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 ... -
Quantitative analysis of cocaine in solid mixtures using Raman spectroscopy and chemometric methods
(Wiley, 2000-04-27)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 ... -
Quantitative analysis of weakly bound insulin oligomers in solution using polarized multidimensional fluorescence spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2020-09-08)Being able to measure the size and distribution of oligomers in solution is a critical issue in the manufacture and stability of insulin and other protein formulations. Measuring oligomers reliably can however be complicated, ... -
Quantitative geometric description of fracture systems in an andesite lava flow using terrestrial laser scanner data
(Elsevier, 2017-06-03)Permeability hosted in andesitic lava flows is dominantly controlled by fracture systems, with geometries that are often poorly constrained. This paper explores the fracture system geometry of an andesitic lava flow formed ... -
Quantitative polymorph contaminant analysis in tablets using Raman and near infra-red spectroscopies
(2013)The detection and quantification of alternate polymorphs of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly at low concentrations is a key issue for the manufacture and analysis of solid-state formulations. Each ... -
Quenched-annealed density functional theory for interfacial behavior of hard rods at a hard rod matrix
(AIP Publishing, 2009)We consider a system of mobile hard rods that are immersed in an isotropic matrix of hard rods with quenched positions and orientations. Using quenched-annealed density functional theory the disorder-averaged excess free ... -
A quiver presentation for Solomon's descent algebra
(Elsvier, 2009)The descent algebra S(W) is a subalgebra of the group algebra of a finite Coxeter group W, which supports a homomorphism with nilpotent kernel and commutative image in the character ring of W. Thus S(W) is a basic algebra, ... -
Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy
(2009)The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particles to energies exceeding 10^12 electron ... -
