Foaming control in the activated sludge process using metalbolic control
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Botany, 2014)Foam production is an inherent phenomenon within the activated sludge wastewater treatment process. Whilst several different types of foams have been observed it is the presence of thick, viscous brown foams on the surface ... -
Focus group discourses in a mined landscape
(2010)Focus group research is rarely used for examining environmental discourses other than when conflict arises. This study looks at local citizen perceptions in relation to mined (or ‘cutaway’) industrial peatland landscapes ... -
Food risk governance in Ireland : regulation, communication and biosecurity
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2013)Issues of biosecurity (commonly defined as "making life safe") are relevant to the arena of food risk governance. Certainly, the complex and varied food safety controls that exist today can be described as attempting to ... -
Food Sharing Initiatives and Food Democracy: Practice and Policy in Three European Cities
(2019)Calls for greater food democracy in Europe have emerged as the limitations of urban food systems dominated by commercial organisations are documented, but little attention has been paid to how policy arrangements affect ... -
Formation of calcium sulfate through the aggregation of sub-3 nanometre primary species
(2016)The formation pathways of gypsum remain uncertain. Here, using truly in situ and fast time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, we quantify the four-stage solution-based nucleation and growth of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), an ... -

Frankbaronia velata nov. sp., a putative peronosporomycete oogonium containing multiple oospores from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert
(2013)Spherical to pyriform microfossils containing multiple smooth-walled spherules from the Lower Devonian Rhynie chert are described as oogonia of a new fossil peronosporomycete based on congruencies in basic morphology to ... -
From "debt diplomacy" to donorship? China's changing role in global development
(2022)Since the mid-1990s the Chinese state and the country’s businesses have significantly increased their activity throughout the Global South. In International Development, China’s impacts on this varied meta-region have ... -
From corporations to commissioners : municipal government and urban change in Leinster, 1835-65
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2009)Following an 1835 report, a process of reform of Irish town government took place. This thesis examines the process and the major shift which occurred in the government of market towns in Leinster between 1835 and 1865. ... -
From science to society: implementing effective strategies to improve wild pollinator health
(2022)Despite a substantial increase in scientific, public and political interest in pollinator health and many practical conservation efforts, incorporating initiatives across a range of scales and sectors, pollinator health ... -
From synergy to inhibition: Effects of multi component solutions on the crystallization of divalent carbonates in natural and synthetic environments
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2024)The understanding of the processes governing the mechanisms, kinetics, and pathways of carbonate crystallization is crucial in the context of carbon capture and storage through mineralization. However, uncertainty still ... -
Functional signatures of model crustaceans in lake littoral zones in response to nutrient status and local habitat
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2015)Littoral zones of lakes are critical for linking, physically and energetically, terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Disruption of this link through modification of lake riparian habitats can affect the structure and functioning ... -
Fungal sporulation in a Permian plant fragment from Antarctica. Bulletin of Geosciences
(2018)Documented evidence of fungi from the Permian of Antarctica mostly consists of dispersed remains that do not provide the whole complement of diagnostic features necessary to determine even broad systematic affinities. A ... -
Fungi as parasites: A conspectus of the fossil record
(Springer, 2021)Fungal parasites are important drivers in ecosystem dynamics today that can have far-reaching effects on the performance and community structure of other organisms. Knowledge of the fossil record and evolution of ... -
Fungi associated with Glossopteris (Glossopteridales) leaves from the Permian of Antarctica: A preliminary report
(2015)Fungi today occur on virtually every plant part, living and dead, and represent a significant proportion of fungal diversity. Arborescent seed ferns characterized by large, tongue-shaped leaves with reticulate venation ... -
Fungicides, herbicides and bees: A systematic review of existing research and methods
(Public Library of Science, 2019)Bees and the pollination services they deliver are beneficial to both food crop production, and for reproduction of many wild plant species. Bee decline has stimulated widespread interest in assessing hazards and risks to ... -
Furthering the potential of apatite as a provenance indicator in sedimentary systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geology, 2019)As a mineral that has only recently become possible to date routinely by the U-Pb method, apatite geochemistry (U-Pb isotopes and trace elements) has until now attracted less attention than longer-established detrital ...
