Fermentation of biomass-generated synthesis gas: Effects of nitric oxide (2006)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., & Lewis, R. S. (2007). Fermentation of biomass-generated synthesis gas: Effects of nitric oxide. Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 97(5), 1080-1086. https://doi.org/10.1002/bit.21305

The production of renewable fuels, such as ethanol, has been steadily increasing owing to the need for a reduced dependency on fossil fuels. It was demonstrated previously that biomass-generated synthesis gas (biomass-syngas) can be converted to etha...

Metallic fabric jackets: an innovative method for seismic retrofitting of substandard RC prismatic members (2006)
Journal Article
Thermou, G., & Pantazopoulou, S. (2007). Metallic fabric jackets: an innovative method for seismic retrofitting of substandard RC prismatic members. Structural Concrete, 8(1), 35-46. doi:10.1680/stco.2007.8.1.35

This paper presents the results of a recent experimental research study where metallic (high-strength steel cord) fabric jackets (MF jackets) were utilised for the seismic upgrading of substandard reinforced concrete members. The proposed interventio... Read More about Metallic fabric jackets: an innovative method for seismic retrofitting of substandard RC prismatic members.

Study of aero-engine oil-air separators (2006)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Simmons, K., Eastwick, C., & Hibberd, S. (2006). Study of aero-engine oil-air separators. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 220(7), https://doi.org/10.1243/09576509JPE116

For aero-engines, oil-air separation is a key function, and one approach to assessing separator effectiveness is computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The two-phase flow is complex and oil can be present in different forms (for example, droplets, mist,... Read More about Study of aero-engine oil-air separators.

Application of airborne LiDAR to mapping seismogenic faults in forested mountainous terrain, southeastern Alps, Slovenia (2006)
Journal Article
Cunningham, D., Grebby, S., Tansey, K., Gosar, A., & Kastelic, V. (2006). Application of airborne LiDAR to mapping seismogenic faults in forested mountainous terrain, southeastern Alps, Slovenia. Geophysical Research Letters, 30(20), Article L20308. https://doi.org/10.1029/2006GL027014

Results are presented of the first airborne LiDAR survey ever flown in Europe for the purpose of mapping the surface expression of earthquake-prone faults. Detailed topographic images derived from LiDAR data of the Idrija and Ravne strike-slip faults...

Inhibition of metal dusting using thermal spray coatings and laser treatment (2006)
Journal Article
Voisey, K., Liu, Z., & Stott, F. (2006). Inhibition of metal dusting using thermal spray coatings and laser treatment. Surface and Coatings Technology, 201(3-4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2005.12.020

Alloy 600 and Alloy 800H are susceptible to metal dusting. Both alloys were thermally sprayed with two different corrosion resistant coatings: Ni50Cr and Ni31Cr11Al0.6Y. Laser remelting was used to enhance further the effectiveness of these coatings... Read More about Inhibition of metal dusting using thermal spray coatings and laser treatment.

The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc (2006)
Journal Article
Munro, R. J., & Davies, P. (2006). The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc. Fluid Dynamics Research, 38(8), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fluiddyn.2006.03.002

Results are presented from a modelling investigation into the response of a rotating, linearly stratified fluid to local forcing induced by a differentially rotating smooth, horizontal disc. Attention was directed at cases in which the disc forcing i... Read More about The flow generated in a continuously stratified rotating fluid by the differential rotation of a plane horizontal disc.

Effects of biomass-generated producer gas constituents on cell growth, product distribution and hydrogenase activity of Clostridium carboxidivorans P7T (2006)
Journal Article
Ahmed, A., Cateni, B. G., Huhnke, R. L., & Lewis, R. S. (2006). Effects of biomass-generated producer gas constituents on cell growth, product distribution and hydrogenase activity of Clostridium carboxidivorans P7T. Biomass and Bioenergy, 30(7), 665-672. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2006.01.007

In our previous work, we demonstrated that biomass-generated producer gas can be converted to ethanol and acetic acid using a microbial catalyst Clostridium carboxidivorans P7T. Results showed that the producer gas (1) induced cell dormancy, (2) inhi...

Inhibition of metal dusting of alloy 800H by laser surface melting (2006)
Journal Article
Voisey, K., Liu, Z., & Stott, F. (2006). Inhibition of metal dusting of alloy 800H by laser surface melting. Applied Surface Science, 252(10), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2005.05.040

Metal dusting is a catastrophic carburisation phenomenon that occurs at temperatures of 450-850°C in atmospheres of high carbon activity. The resistance of alloys to corrosion, including metal dusting, relies on the formation of a dense, adherent oxi...
