Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction and Piezospectroscopy used for the Investigation of Individual Mechanical Effects from Environmental Contaminants and Oxide Layer Undulations in Thermal Barrier Coatings
… comprised of Calcium-Magnesium-Alumina-Silicate (CMAS). Previous studies have shown that these effects present themselves through variations in the thermomechanical and thermochemical properties of the coating. This study investigated the impact of CMAS ingression on the Yttria Stabilized Zirconia …

Triplet Exciton Management via Solid-State Interactions in Organic Semiconductors
… light emitters, carbene-metal-amides (CMAs). Triplet excitons are normally silent in luminescence due to the spin-forbidden decay process, whereas effectively harvesting triplet excitons helps to boost the performance of light-emitting devices. As the triplet excitons are sensitive to …

Decentralisation of water resource management : a comparative review of catchment management authorities in South Africa and Victoria, Australia
… NWA introduces Catchment Management Agencies (CMAs) in water management and gives them authority over water management at a catchment level. Initially there were nineteen (19) and this number has since been reduced to nine (9) due to a number of factors. South African authorities are now …

Kinetics of DCOD Consumption by Bacterial Suspensions
… biomass from a complete mixed activated sludge (CMAS) system was tested using sequencing batch reactors (SBR). Results indicate that when the So/Xo ratio is low (below 0.3) the removal of readily biodegradable soluble substrate can be well described by first-order kinetics with an asymptotic …
