Assessment of intermittently loaded woodchip and sand filters to treat dairy soiled water

Murnane, J.G; Brennan, R.B; Healy, M.G; Fenton, O (Elsevier, 2016)

Land application of dairy soiled water (DSW) is expensive relative to its nutrient replacement value. The use of aerobic filters is an effective alternative method of treatment and potentially allows the final effluent ...
Atypical features of thermus thermophilus succinate:quinone reductase

Kolaj-Robin, Olga; Noor, Mohamed R; O'Kane, Sarah R; Baymann, Frauke; Soulimane, Tewfik (Public Library of Science, 2013)

The Thermus thermophilus succinate:quinone reductase (SQR), serving as the respiratory complex II, has been homologously produced under the control of a constitutive promoter and subsequently purified. The detailed ...
Augmentation cystoplasty and extracellular matrix scaffolds: an ex vivo comparative study with autogenous detubularised Ileum

Davis, Niall Francis; Mooney, Rory; Callanan, Anthony; Flood, Hugh D.; McGloughlin, Timothy M. (Public Library of Science, 2011)

Background: Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) with autogenous ileum remains the current gold standard surgical treatment for many patients with end-stage bladder disease. However, the presence of mucus-secreting epithelium ...
Behavior of heavy metals during fluidized bed combustion of poultry litter

Lynch, Deirdre; Low, Fiona; Henihan, Anne Marie; Garcia, Alberto; Kwapinski, Witold; Zhang, Lian; Leahy, J.J. (American Chemical Society, 2014)

In this study, we have examined the behavior of heavy metals during fluidized bed combustion of poultry litter. Heavy metals examined include As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn. Solid and gaseous streams ...
A bioactive metallurgical grade porous silicon-polytetrafluoroethylene sheet for guided bone regeneration applications
