Advancements and challenges in multidomain multicargo delivery vehicles
Pugliese, Eugenia; Coentro, João Q.; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I. (Wiley, 2018-02-15)Reparative and regenerative processes are well‐orchestrated temporal and spatial events that are governed by multiple cells, molecules, signaling pathways, and interactions thereof. Yet again, currently available ... -
Appraisal and ranking of poly-aluminium chloride, ferric chloride and alum for the treatment of dairy soiled water
Mohamed, A.Y.A.; Siggins, Alma; Healy, Mark G.; Ó hUallacháin, Daire; Fenton, Owen; Tuohy, Patrick (Elsevier, 2020-04-29)Land spreading of dairy soiled water (DSW) may result in pollution of ground and surface waters. Treatment of DSW through sludge-supernatant separation using chemical coagulants is a potential option to reduce the negative ... -
Chemical Amendment of Dairy Slurry For The Control of Phosphorus in Runoff From Grassland
Brennan, Raymond B. (2011-09-28)Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland to a waterbody can adversely affect water quality. Land application of dairy cattle slurry can result in incidental P losses to runoff in addition to increased chronic P losses from soil ... -
The collagen suprafamily: From biosynthesis to advanced biomaterial development
Sorushanova, Anna; Delgado, Luis M.; Wu, Zhuning; Shologu, Naledi; Kshirsagar, Aniket; Raghunath, Rufus; Mullen, Anne M.; Bayon, Yves; Pandit, Abhay; Raghunath, Michael; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I. (Wiley, 2018-08-20)Collagen is the oldest and most abundant extracellular matrix protein that has found many applications in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. First, an overview of the family of collagens and their ... -
The effect of thinning on mechanical properties of Douglas fir, Norway spruce, and Sitka spruce
Krajnc, Luka; Farrelly, Niall; Harte, Annette M. (Springer Verlag, 2019-01-07)Context: The relationship between silvicultural management and the quality of timber produced is not entirely elucidated. Aims: The effects of thinning on structural grade-determining properties of wood (elastic modulus, ... -
In the quest of the optimal collagen type II source for articular cartilage engineering
Wu, Zhuning (NUI Galway, 2021-08-26)Articular cartilage is a specialised connective tissue of joints, which lacks blood vessels, lymphatics and nerves. The limited capability of articular cartilage to self-repair renders its regeneration a formidable challenge. ... -
The influence of crown and stem characteristics on timber quality in softwoods
Krajnc, Luka; Farrelly, Niall; Harte, Annette M. (Elsevier, 2018-12-28)The relationships between several crown and tree properties and timber quality were examined on three softwood species: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) and Sitka ... -
Irish farm succession and inheritance; an examination of farmers’ economic decision-making strategies as socially-constructed risk assessment
Leonard, Brian (NUI Galway, 2019-03-28)Intergenerational farm transfer is increasingly viewed as fundamental to the sustainability and development of global agriculture, with an expectation that younger farmers, with more effective and efficient production ... -
Mechanical characterisation of green Sitka spruce logs
Krajnc, Luka; Farrelly, Niall; Harte, Annette M. (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)ABSTRACT: Timber is by its nature a very heterogeneous material. Many different factors impact its mechanical properties, from tree species to environment (climate, competition, soil…). While a number of studies in the ... -
A micro economic investigation of Irish cattle farmer decisions in response to non-linear budget constraints
McCormack, Michele (2016-07)This thesis will examine the effects of policy developments on the Irish beef sector, with a particular focus on agricultural subsidy payments. As a member of the European Union, Irish agriculture is governed by the Common ... -
Relationships between wood properties of small clear specimens and structural-sized boards in three softwood species
Krajnc, Luka; Farrelly, Niall; Harte, Annette M. (De Gruyter, 2019-06-12)Research on the mechanical and physical properties of wood is commonly carried out on either small clear specimens or structural-sized boards. The first approach was more frequently utilised in the past, while the latter ... -
Three essays on the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy on Irish farms
O'Neill, Stephen (2014-03-31)Since its establishment by the Treaty of Rome in 1958, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has had a huge impact on the agricultural sector in Europe and more widely. The original CAP altered production incentives, ...
