Systematic investigation of potential factors that affect the production costs of the bio-based and bio-degradable plastic polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by a costing analysis based... by Rumjeet, Shilpa

“…Factors that have been reported to affect the production costs of PHAs are the PHA content and concentration achieved by the microorganism, the purification and recovery process of PHAs together with the type of carbon substrate used. Additionally, the efficiency of the cell disruption and energy required for the washing steps can also influence the production system and are addressed in this study along with the other factors. …”

A Higher-Order VOF Interface Reconstruction Scheme for Non-Orthogonal Structured Grids - with Application to Surface Tension Modelling by Ilangakoon, Niran A

“…Columns of control volumes that straddle the interface are identified, and piecewise-linear interface constructions (PLIC) are computed in a volume-conservative manner in each column. To ensure efficiency, this procedure is executed by a novel sweep-plane algorithm based on the convex decomposition of the control volumes in each column. …”

Melanocyte proliferation in wounded skin in vitro: a histological and immunohistochemical analysis by Petersen, Morea

“…In order to effect successful wound healing by restoration of effective skin barrier function, keratinocytes must proliferate and migrate to cover the gap created by the wound in an efficient and timeous manner. Melanocytes are not thought to actively participate in wound repair and closure, since they are primarily responsible for maintenance of normal skin pigmentation. …”

Probing the role of environment and HI content in galaxy evolution: a multi-wavelength study of isolated and paired galaxies by Bok, Jamie

“…What my thesis shows is that although we have a plethora of data available (and coming), the key is to optimise how we use it, both in the questions we pose, and in understanding its limitations. …”
