(2019)Nanomaterials are widely used in medical, pharmaceutical and industrial areas. The thesis investigated nanosystems in the skin. First, establishing through in vitro skin studies that nanomaterials accumulate on the skin ...
-
Development and Implementation of Next Generation Molecular Tool Kits for Environmental Applications(2019)Environmental DNA (eDNA) is used increasingly to map biodiversity in both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. In this thesis, a combination of existing and novel eDNA assays are used to study temporal and spatial patterns ...
-
(2019)The sponsored bench-top scale Monoethylene glycol distillation unit located at Curtin University was designed and operated to use realistic production fluids, such as condensate mixtures and formation water/brines to ...
-
(2019)Advanced oxidation processes have been extensively studied for wastewater purification in past years. Nanocarbons demonstrated robust catalytic activity in activation of sulfate oxidants for toxic organics degradation, ...
-
(2019)Low salinity waterflooding appears to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly means to improve oil recovery by increasing hydrophilicity. However, the controlling factor(s) behind this process remains unclear. ...
-
(2019)This thesis explores the multiplicity and mutability of the essay genre, memory and identity. It utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to bring cognitive neuroscience, life writing scholarship, literary studies and ...
-
(2020)Based on three-point bending tests and finite element modelling, effects of polarisation directions are investigated on the mechanical and electrical properties of GaN piezoelectric semiconductor ceramics (PSCs). It is ...
-
(2020)Based on dimensional analysis and finite element simulation, a new method is proposed to characterize the yield stress and interfacial coefficient of friction of materials by scratching with a Vickers indenter. Two simple ...
-
(2019)This thesis presents an investigation on synthesis of carbon nanoribbons by edged engineering and the roles of the carbon edges in several catalytic reactions, oxygen reduction reaction, aqueous organic remediation and ...
-
(2019)Integration schemes with nodal smoothed derivatives, which meet integration constraint conditions, are robust and efficient for use in meshfree Galerkin methods, however, most of them are focussed on the classical elasticity ...
