A comparison of European eel Anguilla anguilla eDNA concentrations to fyke net catches in five Irish lakes (2020)
Journal Article

The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN. To protect what remains of the European eel population, accurate monitoring methods for this species are important. Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques are gaini...

Novel, rapid, low-cost screen-printed (bio)sensors for the direct analysis of boar taint compounds androstenone and skatole in porcine adipose tissue: Comparison with a high-resolution gas chromatographic method (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. This is the first report on the fabrication, characterisation and application of an electrochemical (bio)sensor system for the simultaneous measurement of skatole and androstenone. A biosensor for androstenone was fabricated usin...

Marimo machines: Oscillators, biosensors and actuators (2019)
Journal Article

Background
The green algae balls (Aegagropila linnaei), known as Marimo, are large spherical colonies of live photosynthetic filaments, formed by rolling water currents in freshwater lakes. Photosynthesis therein produces gas bubbles that can attach... Read More about Marimo machines: Oscillators, biosensors and actuators.

Impact of graphene oxide and highly reduced graphene oxide on cement based composites (2019)
Journal Article

This study examines and compares the performance of two specific forms of graphene nanomaterials in the cement based composite, namely graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). A typical forms of GO with the average C:O ratio of 54:46 and... Read More about Impact of graphene oxide and highly reduced graphene oxide on cement based composites.

Science Live -articulating the aims and ethos of science event practitioners in the USA and UK (2019)
Journal Article

Live science events engage publics with science in a social context. This article articulates the aims and ethos of this growing sector within a research context. Semi-structured interviews (N=13) and focus groups (N=77) were conducted with event pra...

Autogenous self-healing of cement with expansive minerals-II: Impact of age and the role of optimised expansive minerals in healing performance (2018)
Journal Article

This part of the study presents the optimisation of expansive minerals mix proportions and establishes a quantitative and qualitative correlation between self-healing and the cracking age of cementitious materials. The hydration degree of cementitiou...

Nano-cement composite with graphene oxide produced from epigenetic graphite deposit (2018)
Journal Article

This study presents the development of a nano-cement composite with graphene oxide (GO) carbon-based nanomaterials synthesized from a high-purity epigenetic graphite deposit. Diamond drill sampled graphite mineralization was upgraded through benefici... Read More about Nano-cement composite with graphene oxide produced from epigenetic graphite deposit.

The dynamics of industrial development in a resource-rich developing society: A political economy analysis (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 SAGE Publications. This article criticizes the resource curse thesis for neglecting the interplay of international factors and domestic politics, that is the political settlement, in explaining industrial performance in a resource-dependent so...

Encapsulation of expansive powder minerals within a concentric glass capsule system for self-healing concrete (2016)
Journal Article

This study presents the application of encapsulated expansive powder minerals (magnesium oxide, bentonite and quicklime) for self-healing of cement-based mortars. A system of concentric glass macrocapsules was used to envelope the expansive minerals...
