(2023)It is imperative to use renewable energy sources for heat storage and electricity generation. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is the most efficient way. The CSP is paired with a thermal energy storage (TES) module to ...
-
(2024)Societies always welcome entrepreneurial initiatives as they are reported to have many benefits beyond their mere economic impact. Successful entrepreneurial ventures are known to have a positive impact by creating ...
-
(2024)This thesis seeks to foster linguistic integration for transnational migrants in Australia, by investigating how translingual discrimination may influence its process. Drawing on the methodology of linguistic and digital ...
-
(2024)Two chemical looping processes are investigated using Aspen Plus simulations in this thesis, namely Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) and Three Reactor Chemical Looping (TRCL). Both hold the promise of obtaining energy ...
-
(2024)Designing efficient and durable solid-state electrolytes is crucial for fuel cells operating at reduced temperatures (200-600°C). This thesis explores improvements in polymer electrolyte membranes and perovskite electrolytes ...
-
(2024)This thesis presents a new single-stage extendable Multilevel Inverter (MLI) called the Switched-Capacitor Boost Multilevel Inverter (SCBMLI), based on the quasi Z-source inverter (qZSI). It can generate 17/25/57 or more ...
-
(2024)This study focuses on examining the effect of the biofilm microbiome on the effectiveness of chemical mitigation treatments for microbiologically influenced corrosion prevention. We evaluate the differences between various ...
-
(2023)The thesis introduces a novel risk-disaggregated valuation framework that uniquely addresses risk factors. Notably, project-associated risk factors are recognised as costs to separate from a single discount rate. ...
-
(2024)Oxidative stress is a major barrier to the success of cryopreservation as a conservation method, having been associated with poor cryopreservation results in multiple plant species. This thesis found that antioxidants ...
-
(2024)This study investigated the molecular mechanisms regulating TWEAKindependent Fn14 signalling to identify barriers preventing successful targeting of the TWEAK/Fn14 signalling pathway. The principal discovery was that ...
