Positive reframing as a mediator between gratitude and technostress amongst Indian students during the Covid-19 pandemic
(Emerald Publishing, 2022-01-24)Purpose – The aim of the current study was to examine the previously unexplored relationship between positive reframing as a mediator between gratitude and technostress in Indian students. By examining this relationship, ... -
Effects of climate and environmental variance on the performance of a novel peatland-based integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) system: implications and opportunities for advancing research and disruptive innovation post COVID-19 era
(Elsevier, 2022-05-01)Advancing wet peatland ‘paludiculture’ innovation present enormous potential to sustain carbon-cycles, reduce greenhouse-gas (GHG) gas emissions and to transition communities to low-carbon economies; however, there is ... -
Modelling the transfer and accumulation of microplastics in a riverine freshwater food web
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02-26)Microplastics are a pervasive pollutant of aquatic ecosystems and are reported to interact with a wide range of aquatic biota. The complexities of natural food webs means that the transfer and accumulation of microplastics ... -
Potential pathways, trophic transfer and bioindicators of microplastics in freshwater systems
(2018-03)Microplastic (MP) polymers, 0.1 µm - 5 mm in size, are ubiquitous within aquatic environments. Due to their small size there is a risk that they may infiltrate and transfer within aquatic food webs. Though a limited number ... -
Rendering bio-inert low density polyethylene amenable for biodegradation via fast high throughput reactive extrusion assisted oxidation
(Springer, 2021-11-01)An energy efficient high throughput pre-treatment of low density polyethylene (LDPE) using a fast reactive extrusion (REX) assisted oxidation technique followed by bacterial attachment as an indicator for bio amenability ... -
The role of physiological responses in a VR-based sound localization task
(IEEE, 2021-09-10)Virtual reality (VR) has recently emerged as a platform that can be employed in the context of e-health applications. Even though the majority of VR-based applications focus on visual stimuli as the main content, audio ... -
Physical properties of shellac material used for hot melt extrusion with potential application in the pharmaceutical industry
(MDPI, 2021-10-28)Hot melt extrusion offers an efficient way of increasing the solubility of a poorly soluble drug. Shellac has potential as a pharmaceutical matrix polymer that can be used in this extrusion process, with further advantages ... -
Progressing ultragreen, energy-efficient biobased depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) via microwave-assisted green deep eutectic solvent and enzymatic treatment
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)Effective interfacing of energy-efficient and biobased technologies presents an all-green route to achieving continuous circular production, utilization, and reproduction of plastics. Here, we show combined ultragreen ... -
Low computational complexity for optimizing energy efficiency in Mm-wave hybrid precoding system for 5G
(IEEE, 2022-01-13)Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication is the spectral frontier to meet the anticipated significant volume of high data traffic processing in next-generation systems. The primary challenges in mm-wave can be overcome ... -
The effect of calcination conditions on oat husk ash pozzolanic activity
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are known and used to reduce cement consumption, but some waste sources currently used for partial cement replacement are threatened by changing industrial production processes ... -
Self-photopolymerizable hydrogel-ceramic composites with scavenger properties
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)The photocatalytic behaviours of semiconductive ceramic nanoparticles such as TiO2 , ZnO, Fe2O3 , and Fe3O4 , have been extensively studied in photocatalysis and photopolymerization, due to their ability to produce ... -
The construction, survival, and use of signal defensible guard houses on the Irish coast /
(2021)In the first decade of the 19th century a new system of 81 military signal stations were constructed around the Irish coast. At 74 signal stations, purpose-built signal defensible guard houses were constructed, and some ... -
Development of fungal expression plasmids to facilitate promoter profiling and gene silencing studies in Coprinopsis cinerea /
(2020)The ink cap mushroom Coprinopsis cinerea (formally Coprinus cinereus) has long been regarded as one of the best model systems for the study of basidiomycete fungi. Most attention in C. cinerea has been focused on processes ... -
An integrated computer vision and machine learning system for emulsion processing /
(2020)The existing quality evaluation of emulsions is typically based on subjective examination of samples under the microscope by trained analysts. The major drawbacks of such manual assessment include inter-observer variability, ... -
Optimization of Ethereum transaction and block delivery performance
