Temperature profiles of private rental housing occupied by third level students in Ireland
(Civil Engineering Research Assiciation of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)
The Irish Government published a National Student Accommodation Strategy to tackle issues surrounding the
availability of accommodation for students in higher education. 23,634 students could not be accommodated with a ...
Stabilisation for peat improvement: Extent of carbonation and environmental implications
(Elsevier, 2020-06-13)
The construction industry is a large contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, the industry has begun to consider sustainability alongside technical merit, cost and programme when analysing construction ...
Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements when stressed under long-term ...
Life cycle assessment of fish and seafood processed products – A review of methodologies and new challenges
(Elsevier, 2020-12-14)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely applied in many different sectors, but the marine products and seafood segment have received relatively little attention in the past. In recent decades, global fish production ...
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 ...
Evaluating long-term performance of low-cost adsorbents using small-scale adsorption column experiments
(Elsevier, 2016-05-31)
This study investigated a novel method of predicting the long-term phosphorus removal performance of large-scale adsorption filters, using data derived from short-term, small-scale column experiments. The filter media ...
The short-term effects of management changes on watertable position and nutrients in shallow groundwater in a harvested peatland forest
(Elsevier, 2014-09-01)
Management changes such as drainage, fertilisation, afforestation and harvesting (clearfelling) of forested peatlands influence watertable (WT) position and groundwater concentrations of nutrients. This study investigated ...
Assessment of water quality using Water Quality Index (WQI) models and advanced geostatistical technique
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)
Water quality index (WQI) models are popular tools to evaluate the quality of water; as such they have been
developed and used by many agencies worldwide. However, the WQI model may generate excessive uncertainties in ...
Key considerations in the design of a one-stop-shop retrofit model
(Civil Engineering Research Assiciation of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)
The Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan emphasizes the need for increased retrofit activity within the built
environment. As such, the plan has set targets for the completion of 500,000 energy efficient retrofits by ...
Effects of substrate stress and light intensity on enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a photo-activated sludge system
(Elsevier, 2020-11-06)
Photo-activated sludge (PAS) systems are an emerging wastewater treatment technology where microalgae provide oxygen to bacteria without the need for external aeration. There is limited knowledge on the optimal conditions ...
