A novel method to rapidly assess the suitability of water treatment residual and crusted concrete for the mitigation of point and nonpoint source nutrient pollution
(Elsevier, 2019-07-02)
Freshwater ecosystems worldwide are at risk of becoming degraded as a result of excessive inputs of phosphorus (P) associated with terrestrial activities. This study describes a novel methodology to rapidly assess the ...
A Multiaxial Fatigue Damage Model for Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites
(Elsevier (Scienc Direct), 2013)
A multiaxial fatigue damage model for fibre reinforced polymercomposite materials is presented. The model combines (i) fatigue-induced fibre strength and modulus degradation, (ii) irrecoverable cyclic strain effects and ...
Single Cyclized Molecule Structure from RAFT Homopolymerization of Multi-vinyl Monomers
(2012)
We explore a kinetically controlled strategy to suppress the gelation in the homopolymerization of multi-vinyl monomers (MVMs) via RAFT polymerization. We report the generation of 3D single cyclized polymer structures from ...
SMART MOVE - a smartphone-based intervention to promote physical activity in primary care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-29)
Background: Sedentary lifestyles are now becoming a major concern for governments of developed and developing countries with physical inactivity related to increased all-cause mortality, lower quality of life, and increased ...
Haemodynamic performance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during recovery from total hip arthroplasty
(2013-03-05)
Background: Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and ...
Human centred design considerations for connected health devices for the older adult
(MDPI, 2014-06-04)
Connected health devices are generally
designed for unsupervised use, by
non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the
individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices ...
A quantitative microbial risk assessment model for total coliforms and e. coli in surface runoff following application of biosolids to grassland
(Elsevier, 2017-03-06)
In Ireland, the land application of biosolids is the preferred option of disposing of municipal sewage waste. Biosolids provide nutrients in the form of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and increases organic matter. It is ...
Evaluating the effect of increasing ceramic content on the mechanical properties, material microstructure and degradation of selective laser sintered PCL/b-TCP materials
(Elsevier, 2015-06-06)
Orthopaedic scaffold materials were fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL) and composite PCL β-tricalcium phosphate (PCL/β-TCP) powders using selective laser sintering (SLS). Incorporating β-TCP particles is ...
Impacts of zeolite, alum and polyaluminium chloride amendments mixed with agricultural wastes on soil column leachate, and CO2 and CH4 emissions.
(Elsevier, 2017-11-02)
This study aimed to quantify leaching losses of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C), as well as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions from stored slurry and from packed soil columns surface applied with ...
A three-scale finite element investigation into the effects of tissue mineralisation and lamellar organisation in human cortical and trabecular bone
(Elsevier, 2012-03-20)
Bone is an exceptional material that is lightweight for efficient movement but also exhibits excellent strength and stiffness imparted by a composite material of organic proteins and mineral crystals that are intricately ...
