A micro economic investigation of Irish cattle farmer decisions in response to non-linear budget constraints
(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 ... -
The micro-institutional dynamics of entrepreneurship in the university
(2014-10-30)This study explores how micro-institutional dynamics shape the entrepreneurial propensity of academics in the university context. The study was motivated by the need for greater understanding of the micro-foundations of ... -
Micro-mechanical modelling of fretting fatigue crack initiation and wear in Ti-6Al-4V
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-05-02)A micro-mechanical modelling methodology is presented for predicting fretting fatigue crack nucleation in Ti–6Al–4V. The methodology is based on a combination of (i) a unit cell crystal plasticity model of Ti–6Al–4V, (ii) ... -

Microbial community dynamics of farmed Atlantic salmon gill microbiomes during amoebic gill disease episodes
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-14)Gill pathologies, especially the Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), present one of the main health concerns for marine aquaculture worldwide. In Ireland alone, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salarL.) production in fish farms was 12,000 ... -
Microbial community structure and dynamics in anaerobic fluidized-bed and granular sludge-bed reactors: influence of operational temperature and reactor configuration
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-09-11)Methanogenic community structure and dynamics were investigated in two different, replicated anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor configurations [inverted fluidized bed (IFB) and expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB)] ... -
Microbial community structure and methanogenic activity during start-up of psychrophilic anaerobic digesters treating synthetic industrial wastewaters

Microbial ecology of E.coli removal mechanisms and drinking water production in slow sand filters exposed to emerging contaminants
(NUI Galway, 2019-04-19)Slow sand filters (SSFs) are a water treatment technology which can produce high quality water through a combination of physical and the activity of their microbial community. SSFs are easy to operate and have and low ... -
Microbial ecology of methanogenic sludge granulation and its application in the reduction of selenate and selenite
(NUI Galway, 7-05-21)This thesis attempts to address some of the knowledge gaps in the literature around methanogenic granulation. Much existing research focuses on granulation of flocculent biomass up to the point at which satisfactory ... -
The microbial ecology of novel horizontal flow biofilm reactors (HFBRs) used to treat methane, hydrogen sulphide and ammonia contaminated airstreams at 10°C
(2015-05-29)Ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and methane (CH4) are three problematic gaseous emissions that are regularly encountered in agricultural, industrial and municipal waste sectors. Methane is an important greenhouse ... -
Microbial electrochemical technologies: Electronic circuitry and characterization tools
(Elsevier, 2019-11-16)Microbial electrochemistry merges microbiology, electrochemistry and electronics to provide a set of technologies for environmental engineering applications. Understanding the electronic concepts is crucial for effectively ... -
Microbial electrosynthesis: Towards sustainable biorefineries for production of green chemicals from CO2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)Decarbonisation of the economy has become a priority at the global level, and the resulting legislative pressure is pushing the chemical and energy industries away from fossil fuels. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has ... -
Microbial Lipid production from potato processing waste water and simultaneous nutrient removal using oleaginous fungi
(2012-10-09)Microbial lipids can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel production, and use of biowastes as the substrate for microbial lipid production can reduce its production cost. The aims of this research include: (i) isolation ... -
Microbial processes mediating Priming Effects and the coupling of C and N cycling in soil
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-31)Soil is fundamental to agricultural productivity and sustainability. Soil organic matter (SOM) is important as a “revolving nutrient fund”, which determines plant nutrient availability. Microbes are key determinants of SOM ... -
Microbial succession within an anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (asbbr) treating cane vinasse at 55ºc
(FapUNIFESP (SciELO), 2009-08-01)The aim of this work was to investigate the anaerobic biomass formation capable of treating vinasse from the production of sugar cane alcohol, which was evolved within an anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (ASBBR) ... -
Microbiological characterisation and impact of suspended solids on pathogen removal from wastewaters in dairy processing factories
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-29)In this Research Communication we investigate the microbiological profile of 12 dairy wastewater streams from three contrasting Irish dairy processing factories to determine whether faecal indicators/pathogens were present ... -
Microblogging: A Semantic Web and Distributed Approach
(2008)While microblogging has quickly gained a lot of interest in the Web 2.0 community, it still has not been leveraged to the Semantic Web unlike blogs and wikis. This paper describes the features, methods and architecture of ... -
