Characterising glyphosate exposures among amenity horticulturists using multiple spot urine samples
(Elsevier, 2018-07-08)Background Glyphosate has recently received much public attention following its Group 2A probably carcinogenic to humans classification from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Despite the widespread ... -
Characterising the anisotropic mechanical properties of excised human skin
(2012)The mechanical properties of skin are important for a number of applications including surgery, dermatology, impact biomechanics and forensic science. In this study, we have investigated the influence of location and ... -
Characteristic classes of complexified bundles
(Summer School in Algebraic Topology: Sheaf theoretic methods in the theory of characteristic classes, 2007)We examine the topological characteristic cohomology classes of complexified vector bundles . In particular, all the classes coming from real vector bundles are computed. We use characteristic classes with the ax-ioms of ... -
Characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator for multiple reference optical coherence tomography
(Optica, 2018-08-30)The characterization of an amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA) as a new axial scanning method for multiple-reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is described. MR-OCT is a compact optical imaging device based ... -
Characterization of an extendable multi-leaf collimator for clinical electron beams
(Institute of Physics, 2011)An extendable x-ray multi-leaf collimator (eMLC) is investigated for collimation of electron beams on a linear accelerator. The conventional method of collimation using an electron applicator is impractical for conformal, ... -
Characterization of Lysozyme PEGylation products using polarized Excitation Emission Matrix (pEEM) spectroscopy
(Wiley, 2020-07-07)The growing use of therapeutic proteins requires accurate measurement techniques for measuring biophysical and structural changes during manufacturing. This is particularly true for PEGylation of proteins, because ... -
Characterization of nanosensitive multifractality in submicron scale tissue morphology and its alteration in tumor progression
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2021-01-11)Significance: Assessment of disease using optical coherence tomography is an actively investigated problem, owing to many unresolved challenges in early disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment response monitoring. The ... -
Charophytes: evolutionary giants and emerging model organisms
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-10)Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet. Extant charophytes exhibit many features ... -
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 ... -
A chemical kinetic perspective on the low-temperature oxidation of propane/propene mixtures through experiments and kinetic analyses
(Elsevier, 2020-10-21)Our understanding of fuel oxidation has improved with rigorous experimental and theoretical investigations being performed in recent years. As investigation methods evolve, our understanding of fundamental fuel chemistry ... -
Chemical kinetics of hydrogen atom abstraction from allylic sites by 3O2; Implications for combustion modelling and simulation
(American Chemical Society, 2017-02-14)ABSTRACT: Hydrogen atom abstraction from allylic C−H bonds by molecular oxygen plays a very important role in determining the reactivity of fuel molecules having allylic hydrogen atoms. Rate constants for hydrogen atom ... -
