Urban conservation in a comparative perspective : Dublin and Stockholm
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2003)This thesis explores differing approaches to urban conservation in the cities of Dublin and Stockholm. It examines the impact of Central Government policies that have addressed directly or had indirect impact upon urban ... -
Urban Food Sharing
(Policy Press, 2019)This book explores the history and current practice of food sharing. Illustrated by rich case studies from around the world, the book uses new empirical data to set an agenda for research and action. The book will ... -
Urban transformation with TURAS open innovations; opportunities for transitioning through transdisciplinarity
(2016)Transitioning is a unidirectional process of mainstreaming sustainability within normative societal behaviour, which communities hope will build resilience, reduce our dependence on distant resources and lead to the ... -
Urban vacancy in Ireland: Addressing recent responses and opportunities
(Trinity College Dublin & Dublin City Council, 2023)This report outlines recent political and policy responses to urban vacancy in Ireland, the challenges that these policy objectives face, and lessons that can be drawn from the experience of those implemented them. It is ... -
A users guide to radon priority areas: examples from Ireland.
(2022)Exposure to radon over time has significant detrimental effects on human health. Approximately 226,000 annual radon-related deaths have been reported from 66 countries (1). Many countries have a radon action plan, in order ... -
Using geogenic radon potential to assess radon priority area designation, a case study around Castleisland, Co. Kerry, Ireland
(2022)Globally, indoor radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and second most common cause after tobacco smoking. Soil-gas radon is the main contributor to indoor radon, but its spatial distribution ... -
Utilisation of brown trout by Acanthocephalus clavula (Acanthocephala) in brown trout (Salmo trutta) in an Irish lake: is this evidence of a host shift?
(2004)The population biology of the fish acanthocephalan Acanthocephalus clavula was described from 161 wild brown trout, Salmo trutta sampled over a two-year period in Clogher Lake in the west of Ireland. Overall prevalence of ... -
Utilizing Papal Taxation Records for Geographical, Economic, and Cultural Analysis: A Study of Early Fourteenth Century Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2020)This project explores the economic, physical, political, and cultural geography of medieval Ireland by mapping the 1302-20 papal tax valuations of ecclesiastical benefices, with parish incomes being used as proxies for ... -
Validation and use of a parametric model for projecting cystic fibrosis survivorship beyond observed data: a birth cohort analysis
(BMJ Group, 2011-07-22)Background: The current lifetable approach to survival estimation is favoured by CF registries. Recognising the limitation of this approach, we examined the utility of a parametric survival model to project birth cohort ... -
The value of ex situ collections for global biodiversity conservation in the wild
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2021)Despite the best efforts of conservation practitioners global biodiversity is continuing to decline. The role of zoos and aquariums in conserving global biodiversity ex situ has become increasingly important as more species ... -
Variation in sequences containing microsatellite motifs in the perennial biomass and forage grass, Phalaris arundinacea (Poaceae)
(2016)Forty three microsatellite markers were developed for further genetic characterisation of a forage and biomass grass crop, for which genomic resources are currently scarce. The microsatellite markers were developed from a ... -
Variations in travel time for N loading to groundwaters in four case studies in Ireland: Implications for policy makers and regulators
(2009)Mitigation measures to protect waterbodies must be implemented by 2012 to meet the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. The efficacy of these measures will be assessed in 2015. Whilst diffuse N pathways between ... -
Vegetated Habitats Trophically Support Early Development Stages of a Marine Migrant Fish in a Coastal Lagoon
(2020)Understanding the trophic ecology of early developmental stages of commercial fish species migrating between sea and coastal lagoons is crucial to effective management of nursery habitats and resulting resources. While ... -
Very large bolide impacts:insight from melt products and element behaviour in the crater fill
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2018)Large (>100 km) impact events have shaped the surfaces of terrestrial bodies in the inner Solar System. They have fundamentally altered the Earth?s geochemistry and may even have contributed to making the Earth habitable. ... -
Visa Policy as Migration Channel, Ireland
(European Commission, 2011-12-01)An Irish visa is a form of pre-entry clearance to travel to a point of entry to the State only. Whether or not the visa carries any legitimate expectation of entering the State has been debated in the courts. Ireland and ... -
Visualisation of abnormal morphological development and molecular mechanisms that give rise to tracheo-oesophageal malformations and other VACTERL anomalies in an Adriamycin treated Mouse Model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2012)Oesophageal atresia/Tracheo-oesophageal fistula (OA/TOF) are relatively common malfonnations of the foregut in humans (Spitz, 2007). They require urgent corrective surgery after birth and have an impact on the future health ... -
Volcanic crystals as time capsules of eruption history
(2018)Crystals formed prior to a volcanic event can provide evidence of processes leading to and timing of eruptions. Clinopyroxene is common in basaltic to intermediate volcanoes, however, its ability as a recorder of pre-eruptive ... -
Volcano flank terraces on Mars
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2010)Flank terraces are topographically subtle, laterally extensive structures on the flanks of several large shield volcanoes on Mars. The formation of terraces has been ascribed to several mechanisms, including elastic ...
