Development of a Global Energy Management System for non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations: A methodology
(Elsevier, 2017-01-25)For multi-site organisations, informed decision making on capital investment aimed at improving energy performance and cutting carbon emissions, across a global site base, is a complex problem. This work presents the ... -
Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ... -
Development of high-resolution multi-scale modelling system for simulation of coastal-fluvial urban flooding
(Copernicus Publications, 2017-02-16)Urban developments in coastal zones are often exposed to natural hazards such as flooding. In this research, a state-of-the-art, multi-scale nested flood (MSN_Flood) model is applied to simulate complex coastal-fluvial ... -
Diagnostic definitions and figures of male and female Tetanocera punctifrons and T. latifibula, new records of T. punctifrons in Ireland, and notes on biology (Diptera, Sciomyzidae).
(The Society for the study of flies (Diptera) affiliated to the British Entomological and Natural History Society (BENHS), 2017)The presence of Tetanocera punctifrons Rondani, 1868 in Ireland is reconfirmed. The species is distinguished from the very similar T. latifibula Frey, 1924. The female abdomens of both species are described for the first ... -
Different depth sand filters for laboratory treatment of synthetic wastewater with concentrations close to measured septic tank effluent
(2011)The objective of this study was to apply hydraulic and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rates at the upper limits of the design criteria for buried sand filters to test the sand filter depth design criteria. Over a ... -
The dilemma of opportunity in developing a life cycle assessment of emerging aquaculture systems - a case study of a Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) hatchery recirculating aquaculture system
(Elsevier, 2021-01-22)[No abstract available] -
Discussion of “Statistics of model factors in reliability-based design of axially loaded driven piles in sand”
(NRC Research Press, 2018-11-22)[No abstract available] -
Discussion: Interaction factor for large pile groups
(ICE Publishing, 2016-09-27)The authors present an interesting paper on the use of the interaction factor method (IFM) for settlement analysis of large pile groups. -
The distribution, type, popularity, size and availability of river-run gravel and crushed stone for use in land drainage systems, and their suitability for mineral soils in Ireland
(Compuscript for Teagasc (Agriculture and Food Development Authority, Ireland), 2022-06-24)The performance of land drainage systems installed in mineral soils in Ireland is highly variable, and is dependent on, amongst other factors, the quality and suitability of the aggregate used. In Ireland, aggregate for ... -
Dredged marine sediments stabilized/solidified with cement and GGBS: Factors affecting mechanical behaviour and leachability
(Elsevier, 2020-04-08)Management strategies for the safe disposal of contaminated dredged marine sediment are a global scale environmental issue. Stabilization/solidification method was investigated as a sustainable approach for the potential ... -
Driven cast-in-situ pile capacity: insights from dynamic and static load testing
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-02-11)Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as large displacement piles. However, the use of an oversized driving shoe introduces additional complexities influencing shaft resistance mobilisation, over and above those ... -
Dynamics and function of intracellular carbohydrate in activated sludge performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal
(Elsevier, 2010)Recovery of biodegradable plastics from activated sludge is a promising sustainable technology. In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) ¿ a biodegradable plastics material - was produced by activated sludge performing ... -
Economic analysis of pig manure treatment options in Ireland.
(2012)An economic analysis was performed on treatment options for pig manure in Ireland. Costs were based on a 500 sow integrated pig farm producing 10,500 m3 of manure per year at 4.8 % dry matter. The anaerobic digestion of ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(2012)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(Elsevier, 2012-05-18)Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ... -
Effect of sawdust addition on composting of separated raw and anaerobically digested pig manure
(Elsevier, 2012)Manures need the addition of carbon-rich bulking agents to conserve N during composting, which increases the cost of the composting process. The recommended proportion of manure/sawdust, based on a carbon (C):nitrogen (N) ... -

The effect of thinning on mechanical properties of Douglas fir, Norway spruce, and Sitka spruce
(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, ... -
The effects of array configuration on the hydro-environmental impacts of tidal turbines
(Elsevier, 2014-04)The economic viability of tidal turbines will require the deployment of multiple devices in array formations in a manner analogous to wind farms. This research investigates the effects of the configuration of a tidal turbine ...
