• Genomic and in silico protein structural analyses provide insights into marine polysaccharide-degrading enzymes in the sponge-derived Pseudoalteromonas sp. PA2MD11 

  de Oliveira, Bruno Francesco Rodrigues; Rodrigues Lopes, Isabelle; Bauer Canellas, Anna Luiza; Muricy, Guilherme; Jackson, Stephen Anthony; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Laport, Marinella Silva (2021-09-21)

  Active heterotrophic metabolism is a critical metabolic role performed by sponge-associated microorganisms, but little is known about their capacity to metabolize marine polysaccharides (MPs). Here, we investigated the ...
• Infant feeding and the energy transition: A comparison between decarbonising breastmilk substitutes with renewable gas and achieving the global nutrition target for breastfeeding 

  Long, Aoife; Mintz-Woo, Kian; Daly, Hannah; O'Connell, Maeve; Smyth, Beatrice; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier Ltd., 2021-10-04)

  Renewable gas has been proposed as a solution to decarbonise industrial processes, specifically heat demand. As part of this effort, the breast-milk substitutes industry is proposing to use renewable gas as a substitute ...
• Levelised Cost of Energy assessment for offshore wind farms - an examination of different methodologies, input variables and uncertainty 

  Devoy McAuliffe, Fiona; Noonan, Miriam; Murphy, Jimmy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2021-08-31)

  Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) is the most common metric used in renewable energy assessments. However, this can be a very complex calculation with numerous methodologies depending on the perspective taken. Inputs including ...
• Shedding the load: moulting as a cause of variability in whole-body metal concentrations 

  O'Callaghan, Irene; Sullivan, Timothy (Oxford University Press, 2020-09-24)

  Moulting is a biological process shared by aquatic macroinvertebrates, but while the exoskeleton is believed to be a major sink of metal pollutants, the contribution of the moulting of the crustacean exoskeleton to total ...
• Delivering on the promise: how are sustainability research institutes enabling interdisciplinary research? 

  Bolger, Paul (Emerald, 2021)

  Interdisciplinary research institutes and centres have become significant elements of the university organisation, sometimes of equal or even greater influence than departments in terms of their research activity and ...
