Catalytic potential of selected metal ions for bioleaching, and potential techno-economic and environmental issues: a critical review
(Elsevier, 2017-01-06)Bioleaching is considered to be a low-cost, eco-friendly technique for leaching valuable metals from a variety of matrixes. However, the inherent slow dissolution kinetics and low metal leaching yields have restricted its ... -
CEBus network access via the world-wide-web
(IEEE, 1996)Several methods of providing access to CEBus networks using the World Wide Web are described. Details of a working demonstration system are given. The system software incorporates CGI-Bin scripts and Java applets ... -
Cellular contractility and substrate elasticity: a numerical investigation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion
(Springer Verlag, 2013-06-18)Numerous experimental studies have established that cells can sense the stiffness of underlying substrates and have quantified the effect of substrate stiffness on stress fibre formation, focal adhesion area, cell traction, ... -
Champions in our midst: the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
(IEEE, 2016-01)In this issue, we are very proud to introduce you to one of the best-known early pioneers of the computer industry. His work on the early Apple computers catalyzed today's home computer industry, and he participated directly ... -
Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ... -
Characterization of separated pig manure composted with a variety of bulking agents at low initial C/N ratios
(2011)The aim of this study was to investigate the composting of separated pig manure solids with or without a variety of bulking agents at a low initial C/N ratio (12.5-23.3). Compost stability was investigated using an oxygen ... -
Chemical amendment of pig slurry: control of runoff related risks due to episodic rainfall events up to 48 hours after application.
(2013)Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses ... -
Classification of a Target Analyte in Solid Mixtures using Principal Component Analysis, Support Vector Machines and Raman Spectroscopy
(2005)The quantitative analysis of illicit materials using Raman spectroscopy is of widespread interest for law enforcement and healthcare applications. One of the difficulties faced when analysing illicit mixtures is the ... -
Cloud computing and consumer electronics: a perfect match or a hidden storm? [Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2012-04)Cloud computing has emerged strongly into the consumer domain. As industry competes to gain market share from the rapidly growing multitudes of cloud-IT users, both network and data center infrastructures will grow more ... -
Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ... -
Collaboration and enterprise networks: What about SMEs?
(2004)This paper describes the research and analysis realised in relation to the creation of enterprise networks, based on the networked enterprise model, in European SMEs. It focuses on the barriers to inter-firm collaboration ... -
A collaborative knowledge management tool for product innovation
(2000)In order to create and deliver innovative new products and services at an ever increasing rate, manufacturing enterprises must adopt a deliberate and systematic approach to managing the drivers of innovation. Managing the ... -
A collaborative knowledge management tool for product innovation management
(Inderscience Publishers, 2003)Contemporary business systems are becoming increasingly competitive. Faster and smarter technology, although imperative, is not enough to survive in dynamic environments. Modern enterprises must adopt a deliberate and ... -
Collaborative Virtual Environments to Support Communication and Community in Internet-Based Distance Education
(jite.org, 2002)In this paper we discuss the use of modern information and communication technologies for distance education (DE) purposes. We argue that current technologies and implementations do not adequately support the key concepts ... -
A combined approach to feature extraction for mouth characterization and tracking
(IEEE, 2009-02-10)A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin ... -
