Research has shown that crowdsourcing and crowdfunding are accelerators and facilitators of societal, business and institutional change, presenting numerous potential benefits to the triple helix of government, industry ...

This study investigated two important thermodynamic parameters of crystallisation: the activity coefficient and solubility. The influence of composition and temperature on the activity coefficient was investigated to provide ...

A detailed protocol for crystallizing membrane proteins that makes use of lipidic mesophases is described. This has variously been referred to as the lipid cubic phase or in meso method. The method has been shown to be ...

We propose a method tailored to the requirements of safety-critical embedded automotive software, named CTMCONTROL. CTMCONTROL has a particular focus on the specification-based control logic of the system under test and ...

The trend in next-generation switched-mode power supplies will lead to modular, scalable solutions which can deliver power efficiently over a wide range of operation. Multiple parallel power stages, often called phases ...

Service-based architectures have now become commonplace, creating the need to address their systematic maintenance and evolution. We propose to enable transformation-driven evolution for service architectures in ...

In multiplex networks, cycles cannot be characterized only by their length, as edges may occur in different layers in different combinations. We define a classification of cycles by the number of edges in each layer and ...

Gasification of Cynara cardunculus L. was performed in a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) using air as gasifying agent and, magnesite and olivine as different bed materials. Temperature was varied during the experiments (700-800 ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a major cause of death and morbidity globally and diet plays a crucial role in the disease prevention and pathology. The negative perception of dairy fats stems from the effort to ...

The goal of this project was to accurately predict the ultimate failure strengths of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composite open hole tension specimens using the Ladevèze continuum mechanics damage model, currently ...
