ... -
Numerical simulation of linear water waves and wave-structure interaction
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2012)One of the main stages in the design of wave energy converters (WEC's) is the numerical modelling of a given converter. In this paper, the numerical simulation of both linear deep water waves and linear waves for the finite ... -
Older people in rural communities: exploring attachment, contribution and diversity in rural Ireland and Northern Ireland
Walsh, Kieran; Gavin, Martina; McDonagh, John; O'Shea, Eamon; Scharf, Thomas (Healthy Ageing in Rural Communities (HARC) Research Network, 2010)This report documents research on older people living in three rural case-study areas across the island of Ireland. The work originated from within the Healthy Ageing in Rural Communities (HARC) research network, which was ... -
Older women workers'access to pensions: vulnerabilities, perspectives and strategies
Duvvury, Nata; Ní Léime, Áine; Callan, Aoife (Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, National University of Ireland Galway, 2012)Pension systems globally are in a period of transformative change as governments struggle to manage the twin constraints of an ageing population and fragile government budgets in the context of the economic recession. In ... -
The performance of granitic, shale and limestone forest road aggregates under repeated loading
Healy, Mark G. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-01-20)This study compared the performance of three aggregate layerings, commonly used in the construction of unbound forest roads in Ireland, when they were subjected to repeated loading in a new large-scale test rig. These ... -
Prediction of Cell Culture Media performance using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Ryan, Paul W.; Li, Boyan; Shanahan, Michael; Ryder, Alan G. (ACS Publications, 2010)Cell culture media used in industrial mammalian cell culture are complex aqueous solutions that are inherently difficult to analyze comprehensively.
