Language Use and Language Learning in Northern Ireland: Building Linguistic Capacity for Reconciliation / Úsáid Teanga agus Foghlaim Teanga I dTuaisceart Éireann: Cumas Teanga a Fhorbairt don Athmhuintearas
(2022)This report outlines some central concerns raised by the text of the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) , 2022, (as introduced) and which were identified by participants in the final workshop of the New Foundations ... -
Reflections and Recommendations on the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill 2022 / Machnaimh agus Moltá ar an mBille Féiniúlachta agus Teanga (Tuaisceart Éireann) 2022
(2023)The 2022 Bill represents a ‘first generation’ piece of minority language legislation in that it neither seeks to impose strict, rights-based standards nor punitive deterrent sanctions. In this respect, the legislation ... -
Uranium-lead geochronology applied to pyrope garnet with very low concentrations of uranium
(2023)We present U–Pb dates from peridotitic pyrope-rich garnet from four mantle xenoliths entrained in a kimberlite from Bultfontein, South Africa. Garnet dates magmatic emplacement due to the high mantle residence temperatures ... -
Ecological selection of siderophore-producing microbial taxa in response to heavy metal contamination
(2018)Some microbial public goods can provide both individual and community-wide benefits, and are open to exploitation by non-producing species. One such example is the production of metaldetoxifying siderophores. Here, we ... -
No effect of intraspecific relatedness on public goods cooperation in a complex community
(2018)Many organisms—notably microbes—are embedded within complex communities where cooperative behaviors in the form of excreted public goods can benefit other species. Under such circumstances, intraspecific interactions are ... -
Transposable temperate phages promote the evolution of divergent social strategies in Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations
(2019)Transposable temperate phages randomly insert into bacterial genomes, providing increased supply and altered spectra of mutations available to selection, thus opening alternative evolutionary trajectories. Transposable ... -
A study of natural radioactivity levels and radon/thoron release potential of bedrock and soil in southeastern ireland', International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
(2021)Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) account for almost two-thirds of the annual average radiation dose received by the Irish population. A detailed study of natural radioactivity levels and radon and thoron exhalation rates ... -
Cultivating antimicrobial resistance: how intensive agriculture ploughs the way for antibiotic resistance
(2023)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to public health, global food security and animal welfare. Despite efforts in antibiotic stewardship, AMR continues to rise worldwide. Anthropogenic activities, particularly ... -
Resource heterogeneity and the evolution of public goods cooperation
(2020)Heterogeneity in resources is a ubiquitous feature of natural landscapes affecting many aspects of biology. However, the effect of environmental heterogeneity on the evolution of cooperation has been less well studied. ... -
Species interactions drive the spread of ampicillin resistance in human-associated gut microbiota
(2021)Background and objectives: Slowing the spread of antimicrobial resistance is urgent if we are to continue treating infectious diseases successfully. There is increasing evidence microbial interactions between and within ... -
Stress causes interspecific facilitation within a compost community
(2021)Ecological theory predicts interactions between species to become more positive under abiotic stress, while competition should prevail in more benign environments. However, experimental tests of this stress gradient ... -
Development of liquid culture media mimicking the conditions of sinuses and lungs in cystic fibrosis and health
(2022)The respiratory tract is a compartmentalised and heterogenous environment. The nasopharynx and sinuses of the upper airways have distinct properties from the lungs and these differences may shape bacterial adaptation ... -
Feasibility of OptiMaL, a Self-Management Programme for Oesophageal Cancer Survivors
(2023)Introduction: There is limited availability of self-management interventions for oesophageal cancer survivors at present. This study examined the feasibility of OptiMal, a six-week, self-management programme to improve ... -
Two centuries of relative sea-level rise in Dublin, Ireland, reconstructed by geological tide gauge
(2023)We demonstrate the utility and reproducibility of the saltmarsh foraminifera-based ‘geological tide gauge’ (GTG) approach by developing two independent records of relative sea-level (RSL) change for Dublin, Ireland. Our ... -
Custom precision accelerators for energy-efficient image-to-image transformations in motion picture workflows
(SPIE, 2023)Image to Image (I2I) transformations have been an integral part of video processing workflows with applications in Image Synthesis for Virtual Productions, Segmentation, and Matting, among others. Over the years, ... -
A case for FPGA-based accelerators for energy-efficient motion picture video processing
(SPIE, 2023)In recent years, computing-based video processing workflows have become an integral part of the motion picture industry. These workloads are highly data- and compute-intensive, requiring capable hardware to achieve ... -
An experimental-numerical study of heat transfer enhancement in a minichannel using asymmetric pulsating flows
(2023)The development of current and next generation high performance electronic devices has led to miniaturization in more densely packed spaces. The increasing power levels has resulted in ever-increasing heat flux densities ... -
Liquid immersion thermal management of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles: An experimental study
(2023)The thermal and electrical performance of lithium-ion batteries subjected to liquid immersion cooling conditions in a dielectric fluid has been experimentally investigated in this study. A single 26650 LiFePO4 cylindrical ... -
Identifying barriers for nature-based solutions in flood risk management: an interdisciplinary overview using the expert community approach
(2022)The major event that hit Europe in summer 2021 reminds society that floods are recurrent and among the costliest and deadliest natural hazards. The long-term flood risk management (FRM) efforts preferring sole technical ...
