Cold adaptation and replicable microbial community development during long-term low-temperature anaerobic digestion treatment of synthetic sewage
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-25)The development and activity of a cold-adapting microbial community was monitored during low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LtAD) treatment of wastewater. Two replicate hybrid anaerobic sludge bed-fixed-film reactors ... -
A combined experimental and numerical study of stab-penetration forces
(Elsevier, 2013-12)The magnitude of force used in a stabbing incident can be difficult to quantify, although the estimate given by forensic pathologists is often seen as 'critical' evidence in medico-legal situations. The main objective of ... -
Combining glycocluster synthesis with protein engineering: an approach to probe into the significance of linker length in a tandem-repeat-type lectin (galectin-4)
(Elsevier, 2014-05-07)Complementarity in lectin-glycan interactions in situ is assumed to involve spatial features in both the lectin and the glycan, giving a functional meaning to structural aspects of the lectin beyond its carbohydrate-binding ... -
The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)Ethyl levulinate (Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate) is a liquid molecule at ambient temperature, comprising of ketone and ethyl ester functionalities and is one of the prominent liquid fuel candidates that may be easily obtained from ... -
Combustion of n-C3–C6 linear alcohols: An experimental and kinetic modeling study. Part I: Reaction classes, rate rules, model lumping, and validation
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-27)This work (and the companion paper, Part II) presents new experimental data for the combustion of n-C3–C6 alcohols (n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol) and a lumped kinetic model to describe their pyrolysis and ... -
Combustion of n-C3–C6 linear alcohols: An experimental and kinetic modeling study. Part II: Speciation measurements in a jet-stirred reactor, ignition delay time measurements in a rapid compression machine, model validation, and kinetic analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2020-10-27)This work presents new experimental data for n-C3–C6 alcohol, combustion (n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol). Speciation measurements have been carried out in a jet-stirred reactor (p = 107 kPa, T = 550–1100 K, ... -
Compact travelling waves in viscoelastic solids
(IOP Science, 2009-09-02)We introduce a model for nonlinear viscoelastic solids, for which travelling shear waves with compact support are possible. Using analytical and numerical methods, we investigate the general case of this model, and an ... -
Comparative chemical kinetic analysis and skeletal mechanism generation for syngas combustion with NOx chemistry
(American Chemical Society, 2019-12-09)Emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are one of the major environmental concerns arising from the combustion of syngas. Strategies to reduce emission and improve the efficiency of syngas combustion can be developed using ... -
Comparative genome analysis identifies novel nucleic acid diagnostic targets for use in the specific detection of Haemophilus influenzae
(Elsevier, 2015-06-23)Haemophilus influenzae is recognised as an important human pathogen associated with invasive infections, including bloodstream infection and meningitis. Currently used molecular-based diagnostic assays lack specificity in ... -
A comparative reactivity study of 1-alkene fuels from ethylene to 1-heptene
(Elsevier, 2020-09-23)A comparative reactivity study of 1-alkene fuels from ethylene to 1-heptene has been performed using ignition delay time (IDT) measurements from both a high-pressure shock tube and a rapid compression machine, at an ... -
A comparative study of the effect of varied reaction environments on a swirl stabilized flame geometry via optical measurements
(Elsevier, 2018-01-04)The present work is a part of a larger experimental campaign which examines the behaviour of various fuels on a swirl stabilized flame burner configuration. Overall, detailed speciation measurements and temperature ... -
Comparing borehole televiewer logs with continuous core: An example from New Zealand
(International Geothermal Association, 2015-04-19)The use of borehole televiewer logging is a recent addition to the well logging toolkit available to the geothermal industry in New Zealand. The information acquired from borehole televiewer (BHTV) equipment, such as the ... -
