Mechanical properties estimation by non-destructive testing of Irish hardwood round timber from thinnings for construction purposes
(Department of Forestry Policy and Economics, University of Sopron, Hungary, 2018-10-25)
Thinning involves the removal of competitors of high quality trees, and trees for extraction racks, all to favour the growth of the selected trees. Many felled trees are small-diameter and in Ireland hardwood thinnings are ...
Carbonation in stabilised peat: an accelerated pilot study
(ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)
Due to stringent environmental regulations, embodied carbon estimates are being used increasingly to assess the environmental
impact of major building and infrastructure projects, including their geotechnical components. ...
Irish timber - characterisation, potential and innovation
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2014-09-28)
In order to increase the utilisation of Irish timber in construction and novel engineered wood products, the mechanical and physical properties of the material must be established. For timber products used for structural ...
Increasing resource efficiency in wastewater treatment plants: EPA Research Report 168
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2016-03)
The focus of this project was the resource efficiency
of Irish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The
perspective of the report is both operational (economic) and environmental. Wastewater treatment is a
resource-intensive ...
Optimal design and operation of small-scale wastewater treatment plants: The Irish case: EPA Research Report 255
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2018-08)
There are many variables which must be considered when designing and operating a wastewater treatment system. The key objectives of this research were to develop software tools to assist in the selection and management of ...

Municipal wastewater treatment plant discharges are a recognised source of human pathogenic viruses.
Of concern within this group is norovirus the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis ...
Vortex drop shaft structures: state-of-the-art and future trends
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2019-09-01)
Vortex drop shaft structures have played a critical role in hydraulic engineering; from one of their first
applications in hydroelectric energy dissipation in the 1940s, to numerous contemporary installations throughout
modern ...
Enhancing low grade sitka spruce glulam beams with bonded-in BFRP rods
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2014)
The reinforcement of timber elements using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates
is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the stiffness of members, while at
the same time reducing the variability ...
Laboratory foundation model with pyrite-bearing mudstone fill
(Thomas Telford (ICE Publishing), 2017-11-29)
Damage to domestic dwellings in the greater Dublin area of Ireland engendered by the expansion of the underfloor fill material containing pyrite has become a high-profile national problem in recent years. In this paper, a ...
Estrogen deficiency impairs integrin αvβ3-mediated mechanosensation by osteocytes and alters osteoclastogenic paracrine signalling
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2019-03-15)
The integrin alpha(v)beta(3) has been shown to play an important role in osteocyte mechanotransduction. It has been reported that there are fewer beta(3) integrin-containing cells in osteoporotic bone cells. Osteocytes ...
