• Compositional variation and hazards of wood ash in Ireland 

  Jagodzinski, Lucas Simon (University College Cork, 2016)

  The lack of physico-chemical as well as ecotoxicological data on wood energy ash in Ireland hampers its development as a secondary raw material. This study compiled the first compositional account of the energy wastes and ...
• An in silico analysis of bacteriocin production in the human microbiota and its relationship with health 

  Walsh, Calum (University College Cork, 2017)

  Advances in computing power and metagenomic sequencing have facilitated the sourcing of a wealth of evidence to support the long-held belief that the complex community of microorganisms inhabiting the human gastrointestinal ...
• Digital signal processing for fiber-optic communication systems 

  Ouyang, Xing (University College Cork, 2017)

  As the available bandwidth of optical fibers has been almost fully exploited, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) comes to rescue and is a critical technology underpinning the next generation advanced fiber-optic systems. ...
• Lactic acid bacteria fermentation of wort as a tool to add functionality in malting, brewing and novel beverages 

  Peyer, Lorenzo (University College Cork, 2017)

  This thesis addresses the investigation of several strains of LAB for biopreservation using in vitro and in situ studies, as well as for acidification of wort to be applied during sour brewing and as novel beverages. The ...
• Biodiversity of lactococcal bacteriophages and associated phage-host interactions 

  Oliveira, Joana (University College Cork, 2017)

  Lactococcus lactis represents one of the most intensely exploited species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for dairy fermentations. The intensive and repeated application of lactococcal strains or strain blends in dairy ...
