Estimation of Maximum Biosolids and Meat and Bone Meal Application to a Low P Index Soil and a Method to Test for Nutrient and Metal Losses
(2013)
The aim of this study was to develop (1) a method for the calculation of the maximum legal rate at which meat and bone meal (MBM) and biosolids should be applied to land, which took into account the soil phosphorus (P) ...
Nutrient dynamics in a peatland forest riparian buffer zone and implications for the establishment of planted saplings.
(2012)
Forestry on peatland throughout the world is now focused on minimising destructive effects to the surrounding environment, especially during harvesting. These effects may be mitigated through the use of well-developed ...
Effect of sawdust addition on composting of separated raw and anaerobically digested pig manure
(Elsevier, 2012)
Manures need the addition of carbon-rich bulking agents to conserve N during composting, which increases the cost of the composting process. The recommended proportion of manure / sawdust, based on a carbon (C): nitrogen ...
Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry.
(Elsevier, 2012-09)
Chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. ...
Electromechanical properties of dried tendon and isoelectrically focused collagen hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2012-08)
Assembling artificial collagenous tissues with structural, functional, and mechanical properties which mimic natural tissues is of vital importance for many tissue engineering applications. While the electro-mechanical ...
A preliminary design methodology for fatigue life prediction of polymer composites for tidal turbine blades
(SAGE, 2012-06-06)
Tidal turbine blades experience significant fatigue cycles during operation and it is expected that fatigue strength will be a major consideration in their design. Glass fibre reinforced polymers are a candidate low-cost ...
Different depth sand filters for laboratory treatment of synthetic wastewater with concentrations close to measured septic tank effluent
(2011)
The objective of this study was to apply hydraulic and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rates at the upper limits of the design criteria for buried sand filters to test the sand filter depth design criteria. Over a ...
A Fluorescently Labeled, Hyperbranched Polymer Synthesized from DE-ATRP for the Detection of DNA Hybridization
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-01)
The early detection of oligonucleotide biomarkers of disease, such as microRNAs, has been established as a fundamental factor in cancer diagnosis. As the levels of these small molecules (microRNAs) in blood have recently ...
Denitrification of a nitrate-rich wastewater using various wood-based media materials
(2006)
This laboratory study examined the use of various wood materials as a carbon source in horizontal flow filters to denitrify nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) from a synthetic wastewater. The filter materials were: sawdust ( Pinus ...
Effect of chemical amendments to dairy soiled water and time between application and rainfall on phosphorus and sediment losses in runoff
(Elsevier, 2012-05-18)
Dairy soiled water (DSW) is a dilute, low nutrient effluent produced on Irish dairy farms through the regular washing down of milking parlours and holding areas. In Ireland, there is no closed period for the land application ...
