• In silico screening and heterologous expression of a Polyethylene Terephthalate hydrolase (PETase)- like enzyme (SM14est) with Polycaprolactone (PCL)-degrading activity, from the marine sponge-derived strain Streptomyces sp. SM14. 

  Almeida, Eduardo L.; Rincón, Andrés Felipe Carrillo; Jackson, Stephen A.; Dobson, Alan D. W. (Frontiers Media, 2019-10-01)

  Plastics, such as the polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are widely used for various industrial applications, due to their physicochemical properties which are particularly useful in the packaging industry. However, due to ...
• Power extraction in regular and random waves from an OWC in hybrid wind-wave energy systems 

  Michele, S.; Renzi, E.; Perez-Collazo, C.; Greaves, D.; Iglesias, Gregorio (Elsevier, 2019-10-03)

  A mathematical model is developed to analyse the hydrodynamics of a novel oscillating water column (OWC) in a hybrid wind-wave energy system. The OWC has a coaxial cylindrical structure in which the internal cylinder ...
• Microalgal enzymes with biotechnological applications 

  Vingiani, Giorgio Maria; De Luca, Pasquale; Ianora, Adrianna; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Lauritano, Chiara (MDPI, 2019-08-05)

  Enzymes are essential components of biological reactions and play important roles in the scaling and optimization of many industrial processes. Due to the growing commercial demand for new and more efficient enzymes to ...
• Community acceptability and the energy transition: a citizens' perspective 

  Lennon, Breffní; Dunphy, Niall P.; Sanvicente, Estibaliz (BMC, Part of Springer Nature, 2019-09-09)

  Background: Every energy transition has had its winners and its losers, both economically and in terms of social justice and community cohesion. The current transition is no different given the complex, intersecting matrices ...
• Monopile-mounted wave energy converter for a hybrid wind-wave system 

  Perez-Collazo, C.; Pemberton, R.; Greaves, D.; Iglesias, Gregorio (Elsevier, 2019-08-28)

  Multipurpose platforms are innovative solutions to combine the sustainable exploitation of multiple marine resources. Among them, hybrid wind-wave systems stand out due to the multiple synergies between these two forms of ...
