Effect of high-temperature corrosion on the service life of P91 piping in biomass co-firing
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016-02-24)Co-firing biomass with traditional fuels is becoming increasingly relevant to thermal power plant operators due to increasingly stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. It has been found that when biomass is ... -
Effect of hydroxyapatite on biodegradable scaffolds fabricated by SLS
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd., 2009)Selective laser sintering (SLS) has the potential to fabricate bioresorbable polymer / ceramic composite scaffolds with pre-designed external and internal architecture that can be used for bone tissue engineering applications. ... -
The effect of inclusions on the high‐temperature low‐cycle fatigue performance of cast MarBN: Experimental characterisation and computational modelling
(Wiley, 2018-06-15)The presence of inclusions is a known source of crack initiation and component failure in cast materials. In this work, the role of inclusions is investigated via a combined program of high-temperature low-cycle fatigue ... -
The effect of intraluminal contact mediated guidance signals on axonal mismatch during peripheral nerve repair
(Elsevier, 2012-06-25)The current microsurgical gold standard for repairing long gap nerve injuries is the autograft. Autograft provides a protective environment for repair and a natural internal architecture, which is essential for regeneration. ... -
Effect of logarithmic and linear frequency scales on parametric modelling of tissue dielectric data
(IOP Publishing, 2017-02-03)The dielectric properties of biological tissues have been studied widely over the past half-century. These properties are used in a vast array of applications, from determining the safety of wireless telecommunication ... -
The effect of medical device regulations on deploying a Lean Six Sigma project
(MDPI, 2022-11-05)This paper investigates the differences in timelines involved in Lean Six Sigma (LSS) project deployment in a regulated industry versus in an unregulated one. Two case studies utilising Lean Six Sigma methods¿in order to ... -
Effect of microwave and thermal co-pyrolysis of low-rank coal and pine wood on product distributions and char structure
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-07)Direct conversion of a low-rank coal into valuable chemicals or improving its char’s coking value became very demanding goals in coal utilization strategies. In this work, the co-pyrolysis of a low-rank lignite coal and ... -
Effect of modeling approach on climate change focused life cycle assessments for a contemporary smartphone device
(2014)Life cycle assessments (LCA) of consumer electronics and beyond are usually performed and reported very differently. As a result it is often difficult to assess the robustness, variability and transparency of reported LCA ... -
Effect of pre-corrosion on damage evolution and crack propagation in aluminum alloy 7050-T7651
(Wiley, 2018-05-16)This paper investigates the effects of pre-corrosion on the tensile behavior of aluminum alloy 7050-T7651. A combined experimental approach involving digital image correlation, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile ... -
The Effect of Principal Component Analysis on Machine Learning Accuracy with High Dimensional Spectral Data
(2005)The classi¿cation of high dimensional data, such as images, gene-expression data and spectral data, poses an interesting challenge to machine learning, as the presence of high numbers of redundant or highly correlated ... -
Effect of rainfall interval on runoff losses of biosolids and meat and bone meal when applied to a grassland soil
(Springer, 2014)This study assessed runoff losses following laboratory rainfall simulation on a grassland soil at two time intervals (48 and 216 h) after a single application of biosolids and meat and bone meal (MBM). The treatments were: ... -
The effect of remodelling and contractility of the actin cytoskeleton on the shear resistance of single cells: a computational and experimental investigation
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2012-07-18)The biomechanisms that govern the response of chondrocytes to mechanical stimuli are poorly understood. In this study, a series of in vitro tests are performed, in which single chondrocytes are subjected to shear deformation ... -
Effect of sawdust addition on composting of separated raw and anaerobically digested pig manure
(Elsevier, 2012-06)Manures need the addition of carbon-rich bulking agents to conserve N during composting, which increases the cost of the composting process. The recommended proportion of manure / sawdust, based on a carbon (C): nitrogen ... -
