SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

More than five years after the Murray Darling Basin Plan was implemented, it's clear that it is not delivering on its key objectives. The Basin Plan, at its core, is about reducing the amount of water that can be extracted from its streams, rivers and aquifers. It includes an environmental water strategy to improve the conditions of the wetlands and rivers of the basin. The Productivity Commission will conduct a five-yearly inquiry into the effectiveness of the Basin Plan in 2018. It is high time to explain what is really going on in the Basin and water recovery. For this …

One-Step Bonding Of Ni Electrode To N-Type Pbte - A Step Towards Fabrication Of Thermoelectric Generators, Xavier Reales Ferreres, Sima Aminorroaya-Yamini, Mitchell John Bromley Nancarrow, C Zhang

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

PbTe-based thermoelectric materials are good candidates for harvesting waste heat at mid-range temperatures due to their high thermoelectric efficiencies. Excellent quality and reliability of the bonding between the thermoelectric material and the electrode at high temperatures are essential for manufacturing thermoelectric generators. Here, a technique has been developed to achieve high-quality bonding between PbTe and the electrode. We have successfully performed one-step sintering of nickel electrode to n-type PbTe powder using spark plasma sintering. The fabricated interphase, composed of nickel telluride, is continuous and homogeneous across the junction, without visible flaws on the electrode or in the interphase and PbTe. …

'Good Engineering Governance' - An Issue For Ergonomists, J V. Nendick, M Hassan, E N. Urwin, Grace A. Kennedy, C E. Siemieniuch, M A. Sinclair Jan 2006

'Good Engineering Governance' - An Issue For Ergonomists, J V. Nendick, M Hassan, E N. Urwin, Grace A. Kennedy, C E. Siemieniuch, M A. Sinclair

SMART Infrastructure Facility - Papers

Engineering Governance can be summarised as two questions: 'Are we doing the right things?' and 'Are we doing those things right?'. It forms a part of Corporate Governance, and in the manufacturing domain it is the key to long-term survival amid changing commercial contexts. The paper will outline some of the ergonomics issues of importance in this topic; 'ownership' of goverrnance; implications for design, production and operation; and, perhaps most important for Ergonomists, the resulting implications for the design of jobs. These implications cover organisational discipline, the inclusion of suitable, 'effort-free' metrics in engineering processes, the allocation of responsibility and …


Enhancement Of Bioavailability And Determination Of Some Fluoroquinolones Antibiotics; Application To U A E Market, Moza Rashed Sultan Al-Zaabi May 2002

Enhancement Of Bioavailability And Determination Of Some Fluoroquinolones Antibiotics; Application To U A E Market, Moza Rashed Sultan Al-Zaabi

Theses

Chapter 1 of this thesis includes the importance of fluoroquinolones as one of the most impressive antibacterial drugs. Also, a complete picture about the selective molecules named cyclodextrins (CDs) is drawn. Such molecules are able to form inclusion complexes with a wide variety of lipophilic drugs. That is why CDs act as drug carriers through an aqueous media to the lipophilic cell membrane and delivers them to cells. Which results in enhancing the bioavailability of drugs with low aqueous solubility. Moreover, an explanation of the DNA/drug interactions is proposed. These are extremely useful in understanding the DNA sequence recognition by …

The Metamorphism And The Relationship Between Infra And Suprastructures Of The Bi̇tli̇s Massif – Turkey, Metin Şengün Aug 1993

The Metamorphism And The Relationship Between Infra And Suprastructures Of The Bi̇tli̇s Massif – Turkey, Metin Şengün

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The infrastructure of the massive consists essentially of amphibolites, gneisses and micaschists intruded by a biotite granite and the successive hololeucocratic phase. The mantling rocks of the suprastructure comprise metapelitic rocks unconformably underlying metacarbonates dated as Middle Devonian- Mesozoic. The infra-suprastructure boundary is interpreted as a surface of transgressive overlap. The rocks of infra and suprastructure are involved in isoclinal folds with ductile deformation along most of the boundary conclusively suggesting in situ position of the suprastructure during the Alpine deformation. The shear planes are discontinous, en echelon and run independently of the infra-suprastructure boundary. A uniform sequence of Palaeozoic …

Hydrocarbon Potential Of The Kahramanmaraş And Elbi̇stan Areas, Yüksel Önem Jun 1991

Hydrocarbon Potential Of The Kahramanmaraş And Elbi̇stan Areas, Yüksel Önem

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

The Taurus mountains, which developed in the conjoining zone of the Anatolian and Arabian Plates, underwent a disruption between Bolkar mountain and Engizek mountain. This can be explained by the fact that the area was traversed and transformed by two major strike-sup faults situated at Mersin-east Bolkar mountain-Kayseri in the west and Antakya (Hatay)-Elazığ-Bingöl in the east, In fact, the east-west oriented 200 km. wide area, covering the Gulf of İskenderun and the northern pan of Adana, was compressed and deflected as far as the north of Sarız and the Arabian Plate was dislocated prior to the faulting and moved …
