• Current perspectives on the development of Industry 4.0 in the pharmaceutical sector 

  Reinhardt, Ingrid Carla; Oliveira, Jorge C.; Ring, Denis T. (Elsevier Inc., 2020-02-13)

  Industry 4.0 is a concept that represents the adoption by industry of techniques and processes allowed by digitisation, cloud computing, the internet of things and big data to gain competitive advantages in domestic and ...
• Application of mathematical modelling to reducing and minimising energy requirement for oxygen transfer in batch stirred tank bioreactors 

  Fitzpatrick, John J.; Gloanec, Franck; Michel, Elisa; Blondy, Johanna; Lauzeral, Anais (MDPI, 2019-02-03)

  In this study, microbial kinetic and oxygen transfer modelling coupled with energy analysis was applied to investigate how manipulation and control of agitator power input and air flowrate can reduce and minimise the total ...
• Thermodynamic assessment of non-catalytic Ceria for syngas production by methane reduction and CO2 + H2O oxidation 

  Bose, Archishman; Farooqui, Azharuddin; Ferrero, Domenico; Santarelli, Massimo; Llorca, Jordi (Springer Verlag, 2019-01-31)

  Chemical looping syngas production is a two-step redox cycle with oxygen carriers (metal oxides) circulating between two interconnected reactors. In this paper, the performance of pure CeO2/Ce2O3 redox pair was investigated ...
• Four millennia of dairy surplus and deposition revealed through compound-specific stable isotope analysis and radiocarbon dating of Irish bog butters  

  Smyth, Jessica; Berstan, Robert; Casanova, Emmanuelle; McCormick, Finbar; Mulhall, Isabella; Sikora, Maeve; Synnott, Chris; Evershed, Richard P. (Springer Nature, 2019-03-14)

  Bog butters are large white or yellow waxy deposits regularly discovered within the peat bogs of Ireland and Scotland. They represent an extraordinary survival of prehistoric and later agricultural products, comprising the ...
• Assessing environmental sustainability using ecological limits expressed as mass flowrates with the inclusion of a sustainable time perspective 

  Fitzpatrick, John J.; Mullally, Brian (MDPI, 2019-09-24)

  This study explores the concept of ecological limits (ELs) for determining the sustainable extraction of natural resources and sustainable discharge of emissions. ELs are expressed as limiting mass flowrates and equations ...
