STRIVE 124 - Fiachra Collins, Dylan Orpen, Eoghan McNamara, Cormac Fay, Dermot Diamond, April 2014
Year: 2014
Autonomous sensor platforms were developed by the research team in Dublin City University (DCU) allowing for long-term continuous monitoring of greenhouse gases and extraction pressure. Web-based accessibility via integrated telemetry facilitated data access and visualisation from remote deployments. These platforms were employed principally on landfill sites.

Summary of findings for STRIVE 110 - 'RE-Evaluate - Re-use of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Evaluation and Mainstreaming)'
STRIVE 110: Maurice O'Connell and Colin Fitzpatrick, January 2014
Year: 2014
Reuse is considered as a potential building block towards achieving more sustainable consumption of electrical and electronic equipment, covering environmental, economic and social dimensions.
2 page summary of findings for STRIVE 120 - Assessment and Monitoring of Ocean Noise in Irish Waters, January 2014
Year: 2014
Sources of anthropogenic (man-made) ocean noise include noise emitted from activities such as shipping, seismic surveying, geophysical surveying, construction, oil drilling and production, dredging, sonar systems, acoustic deterrents and most recently from the construction and operation of renewable energy platforms.

Year: 2014
Sources of anthropogenic (man-made) ocean noise include noise emitted from activities such as shipping, seismic surveying, geophysical surveying, construction, oil drilling and production, dredging, sonar systems, acoustic deterrents and most recently from the construction and operation of renewable energy platforms. Anthropogenic ocean noise can elicit a range of physical, physiological and behavioural effects on marine animals.

STRIVE 117 - Fiona Regan, Ambrose Furey, Kevin James, Micheal Cahill, Lisa Jones, James Chapman, Antoin Lawlor, Mary Stack, December 2013
Year: 2013
This project represents an important collaboration between two research centres (Dublin City University and Cork Institute of Technology) with analytical expertise, and three councils (Fingal, Cork and Dublin Councils), building capability to establish risk factors for PSs and PHSs.
STRIVE 101 - Summary of Findings: Flow Photochemistry – A GREEN technology with a bright future , December 2013
Year: 2013
Currently, for every 1kg of active pharmaceutical product produced between 25 and 100kg of waste is generated. This project looks at new technologies that reduce water and energy requirements, offering cost savings and improved product yield, with less waste gnerated.
STRIVE 119 - Summary of Findings: Safer Acid Catalysts, December 2013
Year: 2013
This report details our progress towards the development of safer, less toxic and biodegradable chemicals called acid catalysts.
STRIVE 113 - Summary of Findings: The use of novel enzymes for the cleaner, greener production of cellulosic bioethanol, December 2013
Year: 2013
The focus of this project was to develop an alternative greener pretreatment method, based on the use of thermoacidophilic enzymes, which aims to improve the efficiency of the pretreatment step and overcome many of the technical, economical, environmental and health & safety related disadvantages associated with current practice.
STRIVE 116 - Summary of Findings: Developing Coated Filtration Membranes for Water Purification, December 2013
Year: 2013
This project involved a laboratory scale study into improving the properties of commercial water filtration membranes for removal of metal ions such as copper and chromium from water, forming ion selective smart membranes and the reduction of protein fouling.
