Recent Submissions
-
(International Union of Crystallography, 2019)The investigation of mechanical properties in molecular crystals is emerging as a novel area of interest in crystal engineering. Indeed, good mechanical properties are required to manufacture pharmaceutical and technologically ...
-
(2019)A temperature-insensitive refractometer based on a refractive index (RI)-modulated singlemode-multimode-singlemode (RMSMS) fibre structure is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In this investigation, a combination ...
-
(Springer Verlag, 2019)Bauxite residue, the byproduct of alumina production, may potentially be a valuable source of strategically important metals, e.g. Gallium. Ga is considered critical element for the EU. To ensure adequate supply of Ga for ...
-
Fast pyrolysis of poultry litter in a bubbling fluidised bed reactor: energy and nutrient recovery (MDPI, 2019)Livestock production is among the most rapidly growing sectors of the agricultural economy driven primarily by growing demand for animal protein, but also posing significant waste disposal issues and environmental impacts. ...
-
(MDPI, 2019)Continuous casting is a process whereby molten metal is solidified into a semi-finished billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in finishing mills; it is the most frequently used process to cast not only steel, but ...
-
(SpringerOpen, 2019)We present a model for network transformation mediated by confinement, as a demonstration of a simple network dynamics that has a direct connection with real world quantities. The model has the capacity of generating ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019)Higher Education Institutes are being called upon to integrate sustainable development into their organisation, driven by national and international events, policies and environmental targets. This paper maps sustainability ...
-
(2019)A regenerated fiber Bragg grating (RFBG) in silica fiber was used to observe the viscous relaxation process of the host silica fiber at high temperatures of around 1000 C. Two factors, preannealing time and loaded tension, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)Warning: this paper contains a range of words which may cause offence. In recent years, many studies target anti-social behaviour such as offensive language and cyberbullying in online communication. Typically, these ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)We present the results of predictive modelling for the detection of anti-social behaviour in online communication in Arabic, such as comments which contain obscene or offensive words and phrases. We collected and labelled ...
-
(2019)The in vitro antithrombotic properties of polar lipid constituents of malted grain (MG), pelleted hops (PH), brewer’s spent grain (BSG), spent hops (SH), wort, and bottled beer from the same production line were assessed ...
-
(University of Nebraska Press, 2019)Analysis of the cellular response to piezoelectric materials has been driven by the discovery that many tissue components exhibit piezoelectric behavior ex vivo. In particular, polyvinylidene fluoride and the trifluoroethylene ...
-
(MDPI, 2019)Piezoelectric materials based on lead zirconate titanate are widely used in sensors and actuators. However, their application is limited because of high processing temperature, brittleness, lack of conformal deposition ...
-
(MDPI, 2019)Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, and repetitive behaviors. In addition, co-morbidities such as gastro-intestinal ...
-
(Springer, 2017)Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) is a new approach to harvest stronger wind streams at higher altitudes for renewable energy. This paper reviews recent developments in this field. Conventional wind energy and current constrains ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2017)In this work a method is developed for the extraction and purification of the three curcuminoids; Curcumin (CUR), Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) from commercially available crude curcumin. In a ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019)Artificial neural network (ANN) modelling is applied to predict the mean residence time of pharmaceutical formulation in a twin-screw granulator. Process parameters including feed flow rate, screw speed, and liquid to solid ...
-
(2019)Ratios of equilibrium solubilities rarely exceed two-fold for polymorph pairs. A model has been developed based on two intrinsic properties of polymorph pairs, namely the ratio of equilibrium solubilities of the individual ...
-
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)Air gasification of poultry litter was experimentally investigated in a laboratory scale bubbling fluidised bed gasifier. Gasification tests were conducted at atmospheric pressure using silica sand as the bed material. ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)We reflect on the process, outcomes and value generated by applying co-design to a large scale, long-term (4 years) collaboration involving designers, developers and cultural heritage professionals, with the goal of ...
