• A naïve population of European oyster Ostrea edulis with reduced susceptibility to the pathogen Bonamia ostreae: are S-strategy life traits providing protection? 

  Egerton, Sian; Lynch, Sharon A.; Prado-Alvarez, Maria; Flannery, Grace; Brennan, Elaine; Hugh-Jones, Tristan; Hugh-Jones, David; Culloty, Sarah C. (Oxford University Press, 2020-06-13)

  European populations of the native flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, have been heavily depleted by two protozoan parasites, Marteila refringens and Bonamia ostreae, with mortalities of up to 90% reported in naïve populations. ...
• Graphene addition to digestion of thin stillage can alleviate acidic shock and improve biomethane production 

  Wu, Benteng; Lin, Richen; Kang, Xihui; Deng, Chen; Xia, Ao; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Murphy, Jerry D. (ACS Publications, 2020-08-12)

  Production of biomethane from distillery byproducts (such as stillage) in a circular economy system may facilitate a climate neutral alcohol industry. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of easily degradable substrates can lead to ...
• Wave power extraction from a hybrid oscillating water column-oscillating buoy wave energy converter 

  Cui, Lin; Zheng, Siming; Zhang, Yongliang; Miles, Jon; Iglesias, Gregorio (Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-23)

  Oscillating water column (OWC) devices and oscillating buoys (OBs) are two of the main types of wave energy converters (WECs). In this paper a hybrid oscillating water column-oscillating buoy wave energy converter is ...
• Economic and employment impacts of offshore wind for Ireland: A value chain analysis 

  Kandrot, Sarah; Cummins, Val; Jordan, Declan; Murphy, Jimmy (Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-07-13)

  The imminent development of a number of offshore wind farms in the Republic of Ireland presents a sizable opportunity to stimulate the Irish economy through the growth of an indigenous and globally competitive offshore ...
• Least cost energy system pathways towards 100% renewable energy in Ireland by 2050 

  Yue, Xiufeng; Patankar, Neha; Decarolis, Joseph; Chiodi, Alessandro; Rogan, Fionn; Deane, J. P.; O'Gallachoir, Brian (Elsevier B.V., 2020-07-03)

  Studies focusing on 100% renewable energy systems have emerged in recent years; however, existing studies tend to focus only on the power sector using exploratory approaches. This paper therefore undertakes a whole-system ...
