- In the area of agricultural research, a study recently carried out
examined various methods for modelling the shape of lactation curves in Irish dairy cows.
Lactation curve equations developed in Killen, L and Keane, M Irish Journal of
Agricultural Research Vol 17 267-282 (1978) have been improved upon
on the basis of more up-do-date data and the use of better methodology
and new techniques. This research was funded by a Teagasc Walsh
Fellowship until 2007, and has resulted in a number of refereed
publications and contributions to conferences. This work is still on-going
- Some research has recently been carried out as part of an on-going
investigation in the School of Chemical Sciences into the state of science, and in
particular Chemisty, in secondary schools. A small survey of Chemistry teachers was
carried out and analysed, and extensions to this study are now under way.
- Some work is under way on evaluation of machine
translation methodologies in conjunction with SALIS.
