Observation and quantification of in situ animal-sediment relations using time-lapse sediment profile imagery (t-spi)
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2002-01-01)
One of the controlling factors in determining colonisation and survivorship of benthic species is the physical nature of the sediment which, in turn, is regulated by the activities of the resident infauna. This study uses ...
Developing a sociological model for researching women’s self and social identities
(SAGE Publications, 2003-11-01)
This paper presents an empirical model for researching women's self and social identities. The model was devised as a theoretical and methodological framework to assist the author to recognize self-identity and social ...
Wavelet and multitaper coherence methods for assessing the elastic thickness of the irish atlantic margin
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2004-11-01)
There have been some inconsistencies in estimates of the effective elastic thickness of the continental lithosphere Te based upon admittance or coherence relationships between gravity and topography. This paper compares ...
Effect of social variation on the irish diet
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2002-11-01)
Both jurisdictions of Ireland have high rates of chronic degenerative diseases, particularly of the cardiovascular system, and Irish migrants have worse health profiles, often lasting at least two generations. The influence ...
Population genetics of a snail species complex in the british isles: littorina saxatilis (olivi), l. neglecta bean and l. tenebrosa (montagu), using sscp analysis of cytochrome-b gene fragments
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2001-02-01)
The intertidal snail Littorina,saxntilis displays a range of shell morphologies associated with a variety of habitats. Since morphology has an environmental and genetic basis, shell-based taxonomy may not accurately reflect ...
Antimicrobial resistance of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli isolates from broiler chickens isolated at an irish poultry processing plant
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003-05-01)
Aims: The antibiotic susceptibility of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates from broiler chickens were determined in order to evaluate the level of antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter species in the Irish ...

BACKGROUND: Although in the last few years some European countries have implemented smoking bans in hospitality venues, the levels of secondhand smoke (SHS) in this occupational sector Could still be extremely high in most ...
Destruction of conspecific bioturbation structures by amphiura filiformis (ophiuroida): evidence from luminophore tracers and in situ time-lapse sediment-profile imagery
(Inter-Research Science Center, 2006-06-13)
Bioturbation processes of a dense ophiuroid assemblage were studied by in situ time-lapse sediment-profile imagery (t-SPI) and laboratory tracer-experiments. The burrows of 4 Amphiura fliformis (Ophiuroida) individuals ...
