An analysis of subsidies within the plastics recycling industry by Black, David

“…Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used in the manufacture of food and beverage containers, in addition to a variety of fibres. PET is considered to be 100% recyclable and can be recycled into a number of different end-use streams: bottle-to-bottle; bottle-to-foodgrade, or bottle-to-fibre. …”

Rock fracture under static stress conditions by Hoek, Evert

“…Consequently, in designing deep level mining excavations and large civil engineering structures, an understanding of the mechanics of rock fracture, particularly under compressive stress conditions, is of fundamental importance. This thesis contains details of an investigation into the applicability of Griffith's brittle fracture theory, modified to account for the effects of crack closure in compression, to the prediction of rock fracture behaviour. …”

Analysis of a deep neural network for missing transverse momentum reconstruction in ATLAS by Leigh, Matthew

“…The network also provided the best discriminator between events that did and did not contain neutrinos. The potential gain insensitivity to new physics was demonstrated by using this network in a search for the electroweak production of supersymmetric particles. …”
