Hypobaric (low-pressure; LP) storage offers considerable potential as a method for preventing postharvest losses of horticultural and other perishable commodities, such as fruits, vegetables, cut flowers and meat. This book, written by the world's leading authority on hypobaric …
Oil is a curse, it is often said, that condemns the countries producing it to an existence defined by war, corruption and enormous inequality. Carbon Democracy tells a more complex story, arguing that no nation escapes the political consequences of our collective dependence on …

Global carbon cycling has long been recognized as a fundamental control on Earth’s evolution, driving changes in both the deep Earth and our surface environment. Yet our knowledge of the carbon cycle in the past and present is ultimately limited by our ability to constrain the m…
One of the most important mechanisms of foamy oil is the solvents’ non-equilibrium dissolution and exsolution behavior. Therefore, the real-time capturing of these dynamic properties is crucial in analyzing how foamy oil evolves under non-equilibrium state. In this research, var…
Inland waters play an important role in the transport, transformation, loss and storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in the pathway between terrestrial and marine systems. Inland waters can act as both sources to the atmosphere through evasion of GHGs such as CO2, CH4 and N2O,…
The synthesis of a scandium aluminium methylphosphonate ScAl₃(CH₃PO₃)₆ isostructural to the aluminium methylphosphonate AlMePO-α and with permanent microporosity is reported here for the first time. Structural characterisation of three lanthanide bisphosphonate structures (I,II,…
Several heterogeneously catalysed reactions have been studied at pressures above and below the critical pressure of carbon dioxide in both carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The purpose of this study was to ascertain if carbon dioxide above its critical pressure and temperature would …
This work investigated the synthesis, characterisation and properties of known and novel scandium carboxylate Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs). The first part reports the performance of these Sc-MOFs as Lewis acid catalysts. The porous MOF scandium trimesate MIL-100(Sc) and the s…
The separation of the expensive catalysts from the solvent and reaction products remains one of the major disadvantages of homogeneous catalytic reactions, which are otherwise advantageous because of their high activity, tuneable selectivity and ease of study. Ideally, the homog…
Efficiency of particulate semiconductors for driving photocatalytic reactions is impractically low due to the recombination of excited carriers and intermediate species at the interface. In the literature it has been demonstrated internal depolarisation fields in ferroelectric m…
