The impact of alternating drainage and inundation cycles on geochemistry and microbiology of intact peat cores
(Elsevier, 2022-11-02)The rewetting of degraded peatlands has been adopted as a method to address climate change. Concerns have been raised about the effects of peat inundation and drying cycles, in more extreme climate events, on the potential ... -
The Impact of Biochar Addition on Nutrient Leaching and Soil Properties from Tillage Soil Amended with Pig Manure
(Springer, 2014-02)The application of pig manure to a tillage soil can result in pollution of surface and groundwater bodies. Countries in the European Union are required to comply with the Water Framework Directive, which states that all ... -
Impact of biochar addition to soil on greenhouse gas emissions following pig manure application
(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
(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 ... -
Impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry on phosphorus, suspended sediment and metal loss to runoff from a grassland soil
(2011)Emerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle ... -
Impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry on phosphorus, suspended sediment and metal loss to runoff from a grassland soil.
(Science of the Total Environment, 2011-11-01)Emerging remediation technologies such as chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry have the potential to reduce phosphorus (P) solubility and consequently reduce P losses arising from land application of dairy cattle ... -
Impact of chemically amended pig slurry on greenhouse gas emissions, soil properties and leachate.
(2013)The effectiveness of chemical amendment of pig slurry to ameliorate phosphorus (P) losses in runoff is well studied, but research mainly has concentrated only on the runoff pathway. The aims of this study were to investigate ... -
The impact of Healthcare 4.0 on the healthcare service quality: A systematic literature review
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-03-24)Healthcare 4.0 is inspired by Industry 4.0 and its application has resulted in a paradigmatic shift in the field of healthcare. However, the impact of this digital revolution in the healthcare system on healthcare service ... -
Impact of histology region size on measured dielectric properties of biological tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-05-22)Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is necessary for the design and development of electromagnetic medical technologies. Both electromagnetic diagnostic and therapeutic techniques depend ... -
Impact of historical legacy pesticides on achieving legislative goals in Europe
(Elsevier, 2023-02-26)Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to optimise food production. However, the movement of pesticides into water bodies negatively impacts aquatic environments. The European Union (EU) aims to make food systems fair, ... -
The impact of Industry 4.0 on the medical device regulatory product life cycle compliance
(MDPI, 2022-11-07)The fourth industrial revolution, also referred to as Industry 4.0, has resulted in many changes within the MedTech Industry. The MedTech industry is changing from interconnected manufacturing systems using cyber-physical ... -
The impact of medical cyber–physical systems on healthcare service delivery
(Emerald, 2022-04-12)Purpose The pandemic has reinforced the need for revamping the healthcare service delivery systems around the world to meet the increased challenges of modern-day illnesses. The use of medical cyber–physical system (MCPS) ... -
Impact of P inputs on source-sink P dynamics of sediment along an agricultural ditch network
(Elsevier, 2019-12-19)Phosphorus (P) loss from intensive dairy farms is a pressure on water quality in agricultural catchments. At farm scale, P sources can enter in-field drains and open ditches, resulting in transfer along ditch networks and ... -
Impact of radial heterogeneities of biological tissues on dielectric measurements
(Curran Associates Proceedings, 2017-09-11)The dielectric properties of biological tissues are relevant in dosimetry studies and in radio-frequency and microwave medical applications. Broadband tissue dielectric data is commonly acquired using open-ended coaxial ... -
