International ocean discovery program expedition 372 preliminary report: creeping gas hydrate slides and Hikurangi LWD, 26 November 2017 - 4 January 2018
(Texan A&M University, 2018-03)
International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 372 combined two research topics, slow slip events (SSEs) on subduction faults (IODP Proposal 781A-Full) and actively deforming gas hydrate bearing landslides (IODP ...
A chemical kinetic interpretation of the octane appetite of modern gasoline engines
(Elsevier, 2018-06-29)
Fuel anti-knock quality is a critical property with respect to the effective design of next-generation spark-ignition engines which aim to have increased efficiency, and lower emissions. Increasing evidence in the literature ...
Use of sublimation catalysis and polycrystalline powder templates for polymorph control of gas phase crystallization
(American Chemical Society, 2018-05-08)
In pursuit of a solvent-free green alternative to solution-based processes, we have applied the combined use of catalytic additives and polycrystalline powder templates for polymorph control of gas phase crystallization ...
Design of experiments approach to provide enhanced glucose-oxidising enzyme electrode for membrane-less enzymatic fuel cells operating in human physiological fluids
(Wiley, 2018-03-30)
Graphite electrodes are modified with a redox polymer, [Os(4,4-dimethoxy-2,2-bipyridine)(2)(polyvinylimidazole)(10)Cl](+) (E degrees=-0.02V vs Ag/AgCl (3M KCl), crosslinked with a flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose ...
Multiplexed electrochemical cancer diagnostics with automated microfluidics
(Wiley, 2018-11-27)
Microfluidic platforms can lead to miniaturisation, increased throughput and reduced reagent consumption, particularly when the processes are automated. Here, a programmable microcontroller is used for automation of a ...
Comparison of performance of an earthen plate and nafion as membrane separators in dual chamber microbial fuel cells
(Universitatea Tehnica "Gheorghe Asachi" Iasi. Editura Politehnium, Romania, 2018-02)
The performance of microbial fuel cells (MFC) employing an earthen plate as a membrane separator is compared to that using Nafion 117 in an identical up-flow dual-chambered cylindrical cell configuration. The MFC configuration ...
Entertaining physics education: using an astronomy board game to enhance student learning and motivation
(GIREP-MPTL 2018, 2018-07-09)
This study examines the effects of a novel Astronomy Board Game on students science performance, their attitudes towards learning Science through games and their perception of scientists. Post-primary students in Ireland ...
Influence of acyl groups on glucopyranoside reactivity in Lewis acid promoted anomerisation
(Elsevier, 2018-05-26)
Lewis acid promoted anomerisation has potential in O- or S-glycoside synthesis. Herein, the anomerisation kinetics of thirty-one β-d-glucopyranosides was determined to determine how particular acyl protecting groups and ...
Revealing biomedically relevant cell and lectin type-dependent structure–activity profiles for glycoclusters by using tissue sections as an assay platform
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-08-14)
The increasing realization of the involvement of lectin-glycan recognition in (patho)physiological processes inspires envisioning therapeutic intervention by high-avidity/specificity blocking reagents. Synthetic glycoclusters ...
Cost-effective wireless microcontroller for internet connectivity of open-source chemical devices
(American Chemical Society, 2018-06-04)
This paper presents a system for remote monitoring of turbidity data that can detect light intensity and temperature using a microcontroller and the Internet of Things. The system comprises a light dependent resistor and ...
