ICT mediated food sharing and food transitions towards sustainable food systems in Singapore
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2021)With projected population growth of 9.1 billion people by 2050, and accelerated planetary urbanization quickly approaching, there is growing concern regarding the unsustainability of cities. Urban food systems are a focal ... -
Identification and evaluation of the captive environmental factors that affect the behaviour of Sulawesi Crested Black Macaques (Macaca Nigra)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Zoology, 2002)Observations of eight Sulawesi macaque troops in the UK and Ireland, were used in four main studies that investigated: 1) The influence of season on the behavioural expression and enclosure use of Sulawesi macaques in a ... -
Identification of a high diversity of Cryptosporidium species, genotypes and subtypes in a Nigerian Pediatric Population
(2010)A longitudinal study was conducted to determine the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium in 1,636 children in Nigeria. Oocyst prevalence ranged from 15.6% to 19.6% over one year. Cryptosporidium hominis (34), C. parvum (25), ... -
Identification of Mechanosensitive Genes during Embryonic Bone Formation.
(2008)Although it is known that mechanical forces are needed for normal bone development, the current understanding of how biophysical stimuli are interpreted by and integrated with genetic regulatory mechanisms is limited. ... -
Identification of mechanosensitive genes during skeletal development: alteration of genes associated with cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell signalling pathways.
(University of Edinburgh (datashare), 2014) -
Identifying barriers for nature-based solutions in flood risk management: an interdisciplinary overview using the expert community approach
(2022)The major event that hit Europe in summer 2021 reminds society that floods are recurrent and among the costliest and deadliest natural hazards. The long-term flood risk management (FRM) efforts preferring sole technical ... -
Identifying future zoonotic disease threats: Where are the gaps in our understanding of primate infectious diseases?
(2013)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emerging infectious diseases often originate in wildlife, making it important to identify infectious agents in wild populations. It is widely acknowledged that wild animals are incompletely ... -
Identifying principles for the design of robust impact evaluation frameworks for nature-based solutions in cities
(2020)Cities all over the world are confronting intertwined environmental, social and economic problems and aim to become resilient to climate change and promote wellbeing for all their citizens. Nature-based solutions have been ... -
Identifying the determinants of Brazilian migration to and from Ireland: a micro-level cross-country analysis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Geography, 2022)Brazilian migration since the 1990s has given rise to what is now the largest non-EU immigrant group residing in Ireland (CSO, 2016). However, the determinants of Brazilian migration to Ireland have been considered only ... -
Ignoring discards biases the assessment of fisheries' ecological fingerprint.
(2013)Understanding the pressures of fisheries on the ecosystem is crucial for effective management. Fishery removals, or catch, are composed of both landings and discards. However, the use of discards data in studies investigating ... -
The impact artificial sub-surface drainage on greenhouse gas emissions, change in soil carbon storage and nutrient losses from grassland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2019)Irish dairy production sector has started an expansion process while achieving a 20% reduction in the National greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fulfilling the Water Framework Directive. Moreover, the 30% of Irish dairy ... -
The impact of agricultural management practices on nutrient losses to water: data on the effects of soil drainage characteristics
(2005)Against the background of increasing nutrient concentrations in Irish water bodies, this study set out to gain information on the potential of agricultural grassland to lose nutrients to water. Overland flow, flow from ... -
The impact of host starvation on parasite development and population dynamics in an intestinal trypanosome parasite of bumble bees
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Host nutrition plays an important role in determining the development and success of parasitic infections. While studies of vertebrate hosts are accumulating, little is known about how host nutrition affects parasites of ... -
Impact of landscape characteristics on flower-visiting insects in agricultural environments across Europe
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Botany, 2023)In the last few decades, there has been growing concern about the decline in insect communities in Europe, including pollinators. One-third of syrphids and butterflies are considered to be in decline, and nearly one out ... -
Impact of repeated four-monthly anthelmintic treatment on Plasmodium infection in preschool children: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial
(2010)Background: Helminth infections can alter susceptibility to malaria. Studies need to determine whether or not deworming programs can impact on Plasmodium infections in preschool children. Methods: A double-blind ... -
The impact of roadworks on the ranging behaviour of European badgers (Meles meles)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Natural Sciences. Discipline of Zoology, 2018)The European badger (Meles meles), one of Ireland’s most iconic native species, acts as a wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of tuberculosis in cattle. Badgers have been implicated in the spread ... -
The impact of strike-slip, transtensional and transpressional fault zones on volcanoes. Part1: scaled experiments
(Elsevier, 2011)The activity of a regional strike-slip fault can affect or channel magma migration, can deform a volcano and can destabilise the edifice flanks. The aim of this study is to determine the location, strike, dip and slip of ... -
Impacts of inbreeding on bumblebee colony fitness under field conditions
(BioMed Central, 2009)BACKGROUND: Inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity are known to be significant threats to small, isolated populations. Hymenoptera represent a special case regarding the impact of inbreeding. Haplodiploidy may permit ...
