Submerged, recirculating jets: Flow regimes in the mixing of municipal slugde...
Inadequate mixing of anaerobic digesters in wastewater treatment results in less than optimal biogas production and solids settling, which leads to costly shut-downs and cleaning. This study uses a...
View ArticleSolid-liquid mass transfer in an agitated ion exchange vessel fitted with...
Solid-liquid mixing in agitated vessels are widely utilised in industry where there has been a demand for process intensification. It has been shown that the impeller power required per unit mass solid...

This paper introduces an Australian Research Council research project currently being undertaken at the remote Aboriginal community of Papunya in the Northern Territory. The project, led by Barry Judd...
View ArticleDistributed adaptive control for synchronization in directed complex networks
The dynamics of a complex network is generally very complicated due to the selfdynamics of the node and their interactions. Many existing conditions for reaching certain desirable dynamics in a complex...
View ArticleComment on "The self-care of psychologists and mental health professionals"...
It has been known for many decades that the risk of burnout, psychological distress, mental illness, or suicidal ideation is higher in mental healthprofessionals (MHP) compared with many other...
View ArticleSpatial abundance patterns and recruitment of a virus-affected commercial...
Infectious pathogens figure prominently among those factors threatening marine wildlife. Mass mortality events caused by pathogens can fundamentally alter the structure of wild fish stocks and depress...
View ArticleDiscovering Razi acceleration in multiple rotating coordinate frames system
This paper outlines the procedure of calculating inertial acceleration in a kinematic system involving more than two relatively rotating coordinate frames. The equation of relative motion between two...
View ArticleAntibiotic regimen based on population analysis of residing persister cells...
Biofilm formation is a major pathogenicity strategy of Staphylococcus epidermidis causing various medical-device infections. Persister cells have been implicated in treatment failure of such...
View ArticleDiet-induced obesity causes ghrelin resistance in reward processing tasks
Diet-induced obesity (DIO) causes ghrelin resistance in hypothalamic Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons. However, ghrelin promotes feeding through actions at both the hypothalamus and mesolimbic...
View ArticleFrom Wangba Back to Wangka: Ruination and Renewal of the Chinese Internet Café
This paper takes a particular angle that begins with the drastic decline of internet cafés in China and their receding yet still evolving presence. This project aims at delineating the history of...
View ArticleDynamic configuration of reduced graphene oxide in aqueous dispersion and its...
The dynamic configuration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in an aqueous dispersion is revealed by several characterization methods, showing a spontaneous and seemingly irreversible configuration...
View ArticleAn analysis of involuntary excess reserves, monetary policy and risk-taking...
In this paper, we examine the effects of monetary policy on the risk-taking behaviour of Chinese banks in the presence of involuntary excess reserves based on a sample of 95 banks. We find that...
View ArticleReliability analysis of moment redistribution in reinforced concrete beams
Design codes allow a limited amount of moment redistribution in continuous reinforced concrete beams and often make use of lower bound values in the procedure for estimating the moment redistribution...
View ArticleWhy the war on drugs in sport will never be won
Recent exposes of drug use in sports suggest that doping might be more problematic than doping-control test results reveal. A zero-tolerance (ZT) model, which aims to eliminate the use, has dominated...
View ArticlePicosatellites for maritime security applications - the Lambdasat case
This study explores the potential deployment of small satellites for maritime interdiction and security applications by investigating the available solutions and formulating a generic proposal to...
View ArticleQuantisation effect on zero-order-holder discretisation of multi-input...
This study investigates the quantisation effect on dynamical behaviours of the zero-order-holder discretisation of multi-input sliding-mode control systems with matched uncertainties. The quasi-sliding...
View ArticleStructural transformation of implanted diamond layers during high temperature...
In the recent years graphitization of ion-beam induced amorphous layers became the basic tool for device fabrication in diamond. The etchable graphitic layers can be removed to form free-standing...
View ArticleA highly selective colorimetric Cys sensor based on core-substituted...
This study presents the use of a core-substituted naphthalene diimide (NDI) probe for the selective sensing of cysteine (Cys). The UV-vis and colorimetric study showed that the NDI probe is highly...
View ArticleMaximizing impeller power efficiency in gas-solid-liquid stirred vessels...
In this work, suspension of ultrahigh concentration solids in the presence of gas at different solids concentrations, gas flow rates, and impeller types was studied in a mechanically agitated vessel. A...
