The oil production from well fractured carbonate reservoirs is a considerable part of the total oil production in the world. The petroleum resource base in naturally fractured reservoirs is estimated to be in the range of ...

The recovery of organometallic catalysts from polymer matrices is of great importance in promoting the application of homogeneous catalysts in industry. Such a green recovery technique will not only popularize the techniques ...

Composites are combinations of mainly two different components: the matrix and the filler/reinforcement. In the thermoplastic composites industry, natural fibers from agricultural crops have been emerged as alternative ...

This project is aimed at developing and demonstrating highly conductive, lightweight, and low-cost thermoplastic blends to be used as flow field bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. <br><br> ...

Seeding is an important variable in controlling or directing the assembly of peptides. The presence of impurities, responsible for creating a 'dip' in the surface tension versus peptide concentration profile, is used to ...

An experimental and modelling investigation of a tetrafunctional initiator designed for free radical polymerizations is presented. Multifunctional initiators are believed to provide two advantages over traditional ...

Many industrial processes handling organic solvents produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These VOCs not only cause environmental pollution, but also represent an economic loss. VOC removal and recovery have ...

A novel adaptive controller, suitable for linear and non-linear systems was developed. The controller is a discrete algorithm suitable for computer implementation and is based on gradient descent adaptation rules. ...

Computational models of recombinant production of tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (tPA) were created, studied and compared for two hosts, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)cells and Escherichia coli (E. coli), using SuperPro® ...

The direct catalytic hydrogenation of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) in latex form was studied as a model system for the development of a new latex hydrogenation process for the modification of unsaturated diene-based ...
