New Polymers from Biomass-Derived Hydroxycinnamic Acid Derivatives

Ghezae Tekleab

Polymers play a central role in shaping our world across various fields, but their heavy reliance on petrochemicals poses climate change, environmental and health risks. To address and alleviate these issues, transitioning to sustainable polymers, sourced ...

High-speed turbocompressors for natural fluid heat-pumps: from integrated design to digital-twin.

Luis Eric Olmedo Ocampo

Compressors for commercial and industrial heat-pumps in the 100kW-load range are currentlydominated by positive displacementmachines. In the context of refrigerant phaseouts andchanging regulations, natural refrigerants are seen as a compelling alternative ...

Influence of water on deformation and failure of gypsum rock

Alexandra Roma Larisa Kushnir

While water is known to significantly reduce the strength of rocks, there remains a paucity of data on water-weakening of gypsum. Here, we quantify water-weakening in a natural gypsum facies from Monferrato (Italy) by performing experiments on nominally dr ...

Differentiation between benign and malignant vertebral compression fractures using qualitative and quantitative analysis of a single fast spin echo T2-weighted Dixon sequence

Tom Hilbert, Sébastien Bacher

Objectives To determine and compare the qualitative and quantitative diagnostic performance of a single sagittal fast spin echo (FSE) T2-weighted Dixon sequence in differentiating benign and malignant vertebral compression fractures (VCF), using multiple r ...

A Closing Window of Opportunity to Save a Unique Marine Ecosystem

Anders Meibom, Maoz Fine

Five years in the making, a massive oil spill of 1 million barrels is imminent in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. Emergent action must be taken by the United Nations and its International Maritime Organization (IMO) to remove the oil, despite regional ...

Material Characterization with PZE actuated Suspended Microchannel Resonators

Rebecca Camilla Leghziel

SMRs have been used in numerous applications for life science where most samples are contained in liquid. In this work we investigate how a biological medium, such as phosphate buffer solution (PBS), affects the Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) of PZE actuated ...

Chapter 6: Production and Applications of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran, Ummalyma Sabeela Beevi

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are key molecules for the control of human as well as animal health. Among the PUFAs, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are vital compounds for infant brain development and other immune regulator ...

Environmental degradation of fracture resistance in high-temperature water environments of low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels with high sulphur or phosphorus contents

Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert, Zaiqing Que

The fracture behaviour of low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels with various sulphur and phosphorus contents, different environmentally-assisted cracking (EAC) and temper embrittlement (TE) susceptibilities was evaluated by elastic plastic fracture mech ...

Design and Experimental Realization of a Steam-Driven Micro Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Patrick Hubert Wagner

The Laboratory for Applied Mechanical Design (LAMD) designed, manufactured, and experimentally tested a novel steam-driven anode off-gas recirculation (AOR) fan for 10 kWel solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems. Due to the dynamic steam-lubricated bearings, ...

Drivers of soil carbon stabilization in oil palm plantations

Alexandre Buttler, Thomas Guillaume, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Juan Carlos Quezada Rivera, Johanna Katharina Rüegg

Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in agroecosystems is necessary to mitigate climate change and soil degradation. Management practices designed to reach this goal call for a deeper understanding of the processes and drivers of soil carbon input stabiliz ...
