Harvesting effects on biomass and nutrient retention in Phragmites australis in a free-water surface constructed wetland in western Ireland
(2007)
The aim of this study was to examine the seasonal variation in biomass, total nitrogen (Tot-N) and total phosphorus (Tot-P) content of Phragmites australis in a 3-cell free-water surface (FWS) constructed wetland in western ...
Hyperbranched PEGmethacrylate linear pDMAEMA block copolymer as an efficient non-viral gene delivery vector
(Elsevier, 2012-06-02)
A unique hyperbranched polymeric system with a linear poly-2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (pDMAEMA) block and a hyperbranched polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EGDMA) ...
Permeable reactive interceptors: blocking diffuse nutrient and greenhouse gases losses in key areas of the farming landscape
(2014)
Engineered remediation technologies such as denitrifying bioreactors target single contaminants along a nutrient transfer continuum. However, mixed contaminant discharges to a water body are more common from agricultural ...
Smart cameras: 2D affine models for determining subject facial expressions
(IEEE, 2010-07-15)
In this paper we consider how next generation of smart cameras will move beyond face detection and tracking to develop more useful analysis tools for determining the expressions and emotions of the subjects in images. An ...
Factors affecting nitrate distribution in shallow groundwater under a beef farm in South Eastern Ireland
(Elsevier, 2009-07)
Groundwater contamination was characterised using a methodology which combines shallow groundwater geochemistry data from 17 piezometers over a 2 yr period in a statistical framework and hydro-geological techniques. Nitrate-N ...
Methodology for the location of a subsurface permeable reactive barrier for the remediation of point source pollution on an Irish farm
(Teagasc, 2008-09)
Nutrient loss from agricultural sources to water continues to be a national challenge. Diffuse pollution from agricultural sources is considered to be the primary cause of slight-to-moderate water pollution in Ireland, but ...
Repairability smackdown: how do the latest tablet models stack up?
(IEEE, 2013)
Tablets are the latest craze in the consumer electronics (CE) world. New models are hitting the shelves every few months, many featuring new screen and speaker technologies and the latest in low-power, high-performance ...
Digital elevation modelling of individual monuments from aerial photographs
(John Wiley & Sons, 1999)
Digital elevation models (DEM) are crucial data products for a variety of geographic applications, and their generation directly from digitized stereopairs of vertical aerial photographs has recently been accomplished. ...
A Framework for Digital Wide-Area Survey from Aerial Photographs
(Wordwell Ltd., 1998)
Despite the potential offered by modern computer technology to the labour-intensive work of 'Aerial Archaeology', few applications have been published. Where developments have been made, they have tended to be carried out ...
Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry.
(Soil Use and Management, 2011-06-01)
The aim of this paper is to identify chemicals with the potential to reduce P losses from agricultural grassland arising from the land application of dairy cattle slurry. It also aims to identify optimal application rates ...
