A novel plasma etching and emission monitoring system (PEEMS) to assess protein and lipid spoilation for hydrogel contact lenses
… techniques to simultaneously measure matrix and surface protein and lipid deposits. The acronym for this technique is PEEMS - Plasma Etching and Emission Monitoring System. Previous work has identified the presence of proteinaceous and lipoidal deposition on the surface of contact lenses and …

Theoretical aspects of sorption refrigeration using organic compounds
Refrigeration devices for essential food storage and preservation of medicine are among the most significant techniques developed in the past few decades. In many regions of Africa, the shortage of sustainable power sources and the abundance of solar energy make solar refrigerators a promising …

Computational fluid dynamics of water vapor/ Zeolite 13X adsorption
… Element Model (FEM) for use in determining adsorption system performance. The considered interactions are between Zeolite 13X and water vapor for the purposes of engineering adsorbent characteristics and harvester device characteristics. Four objectives are evaluated in the development of a …

Nano-scale evaluation of moisture damage in asphalt
… unsolved problem. Traditional macro-scale tests and methods failed to describe how and what factors affect moisture damage because moisture damage in asphalt is related to asphalt chemistry and adhesion characteristics, which are below micron scale phenomena. To this end, asphalt chemistry and …

The aggregation of clay minerals and marine microalgal cells : physicochemical theory and implications for controlling harmful algal blooms
… based on the mutual aggregation of algal cells and mineral particles, leading to the formation of large flocs that rapidly settle to the ocean floor. This work investigated the effectiveness of various domestic clays against a number of bloom-forming species from the United States. Twenty-five …

The effect of milk processing on protein digestion and amino acid absorption in the gastrointestinal tract of pigs as a model human : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nutritional Sciences at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand
Globally, milk is processed using heat and homogenisation to improve food safety and extend shelf life. These common processing techniques can alter the native structures present in milk, including protein structures. However, the impact of these processing-induced changes on the digestion of milk …
