Method and apparatus for monitoring gas concentration in a fluid (2011)
Patent

A monitor for monitoring gas concentration in an aerospace application is described, one such application being measuring the concentration of oxygen in or next to aviation fuel. The monitor comprises: a substance, the spectroscopic properties of whi... Read More about Method and apparatus for monitoring gas concentration in a fluid.

Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides (2011)
Journal Article

Traditional microbiological techniques are used to provide reliable data on the rate and extent of kill for a range of biocides. However, such techniques provide very limited data regarding the initial rate of kill of fast-acting biocides over very s...

Dimensional modelling of the fuel outgassing phenomenon: Improving flammability assessment of aircraft fuel tanks (2011)
Journal Article

Fuel outgassing (oxygen evolution) within aircraft fuel tanks presents a serious flammability hazard. Time constants representing oxygen transfer rate, from the fuel into a tank’s ullage, are used to model the effect of outgassing on tank flammabilit...

Synthesis of covalently linked molecular bridges between silicon electrodes in CMOS-based arrays of vertical Si/SiO 2/Si nanogaps (2011)
Journal Article

Silicon nanogaps were bridged in situ by grafting 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde to activate the electrodes and coupling 2,6-diaminoanthra-9,10-quinone to link the coatings. The bridged structures exhibit currents of 11-14 nA at 1 V. The process is reversed b...

Multivariate analysis of bacterial volatile compound profiles for discrimination between selected species and strains in vitro (2011)
Journal Article

Volatile compounds (VCs) are produced by all microorganisms as part of their normal metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine whether bacterial VC profiles could be used to discriminate between selected bacterial species and strains in vitro...
