Quantifying the Price of Uncertainty in Bayesian Models
(2013)During the exploratory phase of a typical statistical analysis it is natural to look at the data in order to narrow down the scope of the subsequent steps, mainly by selecting a set of families of candidate models ... -
Quantifying the stress distribution at the Rotokawa Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2012)Knowledge of the orientation and magnitude of the principal stresses can be used to model the behavior of faults and fractures, and determine how they may influence fracture hosted permeability in geothermal reservoirs. ... -
Quantitative analysis of cocaine in solid mixtures using Raman spectroscopy and chemometric methods
(Wiley, 2000)Near-infrared (785 mn) excitation was used to obtain Raman spectra from a series of 33 solid mixtures containing cocaine, caffeine and glucose (9.8-80.6% by weight cocaine), which were then analysed using chemometric ... -
Quantitative analysis of cocaine in solid mixtures using Raman spectroscopy and chemometric methods
(Wiley, 2000-04-27)Near-infrared (785 mn) excitation was used to obtain Raman spectra from a series of 33 solid mixtures containing cocaine, caffeine and glucose (9.8-80.6% by weight cocaine), which were then analysed using chemometric ... -
Quantitative analysis of weakly bound insulin oligomers in solution using polarized multidimensional fluorescence spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2020-09-08)Being able to measure the size and distribution of oligomers in solution is a critical issue in the manufacture and stability of insulin and other protein formulations. Measuring oligomers reliably can however be complicated, ... -
Quantitative geometric description of fracture systems in an andesite lava flow using terrestrial laser scanner data
(Elsevier, 2017-06-03)Permeability hosted in andesitic lava flows is dominantly controlled by fracture systems, with geometries that are often poorly constrained. This paper explores the fracture system geometry of an andesitic lava flow formed ... -
Quantitative polymorph contaminant analysis in tablets using Raman and near infra-red spectroscopies
(2013)The detection and quantification of alternate polymorphs of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly at low concentrations is a key issue for the manufacture and analysis of solid-state formulations. Each ... -
Quenched-annealed density functional theory for interfacial behavior of hard rods at a hard rod matrix
(AIP Publishing, 2009)We consider a system of mobile hard rods that are immersed in an isotropic matrix of hard rods with quenched positions and orientations. Using quenched-annealed density functional theory the disorder-averaged excess free ... -
A quiver presentation for Solomon's descent algebra
(Elsvier, 2009)The descent algebra S(W) is a subalgebra of the group algebra of a finite Coxeter group W, which supports a homomorphism with nilpotent kernel and commutative image in the character ring of W. Thus S(W) is a basic algebra, ... -
Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy
(2009)The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particles to energies exceeding 10^12 electron ... -
RAFT polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide based on an induced precipitation approach: synthesis of 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate/acrylamide block copolymers
(Wiley, 2015-05-13)A new controlled/living heterogeneous polymerization technique using RAFT in benign supercritical CO2 is described involving the formation of monomer-swollen seed particles by precipitation of macroRAFT agent prior to ... -
Rapid and efficient cancer cell killing mediated by high-affinity death receptor homotrimerizing TRAIL variants
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010)The tumour necrosis factor family member TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells through the activation of death receptors 4 (DR4) and 5 (DR5) and is considered ... -
Rapid characterization and quality control of complex cell culture media solutions using Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics
(2010)The use of Raman spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics for the rapid identification, characterization, and quality assessment of Complex cell culture media components used for industrial mammalian cell culture was ... -
A rapid culture independent methodology to quantitatively detect and identify common human bacterial pathogens associated with contaminated high purity water
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-18)Water and High Purity Water (HPW) distribution systems can be contaminated with human pathogenic microorganisms. This biocontamination may pose a risk to human health as HPW is commonly used in the industrial, pharmaceutical ... -
A rapid fluorescence based method for the quantitative analysis of cell culture media photo-degradation
(Elsevier (Science Direct), 2013-11-21)Cell culture media are very complex chemical mixtures that are one of the most important aspects in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The complex composition of many media leads to materials that are inherently unstable and ... -
Rapid hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters by zirconium(IV) complexes in neutral solution
(2012)Three zirconium(IV) complexes (1-3) with mono- and dinucleating tripodal ligands are reported that promote the hydrolysis of the phosphate monoesters p-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) and phenyl phosphate (PP) in neutral ... -
Rapid quantification of tryptophan and tyrosine in chemically defined cell culture media using fluorescence spectroscopy
(2012)The rapid and inexpensive analysis of the complex cell culture media used in industrial mammalian cell culture is required for quality and variance monitoring. Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy combined with ... -
Rapid screening for specific glycosylation and pathogen interactions on a 78 species avian egg white glycoprotein microarray
(Nature Research, 2017-07-25)There is an urgent need for discovery of novel antimicrobials and carbohydrate-based anti-adhesive strategies are desirable as they may not promote resistance. Discovery of novel anti-adhesive molecules from natural product ... -
Rapid unwinding of triplet repeat hairpins by Srs2 helicase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2008)Expansions of trinucleotide repeats cause at least 15 heritable human diseases. Single-stranded triplet repeat DNA in vitro forms stable hairpins in a sequence-dependent manner that correlates with expansion risk in vivo. ...
