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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Nitrogen-limitation-induced carbon and phosphorus fluxes in anaerobic/aerobic sequencing batch reactors
(Elseiver, 2010)
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) has been applied widely in wastewater treatment plants. However, deterioration or failure of EBPR often happens because: (i) of the dominance of glycogen-accumulating organisms ...
A framework for determining unsaturated zone time lags at catchment scale
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-12-10)
The responses of waterbodies to agricultural programmes of measures are frequently delayed by hydrological time lags through the unsaturated zone and groundwater. Time lag may therefore, impede the achievement of remediation ...
Community engaged learning: A building engineering case study
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-28)
ABSTRACT: Community engaged learning is a form of experiential education with a civic underpinning. Community engaged
learning is embedded with the civil engineering curriculum at NUI Galway and is framed by a research ...
