Investigations about the Chemistry of Tetraarylethene- and Iridium-Based Luminophores

The work described in this thesis focuses on two classes of luminophores: tetraarylethene-based polymers and Ir(III) complexes with orthometalated ligands. Tetraarylethene-based polymers show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and they are of interest for ...

Parametric study of soil abrasivity for predicting wear issue in TBM tunneling projects

Jian Zhao

The lack of reliable methods for evaluation of soil abrasivity and revealing the effects of different parameters on wear rate are nowadays considered as a deficiency in geotechnical investigation during feasibility study, design and construction phases of ...

Long-term pan evaporation observations as a resource to understand the water cycle trend: case studies from Australia

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Acceleration of the global water cycle over recent decades remains uncertain because of the high inter-annual variability of its components. Observations of pan evaporation (E-pan), a proxy of potential evapotranspiration (ETp), may help to identify trends ...
