Optimizing nitrate removal and evaluating pollution swapping trade-offs from laboratory denitrification bioreactors
(Elsevier, 2014-10-29)Denitrification bioreactors, typically containing woodchips, are artificial sinks used to remediate nitrate (NO3-) losses on agricultural landscapes. Analysis of these bioreactors frequently considers their efficacy in ... -
The optional prisoner's dilemma in a spatial environment: Co-evolving game strategy and link weights
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)In this paper, the Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma game in a spatial environment, with coevolutionary rules for both the strategy and network links between agents, is studied. Using a Monte Carlo simulation approach, a number ... -
Organizational context and the IS implementation process: an integrated research framework
(2000)Good IS managers have an intuitive grasp of the complex organizational and project dynamics required for successful implementation of large information systems. Years of hard-earned experience have taught them that IS ... -
Osteocyte differentiation and the formation of an interconnected cellular network in vitro
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2016-05-26)Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness and cell density can regulate osteoblast differentiation in two dimensional environments. However, it is not yet known how osteoblast-osteocyte differentiation is regulated within a 3D ... -
Osteocyte differentiation is regulated by extracellular matrix stiffness and intercellular separation
(Elsevier, 2013-07-18)Osteocytes are terminally differentiated bone cells, derived from osteoblasts, which are vital for regulation of bone formation and resorption. ECM stiffness and cell seeding density have been shown to regulate osteoblast ... -
Osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells is regulated by osteocyte and osteoblast cells in a simplified bone niche
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2012)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within their native environment of the stem cell niche in bone receive biochemical stimuli from surrounding cells. These stimuli likely influence how MSCs differentiate to become bone precursors. ... -
Overview of the regulation of medical devices and drugs in the European Union and the United States
(SAGE Publications, 2013-08-06)This article provides an overview of the regulation of medical devices and drugs in the European Union and the US. It is important for all stakeholders involved in bringing a medical device or drugs to market to have an ... -
Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700 °C, Part I: Literature Review
(Wiley, 2005-02-04)In the first part of this paper the results of a literature review are presented. An overview of the oxidation behaviour in air and in combustion environments of both pure MoSi2 and MoSi2 composites in the temperature range ... -
Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700°C
(Wiley, 2005-04-04)The topic Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700°C is discussed in a three part publication. In the first part of this paper a literature survey on the oxidation ... -
Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700°C. Part II: Initial screening of the oxidation behaviour of MoSi2 composites
(Wiley, 2005-03-01)In the first part of this paper a literature survey on the oxidation behaviour of MoSi2 and MoSi2 composites has been given. The present second part reports about the experimental results from oxidation tests with ... -
P-PAC (partnership in pedagogy, accreditation and collaboration): a framework to support student transition to emplyability in industry. A lean systems case study
(Production Engineering Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Polish Association for Production Management, 2018-12)The global economic crisis of the past decade and the accruing shifts in labour market policy, coupled with the rapid advances in technology have resulted in a far less certain future employment horizon than ever before ... -
Packaging environmental impact on seafood supply chains: A review of life cycle assessment studies
(Wiley, 2021-08-24)Packaging is fundamental for food preservation and transportation but generates an environmental burden from its production and end-of-life management. This review evaluates packaging contribution to the environmental ... -
Parameterization of turbulence models using 3DVAR data
(City University of New York, 2014-01-08)In this research the 3DVAR data assimilation scheme is implemented in the numerical model DIVAST in order to optimize the performance of the numerical model by selecting an appropriate turbulence scheme and tuning its ... -
Particle swarm optimisation with gradually increasing directed neighbourhoods
(Association for Computing Machiner, 2011)Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is an intelligent random search algorithm, and the key to success is to effectively balance between the exploration of the solution space in the early stages and the exploitation of the ... -
Particle transport velocity correction for complex boundaries in the Finite Volume Particle Method
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)Particle methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and the finite volume particle method (FVPM) can suffer from strongly non-uniform and anisotropic particle distributions when purely Lagrangian particle ... -
