The School of Chemical Sciences, Dublin City University, is one of Ireland's most progressive and highest achieving Schools with outstanding facilities, housed within a modern and dynamic city campus.
Our goal is to help our students to develop the ability to critically evaluate, and then to solve, chemical and pharmaceutical problems, preparing students for the challenges of the modern industrial or research laboratory.
The School is also one of the most successful Chemistry Schools in Ireland for attracting large scale research funding, with our researchers having significant roles within nationally significant university/industry collaborative initiatives.
In 2006 the European Union issued a Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) which among other materials banned the use of lead in electronics. The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry in the US designs and manufactures products that carry more than three billion passengers worldwide on any given day as well as systems which are vital to our national security. In order to transition to lead-free electronics, the A&D industry demands careful analysis and research into the performance, reliability and safety of these materials in order to maintain public safety and assure our war-fighters’ mission is successful and safe. In this effort, the College of Engineering at Tuskegee University and the Boeing Company has teamed to understand some of the knowledge gaps that surround this new technology. Students at Tuskegee are undertaking an effort to understand the best use of conformal coatings to mitigate the risks these tin protrusions can cause in an electronic circuit. Also, Tuskegee is studying the effects tin whiskers may have on the ability of conformal coatings to protect Circuit Boards from corrosion.

Global Carbon Budget (http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/carbonbudget/)
Global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and cement production continue to grow at a high pace
* Global CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuel and cement production grew 2.3 per cent to a record high of 36 billion tonnes CO2 in 2013. Emissions from deforestation remain low in comparison, at 3.3 billion tonnes CO2 in 2013, accounting for 8% of total emissions.
* Fossil fuel CO2 emissions are projected to increase 2.5% in 2014, bringing the total CO2 emissions from all sources above 40 billion tonnes CO2.
* Fossil fuel emissions in the last ten years grew at 2.5% per year on average, lower than the growth rate in the 2000s (3.3%) but higher than the growth rate in the 1990s (1%). The declining growth rate in recent years is associated with lower GDP growth compared to the 2000s, particularly in China.
* Fossil fuel emissions track the high end of emissions scenarios used by the IPCC to project climate change, due to smaller improvements in carbon intensity of GDP than expected in most scenarios, and continued GDP growth.
* Given current projection of the World GDP, emissions are expected to grow further in the absence of more stringent mitigation.
* The largest emitters were China, USA, EU28 and India, together accounting for 58% of the global emissions and 80% of the growth in 2013 (top 20 emitters provided below). Key results for the top four emitters are:
- Chinese emissions grew at 4.2%, the lowest level since the 2007-2008 because of weaker economic growth and improvements in the carbon intensity of the economy.
- USA emission increased 2.9% in 2013 due to a rebound in coal consumption, reversing the declining trend in emissions since 2008.
- Indian emissions grew at 5.1% caused by robust economic growth and an increase in the carbon intensity of the economy.
- EU28 emissions decreased 1.8% on the back of a weak economy and emission decreases in some countries offsetting a return to coal led by Poland, Germany, Finland.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

The London NERC Doctoral Training Partnership
Two term intensive training
Four Year Programme
The London NERC DTP has offered 36 fully funded PhD
studentships this year.
Our aim is to attain new standards of excellence in environmental science
research training and deliver a transformative inter-disciplinary experience
for PhD students in the heart of London.
Our students will be trained by 9 of the world leading research centres,
which cover a huge range of the environmental sciences from those driven
by contemporary environmental challenges to those exploring complex
questions about the evolution of planet Earth.
The London NERC DTP shares NERC’s ambition to provide world-class
PhD training in environmental research across a broad range of fields. We
provide a core element of training and student choice to enhance the
doctoral experience and prepare students to become future leaders in
their fields.
We have designed a multidisciplinary 4-year training programme to
enthuse and engage and ensure that our students develop the core
science skills needed to make optimal progress.
As well as our 9 Core academic partners the London NERC DTP is fully
engaged with the business, industry, civil society and government through
our Associate partner organizations. These currently include: Agip,
Arcadis Ltd, Air Worldwide, AstraZeneca, Astrium, British Antarctic Survey,
Broads Authority, BUCEFAS, BHP Billiton, CABI, CEFAS, CEH
Wallingford, ChemTrust, DEFRA, Department of Health, Environment
Agency, DMCii, FERA, Fluid Dynamics, Forestry Research, Geospatial
Research, Glaxo, Highlands Birchwoods, Infoterra Ltd, Lloyds, Natural
England, National Lobster Hatchery, Met Office, Microsoft International,
MI Swaco, National Physics Laboratory, Permian Capital Ltd, Pfizer,
Proudman Labs, Ove Arup, Quantemol, Rezatec, Risk Management
Solutions, Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Trust, RSPB, Thames
Estuary Partnership, Science Museum, Supraregional Assay Service,
Surrey Satellites, South-West Water SAFHOS, Scottish Crop Research
Institute, SERCON, STFC Laboratories, Thames Water, UHI, Willis Ltd,
Water Research Centre, WCMC, WCS of Europe and the Zoological
Society of London.
Our programme structure includes new teaching elements contributed by
all Partners to span all the research themes. It will equip each student to
conduct empirical and/or theoretical research, underpinned by rigorous
numerical and statistical skills.
It is expected that each student will, of course, become expert in their
chosen specific research field but you will also obtain additional key skills
to maximise your future employability.
All students will therefore be enrolled on an intensive programme of
interdisciplinary core research and professional development training in
Term 1 with specialised pathway-oriented courses in Term 2, and PhD
Workshops and Project Development, and further transferable skills and
project-oriented training in Years 2, 3 and 4.
