(Elsevier, 10 July 2020)The aim of this study was to conduct the first comprehensive life cycle assessment and economic analysis on ethanol produced from agave. Compositional and field data from a field experiment in Queensland, Australia was ... -
Towards a sustainable greenhouse: Review of trends and emerging practices in analyzing greenhouse ventilation requirements to sustain maximum agricultural yield
(MDPI, 2020)Cultivation in open fields mainly depends on the location and time of farming, which itself highly depends on the quality and quantity of water for irrigation, weather conditions and soil characteristics. Water resources ... -
Finding a balance: A systematic review of the biomechanical effects of vestibular prostheses on stability in humans
(MDPI, 2020)The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and is responsible for maintaining balance in humans. Bilateral vestibular dysfunction (BVD) is a disorder that adversely affects vestibular function. This results in ... -
Three-dimensional profiling of collimated radio-frequency orbital angular momentum beams
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 14 February 2020)The use of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes in radio communication is thought to enhance capacity. This work focuses on using the l = +1 mode transmitted from a 180 mm diameter, 8-element circular antenna array. The ... -
Raman spectroscopy of GaSe and InSe post-transition metal chalcogenides layers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 16 March 2020)III-VI post-transition metal chalcogenides (InSe and GaSe) are a new class of layered semiconductors, which feature a strong variation of size and type of their band gaps as a function of number of layers (N). Here, we ...
