-
(2019)Cryptocurrencies witnessed extensive attention from both academia and industry after the inflation in 2017. This broad recognition has led to its adoption by people beyond the research domain. This increased adoption may ...
-
(2019)Attaining consensus with no constraints on the consensus participation is a fundamental feature of decentralized blockchain solutions such as Bitcoin (Nakamoto, 2008) and Ethereum (Buterin et al., 2013). Unrestricted ...
-
(Electrochemical Society, 2019)We report a newadditive,monobasic potassium arsenate (KH2AsO4), for improving the thermal stability of VFB catholytes.Using our standard accelerated testing methodology at 30–70°C, we showed that the effect increases ...
-
(Optical Society of America, 2019)Q-switched pulse laser generation is successfully demonstrated in both Erbiumdoped fibre laser (EDFL) and Thulium-doped fibre laser (TDFL) cavities by employing Nickel disulfide (NiS2) as a saturable absorber (SA). ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Increasing evidence links proteins of the S100 family to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). S100 proteins are EF-hand calcium-binding proteins with intra- and extracellular functions related to regulation of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)Abolition of EU milk quotas in April 2015 has provided a platform for milk production to grow significantly within the EU. This growth has been dramatic and instantaneous with a 33% increase in milk production recorded in ...
-
(Springer, 2019)An aging population, whose multi-morbidities and risk of frailty increase with age results in significant health and social care consumption. Increasing complexity amplifies fragmentation of care and results in sub optimal ...
-
(2017)In order to establish the viability and efficiency of Orientated Strand Board (OSB) for use in bending active gridshells, the relevant material properties need to be established. Standard test methods for OSB assume the ...
-
(2017)Masson SAS Massecuite is a liquid mixture that is boiled to produce raw sugar. When formed from poor-quality sugar cane, massecuite can be difficult to boil, leading to factory shutdowns lasting several weeks. This ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)Industry 4.0 is the term commonly used in Europe to describe the combination of a number of emerging and rapidly evolving technologies that represent the state of the art in the Manufacturing Industry today. Going beyond ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper describes the design and manufacture of a low-cost laboratory test device capable of testing metallic materials at elevated temperatures. The device, which consists of an environmental chamber, specimen gripping ...
-
(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, ...
-
(MDPI, 2019)In numerous industrial applications, the microstructure of materials is critical for performance. However, finite element models tend to average out the microstructure. Hence, finite element simulations are often unsuitable ...
