(International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association, 2021-02-18)The aim of this present study was to compare the reactive strength index (RSI) characteristics and trial to trial reliability of U17, U19 and Senior female international soccer players. Fifty – seven elite female soccer ... -
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 ... -
Application of endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens and a bacterial consortium to Brassica napus can increase plant height and biomass under greenhouse and field conditions
(Frontiers Media, 2017)Plant associated bacteria with plant growth promotion (PGP) properties have been proposed for use as environmentally friendly biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture; however, analysis of their efficacy in the field is ... -
Arsenic monitoring in water by colorimetry using an optimized leucomalachite green method
(MDPI, 2019)Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a global concern. Standard laboratory methods that are commonly used for arsenic detection in water, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy, are not suitable ... -
Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) sample storage for a posteriori molecular studies: Interactions between sample storage and DNA-extraction techniques.
(Institute of Entomology, 2013)A global decline in pollinator abundance and diversity has demanded increased research attention to the ecology and genetics of bumblebees. However, as progressively more restrictions are placed on sampling for insects, ... -
Cadmium hyperaccumulation and translocation in Impatiens glandulifera: From foe to friend?
(MDPI AG, 2019)The use of phytoremediation to sustainably recover areas contaminated by toxic heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) has been made feasible since the discovery of hyperaccumulator plants. This study examines the potential of ... -
Can milk affect recovery from simulated team-sport match play?
(MDPI, 2019-12-31)This study investigated the effects of cow’s milk on recovery from repeated simulated team games (STGs) in females. Twenty female team-sport athletes completed an STG circuit (2x ~ 30 min, with 10 min ‘half-time’). Measures ... -
Characterisation and expression profile of the bovine cathelicidin gene repertoire in mammary tissue
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background Cathelicidins comprise a major group of host-defence peptides. Conserved across a wide range of species, they have several functions related to host defence. Only one cathelicidin has been found in humans but ... -
Characterisation of the complete mitochondrial genome of the insect-parasitic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora: an idiosyncratic gene order and the presence of multiple long non-coding regions
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2021-06)We present here the complete mtDNA genome (mitogenome) of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, an important biological control agent of soil-dwelling insect pests in agriculture and horticulture. This is the first description ... -

Characterization of mineral phosphate solubilization traits from a barley rhizosphere soil functional metagenome.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)Mineral phosphate solubilization (MPS) microorganisms are important for their provision of orthophosphate anions for plant growth promotion activity in soil. In this study, we applied a functional metagenomic approach to ... -
Chromium monitoring in water by colorimetry using optimised 1,5-diphenylcarbazide method
(MDPI, 2019)Chromium contamination of drinking water has become a global problem due to its extensive use in industry. The most commonly used methods for chromium detection in water are laboratory-based methods, such as atomic absorption ... -
Combining remote temperature sensing with in-situ sensing to track marine/freshwater mixing dynamics.
(MDPI, 2016)The ability to track the dynamics of processes in natural water bodies on a global scale, and at a resolution that enables highly localised behaviour to be visualized, is an ideal scenario for understanding how local events ... -
Comparison of uptake of colorectal cancer screening based on fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in males and females: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2015)Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in males and the second in females worldwide. Incidence and mortality are higher in men than women. Colorectal cancer screening is effective in reducing mortality. ... -
Crop establishment practices are a driver of the plant microbiota in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(Frontiers Media, 2017)Gaining a greater understanding of the plant microbiota and its interactions with its host plant heralds a new era of scientific discovery in agriculture. Different agricultural management practices influence soil microbial ... -
Differences in anthropometric and physical performance characteristics between U17, U19, and Senior Irish female international football players
(SAGE Publications, 2021-04-01)This study aimed to compare the anthropometric physical performance characteristics of Irish female international footballers at U17, U19, and Senior age groups. Fifty-five (U17, n =24, U19, n =21, Senior, n = 10) female ... -
Ecopiling: a combined phytoremediation and passive biopiling system for remediating hydrocarbon impacted soils at field scale
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Biopiling is an ex situ bioremediation technology that has been extensively used for remediating a wide range of petrochemical contaminants in soils. Biopiling involves the assembling of contaminated soils into piles and ... -
Effect of an Alltech soil health product on entomopathogenic nematodes, root-knot nematodes and on the growth of tomato plants in the greenhouse
(The Society of Nematologists, 2020-03-19)An organic product that consists of proprietary blend of fermentation and plant extracts with micronutrients (ACS 5075, Alltech®, Inc., Nicholasville, KY USA) was evaluated against four strains of entomopathogenic nematodes ... -
The effect of by-product inclusion and concentrate feeding rate on milk production and composition, pasture dry matter intake, and nitrogen excretion of mid-late lactation spring-calving cows grazing a perennial ryegrass-based pasture
