Shield tail grease is very important to the tightness and durability of shield tail structure,and the consumption is very large as well as the construction has been accelerated. At present the related indexes of shield tail seal grease has no uniform standards, in the actual construction process for shield tail seal g…
The design, modelling and optimisation of biofuel thermochemical processes are mainly based on the knowledge of reliable chemical kinetics. The determination of reaction kinetics of biomass at high heating rate still highly depends on the extrapolation of results from kinetic data determined at a comparatively low hea…

La investigación y el desarrollo de nuevas fuentes de energía es necesaria debido al crecimiento de demanda energética a nivel global. Una de estas fuentes de energía alternativas se basa en control y la explotación de la fusión nuclear, que podría convertirse en una opción real para producción energética a medio plaz…
Pollutants emissions and fuel economy tests for passenger cars differ from region to region of the world, since different driving condition and vehicle fleet characterize different geographical areas. In particular, the European type approval procedure for passenger cars uses as reference cycle the New European Drivin…
The goal of this Ph.D. research is to develop imaging systems for the multiple beam scanning electron microscope (MBSEM) built in Delft University of Technology. This thesis includes two imaging systems, transmission electron (TE) imaging system, and secondary electron (SE) imaging system. The major conclusions, key r…
Despite antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) still affect 40–70% of HIV-infected people. The pathogenesis of HAND is multi-factorial and poorly understood. Macroautophagy is a cellular self-digestion process with essential roles in defense against infection, aging, and neurodege…
A research programme on static and dynamic behaviour of reinforced concrete substructures against progressive collapse subjected to different loading rates, loading configurations, as well as structural types, was conducted. Based on numerical analyses, a semi-analytical approach was proposed to predict static respons…
Tumor pH can become an important consideration in diagnosis and choosing an effective therapy. Measuring pH currently requires invasive procedures or has problems with sensitivity. Previous methods for the measurement of pH by MRI are dependent on knowing the concentration of contrast agents or are useful at a limited…
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) is one of the most widely used polymers in packaging industry, due to its high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and barrier functions. However, its processing is determined by degradation and low viscosity. In particular, foaming and film blowing is restricted by the linear struct…
We have developed a non-invasive technique utilizing polarized Raman spectroscopy to measure changes in carbon nanotube (CNT) alignment in situ and in real time in a polymer matrix. With this technique, we have confirmed the prediction of faster alignment for CNTs in higher electric fields. Real-time polarized Raman s…
The application of nanotechnology to the petroleum industry has seen many recent advancements. Nanocellulose is an emerging nanoparticle at the forefront of research. Before nanocellulose can be injected into petroleum reservoirs, further understanding is needed as to the retention mechanisms that occur during nanocel…
In this dissertation, I develop a phase-field approach to minimising a geometric energy functional in the class of connected structures confined to a small container. The functional under consideration is Willmore's energy, which depends on the mean curvature and area measure of a surface and thus allows for a formula…
One of the challenges in gas turbines is in the reduction of NOx and CO emissions due to simultaneous dependence on stringent emission norms and subsequent demand for change in operating conditions. To cater the volatile demand of power supply, most of the gas turbines have to be flexible to changing loads. Closer the…
The focus of this PhD project is the functional and molecular diversity of Leptocylindraceae diatom species, the study of which can lead to a better understanding of long standing questions regarding the ecology and evolution of phytoplankton. A wide range of tools, spanning from microscopical observations and physiol…
Nuclear gloveboxes provide a physical barrier between workers and harmful materials. Breaches in gloveboxes may result in lab contamination or even internal uptakes of toxic materials. Such incidents result in both man hours wasted and hazardous working conditions. Therefore, a premium must be set on limiting glovebox…
Interest in utilizing advanced lean-burn gasoline and diesel engines has increased in the last decades due to their reduced greenhouse gas emissions and increased fuel economy. One impediment to the increasing use of these engines, however, is the need to develop corresponding catalytic systems for controlling polluta…
We consider ground states of quantum spin chains with symmetry-protected topological (SPT) order as resources for measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC). Using tensor network methods, we show that SPT phases protected by a finite abelian on-site symmetry group exhibit uniform computational power. That is, any st…
