Extended shelf-life milk can be produced by a combination of microfiltration and pasteurisation. However, due to the need for high cross-flow velocity during microfiltration, the energy consumption is high. One way of decreasing the energy demand during microfiltration is to use back-pulsing for fouling control. Microfiltration was performed in constant flux mode on skim milk to measure the foulin
Thuvander, L, Femenias, P, Mjörnell, K, Meiling, P, Unveiling the process of sustainable renovation. Published in open access journal Sustainability 2012, 4(6), in May 2012.Renovation processes are complex and there is a risk of underestimating architectural, cultural, and social values in favor of exterior and interior upgrading, energy efficiency and financing. A synthesized, systematic process is needed for making decisions about renovation measures. The aim of this paper is to survey decision-making procedures aimed for sustainable renovation. We inventory existi
Macrophages play an important role in asthma pathogenesis both in the inflammatory and resolution phase of the disease. Macrophages can acquire different polarisation states dependent on their microenvironment. It is yet unclear through which mechanism the microenvironment affects the anti-viral response in macrophages. We hypothesized that the macrophage microenvironment regulates rhinovirus-indu
An important challenge in the design and implementation of self-optimizing systems is that of finding a model that maps changes in a tunable parameter (or “knob”) into an effect on the performance, power, or energy, of the overall system. This paper describes ARPE (Analyzing the Relationship between Parameters and Effectors), an open source tool to analyze the effect of parameter changes on the be
This special issue presents findings from the ‘Conditioning Demand: Older People, Diversity, and Thermal Experience’ re- search project undertaken between 2011 and 2013. The aim of the project was to address the confluence of two key future trends: Europe's ageing population and the need to reduce domestic en- ergy consumption to counter rising utility prices and the in- creasing threat of climate
N-Oxyl mediated oxidations are becoming widely applied to the selective oxidation of a range of substrates bearing primary alcohol groups, including renewable biopolymers such as cellulose, but screening of mediators and oxidation conditions can be a laborious process, potentially limiting discovery of new mediators and/or optimised conditions for reaction. We describe a simple method for rapid vo
Anhand einer repräsentativen Umfrage unter Beschäftigten analysiert das vorliegende Paper die Zustimmung zu energiepolitischen Maßnahmen und die Wahrnehmung sozioökonomischer Folgen entlang politischer Parteipräferenzen. Zwischen den parteipolitischen Linien „Mitte links“ (SPD, Grüne, Die Linke), „Mitte rechts“ (CDU/CSU, FDP) und „populistisch“ (BSW, AfD) finden sich deutliche Unterschiede, aber ü
Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals are building blocks for novel materials due to the property of nanocrystals to self-assemble into ordered structures (superlattices). Exemplified by a prototypical perovskite CsPbBr3, research into perovskite nanocrystal superlattices is motivated by reports of intriguing phenomena such as superfluorescence and superradiance.[1] Such cooperative luminescence arise
Since some years ago greenhouse gases and especially carbon dioxide have become one of the most widely debated issues. To reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and nuclear waste, renewable energy sources as for example wind power plants have become very successful. These generation units are normally small compared to common thermal power plants and they are often placed distributed and connected
Global warming has drawn more and more attention from ICT industries to reduce the energy consumption of mobile cellular network recently. Lots of techniques to make the energy efficiency network, e.g. making the cell with low load switch off, have been proposed but less research on how to offer the Quality of Service(QoS) guarantee to the users which were connected to the off cell. Due to this fa
