Analysis of shear-induced platelet aggregation and breakup
(Springer, 2015-07-31)
To better understand the mechanisms leading to the formation of thrombi of hazardous sizes in the bulk of the blood, we have developed a kinetic model of shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). In our model, shear rate ...
Use of zeolite with alum and PAC amendments to mitigate runoff losses of P, N and suspended solids from agricultural wastes applied to land
(ASA, CSSA, and SSSA, 2015)
Diffuse pollutant losses containing phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and suspended solids (SS) can occur when agricultural wastes are applied to soil. This study aimed to mitigate P, N and SS losses in runoff from grassed ...
Improving spectral library search by redefining similarity measures
(Journal Of Chemical Information And Modeling, 2015-04-22)
Similarity plays a central role in spectral library search. The goal of spectral library search is to identify those spectra in a reference library of known materials that most closely match an unknown query spectrum, on ...
Nutrient, metal and microbial loss in surface runoff following treated sludge and dairy cattle slurry application to an Irish grassland soil
(Elsevier, 2015)
Treated municipal sewage sludge ( biosolids ) and dairy cattle slurry (DCS) may be applied to agricultural land as an organic fertiliser. This study investigates losses of nutrients in runoff water (nitrogen (N) and ...
A practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay: numerical modelling
(IOS Press, 2015)
In this paper, a practical approach for the consideration of single pile and pile group installation effects in clay is presented using some novel procedures implemented in the finite element (FE) software package PLAXIS ...
Use of industrial by-products and natural media to adsorb nutrients, metals and organic carbon from drinking water
(2015)
Filtration technology is well established in the water sector but is limited by inability to remove targeted contaminants, found in surface and groundwater, which can be damaging to human health. This study optimises the ...
Waternomics: A cross-site data collection to support the development of a water information platform
(Elsevier, 2015-09-01)
In Europe, 20 to 40% of water is being wasted due to poor infrastructure, consumer negligence and lack of proper resource management. Effective and efficient management of water resources requires a holistic approach ...
IEEE POCO 2015 brings fun and education to Glasgow [Conference Reports]

An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands
(Elsevier, 2015-01-29)
In addition to the customary drivers of cost and timely project delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have come to prominence in recent years as major design considerations in all aspects of large-scale ...
Chondrogenic induction of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from Wharton's jelly embedded in alginate hydrogel and without added growth factor: an alternative stem cell source for cartilage tissue engineering
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-30)
Background: Due to their intrinsic properties, stem cells are promising tools for new developments in tissue engineering and particularly for cartilage tissue regeneration. Although mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from bone ...
