Introduction: The majority of nanomedicines and numerous other advanced therapeutics like antibody drugs contain polyethylene glycol (PEG) moieties, intended to improve their pharmacokinetic and pharmacological profiles. Methods: PEGylated nanomedicines and protein therapeutics, neat and ex vivo...
The long-term safety of future CO2 storage projects in aquifers will not only rely on a comprehensive geological characterisation of the formation and capillary seal, but also on the ability to effectively monitor the underground migration of CO2 to allow immediate and effective remediation to...
The oxidative degradation of previously used ethanolamine from three different CO2 capture pilot plants was studied in a laboratory-scale degradation setup. Different solvents behave differently under the same experimental conditions, indicating that different solvent contaminants, resulting from...
Eighteen structurally varied amines were subjected to harsh oxidative conditions, and their stability was assessed and seen in the context of biological and thermal stability. Steric effects play a large role in the stabilization of amines under oxidative conditions, and the presence of carbon...
Pilot plant testing of amine solvents for post-combustion CO2 capture is an essential tool for fully understanding degradation behaviour and emission profiles under realistic process conditions. This review aims to summarise the lessons learned in different pilot campaigns, as well as to give...
Degradation and corrosion of amine solutions in post combustion CO2 capture plants increases the cost of the process due to operational problems, the need for high quality material in the plant and reduction of the solvent's CO2 capacity. A literature review over degradation and corrosion in CO...
This work investigates and improves methodology for approximating hydropower systems by feasibility spaces, which can be embedded in the stochastic dual dynamic programming algorithm and applied in the context long-term hydrothermal scheduling. The feasibility spaces are derived from optimization of...
This paper introduces a cyber-physical test bench for metropolitan area digital substations, which serves as a platform for studying advanced cyber-attacks and evaluating intrusion detection systems. The test bench provides a hardware-in-the-loop environment with a high Technology Readiness Level...
