As part of a European Union climate change and energy package that aims to reduce
greenhouse gases by 20%, reach 20% penetration of renewable energy, and improve
energy efficiency by 20% by 2020, Ireland has committed ...
The epidemiology, characterisation and vaccination responses to equine influenza (EI) in Ireland were studied between 2007 and 2010. Epidemiological evidence indicated a seasonal pattern to outbreaks with 50% and 39% ...
The research was carried out in conjunction with the commercially run Teagasc
Hill Sheep Farm, Leenaun, Co. Mayo and with Met Éireann. The aim was to enhance
habitat status and to maximise biodiversity conservation in ...
Acrylic bone cements, based on poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), have been widely used in orthopaedic surgery for the fixation and force distribution of joint prostheses in cemented arthroplasties. However, PMMA continues ...
The network topologies on which many natural and synthetic systems are built provide ideal settings for the emergence of complex phenomena. One well-studied manifestation of this, called a cascade or avalanche, is
observed ...
Organic wastewater pollution arising from industry is a growing concern. Industries are
increasingly faced with more restrictive environmental regulation with regards to
pollutant emissions and an increased interest in ...
