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 ... -
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. -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Pd loaded TiO2 nanotubes for the effective catalytic reduction of p-Nitrophenol
(Springer, 2015)Titania nanotubes decorated with Pd nanoparticles were synthesised by a hydrothermal method. The increased amounts of Pd concentration is found to facilitate the anatase to rutile crystalline phase transformation as well ... -
Highly efficient F, Cu doped TiO2 anti-bacterial visible light active photocatalytic coatings to combat hospital-acquired infections
(Nature, 2016)Bacterial infections are a major threat to the health of patients in healthcare facilities including hospitals. One of the major causes of patient morbidity is infection with Staphylococcus aureus. One of the the most ... -
An effective method for the preparation of high temperature stable anatase TiO2 photocatalysts
(Elsevier, 2016)tAn efficient, rapid and straightforward method for the preparation of nitrogen and fluorine (N, F) codopedhigh temperature stable anatase using a microwave pre-treatment is reported. Using a single source,ammonium fluoride ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Visible-light activation of Ti02 photocatalysts: advances in theory and experiments
(Elsevier, 2015)The remarkable achievement by Fujishima and Honda (1972) in the photo-electrochemical water splitting results in the extensive use of TiO2 nanomaterials for environmental purification and energy storage/conversion ... -
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.
