Investigation of radon prevention and mitigation: from radon measurements to specification for soil depressurisation systems
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-27)
Reduction of indoor radon concentration in buildings is considered to be an important public health issue, since radon was recognised as the leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking by the World Health Organisation. ...
Advancements in structural and functional imaging using Fourier domain optical coherence tomography
(NUI Galway, 2020-07-29)
