Addressing Diameter Non-uniformity in the Melt Spinning of Asphaltenes-Derived Carbon Fibres
DownloadSpring 2023
Asphaltenes offer a cheap alternative to the predominant precursor currently used in the manufacture of carbon fibres. Melt spinning is typically employed for transforming asphaltenes into a fibrous form but faces two challenges: inconsistent or poor spinnability and a large diameter variation in...

Consequences of peatland disturbance for dissolved organic matter and nutrient transport and fate in northern catchments
DownloadFall 2023
Northern peatlands contain ~415 Pg of carbon (C) in soil organic matter and are significant sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in inland waters. DOM includes a range of molecules that are C-rich and may also contain nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). The escalating disturbance of peatlands...

The Effect of Mandibular Advancement Devices on Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Markers of Cardiovascular Health in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients: A Feasibility Trial
DownloadFall 2023
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy improves sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in mild to moderate adult OSA patients, or in those with severe OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP. Secondarily, we will investigate whether MAD therapy improves vascular health and...

With the emergence of renewable energy resources, such as solar panels, wind turbines and plugin electric vehicles, there is an increasing need for peer-to-peer energy trading (P2P-ET) among small-scale energy producers, known as prosumers. Many recent studies have suggested blockchain for P2P-ET...
