Molecular modelling of the Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6 capsular polysaccharide antigens by Mathai, Neann Sarah

“…The 6B saccharide has been included in the early conjugate vaccine (PCV-7), and has shown to elicit protection against the 6B as well as some cross-protection against 6A. 6A has since been included in the latter conjugate vaccines in the hopes of eliciting stronger protection against 6A and 6C. Molecular Dynamics simulations were used to investigate the conformations of oligosaccharides with the aim of elucidating a conformational rationale for why small changes in the carbohydrate primary structure result in variable efficacy. …”

Comparing the Metcalf and Eddy and UCT steady state guidelines for sizing of biological nutrient removal activated sludge wastewater treatment plants by Murphy, Katelyn

“…The systems that were sized using the steady state AS models were then input into an AS system dynamic simulation software program, UCTOLD (which predicts virtually identical results as ASM1), together with a full set of diurnal influent data, to predict the behaviour of the system under steady state and dynamic conditions and compare the steady state predictions to those calculated in the steady state models and assess how the steady state model sized systems perform under dynamic loading conditions. …”

Numerical study of film cooling influence on performance of transonic vane cascade by Alameldin, Ahmad M.

“…The new approach was validated on a basic flow problem (flat plate film cooling) and was found to give good agreement with experimental measurements of velocity and temperature at a blowing ratio (BR) of 1 and 2; the experimental data for the flat plate was provided by NASA's Glenn Research Center. The numerical simulation of the cooled vane cascade was compared to experimental measurements for different cooling configurations and different BRs. a) One row on pressure side at BR = 0.8, 0.96 and 2.5. b) Two rows on suction side (location 1) at BR = 0.8, 1.4 and 2.5. c) Two rows on suction side (location 2) at BR = 0.8. …”
