A comparative study of the environmental impact of alkali activated and traditional materials
(2022)Many construction materials carry significant environmental impacts because they require high energy input and non-renewable materials for production, contributing to material depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. In ... -
Virtual Historic Centers: Digital Representation of Archaeological Heritage
(Springer Nature, 2022)Digitization and virtual representation of archaeology and architectural heritage potentially connects tangible and intangible cultural assets allowing for recording, conserving, and documenting cultural heritage. Process ... -
Teachers, Human Rights and Human Rights Education: Knowledge, perspectives and practices of primary school teachers in Ireland
(Centre for Human Rights and Citizenship, DCU, 2011)Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that education shall be directed towards “the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms” (United Nations, 1948, Art 26.2). This ... -
Effect of the early dissolution of Al-phases in reactive industrial wastes, on the setting times and rheology of sustainable binders
(2022)Aluminium-containing minerals in industrial wastes are relatively common, and they have potential as pozzolans or geopolymer precursors for the production of sustainable cements. The availability of reactive Al plays an ... -
Enzymatic-induced calcite precipitation (EICP) method for improving hydraulic erosion resistance of surface sand layer: a laboratory investigation
(2023)As a bio-inspired calcite precipitation method, bio-grouting via enzymatic-induced calcite precipitation (EICP) uses free urease enzyme to catalyze the urea hydrolysis reaction. This soil stabilization approach is relatively ... -
When planning to survive goes wrong: predicting the future and replaying the past in anxiety and PTSD
(2018)We increase our probability of survival and wellbeing by minimizing our exposure to rare, extremely negative events. In this article, we examine the computations used to predict and avoid such events and to update our ... -
Equilibrium states of confined ions in two dimensions
(2023)Ions that are trapped in two dimensions and are subject to a harmonic confining potential have widely varying stationary states that exhibit various asymptotic forms and bifurcations. We present a ‘birds-eye’ view of these ... -
From CCS to CSP: the m-among-n Synchronisation Approach
(Open Publishing Association, 2022)We present an alternative translation from CCS to an extension of CSP based on m-among-n syn chronisation (called CSPmn). This translation is correct up to strong bisimulation. Unlike the g-star renaming approach ([4]), ... -
Screaming for Champions
(2022)This short piece reflects on screaming and female rage in response to pregnancy and childbirth during the COVID-19 pandemic. This piece reflects on my daughter's expert screaming and my own (wasted) efforts trying to pacify ... -
Establishing Cepstral Peak Prominence (CPP) normative data for young adults in Ireland: the impact of gender, speech task and recording conditions
(2023)Background: Cepstral Peak Prominence (CPP) is currently recommended as a robust measure of dysphonia in clinical voice assessment (Patel et al., 2018). Its use in clinic is limited due to its relative conceptual ... -
Shaw, Á., & Yanushevskaya, I. (2021). Students' views and experiences of the training and use of phonetic transcription in speech and language therapy: the Irish perspective
(2021)Phonetic transcription is an essential skill for practising SLTs required during the assessment, diagnosis and management of clients with speech difficulties Student SLTs must receive appropriate training to carry out ... -
Rating Scales to Measure Adverse Effects of Medications in People with Intellectual Disability: A Scoping Review
(2022)Purpose: Intellectual disability (ID) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition characterised by limitations in intelligence and adaptive skills with an onset prior to the age of 18 years. People with ID have complex ... -
Pozzolanic and hydraulic activity of bauxite for binder production
(2022)Bauxite is mainly used to produce aluminium and calcium aluminate cements. Both applications carry high environmental impacts. However, the carbon emissions generated from mining bauxite (3–5 kg CO2e/t) are negligible when ... -
Reactivity of raw, pyroprocessed and GGBS-blended alum sludge (AS) waste for sustainable cement production
(2023)This paper investigates AS waste to produce a construction binder of low environmental impact. It studies the reactivity of AS so that it can be used instead of traditional (higher impact) binders. Currently, most construction ... -
RILEM TC 277-LHS report: How hot are hot-lime-mixed mortars? A review
(2023)It is believed that many historic mortars were made using hot-lime mixing techniques. They are back in use today, and their good qualities are often praised, including being more compatible and a better match with ... -
Exploring barriers and enablers to the delivery of Making Every Contact Count brief behavioural interventions in Ireland: a cross-sectional survey study
(2023)Objectives The public health impact of the Irish Making Every Contact Count (MECC) brief intervention programme is dependent on delivery by health care professionals. We aimed to identify enablers and modifiable barriers ... -
