Materials management plays a significant role in the success and profitability of industrial projects. Studies have indicated that materials constitute about 60% of total project cost, and control 80% of the project schedule. Hence, effective management of materials represents a…

This thesis describes a number of studies on organic semiconductors focused around using them as gain media for lasers. The photophysical properties of organic semiconductors are studied using a wide range of experimental techniques, allowing the evaluation of new materials and …
My thesis examines work by Antonin Artaud, Henry Darger, Marcel Duchamp, and Pablo Picasso, with the intention of subjecting specific works by these artists to critical tests employing the idea proposed by Antonin Artaud's subjectile, that is a paradoxical fusion of both subject…
Investigations were carried out to assess biofilm formation within a model warm water distribution system (test rig) under a variety of conditions. Analysis methods included ATP-/ culture-based analysis, SEM and confocal microscopy. Molecular-based community analysis was carried…
The objective of this research is to document the complex journey of wool from cradle to grave and beyond and to analyse the ethical and environmental cost of production from the farm to the knitwear factory, to retail and finally as post-consumer waste. The research findings ma…
The work in this thesis addresses the synthesis and characterization of porous carbon substrates, and their electrochemical and fuel cell evaluation. The approach involves using porous carbon materials of different pore characteristics as electrocatalyst materials for use as cat…
Pipe subjected to internal pressure has its highest mechanical stresses in the tangential direction. For a proper design of pipes, it is of paramount importance to relate the stresses to the right material properties. Currently there is no convenient standard test method to dete…
