Offshore Conversion Of Wind Power To Gaseous Fuels: Feasibility Study In A Depleted Gas Field, P. D. O'Kelly-Lynch, P. D. Gallagher, A. G.L. Borthwick, E. J. Mckeogh, P. G. Leahy Jan 2020

Offshore Conversion Of Wind Power To Gaseous Fuels: Feasibility Study In A Depleted Gas Field, P. D. O'Kelly-Lynch, P. D. Gallagher, A. G.L. Borthwick, E. J. Mckeogh, P. G. Leahy

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

A proof-of-concept study is presented of a Power-to-Gas system that is located fully offshore. This paper analyses how such a system would perform if based at the depleted Kinsale Gas Field in the Celtic Sea Basin off the south coast of Ireland. An offshore wind farm is proposed as the power source for the system. Several conversion technologies are examined in detail in terms of resource efficiency, technological maturity, and platform area footprint, the aim being to ascertain their overall applicability to an offshore Power-to-Gas system. The technologies include proton exchange membrane electrolysers for electrolysis of water to release H2. …

Dynamic Flood Topographies In The Terai Region Of Nepal, E. H. Dingle, M. J. Creed, H. D. Sinclair, D. Gautam, N. Gourmelen, A. G.L. Borthwick, M. Attal Jan 2020

Dynamic Flood Topographies In The Terai Region Of Nepal, E. H. Dingle, M. J. Creed, H. D. Sinclair, D. Gautam, N. Gourmelen, A. G.L. Borthwick, M. Attal

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

AbstractFlood hazard maps used to inform and build resilience in remote communities in the Terai region of southern Nepal are based on outdated and static digital elevation models (DEMs), which do not reflect dynamic river configuration or hydrology. Episodic changes in river course, sediment dynamics, and the distribution of flow down large bifurcation nodes can modify the extent of flooding in this region, but these processes are rarely considered in flood hazard assessment. Here, we develop a 2D hydrodynamic flood model of the Karnali River in the Terai region of west Nepal. A number of scenarios are tested examining different …

Occupants’ Satisfaction In Breeam Excellent Certified Buildings, A Montazami, S Korsavi, G Howell Jan 2020

Occupants’ Satisfaction In Breeam Excellent Certified Buildings, A Montazami, S Korsavi, G Howell

School of Art, Design and Architecture

This paper examines occupants’ satisfaction of three BREEAM excellent certified buildings at Coventry University in the UK. Occupants’ satisfaction is evaluated against passive and active sustainable approaches used in these buildings to improve Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). This paper adopts a quantitative approach by running a seven-point rating scale questionnaire to obtain occupants’ overall satisfaction score in each building. A total of 180 occupants were surveyed to investigate occupants’ satisfaction of the thermal environment, indoor air quality, visual and acoustic environment during summer and winter. The results show that average satisfaction scores are towards the more acceptable part of the …

Β-Cell Glucose Sensitivity Determines Hyperglycaemia In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, J Tomlinson, A Mari, A Tura, K Bond, E Stenhouse, T Dew, Rp Vincent, J Pinkney

Peninsula Medical School

Aims To investigate the mechanism of hyperglycaemia in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by modelling physiological insulin secretion. Methods 45 non-diabetic women with PCOS (defined by Rotterdam criteria) and 47 controls were studied. Insulin secretion was modelled from glucose and C-peptide concentrations during a 6-point oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin resistance (IR) was determined by the Matsuda Insulin Sensitivity Index (ISI). Results (1). β-Cell Glucose Sensitivity (βCGS) is not intrinsically impaired in PCOS, but IR is increased. (2) However, women with PCOS and 2-hour hyperglycaemia (glucose >7.5 mmol/l]) were characterized by worse βCGS compared with women with …

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a lymphocyte subset with intrinsic immunosuppressive properties that can be expanded in large numbers ex vivo and have been shown to prevent allograft rejection and promote tolerance in animal models. To investigate the safety, applicability, and biological activity of autologous Treg adoptive transfer in humans, we conducted an open-label, dose-escalation, Phase I clinical trial in liver transplantation. Patients were enrolled while awaiting liver transplantation or 6-12 months posttransplant. Circulating Tregs were isolated from blood or leukapheresis, expanded under good manufacturing practices (GMP) conditions, and administered intravenously at either 0.5-1 million Tregs/kg or 3-4.5 million Tregs/kg. …

Peninsula Medical School

Background Current evidence suggests that negative and stigmatising attitudes towards dementia may develop at a young age. There are a number of dementia education and awareness initiatives aimed at reducing stigma, though they have not been robustly evaluated to establish the impact on dementia attitudes or suitability in adolescent populations. This study explored the efficacy and satisfaction of one such initiative (Dementia Friends) in a British adolescent sample. Methods 301 adolescents (M = 12.6 years old, SD = 0.73) were assigned to either receive Dementia Friends (a 60-min interactive class that teaches about dementia and its effects on people’s lives) …

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of a therapeutic parenting program that targets parents of children aged 6 to 11 years identified as having behavioral and emotional difficulties. The intervention comprises two parts, delivered sequentially: a 10–12-week group-based program for all parents, and one-to-one sessions for up to 12 weeks with selected parents from the group-based element. Methods/Design In a randomized controlled trial, 264 participants were allocated to the Inspiring Futures program (intervention) or services as usual (control) arms with follow-up assessments at 16 (post-group program) and 32 (post-one-to-one sessions) weeks. The primary …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Fish acute toxicity tests are conducted as part of regulatory hazard identification and risk-assessment packages for industrial chemicals and plant protection products. The aim of these tests is to determine the concentration which would be lethal to 50% of the animals treated. These tests are therefore associated with suffering in the test animals, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development test guideline 203 (fish, acute toxicity) studies are the most widely conducted regulatory vertebrate ecotoxicology tests for prospective chemical safety assessment. There is great scope to apply the 3Rs principles-the reduction, refinement, and replacement of animals-in this area of testing. …
