Chemical, phase and structural change of mullite synthesized during sintering of kaolin

Sanya, Olajide T.; Owoeye, Seun S.; Isinkaye, Olanireti E.; Simon, Olaleye T. (Wiley and Sons Ltd/American Chemical Society, 2020)

Mullite is of great technological relevance but rarely occurs in nature and as a result different approaches have been adopted in its synthesis from alumina bearing minerals. In this study, chemical, phase and structural ...
Quantitative analysis of redox-inactive ions by AC voltammetry at a polarized Interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions

Suárez-Herrera, Marco Fidel; Scanlon, Micheál D. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)

The interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) is ideally suited to detect redox-inactive ions by their ion transfer. Such electroanalysis, based on the Nernst–Donnan equation, has been predominantly ...
Crystal engineering of porous coordination networks to enable separation of C2 hydrocarbons

Mukherjee, Soumya; Sensharma, Debobroto; Chen, Kai-Jie; Zaworotko, Michael J. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)

Crystal engineering, the field of chemistry that studies the design, properties, and applications of crystals, is exemplified by the emergence over the past thirty years of porous coordination networks (PCNs), including ...
Associations of self-reported physical activity and anxiety symptoms and status among 7,874 Irish adults across harmonised datasets: a DEDIPAC-study

McDowell, Cillian P.; Carlin, Angela; Capranica, Laura; Dillon, Christina; Harrington, Janas M.; Lakerveld, Jeroen; Loyen, Anne; Chun Man Ling, Fiona; Brug, Johannes; MacDonncha, Ciaran; Herring, Matthew P. (BMC, 2020)

Anxiety is an adaptive response to an objective or perceived threat; however, when symptoms become severe and chronic it that can become a maladaptive anxiety disorder. Limited evidence suggests that physical activity may ...
The gender diversity dividend

Killian, Sheila; O'Regan, Philip; Lynch, Ruth; Laheen, Martin (CPA Ireland, 2019)

In a recent article in this magazine, Donna Torres wrote compellingly about the importance of tackling the gender gap across the accounting profession. She made the case that gender diversity is not only a women’s issue ...
