Abstract:
Isobutene is an important intermediate in the pyrolysis and oxidation of higher-order branched alkanes, and it is also a component of commercial gasolines. To better understand its combustion characteristics, a series of ignition delay time (IDT) and laminar flame speed (LFS) measurements have been performed. In addition, flow reactor speciation data recorded for the pyrolysis and oxidation of isobutene is also reported. Predictions of an updated kinetic model described herein are compared with each of these data sets, as well as with existing jet-stirred reactor (JSR) species measurements.IDTs of isobutene oxidation were measured in four different shock tubes and in two rapid compression machines (RCMs) under conditions of relevance to practical combustors. The combination of shock tube and RCM data greatly expands the range of available validation data for isobutene oxidation models to pressures of 50 atm and temperatures in the range 666-1715 K. Isobutene flame speeds were measur...

Characterising the molecular response of Agaricus bisporus to mushroom virus X infection

Characterising the molecular response of Agaricus bisporus to mushroom virus X infection
(2019)
O'Connor, Eoin
Abstract:
Agaricus bisporus is a globally cultivated crop produced and consumed worldwide. This monoculture system and the advancement of consolidated growth of pre-colonised A. bisporus compost has coincided with the outbreak of a novel commercial disease, mushroom virus X (MVX). MVX constitutes a virome of 18 distinct single-stranded RNA viruses, of which select members cause detrimental disease phenotypes in infected mushrooms of A. bisporus. Scant focus has been placed on the molecular responses from the host during infection. The work presented herein provides novel genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and cellular resources to help address the gaps in knowledge concerning MVX and A. bisporus. The first whole genome sequencing and analysis of a wild A. bisporus var. bisporus was provided as a new resource for A. bisporus breeding research, revealing to be most closely related to the commercial white variety with a large accessory genome compared to other A. bisporus genomes. Dual-culture...

Development of a high time resolution optical polarimeter for astronomy

Development of a high time resolution optical polarimeter for astronomy
(2019)
O'Connor, Eoin
Abstract:
This work started in September, 2014 and initially started as an investigation of the characterisation issues associated with using Electron Multiplying Charge- Coupled Devices (EMCCDs) in a two beam polarimeter. It was necessary to undertake a work placement with Andor Technology Ltd. (Belfast) in 2015 to carry out testing and characterisation of CMOS and CCD sensors and to investigate how they could be integrated as imaging sensors with the GASP instrument. EMCCDs were selected due to their low noise performance under low light level conditions and the GASP instrument has been used over the duration of this work on three different telescopes, namely: the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma in December 2015, the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP) 1.93m telescope in September 2017 and the La Silla Observatory 3.6m Telescope in February 2018. The main initial design and fabrication work on the retarding beamsplitting (RBS) prism was undertaken previously in NUI Galway. The work ...

Whole Genome Sequence of the Commercially Relevant Mushroom Strain Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus ARP23

Abstract:
Agaricus bisporus is an extensively cultivated edible mushroom. Demand for cultivation is continuously growing and difficulties associated with breeding programs now means strains are effectively considered monoculture. While commercial growing practices are highly efficient and tightly controlled, the over-use of a single strain has led to a variety of disease outbreaks from a range of pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. To address this, the Agaricus Resource Program (ARP) was set up to collect wild isolates from diverse geographical locations through a bounty-driven scheme to create a repository of wild Agaricus germplasm. One of the strains collected, Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus ARP23, has been crossed extensively with white commercial varieties leading to the generation of a novel hybrid with a dark brown pileus commonly referred to as ‘Heirloom’. Heirloom has been successfully implemented into commercial mushroom cultivation. In this study the whole genome of A...
