A Lexicon of Patent Jargon [IP Corner]
(2014)Often when I am doing work related to patents and IP, I find myself talking a different language. It is a strange legal dialect that patent lawyers have developed over many years. Now while its original purpose was ... -
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 ... -
Life cycle assessment of sitka spruce forest products grown in Ireland
(Springer, 2023-08-28)Purpose The purpose of this study is to quantify the environmental impacts of Sitka spruce timber products harvested from the forestry sector in Ireland. This data is typically country-specific and is required to accurately ... -
Lifecycle environmental and economic performance of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) in Ireland
(Elsevier, 2016-01-16)Directives in the European Union are ensuring that buildings in this region are moving towards nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB). For countries like Ireland, which has a temperate oceanic climate, a key to achieving NZEB ... -
Linear irregular wave generation in a numerical wave tank
(Elsevier, 2015-07-09)In the design of any floating or fixed marine structure, it is vital to test models in order to understand the fluid/structure interaction involved. A relatively inexpensive method, compared to physical model testing, of ... -
The link between off campus work for students, reduced academic performance and increased mental health issues
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2018-03-05)Despite the Free Fees Initiative (introduced in 1996) Irish students pay an annual registration fee of 3,000 (Cassells, 2016). This, in combination with rising accommodation and living costs, means that the annual cost ... -
Liquid phase optimisation in a horizontal flow biofilm reactor (HFBR) technology for the removal of methane at low temperatures
(Elsevier, 2014-01-03)Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas often emitted in low concentrations from waste sector activities. Biological oxidation techniques have the potential to offer effective methods for the remediation of such emissions. ... -
Liquid phase optimisation in a horizontal flow biofilm reactor (HFBR) technology for the removal of methane at low temperatures.
