A Rich-Catalytic Lean-burn (RCL®) combustion system was developed for operation on natural gas, but also provides significant advantages for fuel-flexible operation on non-methane fuels.
A simple, low-cost solar water heater has been developed for operation in Mediterranean Europe or regions of similar latitude (40 45° north).
An electrostatic variable energy positron beam for studying defects in ceramic coatings, polymer films and MOS-devices is developed for operation in Doppler-broadening (DB) and positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) modes.
A novel isothermal solidification furnace (XRMON-SOL) has been developed for operation under terrestrial and microgravity conditions, using aluminium-based alloys, in conjunction with real-time in situ X-radiography.
To increase the strength and reliability of the interface between the W and the cooling tube of a Cu-based alloy (CuCr1Zr), a novel advanced W-fibre/Cu metal matrix composite (MMC) was developed for operation temperatures up to 550 °C.
Current efforts are focused on adapting the system developed for operation in pulse-echo mode; this would allow examination and diagnosis of bones with limited access such as hip bone.
In this study, an integrated flowsheet model of the dry granulation process was developed for unit operations of powder feeding, roller compaction and milling with gSOLIDS (PSE Enterprise, UK) and tested against experimental data.
The continuous approximation models are developed for airline operations in restricted and unrestricted single-hub systems.
Here, we describe novel clinical pathways developed for endocrine operations (ie, unilateral thyroid lobectomy, total thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy) and evaluate their effects on economic end points at a major academic hospital.
The design of the rigs is described as well as test methodologies developed for their operation.
