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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -

Experimental and numerical analysis of three-dimensional free-surface turbulent vortex flows with strong circulation
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2015)Strong free-surface vortex flows are widely employed in various civil engineering and industrial applications. However, a review of the state-of-the-art suggests that a number of areas surrounding the underlying flow ... -
Predicting and locating fracture in bone using acoustic emission
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2015)A novel way to predict intra-operative fracture during Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) using acoustic emission (AE) has been tentatively discovered. AE has also been shown to be able to predict the location of such fracture. ... -
Modelling anaerobic wastewater treatment
(Institute of Technology, Sligo., 2006)There is a real need for dynamic models in the design and operation of treatment processes given that design theory and control strategy are directly linked to process modelling. The core objective of this study was to ... -
The removal of pollutants present in domestic wastewater by an inorganic medium.
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 1998)The removal of polluting parameters present in domestic wastewater, by the Biolat septic tank was investigated. Results obtained indicate that the Biolat media was responsible for the removal of ammonium and phosphate. ... -
