Effects of host injury on susceptibility of marine reef fishes to ectoparasitic gnathiid isopods
(Springer, 2018)
The importance of the role that parasites play in ecological communities is becoming increasingly apparent. However much about their impact on hosts and thus populations and communities remains poorly understood. A common ...
The influence of design parameters on the occurrence of shielding in multi-electrode ESPs and its effect on performance
(Elsevier, 2018)
A numerical model in which OpenFOAM® is used to model the electrostatic field resulting from corona discharge in single-channel wire-plate electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) was applied to systematically study the shielding ...
A review of methods to predict the effective thermal conductivity of packed pebble beds, with emphasis on the near-wall region
(Elsevier, 2018)
The effective thermal conductivity is an important parameter that is representative of the overall heat transfer in a packed bed of spheres. It includes the effects of conduction through the solid material and contact areas ...
Investigating the effectiveness of mandatory integration of health impact assessment within environmental impact assessment (EIA): a case study of Thailand
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
The effectiveness of the integration of health impact assessment (HIA) and environmental impact assessment (creating an environmental and health impact assessment’ (EHIA) process) is investigated, drawing on an example of ...
Uncovering the metabolic response of abalone (Haliotis midae) to environmental hypoxia through metabolomics
(Springer, 2018)
Introduction
Oxygen is essential for metabolic processes and in the absence thereof alternative metabolic pathways are required for energy production, as seen in marine invertebrates like abalone. Even though hypoxia has ...
Investigating the performance of coupled WRF-ROMS simulations of Hurricane Irene (2011) in a regional climate modeling framework
(Elsevier, 2018)
Hurricane Irene (2011) was a category 3 tropical storm that resulted in severe flooding, causing at least 40 deaths and more than $15 billion in damaged property along the US northeastern seaboard (Avila and Cangialosi, ...
No strangers to adversity: resilience-promoting practices among South African women child protection social workers
(Sage, 2018)
Globally the well-being of child protection social workers (CPSWs) is placed at risk by the taxing nature of their profession. In response, there have been international calls for the prioritization of CPSWs’ resilience. ...
Radiopharmaceutical enhancement by drug delivery systems: a review
(Elsevier, 2018)
Introduction
Drug delivery systems are entities designed to alter the biological behaviour of the pharmaceutical active ingredients that they carry in order to afford more beneficial biodistribution and safety profiles. ...
Phenylacetylene polymerisation mediated by cationic cyclometallated palladium(II) complexes bearing benzylidene 2,6-diisopropylphenylamine and its derivatives as ligands
(RSC, 2018)
A series of novel cationic palladacycle complexes bearing benzylidene-2,6-diisopropylphenylamine derivatives as ligands and with the general formula [Pd(MeCN)(L)(R-C6H3)CH[double bond, length as m-dash]N{2,6-iPr2-C6H3}][ ...
Independence tests in semiparametric transformation models
(SASA, 2018)
Consider an observed response Y which, following a certain transformation Yϑ by := Tϑ (Y ), can be expressed by a homoskedastic nonparametric regression model reference a vector X of regressors. If this transformation model ...
