Fly Ash As A Soil Amendment In The Northern Red River Valley, Amy Decker

Undergraduate Theses and Senior Projects

Combustion of coal occurs worldwide to produce energy for numerous residential and industrial processes.

Thus the production and consumption has turned into a global activity with transport filling the gaps among them.

Influence Of Nationality On The Interpretation Of Ireland's Tourism Destination Imagery, Catriona Murphy-Underhill

Plymouth Business School Theses

This thesis investigates the influence of nationality on the interpretations of the tourism destination imagery of Ireland, drawing in particular on the views of tourists travelling from Britain.

By means of empirical research applied to the same sample of tourists travelling from Britain to Ireland via Shannon airport, the factors …
