Economic and Environmental Analysis of SmallScale Anaerobic Digestion Plants on Irish Dairy Farms /
(MDPI, 2020)The European Union’s (EU) climate and energy package requires all EU countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% by 2020. Based on current trends, Ireland is on track to miss this target with a projected ... -
CuNPs decorated molecular imprinted polymer on MWCNT for the electrochemical detection of L-DOPA /
(Elsevier, 2018)A novel synthesis of copper nanoparticle (CuNPs) is carried out by the reduction of ethylene diamine Cu complexes using sodiumborohydride as reducing agent. The synthesized copper nanoparticle is grafted with molecular ... -
Photoelectrochemical Conversion of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into Fuels and Value-Added Products /
(ACS, 2020)The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and value-added products is one of the most significant inventions to address the global warming and energy needs. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 conversion can be considered ... -
Cu-Doped TiO2: Visible Light Assisted Photocatalytic Antimicrobial Activity /
(MDPI, 2018-10-26)Surface contamination by microbes is a major public health concern. A damp environment is one of potential sources for microbe proliferation. Smart photocatalytic coatings on building surfaces using semiconductors like ... -
Effect of Cu doping on the anatase-to-rutile phase transition in TiO2 photocatalysts: theory and experiments /
(Elsevier, 2019-01-22)This paper shows that incorporation of Cu inhibits the anatase to rutile phase transition at temperatures above 500 °C. The control sample, with 0% Cu contained 34.3% anatase at 600 °C and transitioned to 100% rutile ... -
Ternary Metal Chalcogenide Heterostructure (AgInS2−TiO2) Nanocomposites for Visible Light Photocatalytic Applications /
(American Chemical Society, 2019-12-20)Hybrid nanoarchitectures of AgInS2 and TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by using a modified sol–gel method. The experimental results reveal that these nanocomposites display enhanced visible light absorption and effective ... -
Plasmonic-based nanomaterials for environmental remediation /
(Elsevier, 2018)Technologies based on nanomaterials are gaining increased attention as a promising method for the removal of contaminants and inactivation/killing of pathogenic microorganisms. Plasmonic nanomaterials prove to be promising ... -
Application of geometric morphometrics to modern and zooarchaeological cattle bones /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019) -
UV and Visible Light-Driven Production of Hydroxyl Radicals by Reduced Forms of N, F, and P Codoped Titanium Dioxide /
(MDPI, 2019-06-06)The photocatalytic activities of reduced titanium dioxide (TiO2) materials have been investigated by measuring their ability to produce hydroxyl radicals under UV and visible light irradiation. Degussa P25 TiO2 was doped ... -
Black TiO2 Nanomaterials: A Review of Recent Advances /
(Elsevier, 2018-02-02)Recently reported black TiO2 nanomaterials are the unequivocally accepted sun light harvesters which facilitate the maximum solar energy absorption from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) region of the solar spectrum due ... -
Advances in catalytic/photocatalytic bacterial inactivation by nano Ag and Cu coated surfaces and medical devices /
(Elsevier, 19 July 20)The design, synthesis, fundamentals and evaluation of 2D/3D antimicrobial surfaces are addressed in detail in the current review. Recent advances in the antimicrobial mechanism, kinetics and properties of Ag, Cu and Ag-Cu ... -

Stone beads from Irish passage tombs: symbolism, social identity and the self /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)In pre-industrial societies beads act as a medium of symbolic and social expression. Their role as a communication media means they affect all aspects of society from domestic and social life to ritual action. Determining ... -
Mirror therapy and treadmill training for patients with chronic stroke : a pilot randomised controlled trial /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019) -
Anatase to rutile transition in titanium dioxide photocatalytic nanomaterials /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Anatase and brookite are both considered metastable phases and transition irreversibly into the thermodynamically stable rutile phase at elevated temperatures (600-700°C in pure synthetic TiO2). Anatase TiO2 is widely ... -
Controlled release of the histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate for increasing recombinant protein production /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Improving the yields of biopharmaceutical products from mammalian cell culture is of paramount importance to manufacturing companies; increasing product yield includes enhancing recombinant gene expression in mammalian ... -
A qualitative case study exploring service users' and providers' experiences of continuity of care when transitioning from early intervention teams : the case of autism spectrum disorder /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Seamless and continuous care across transitions are the gold standard for an individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) when moving through services, agencies or organisations. However, little is known about the ... -
A real-time alert system for predicting and managing short-term pollution and bathing water quality at Enniscrone beach /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)Under the Bathing Water Directive [2006/7/EC] there is a new highest microbiological quality classification of “Excellent” that is much more stringent than the highest standard of the old directive. This has serious ... -
Soft sensor modelling for the inline characterisation of polylactide (PLA) in a twin screw extrusion process /
(Institute of Technology, Sligo, 2019)The development of a soft sensor technology to predict material properties of polylactide (PLA), extruded from a twin screw extrusion process, has been ex amined in this study. PLA is a bioresorbable (or biodegradable ...
