Clay Ceramic Materials for Water Filtration: Properties, Processing and Performance
(2016-03-16)
Ceramic water filters are promising household water treatment technology, as they are capable of removing waterborne pathogens and thereby reducing diarrheal disease. Flow rates are the main quality control criterion for ...
Contributions to the Control Theory of Some Partial Functional Integrodifferential Equations In Banach Spaces
(2016-01-15)
This thesis is a contribution to Control Theory of some Partial Functional Integrodifferential Equations in Banach spaces. It is made up of two parts: controllability and existence of optimal controls. In the first part, ...
An Approach Towell Placement and Productionin a Green Field – A Case Study
(2016-06-20)
Reservoir development planning and well placement significantly affect hydrocarbon recovery. Therefore, strategic well placement and development techniques are essential to minimize the risk of unproductive drilling and ...
Separable projection integrals for higher-order correlators of the cosmic microwave sky: Acceleration by factors exceeding 100
(ElsevierJournal of Computational Physics, 2016-01-19)
We present a case study describing efforts to optimise and modernise “Modal”, the simulation and analysis pipeline used by the Planck satellite experiment for constraining general non-Gaussian models of the early universe ...
Three-dimensional flow in Kupffer's Vesicle
(SpringerJournal of Mathematical Biology, 2016-01-29)
Whilst many vertebrates appear externally left-right symmetric, the arrangement of internal organs is asymmetric. In zebrafish, the breaking of left-right symmetry is organised by Kupffer’s Vesicle (KV): an approximately ...
Using stratification to mitigate end-effects in quasi-Keplerian Taylor-Couette flow
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-02-24)
Efforts to model accretion disks in the laboratory using Taylor–Couette flow apparatus are plagued with problems due to the substantial impact the end-plates have on the flow. We explore the possibility of mitigating the ...
ATLAS diboson excess could be an R-parity violating dismuon excess
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2016-02-09)
We propose a new possible explanation of the ATLAS diboson excess: that it is due to heavy resonant slepton production, followed by decay into dismuons. The smuon has a mass not too far from the W and Z masses, and so it ...
On superconformal anyons
(SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2016-01-22)
In d = 2+1 dimensions, there exist field theories which are non-relativistic and superconformal. These theories describe two species of anyons, whose spins differ by 1/2, interacting in a harmonic trap. We compute the ...
Acoustic Scattering by a Finite Rigid Plate with a Poroelastic Extension
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-02-24)
The scattering of sound by a finite rigid plate with a finite poroelastic extension interacting with an unsteady acoustic source is investigated to determine the effects of porosity, elasticity, and the length of the ...
