(2011-10-21)The sustainability and continued development of the chemical industry is to a large extent dependent on learning from past incidents. The failure to learn from past mistakes is rather not deliberate but due to unawareness ...
-
(2017-05-10)Candida glabrata (C. glabrata) is an emerging opportunistic human fungal pathogen with an increasing incidence as the cause of both mucosal and systemic infections. In addition, the fungus is the most commonly used ...
-
(2021-04-28)The sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has been a major barrier for advancing green hydrogen production from water splitting. Whilst the overwhelming majority of work has been devoted towards buffered pure water ...
-
(2013-07-24)Microbial-based industrial production has experienced a revolutionary development in the last decades as chemical industry has shifted its focus towards more sustain- able production of fuels, building blocks for materials, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Fluorescence enhanced optical tomography is a promising molecular imaging modality which employs a near infrared fluorescent molecule as an imaging agent and time-dependent measurements of fluorescent light propagation and ...
-
(2023-07-05)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is expected to escalate into a major crisis as bacterial infections become increasingly harder to treat. Some difficult-to-eradicate bacteria may be treated with multiple antibiotic drugs. ...
-
(2015-11-10)Investigations on the adsorption dynamics or interactions of nanomaterials at interfaces have enabled applying nanotechnologies in current industrial systems effectively. In this work, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and impacts ...
-
(2023-01-19)Incorporating nanofillers into organic coatings is an effective method of improving their long-term corrosion resistance. Due to their electrical insulation, hydrophobicity, and chemical inertness, boron nitride nanosheets ...
-
(2019-08-20)The advancement in technology and computational power has enabled large amounts of data collection in real time, which has initiated the "Big Data" era. Big data analytics is playing an essential role in academy, business ...
-
(2020-03-24)The effort to mimic a chemical plant’s operations or to design and operate a completely new technology in silico is a highly studied research field under process systems engineering. As the rising computation power allows ...
-
(2020-04-22)Intensifying public concern about climate change risks has accelerated the push for more tangible action in the transition toward low-carbon or carbon-neutral energy. Concurrently, the energy industry is also undergoing a ...
-
(2020-02-21)Model predictive control provides the optimal operation for chemical processes by explicitly accounting for the system, constraints, and costs. In an online setting, developing the implicit optimal control action under ...
-
(2020-02-24)The flammable and explosive hazards of aerosol, also referred as mist or spray, are usually ignored compared with the flammable and explosive hazards related to gas and dust. Numerous incidents in various industries have ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The primary objective of this dissertation is to introduce several algebraic procedures to the targeting of material recycle networks. The problem involves the allocation of process streams and fresh sources to process ...
-
Alkaline Chemical Stability and Ion Transport in Polymerized Ionic Liquid Anion Exchange Membranes (2016-05-10)Non-platinum (low-cost), long-lasting, solid-state alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) require anion exchange membranes (AEMs) that have high alkaline chemical stability, high hydroxide ion conductivity, and adequate mechanical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)n-channel and p-channel amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs) with copper electrodes prepared by a novel plasma etching process have been fabricated and studied. Their characteristics are similar to those ...
-
Energy consumption has become directly associated with buildings. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that buildings contribute by 30-40% of the worldwide energy consumption. The consumption of energy has ...
-
(2021-07-08)In this work, the developments of ENERGIA, a multi-scale energy systems transition modeling, optimization and scenario analysis framework and software prototype are presented. ENERGIA integrates (i) energy supply chain and ...
-
(2022-06-02)To improve biological digestibility, lignocellulose was pretreated by shock, alkali, and combinations thereof. Shock is most effective when it precedes alkaline pretreatment, presumably because it opens the biomass structure ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)In this work, 80% lime-treated rice straw and 20% lime-treated chicken manure were used as substrates in rotary fermentors. Countercurrent fermentation was performed at various volatile solid loading rates (VSLR) and liquid ...
