Salinity-Dependent Adhesion Response Properties of Aluminosilicate (K-Feldspar) Surfaces
(2017)Flooding sandstone oil reservoirs with low salinity water can lead to a significant increase in oil recovery, a phenomenon called “the low salinity effect”. Although there are many factors that contribute to this response, ... -

Sea Levels: change and variability during warm intervals
(Sage, 2006)The challenges associated with understanding precisely how climate affects sea level have been regular features of Progress Reports since the 1990s (e.g. Woodroffe, 1993; 1994, Woodroffe & Nash, 1995; Long, 2000; 2001; ... -

Sedimentary Indicators of Relative Sea-Level Change - Low Energy
(Elsevier, 2013)Fine grained sediments associated with low energy conditions have proven to be useful archives of relative sea-level data. Low energy inter-tidal environments, such as saltmarshes and mangroves, are closely linked to the ... -
Sedimentology analysis and correlation of the Mullaghmore sandstone formation in the north and north-west of Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2003)The aims of this study were to provide a sedimentological analysis and environmental interpretation for the Mullaghmore Sandstone Formation and its equivalents, extending from south Donegal to south Sligo and into the north ... -
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Carboniferous Donegal Basin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2000)The Dinantian onshore Donegal Basin is situated at the northerly exposed margin of the Northwest Carboniferous Basin of Ireland. Subsidence patterns in the Northwest basin were strongly controlled by an existing template ... -
Sedimentology, chemostratigraphy, and geochronology of the lower Huqf Supergroup, Oman
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2002)The lower part of the Huqf Supergroup, comprising the Abu Mahara Group and the Hadash and Masirah Bay Formations of the Nafun Group, forms the oldest deposits exposed in Oman. This thesis is based on field study of this ... -
Seeds of change? Social practices of urban community seed sharing initiatives for just transitions to sustainability
(2022)The sharing of seeds is a practice with ancient roots. However, the structures of global agri-food trade in late modernity have drastically reconfigured practices of exchange and reshaped matters of legal ownership, resulting ... -
Seismic structure and anisotrophy in southern Africa's lithosphere : constraints from broad-band surface-wave dispersion
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2013)Southern Africa contains some of the oldest crust on Earth, with the Archean Kaapvaal Craton bordered to the North by the Archean-Paleoproterozoic Limpopo belt. To understand the mechanisms of deformation of the Archean ... -
SEM-EDX study of bentonite alteration under the influence of cement alkaline solutions.
(2021)Bentonite is a key barrier for the isolation of high-level radioactive waste within Deep Geological Repository. However, bentonite may be altered by contact with cementitious materials and their alkaline pore fluids. This ... -
Serum concentrations of carboxyl-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, cross-linked carboxl-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and their interrelationships in schoolchildren
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 1997)We report pediatric age- and sex-specific 95% reference intervals for procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide (PICP), the cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), and procollagen type III N-terminal ... -
Serum crosslaps: pediatric reference intervals from birth to 19 years of age
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2002)During childhood growth, bone undergoes extensive modeling involving separate osteoblastic and osteoclastic processes. Markers of bone formation and resorption circulate at higher concentrations in children than in adults, ... -
Shallow sampling by multi-shot laser ablation and its application within U-Pb zircon geochronology
(2020)The interaction of incident laser radiation and sample substrate is complex and difficult to predict. Natural zircons are often both structurally and chemically heterogeneous in 3-dimensional space. Encountering growth-related, ... -
Shaping the symbolic landscape : public monuments in Nairobi, 1899-1992
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geography, 2007)Geography is centrally concerned with the landscape. Landscape, in this thesis, is viewed and analysed as a cultural product, shaped by human processes and ideologies. Informed, primarily, by the cultural-historical ... -
SHARE IT: co-designing a sustainability impact assessment framework for urban food sharing initiatives
(2019)Urban food systems must undergo a significant transformation if they are to avoid impeding the achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goals. One reconfiguration with claimed sustainability benefits is ICT-mediated food ...
