Irish estuaries: Water quality status and monitoring implications under the water framework directive
(2011)
The status of water quality of Irish estuaries is reviewed; this sheds light on the rationale behind the design of the national monitoring programme. Relative to other EU Member States, Ireland's coastal monitoring programme ...
Nested circulation modelling of inter-tidal zones: details of a nesting approach incorporating moving boundaries
(2010)
Nested circulation models developed to date either exclude the flooding and drying process or prohibit flooding and drying of nested boundaries; they are therefore ill-suited to the accurate modelling of inter-tidal areas. ...
Modelling nutrients and chlorophyll-a dynamics in an Irish brackish waterbody
(Elsevier, 2004)
This paper presents aspects of a research investigation into nutrient fluxes into and out of an important Irish estuary, Wexford Harbour, located in the southeast of Ireland. Details of the methodology applied, the data ...
The performance of constructed wetlands treating primary, secondary and dairy soiled water in Ireland (a review).
(Journal of Environmental Management, 2011-11-01)
In Ireland, no database detailing the design, influent loading rates or performance of constructed wetlands (CWs) exists. On account of this, they are designed without any protocol based on empirical data. The aim of ...
An integrated approach to trophic assessment of coastal waters incorporating measurement, modelling and water quality classification
(2012)
Various protocols have been developed for trophic assessment of coastal waters but most incorporate single value compliance criteria for water quality parameters which, in reality, exhibit significant spatial variation. ...
Operational coefficient of consolidation around a pile group driven in clay/silt
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)
Although finite element packages facilitating coupled consolidation analyses are
increasingly in use, many practitioners still favour linear uncoupled analysis out of
familiarity with the use of coefficients of consolidation. ...
PTP/IP adapter design and connectivity techniques for legacy imaging appliances
(IEEE, 2007)
PTP/IP is an emerging connectivity standard for networked imaging appliances. It combines the ease of use and seamless connectivity of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) with the ubiquity of TCP/IP networks. In this paper we ...
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 ...
An experimental and computational investigation of the post-yield behaviour of trabecular bone during vertebral device subsidence
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)
Interbody fusion device subsidence has been reported clinically. An enhanced understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the surrounding bone would allow for accurate predictions of vertebral subsidence. The multiaxial ...
The influence of random interactions and decision heuristics on norm evolution in social networks
(Springer, 2011-05)
In this paper we explore the effect that random social interactions have on the emergence and evolution of social norms in a simulated population of agents. In our model agents observe the behaviour of others and update ...
