Superconductors offer high throughput with low electric losses and have the potential to transform the electric power grid. Transmission networks incorporating cables of this type could, for example, deliver more power and enable substantial energy savings. Superconductors in th…
Disability cricket in England and Wales exists within a constant state of change. This thesis is an organizational analysis of how environmental factors foster reproduction and/or transformation within the field of disability cricket. It is important to examine how these factors…
The work presented in this thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is the sorption of Ni and Eu to granitic materials, and cation exchange capacity measurements for powdered and intact samples. The second part is method development on autoradiography. In the first part,…
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from large source points, such as power plants, and storing it in geological formation. It is a potential means of reducing CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere to mitigate global warming and ocean acidifica…
Hysteresis nonlinearity is found in many control system applications such as piezo-actuated nanopositioners. The positioner is represented as a linear system preceded by hysteresis. This hysteresis nonlinearity is usually modeled by operators in order to simulate their effects i…
