The thermochemical conversion of biomass is potentially vital to meeting global demand for sustainable transport fuels so besides combustion; torrefaction, liquefaction, pyrolysis and gasification are reviewed. merits demerits these processes examples industrial applications evaluated, two promising avenues future development identified. upgrading via processing will depend on sector coupling, both within the energy with sectors such as food production. Owing environmental constraints need...
The lack of physiological parity between 2D cell culture and in vivo has led to the development more organotypic models, such as organoids. Organoid models have been developed for a number tissues, including liver. Current organoid protocols are characterized by reliance on extracellular matrices (ECMs), patterning culture, costly growth factors cellular diversity, structure, organization. hepatic generally simplistic composed hepatocytes or cholangiocytes, rendering them less...
Emulsion templating has been used to prepare highly porous polyHIPE materials by thiol–ene photoinitiated network formation. Commercially available multifunctional thiols and acrylates were formulated into water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) using an appropriate surfactant, the HIPEs photo-cured. The temperature of HIPE aqueous was found influence morphology resulting materials. In agreement with previous work, a higher (80 °C) gave rise larger mean void interconnect diameter....
Concentration polarization refers to the rapid emergence of concentration gradients at a membrane/solution interface resulting from selective transfer through membrane. It is distinguishable fouling in least two ways: (1) state molecules involved (in solution for polarization, although no longer fouling); and (2) by timescale, normally less than minute generally or more orders magnitude fouling. Thus phenomenon flux decline occurring over timescale tens minutes should not be attributed...
We demonstrate here the great versatility of macromonomer approach for synthesis long chain hyperbranched polymers (HyperMacs) and describe HyperMacs from polybutadiene poly(methyl methacrylate) using analogous yet modified synthetic strategies. Furthermore, we report synthesis, morphology, mechanical properties an entirely new class HyperMacs—HyperBlocks—prepared coupling polystyrene−polyisoprene−polystyrene triblock copolymer macromonomers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies...
Improper radial and axial depths of cut (DOC) during the milling process are one main causes machining defects such as overcutting chatter. A real-time DOC monitoring method is significant for improving efficiency quality. However, coupling effect on physical signals force vibration would deteriorate algorithm. Therefore, a hybrid data-driven model proposed to identify with multiple sensors, including force, vibration, current, noise. Firstly, experiments variables DOC, feed rate, spindle...
Abstract Polymer membranes with high permeability, salt rejection, and mechanical integrity are desirable in water treatment purification. However, it remains a daunting challenge to achieve ultrathin yet robust polymer harvesting all the above features for nanofiltration. Here, new approach of nano‐confined supramolecular assembly fabricate crystalline modulus 1 GPa thickness 6.5 nm is reported. The microdroplet carrying amphiphilic tetra‐oligomers can quickly spread at air–‐water...
First, it is shown that the effective thickness of membrane sum actual thickness, k0/UL, and λC/(UL) where k0 thermal conductivity matrix, λ latent vaporization water, C a parameter (defined as flux per unit temperature driving force), UL coefficient combining heat-transfer coefficients on feed side permeate film. For typical conditions, additional terms exceeds 100 μm, which clearly shows not inversely proportional to thickness. Also, first approximation, efficiency independent This work...
One of the most exciting recent directions in machine learning is discovery that combination multiple classifiers often results significantly better performance than what can be achieved with a single classifier. In this paper, we first show errors made from three different state art part speech taggers are strongly complementary. Next, how complementatry behavior used to our advantage. By using contextual cues guide tagger combination, able derive new achieves greater any individual taggers.
We present a mathematical (ordered pull-through; OPT) model of the cell-density profile for mammalian lens epithelium together with new experimental data. The is based upon dimensionless parameters, an important criterion inter-species comparisons where sizes can vary greatly (e.g. bovine (approx. 18 mm); mouse 2 mm)) and confirms that lenses scale size. validated includes two parameters: β / α , which ratio proliferation rate in peripheral central region lens; γ GZ pull-through parameter...
We describe a cohort of patients with high rate mid-term failure following Kinemax Plus total knee replacement inserted between 1998 and 2001. This implant has been recorded as having survival 96% at ten years. However, in our series the was 75% nine also significantly lower than that subsequent consecutive PFC Sigma replacements performed by same surgeon. No differences were found clinical radiological parameters two groups. At revision most striking finding polyethylene wear. An...
Abstract For ultrafiltration, and membrane filtration more generally, the quantitative determination of modes fouling remains a subject great interest.

The purpose of this study was to compare the wear zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) and femoral heads tested against as-cast CoCrMo alloy acetabular cups under both standard severe conditions. A new test, which included medio-lateral displacement head rim impact upon relocation, developed. This resulted in an area metal transfer increased on superior-anterior segment that were thought be due dislocation respectively. While all ceramic immeasurable using gravimetric method, rates for metallic...
