Polychlorinated biphenyl rhizoremediation by Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 derivatives, using a Sinorhizobium meliloti nod system to drive bph gene expression.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)Rhizoremediation of organic chemicals requires high-level expression of biodegradation genes in bacterial strains that are excellent rhizosphere colonizers. Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a biocontrol strain that was shown ... -
Novel AroA with high tolerance to glyphosate, encoded by a gene of Pseudomonas putida 4G-1 isolated from an extremely polluted environment in China
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)Glyphosate has been used globally as a safe herbicide for weed control. It inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (AroA), which is a key enzyme in the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathway in ... -
First report of an entomopathogenic nematode from continental Portugal
(Parasitological Institute of SAS, Košice, 2007)In continental Portugal no information is available concerning the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes. During a survey in several different habitats from the southern regions of the country, several isolates where ... -
A game assessment metric for the online gamer
(Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, Romania, 2007)This paper describes a new game assessment metric for the online gamer. The metric is based on a mathematical model currently used for network planning assessment. Beside the traditional network-based parameters such as ... -

A new optical method of continuously analysing the surface properties of a single pendant drop while obtaining quality bulk spectral and refractive index measurements of the liquid-under-test
(IOP Publishing, 2009)The classical stalagmometer has been replaced by the tensiometer to measure surface properties from drop volume. From the drop period T1, converted into volume, the surface properties of the liquid can be obtained. In the ... -
Plant-associated bacterial degradation of toxic organic compounds in soil
(MDPI, 2009)A number of toxic synthetic organic compounds can contaminate environmental soil through either local (e.g., industrial) or diffuse (e.g., agricultural) contamination. Increased levels of these toxic organic compounds in ... -
Developing educational screencasts: A practitioner’s perspective
(Information Science Reference, 2010)YouTube to iTunes, company to college websites, there is a seemingly exponential explosion in creating screencasts. A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen activity, often with an audio commentary. Short and ... -
Talent on demand? Talent management in the German and Irish subsidiaries of a US multinational corporation
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2010)Purpose – As the interest in talent management (TM) gathers momentum, this paper aims to unravel how talent is managed in multinational corporations, what factors mediate the talent management process and what computerised ... -
Assessing for learning and quantitative literacy on a first year business quantitative techniques module
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2010)This project initially set out to support student learning in a first year business quantitative techniques subject through the development of online formative tests for each topic, with integrated feedback and multimedia ... -
Whole-cell fluorescent biosensors for bioavailability and biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls.
(MDPI, 2010)Whole-cell microbial biosensors are one of the newest molecular tools used in environmental monitoring. Such biosensors are constructed through fusing a reporter gene such as lux, gfp or lacZ,to a responsive promoter. There ... -
Fundamental limits of measurement in telecommunications: Experimental and modeling studies in a test optical network on proposal for the reform of telecommunication quantitations
(IOP Publishing, 2011)Proposals for a review of the limits of measurement for telecommunications are made. The measures are based on adapting work from the area of chemical metrology for the field of telecommunications. Currie has introduced ... -
RAST model: Simulation of tensiotraces to facilitate drophad engineering
(IOP Publishing, 2011)Tensiography is a technique that determines the physical and chemical properties of a liquid by illuminating a growing pendant drop from within using a source fibre. Light reflected internally at the surface of the drop ... -
Orange alerts: Lessons from an outdoor case study
(IEEE, 2011)Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is of particular relevance to those who may suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and, of course, their carers. The slow but progressive nature of the disease, together with its ... -
Alginate beads as a storage, delivery and containment system for genetically modified PCB degrader and PCB biosensor derivatives of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2011)Aims: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113Rifpcb is a genetically engineered rhizosphere bacterium with the potential to degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). F113Rifpcbgfp and F113L::1180gfp are biosensor strains capable of ... -
Experimental observations with ultra-speed imaging revealing new complex detail of drop separation processes from a large diameter drophead
(IOP Publishing, 2011)An ultraspeed (5000 frames a second) camera has been used to record the drop separating from the photometric instrument the tensiograph. New insights into drop separation processes which have been evaluated in terms of the ... -
An examination of strategy development processes in family firms in the south east of Ireland
(Institute of Technology Carlow, 2011)The purpose of this study is to examine the process of strategy development in family firms. The study will apply the generic model developed by Hart & Banbury (1994) of strategy development with some modifications and a ... -
Commencement measurements giving fundamental surface tension determinations in tensiometry
(IOP Publishing, 2011)This study provides experimental testing of a ray-tracing model of the tensiotrace that explores the measurement potential of a well-defined optical position in the tensiotrace signal known as the 'commencement'. This point ... -
An investigation of students' experiences of using virtual learning environments: implications for academic professional development.
(EDIN, 2011)Introduction Because virtual learning environments (VLEs) are amongst the most widely adopted technologies in higher education, and to justify the widespread investment in VLE technology, it is important to study patterns ...
