Correction for 'Key role of surface oxidation and reduction processes in the coarsening of Pt nanoparticles' by Eduardo Solano et al., Nanoscale, 2017, 9, 13159-13170.
Due to the enormous economic value and significance of cellulose in human consumption and plant cell walls, production of cellulose microfibrils is considered to be one of the most critical biochemical processes in plant biology. In the past decades, cellulose biosynthesis has been extensively studied in vascular plan…
Reads are deposited in NCBI: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/?term=SRS725006 - Assembly in-home BGI to obtain Unigene (contigs)- ORF prediction using TransDecoder (Trinity plugin) and PfamScan to obtain coding sequences (CDS files) from transcripts (mRNA)- Protein translations are included (pep) - clean.fasta: Assemb…
First Mirrors (FMs) will play a crucial role in optical diagnostic systems of future fusion devices like the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Unlike today's tokamaks, forthcoming reactors are expected to produce a high level of radiations and neutrons, preventing the use of common optical compo…
In this thesis, we investigate how compensated as well as uncompensated antiferromagnetic interfaces can be modelled in the open source software package MuMax3, which has been developed within our own research group DyNaMat and is predominantly used to study static and dynamic effects in ferromagnets. This implementat…
This thesis was a step forward in the development of an effective and patient-specific treatment for bone tissue loss using synthetic tissue engineered constructs. A novel polycaprolactone/strontium-substituted bioactive glass composite was fabricated into scaffolds with highly ordered fibre structure and promising os…
Medium chain length-PHAs (MCL-PHAs) have properties that make them exceptional for applications in cardiac tissue engineering. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major cause of death worldwide. Cardiac patches aim to facilitate the normal functioning of the heart muscle by providing repair and support to the infarcte…
Crown ether complexes of sodium and potassium 2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)phenolates were synthesized and characterized. In the presence of BnOH these complexes are highly active catalysts for the controlled ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. The polymerizations are iso-selective and the Pm of polylactide reached 0.…
With increasing number of vehicles around the globe, one of the current focus of automotive industry has been vehicle safety. Modern technical advancements in computation field has led to extensive improvements in crash simulation. Spot welds, despite being relatively small in size, contributes hugely to vehicle safet…
The present dissertation seeks to better understand the nature of biphasic poly(urethane-urea) (PUU) interactions in materials with densely packed, aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Of particular interest are the CNT-matrix interactions with in-situ polymerized PUU of various stoichiometric ratios. A novel synthesis me…
Hydraulic design of pressurized water distribution networks constitutes a time consuming process in engineering applications, requiring proper selection of pipe diameters so certain regulatory constrains are met. UPStream® is an open-source software, which combines EPANET's computational engine and a simple hydraulic…
The abilities to crystalize of a globular protein and to solve its crystal structure seem to represent triumph of the lock-and-key model of protein functionality, where the presence of unique 3D structure resembling aperiodic crystal is considered as a prerequisite for a given protein to possess specific biologic acti…
Cobalt rhenium ammonia synthesis catalysts which are highly active at ambient pressure and 400°C under N2/H2 (1:3) have been prepared without an ammonolysis step. For all highly active cobalt rhenium materials the post-reaction powder XRD patterns reveal there is a shift of their Re reflections to a slightly higher 2θ…
ReziumėDisertacijoje nagrinėjamos modifikuotos standžiosios poliuretano putos iš biopoliolių, kurių struktūros ir savybių keitimui naudojamos termiškai ir chemiškai apdorotos popieriaus gamybos atliekų dumblo dalelės
Aluminum alloy castings are being integrated increasingly into automotive and aerospace assemblies due to their extraordinary properties, especially high strength-to-density ratio. To produce high quality castings, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms of the formation of defects, specifically pores and inclusi…
This report investigates the deposition of carbon from natural gas onto manganese ore and the effect of reduction of the higher manganese oxides. Manganese ore has been heated in an argon atmosphere, before methane was purged through the ore. To distinguish the reduction caused by heat and methane, experiments where m…
The production and crystallization of amorphous iron-carbon alloys has been investigated experimentally. A physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique has been developed at UBC to create films with a variety of carbon contents. A system using controlled flow of reactive gas has been developed to allow the variation of…
When wood becomes wet and then dries, restraint of shrinkage at the surface of wood by wetter surface and also sub-surface layers causes tensile stresses to develop resulting in micro-checking. Wood elements in composites such as oriented strand board (OSB) also swell and shrink when they become wet and dry. Furthermo…
Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is a nodular cast iron, which has undergone a special heat treatment consisting of austenitisation, quenching and isothermal austempering.The ADI microstructure consists of ferrite platelets, carbon enriched austenite and graphite.At room temperature the austenite is metastable and can t…
Titanium alloys are used in a variety of important naval and aerospace applications and often undergo thermomechanical processing which leads to recrystallization and grain growth. Both of these processes have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the material. Therefore, understanding the kinetics of t…
