Hydrogen-Rich Syngas Derived from Smouldering Biomass and Hydrocarbon Wastes
… feasible or environmentally sustainable. Smouldering has recently been developed as a cost effective and energy efficient technology for destruction of organic wastes. The unique reaction zones created within a smouldering system have the potential to generate hydrogen if properly amended. …

Field Trials of Ex Situ Smouldering Treatment (STARx) of Oil Sludge
… and their produced wastes. Self-sustained liquid smouldering – known as STAR technology - has been studied extensively at small scales and has been proven as an effective in situ remediation technique for heavy hydrocarbons. However, STAR as a large-scale ex situ waste disposal method (STARx) has …

Management of organisational crises and patient safety: towards a more inclusive approach
… more holistic understanding of the management of smouldering crises and progress knowledge regarding the ‘latent conditions’ which underlie adverse patient safety incidents in healthcare organisations. In so doing, this thesis will move the debate concerning both the management of smouldering …

Geochemical changes, plant growth and ecosystem recovery in soils after high temperature remediation
Thermal and smouldering remediation can effectively remove toxic organic compounds from contaminated sites, opening them up for re-development or environmental enrichment. However, these treatments generate elevated temperatures in the soil (40-1200°C) that may impact its quality, particularly its …

Light scattering by smoke and nuisance aerosols
… those generated by flaming and non-flaming (smouldering and forced pyrolysis) fires as well as nuisance aerosols. This was undertaken using a scattering cross section based on the mass concentration of aerosols as opposed to the traditional arbittary units.

Two-phase flows accompanying fires in enclosures
… a compartment for 'surface' fires, for example smouldering combustion and weak fires, is investigated. The active model is used to study the hydrodynamics of powder extinguishing media in a compartment with an open doorway.

Heat and mass transfer from endogeus combustion processes in packed beds.
Since fires can develop from endogenous smouldering combustion processes deep inside packed beds, especially domestic refuse beds, it is a major task in early fire detection to detect the indications of such combustions as early as possible. Since it is believed that the surface temperature …

MULTIPLE MYELOMA PLASMA CELL PROFILING: INTEGRATED SINGLE-CELL RNA AND VDJ SEQUENCING APPROACHES UNCOVER NOVEL CLINICAL INSIGHTS
… Indeterminato (MGUS) o Mieloma Multiplo Smouldering (SMM). Il MM presenta architetture clonali complesse e interazioni cruciali con il microambiente tumorale (TME). In effetti, la progressione della malattia è guidata dall’interazione disfunzionale tra la popolazione di PCs e il TME. La …

An investigation of the role of ACTN1 in platelet formation and of platelet function in myeloma
… common in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), smouldering myeloma (SM) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In the present study, multiparameter analysis of platelet activation and responsiveness was investigated by flow cytometry in patients with MGUS, SM/MM and …

Assessing the psychosocial impact of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)
… patients; including MGUS (n=171) and smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM) (another premalignant plasma cell disorder) (n=60) patients. The survey was promoted using social media and online patient support groups and included validated instruments such as EQ-5D, SF-12, EQ-5D and HADS. The …
