Oscillatory baffled reactors (OBRs) utilise strategically placed baffles that interact with fluid pulsations to generate specific flow patterns, yielding exceptional mixing control independent of the net flow rate and residence time. In this study, the mixing performance of oscillatory baffled reactors (OBRs) for the hydrometallurgical separation of cobalt and nickel is systematically explored using a 3D-printed reactor. The impact of ...

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a family of multifunctional enzymatic complexes crucial for cellular signalling, playing a pivotal role in brain function and development. Mutations in specific genes encoding PP2A complexes have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders with hypotonia and high risk of seizures. In the current work, we present an individual with specific learning problems, motor coordination disorders, hypotonia and ...

In this contribution, I consider the (prepositional) articular infinitive from the complementary perspectives of ‘syntax’ and ‘context’, on the basis of a corpus of documentary papyri. Syntactically speaking, the construction has been said to become increasingly nominal in the Post-classical period; using syntactic criteria drawn from typological studies, I argue that the articular infinitive retains its verbal character in the papyri, and is ...

The study of microbial hydrocarbons removal is of great importance for the development of future bioremediation strategies. In this study, we evaluated the removal of a gaseous mixture containing toluene, m-xylene, ethylbenzene, cyclohexane, butane, pentane, hexane and heptane in aerated stirred bioreactors inoculated with Rhodococcus erythropolis and operated under non-sterile conditions. For the real-time measurement of hydrocarbons, a novel ...

The room temperature (RT)-catalytic oxidation of gaseous formaldehyde (FA) in the dark is regarded as one of the most viable technical options for its removal from indoor air. Herein, the copper manganite spinel (CuMn2O4) supported palladium (Pd) catalysts are firstly synthesized for the thermocatalytic oxidation of FA in air. In particular, 0.05% Pd-CuMn2O4-R ('R' denotes high-temperature reduction pre-treatment using hydrogen) achieves 100% ...

Information systems and information technology (IS/IT) services are often outsourced to external partners for multiple reasons, but the main drivers are savings in cost, access to specialized expertise and technology, and focus on core competencies. The outsourcing literature is persistently reporting high failure rates in IS/IT project outsourcing. Literature suggests that the IS/IT project outsourcing is a complex maneuver, but unfortunately, ...

Archaeological research in the Low Countries regularly uncovers medieval herring casks. They usually show a wide range of marks and symbols. Herring casks are the bearers of a sign system that had relationships with other forms of writing that played a role in the management of a growing fishing industry and the food supply of the urbanized population. The signs on the casks are prominent witnesses to the important fourteenth- and ...
