New Zealand geothermal power plants as critical facilities: an active fault avoidance study in the Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(International Geothermal Association, 2015-04-19)
Active faults in rifts commonly provide high crustal permeability and control geothermal fluid pathways. However, active faults can also pose surface deformation hazards to geothermal power plants and associated infrastructure. ...
Feasibility of storing carbon dioxide on a tectonically active margin: New Zealand
(American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2015-09-13)
New Zealand's sedimentary basins was found to have available several gigatonnes of CO2 storage capacity. However, CO2 storage is currently untested in New Zealand. The country's position on an active Neogene plate boundary ...
Crystalline adducts of the Lawsone molecule (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone): optical properties and computational modelling
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-09-04)
Four new crystalline adducts of the Lawsone molecule (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone) with 4,4'-bipyridine, 4-(2-pyridine-4-ethyl)pyridine, 1,3-di.4-pyridyl)propane and 2-hydroxy pyridine are reported. Adduct formation leads ...
Hydrogen bonding networks and solid-state conversions in benzamidinium salts
(2015-07-14)
Ten benzamidinium salts of carboxylic acids, amides, and sulfonamides have been crystallized from solution. Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed various hydrogen bonding motifs which ate discussed in terms of supramolecular ...
Some design considerations for polymer-free drug-eluting stents: a mathematical approach
(Elsevier (Science Direct), 2015)
In this paper we provide the first model of drug elution from polymer-free arterial drug-eluting
stents. The generalised model is capable of predicting the drug release from a number of polymer-free systems including those ...
Measuring the linear and nonlinear elastic properties of brain tissue with shear waves and inverse analysis
(Springer, 2015-02-20)
We use supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) technique to measure not only the linear but also the nonlinear elastic properties of brain matter. Here, we tested six porcine brains ex vivo and measured the velocities of the ...
A mathematical model for the release of peptide-binding drugs from affinity hydrogels
(Palgrave, 2015-01-09)
A mathematical model for the release of peptide-binding drugs from affinity hydrogels is analyzed in detail. The model is not specific to any particular peptide/drug/gel system, and can describe drug release from a large ...
Incremental equations for soft fibrous materials
(Springer, 2015)
The general theory of nonlinear anisotropic elasticity
is extended to describe small-amplitude motions and static deformations
that can be superimposed on large pre-strains of fibre-reinforced
solids. The linearised ...
Gent models for the inflation of spherical balloons
(Elsevier, 2015)
We revisit an iconic deformation of non-linear elasticity: the inflation of a rubber spherical thin shell. We use the 3-parameter Mooney and Gent-Gent (GG) phenomenological models to explain the stretch-strain curve of a ...
Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear
(Elsevier, 2015-03-13)
We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60%. This result followed from simple shear experiments ...
