Probing the low-temperature chemistry of ethanol via the addition of dimethyl ether
(Elsevier, 2017-11-28)Considering the importance of ethanol (EtOH) as an engine fuel and a key component of surrogate fuels, the further understanding of its auto-ignition and oxidation characteristics at engine-relevant conditions (high pressures ... -
Processing and analysis of high temperature geothermal acoustic borehole image logs in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2014-06-19)Acoustic borehole televiewer (BHTV) logs provide direct observations of lithology, structure and in-situ stress in reservoirs, essential for successful well targeting and field management. Analyses of BHTV logs acquired ... -
Program quality with pair programming in CS1
(2005)In several regression applications, a different structural relationship might be anticipated for the higher or lower responses than the average responses. In such cases, quantile regression analysis can uncover important ... -
Progressive Decoration of a Pentanuclear Cu(II) 12-Metallocrown-4 Towards Targeted 1- and 2-D Extended Networks
(RSC, 2013-07-05)The synthesis, structures and magnetic characterisation of a family of discrete planar pentanuclear Cu(II) 12-MC-4 metallacrowns of formulae [Cu5(L1)4(MeOH)4](ClO4)2 (1), [Cu5(L1)4(py)2](ClO4)2·py (2), [Cu5(L1)4(py)6](ClO4)2 ... -
Projected Range Contractions of European Protected Oceanic Montane Plant Communities: Focus on Climate Change Impacts Is Essential for Their Future Conservation
(PlosOne, 2014-04-21)Global climate is rapidly changing and while many studies have investigated the potential impacts of this on the distribution of montane plant species and communities, few have focused on those with oceanic montane affinities. ... -
Proper formulation of viscous dissipation for nonlinear waves in solids
(Acoustical Society of America, 2013-03)To model nonlinear viscous dissipative motions in solids, acoustical physicists usually add terms the material time derivative of the Lagrangian strain tensor E, to the elastic stress tensor; derived from the expansion to ... -
Propionate production by bioelectrochemically-assisted lactate fermentation and simultaneous CO2 recycling
(Frontiers Media, 2020-12-15)Production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), fundamental building blocks for the chemical industry, depends on fossil fuels but organic waste is an emerging alternative substrate. Lactate produced from sugar-containing waste ... -
The Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib Sensitizes AML with Myelomonocytic Differentiation to TRAIL Mediated Apoptosis
(2011)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive stem cell malignancy that is difficult to treat. There are limitations to the current treatment regimes especially after disease relapse, and therefore new therapeutic agents ... -
Proton resonance frequency shift thermometry: A review of modern clinical practices
(Wiley, 2020-11-20)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a popular modality in guiding minimally invasive thermal therapies, due to its advanced, nonionizing, imaging capabilities and its ability to record changes in temperature. A ... -
Pulse variation of the optical emission of Crab pulsar
(2007)The stability of the optical pulse of the Crab pulsar is analyzed based on the 1 $\mu$s resolution observations with the Russian 6-meter and William Hershel telescopes equipped with different photon-counting detectors. The ... -
The pyrolysis of 2-methylfuran: a quantum chemical, statistical rate theory and kinetic modelling study
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-01-27)Due to the rapidly growing interest in the use of biomass derived furanic compounds as potential platform chemicals and fossil fuel replacements, there is a simultaneous need to understand the pyrolysis and combustion ... -
Pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane in a single pulse shock tube
(Elsevier, 2017-08-16)The pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane have been studied behind reflected shock waves at pressures of 1.0-2.5 atm and at temperatures of 1000-1500 K. A single-pulse shock tube (SPST) was used to measure reactant, ... -
A pyrolysis study of allylic hydrocarbon fuels
(Wiley, 2020-08-17)The pyrolysis of selected C3 C5 allylic hydrocarbons has been studied using a single-pulse shock tube. A new single-pulse shock tube has been designed and constructed by recommissioning an existing conventional shock ... -
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 ... -
