Background Malignant airway obstruction is a feared complication and will most probably occur more frequently in the future because of increasing cancer incidence and increased life expectancy in cancer patients. Minimal invasive treatment using airway stents represents a meaningful and life...

Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA) has already proved that it can be used for capture of CO₂ from the tail gas of the PSA process for hydrogen purification. The demo operated in Port Arthur by Air Products has already captured more than 1 million metric tons of CO₂. In this work we are...

A new kind of membrane free liquid metal battery was developed. The battery employs liquid sodium and zinc as electrodes both in liquid state, and NaCl-CaCl2 molten salts as electrolyte. The discharge flat voltage is in the range of about 1.4 V–1.8 V, and the cycle efficiency achieved is about...

Evolution of work and load is required for investigating elasticity and cost-efficiency of cloud computing applications as well as their underlying architecture. Existing modelling environments have fixed load and work, therefore rendering model-and-analyse approaches infeasible for such...

The development of floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) plants has resulted in a focus on reducing the weight and size of the topside processing facilities for these units. The conventional fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGL) in LNG plants implies a direct sequence of three or more...

The decrease in toxicity of carbon capture reclaimer monoethanolamine (MEA) waste (MEAw) during anaerobic degradation of such waste together with easily degradable organics was investigated. Samples were collected from a bioreactor at steady state with 86 % organic chemical oxygen demand removal at...
