Synthesis of linear aliphatic polycarbonate macroglycols using dimethylcarbonate.
(Wiley, 2009-01-05)
A series of linear aliphatic polycarbonate polyols were synthesized using dimethylcarbonate and a linear alkane diol or specific combinations of linear alkane diols. Polyol synthesis was carried out in a two‐stage process ...
The understated value of freehand sketching in technology education.
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2009)
As education plays such a vital role in economic competitiveness, it is no surprise that the focus for many governments is to invest in educational initiatives. Innovation in pedagogy, refined curriculum and much research ...
Investigation of critical inter-related factors affecting the efficacy of pulsed light for inactivating clinically relevant bacterial pathogens
(Wiley, 2009-08)
Aims: To investigate critical electrical and biological factors governing the efficacy of pulsed light (PL) for the in vitro inactivation of bacteria isolated from the clinical environment. Development of this alternative ...
Studies on the inactivation of medically important Candida species on agar surfaces using pulsed light.
(2009-07)
Development of a pulsed-light (PL) approach to inanimate surface decontamination
is timely, as the incidence of yeast-related infections in healthcare remains
unacceptably high. Critical electrical and biological factors ...
Accelerated solvent based extraction and enrichment of selected plasticisers and 4-nonylphenol, and extraction of tin from organotin sources in sediments, sludges and leachate soils.
(Elsevier, 2009-02-23)
Enrichment techniques have become an important feature in the trace analysis of oestrogen mimicking chemicals in the environment. Recent developments such as accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have improved extraction ...
Vertical crowd load models for vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges
(Civil-Comp Press, 2009)
Most pedestrian load models prescribed in existing design codes of practice do not
consider any interaction between the pedestrian and the moving structure. However,
it is now widely accepted that this interaction is ...
Studies on the susceptibility of different culture morphotypes of Listeria monocytogenes to uptake and survival in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009-09)
This study demonstrated that atypical virulent filaments of Listeria monocytogenes
(rough variant type II and designated FR for this study), isolated from clinical
specimens or generated during exposure to pulsed-plasma ...
Analysis of bio-obtainable endocrine disrupting metals in river water and sediment, sewage influent/effluent, sludge, leachate, and concentrated leachate, in the Irish Midlands Shannon catchment.
(Hindawi, 2009-12)
The application of an acid digestion and subsequent solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure were implemented as preliminary
treatments prior to quantifying the levels of potentially endocrine disrupting metals (EDMs) in a ...
A note on the use of FTA™ technology for storage of blood samples for DNA analysis and removal of PCR inhibitors
(Sciendo, 2009-01)
FTA™ technology is widely used across many molecular disciplines for sample
capture, storage and analysis. The use of this technology for the long-term storage
of blood samples for DNA analysis was examined as well as ...
