• Insights from mathematical modelling into energy requirement and process design of continuous and batch stirred tank aerobic bioreactors 

  Fitzpatrick, John J. (MDPI, 2019-07-13)

  Bioreaction kinetics, oxygen transfer and energy modelling were applied to stirred tank aerobic bioreactors. This was done to investigate how key input design variables influence bioreactor size, feed and wasted substrate, ...
• Sustainability in the biopharmaceutical industry: seeking a holistic perspective 

  Lalor, Fergal; Fitzpatrick, John J.; Sage, Colin; Byrne, Edmond P. (Elsevier, 2019-03-26)

  Biopharmaceuticals manufacturing is a critical component of the modern healthcare system, with emerging new treatments composed of increasingly complex biomolecules offering solutions to chronic and debilitating disorders. ...
• Rice plant pattern as predictor of the milling and cooking quality in breeding programs 

  Ortiz-Romero, C.; Almeida, Ana S.; Pathania, S.; Silva, Carla; Lourenco, D.; Oliveira, Jorge C.; Brites, C. (United Arab Emirates University, 2018-06)

  An appropriate characterization of agronomic and quality traits is a fundamental tool for selecting stable genotypes suitable to be registered as new varieties. The objective of this work was to evaluate agronomic and ...
• Sealing pipe top enhancing transportation of particulate solids inside a vertically vibrating pipe 

  Zhang, Fuweng; Cronin, Kevin; Lin, Yinhe; Miao, Song; Liu, Chuanping; Wang, Li (Elsevier B.V., 2018-11-16)

  Particles can move against gravity inside a vibrating tube inserted in a static granular bed. This offers a new approach for transporting bulk material. In this work, we demonstrate a method to enhance the conveying of ...
• Broadband Acoustic Resonance Dissolution Spectroscopy (BARDS): a novel approach to investigate the wettability of pharmaceutical powder blends 

  Peddapatla, Raghhu V. G.; Ahmed, M. Rizwan; Blackshields, Caroline A.; Sousa-Gallagher, Maria J.; McSweeney, Sean; Kruse, Jacob; Crean, Abina M.; Fitzpatrick, Dara (American Chemical Society, 2017-09-19)

  The ability of Broadband Acoustic Resonance Dissolution Spectroscopy (BARDS) to assess the wettability of powder blends is investigated. BARDS is a novel analytical technology developed based on the change in acoustic ...
