Kilgreany, Co. Waterford: biography of a cave
(Wordwell, 2002)The title of this paper reflects the idea that certain places in the landscape have a biography of their own (Bradley 2000 48). The archaeological material recovered from Kilgreany Cave is examined and the evidence for ... -
Excavations at Farranastack, Co. Kerry: evidence for the use of shaft furnaces in medieval iron production
(Wordwell, 2005)Recent archaeological excavations in Farranastack townland, Co. Kerry, revealed a pit that contained a small but interesting collection of industrial residues. Farranastack takes its place among a growing number of sites ... -
Recent archaeological discoveries in Dunmore Cave, County Kilkenny : further questions regarding Viking activity at the site
(Kilkenny Archaeological Society, 2007)Recent archaeological monitoring in Dunmore Cave resulted in the recovery of a quantity of human bones, animal bones and artefacts. The first radiocarbon dates for human remains from the site were obtained and, overall, ... -
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are effective sentinels of water quality irrespective of their size
(2010)Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are recognised biomonitors in determining the presence and viability of the human waterborne pathogens Cryptosporidium parvum, C. hominis, Giardia intestinalis and microsporidia in ... -
Artefacts and bones from Glencurran cave
(Burrenbeo Trust, 2010)Glencurran Cave, in the heart of the Burren, has been the site of important archaeological discoveries since 2004. -
History of the Zebra Mussel/ICAIS Conference series
(2010)The International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species (ICAIS) (http://www.icais.org) has evolved over the last two decades into a broad comprehensive international forum for the dissemination, outreach and review ... -
Open-access journal Aquatic Invasions: an important part of the developing European information and early warning system on invasive alien species
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre - REABIC, 2011)Aquatic Invasions is considered as an example of an effective information sharing tool, currently helping to increase prompt reporting of records of new invasive species threatening European biodiversity. -
Predictions for the spread, population density and impacts of Corbicula fluminea in Ireland
(2012)In 2010, the Asian clam, Corbicula fluminea, was found for the first time in Ireland. The species is considered to be one of the most aggressive freshwater invaders causing strong economic and ecological impacts. This ... -
A new archaeological site in the Burren : Moneen Cave
(Burrenbeo Trust, 2012)The Burren is renowned for its rich archaeological heritage as well as for its impressive cave systems both of which made the discovery of a new cave with archaeological material especially exciting. Moneen Cave is ... -
History of Dreissena research and the ICAIS gateway to aquatic invasions research
(2012)Research on the ecology and impacts of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) has developed in parallel with the long history of their spread across Europe and to North America. There is less scientific knowledge however ... -
Syndactyly in pigs: a review of previous research and the presentation of eight archaeological specimens
(Wiley, 2013)This paper reviews evidence for the rare condition of porcine syndactyly. It describes eight archaeological examples from Britain, Northern Ireland and France. Syndactyly refers to the partial or complete fusion of two ... -
Antifungal properties of nanosized ZnS particles synthesised by sonochemical precipitation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)Zinc Sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles, synthesised by sono-chemical route employing zinc chloride and sodium sulphide, displayed significant anti-fungal property against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans (MTCC 227) at a ... -
Solar photocatalysis for water disinfection: materials and reactor design
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)As of 2010, access to clean drinking water is a human right according to UN regulations. Nevertheless, the number of people living in areas without safe drinking water is predicted to increase by three billion by the end ... -
Photocatalytic activity indicator inks for probing a wide range of surfaces
(Elsevier, 2014)Three photocatalyst inks based on the redox dyes, Resazurin (Rz), Basic Blue 66 (BB66) and Acid Violet 7 (AV7, are used to assess the photocatalytic activities of a variety of different materials, such as commercial paint, ... -
New insights into the mechanism of visible light photocatalysis
(ACS Publications, 2014)In recent years, the area of developing visible-lightactive photocatalysts based on titanium dioxide has been enormously investigated due to its wide range of applications in energy and environment related fields. Various ... -
Antimicrobial properties of vertically aligned nano-tubular copper
(Elsevier, 2014)In this work, the antimicrobial properties of vertically aligned nano-tubular Cu arrays (NT-Cu) fabricated via a template-based electrodeposition approach were investigated. The NT-Cu display good bactericidal activity ... -

Alien aquatics in Europe : assessing the relative environmental and socioeconomic impacts of invasive aquatic macroinvertebrates and other taxa
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre - REABIC, 2015)Invasive alien aquatic species, including marine and freshwater macroinvertebrates, have become increasingly important in terms of both environmental and socio-economic impacts. In order to assess their environmental and ... -
Profiling of the molecular weight and structural isomer abundance of macroalgae-derived phlorotannins
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015)Phlorotannins are a group of complex polymers of phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) unique to macroalgae. These phenolic compounds are integral structural components of the cell wall in brown algae, but also play ...
