Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) modelling of dislocation creep in 9-12% Cr creep resistant steels by Stracey, Muhammad Ghalib

“…Upon further investigation, it was hypothesised that the discrepancy observed was due to the formation of the Modified Z-phase in some of the long term creep data but not in others which was based primarily on the differing creep exposure times of the various samples. The CDM creep-time predictions for P92 were found to be accurate when compared with experimental results regardless of creep exposure times. …”

Investigating the air and liquid porosity of sea ice by Swait, Hayley

“…In this study, non-destructive X-ray computer tomography (CT) analysis was used to investigate the brine and air inclusions within pancake ice from the Antarctic MIZ during winter 2019 and 2022 expeditions. Sampling protocols from the 2019 expedition were optimised during the 2022 expedition to store samples at the CT analysis temperature (-10°C) to minimise the impact of low temperature (-18°C) storage on these inclusions. …”

Evaluating the use of capillary electrophoresis in the forensic DNA profiling of burnt teeth by Geldenhuys, Adriaan

“…The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the success of capillary electrophoresis in the forensic DNA profiling of teeth burnt at different temperatures, using an optimised DNA extraction protocol. Tooth samples from 25 donors (n = 100 [4 teeth per donor]) were subjected to three burning conditions, one tooth was left unburnt to act as a control and three teeth were each burnt in a muffle furnace at 100 ˚C, 200 ˚C, and 300 ˚C. …”
