This study reports the use of hypotonic osmotic shock as a treatment step to enhance the recoveries of biofuel-convertible lipids and proteins from lipid-rich saltwater Nannochloropsis gaditana (N. gaditana) slurries (biomass content = ~140 mg biomass / g slurry, total ...

The energy performance of a building is affected by the periodic thermal properties of the walls, and reliable methods of characterising these are therefore required. However, the methods that are currently available involve theoretical calculations that make it difficu...

Abstract The ECCO-MATE Project is a European Union funded project aimed to develop a synergistic framework for cutting edge research on novel engine technologies for higher energy efficiency and lower emissions. The project partners, Ricardo plc, an engineering consulti...

Abstract The particle motion in flighted rotating drums (FRD) is still not fully understood due to the many influencing variables and its complexity. The method of Magnetic Particle Tracking (MPT) offers new possibilities for this purpose. In this work, the MPT is adopt...

Abstract One-dimensional porous carbons bearing high surface areas and sufficient heteroatom doped functionalities are essential for advanced electrochemical energy storage devices, especially for developing freestanding film electrodes. Here we develop a porous, nitrog...

Accepted manuscript version, licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. The P-Cable technology is an acquisition principle for high-resolution and ultra-high-resolution 3D seismic data. Many 3D seismic datasets have been acquired over the last decade, but the application in time-lapse...

Spray-drying is proposed in this work as the technique to produce konjac glucomannan microparticles aimed at an application in lung tuberculosis therapy. Microparticles were developed to provide direct lung delivery of an association of two first-line antitubercular dru...

Abstract CO2 storage in fractured reservoirs may lead to fast CO2 flow through interconnected fracture networks; but the role of isolated fractures on brine-CO2 multiphase flow systems remains unclear. We present the results of a brine-CO2 flow-through experiment in whi...

AbstractKey performance indicators for characterization of nanofiltration performance are well developed, similar key performance indicators for electrodialysis reversal are however underdeveloped. Under the E4Water project Dow Benelux BV and Evides Industriewater BV op...

We propose that the source water for some abyssal undular vortices cored by cool, low-salinity water identified at depths in excess of 2,500 m in the deepwater region of the Eastern Mediterranean Basin may be related to conversion of natural gas hydrate (NGH) in abyssal...
