Incorporating DAF Into Flocculation Process to Enhance Particle Removal During Intermittent Events

AWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study compared a standard Direct Filtration process (DFSTD) with a similar process that incorporated dissolved air flotation into a flocculation basin (DFDAF) to mitigate the effect of particle loading events on filter run time and water quality.

Use of implanted acoustic tags to assess platypus movement behaviour across spatial and temporal scales

Scientific Reports, 2018
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is an evolutionarily distinct mammal, endemic to Australian freshwaters. Many aspects of its ecology and life-history, including detailed understanding of movements, are poorly known, hampered by its cryptic and ...

Beyond a Conduit: The Evolution of Functional Biliary Stents From Active Intervention to Enabling Platforms

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review traces the evolution of functional biliary stents, outlining the paradigm shift from “active intervention” strategies that target stent failure to next‐generation “enabling platforms.” These platforms leverage biodegradable materials, 3D/4D printing, and smart sensors to achieve personalized, regenerative, and theranostic solutions ...

Clustering by compression

, 2004
We present a new method for clustering based on compression. The method doesn't use subject-specific features or background knowledge, and works as follows: First, we determine a universal similarity distance, the normalized compression distance or NCD ...

Ancient antimicrobial peptides kill antibiotic-resistant pathogens: Australian mammals provide new options.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundTo overcome the increasing resistance of pathogens to existing antibiotics the 10×'20 Initiative declared the urgent need for a global commitment to develop 10 new antimicrobial drugs by the year 2020. Naturally occurring animal antibiotics are

Modelling incomplete fusion dynamics of weakly-bound nuclei at near-barrier energies

, 2010
The classical dynamical model for reactions induced by weakly-bound nuclei at near-barrier energies is developed further. It allows a quantitative study of the role and importance of incomplete fusion dynamics in asymptotic observables, such as the ...

Color vision evolution in egg-laying mammals: insights from visual photoreceptors and daily activities of Australian echidnas

Zoological Letters
Egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are considered “primitive” due to traits such as oviparity, cloaca, and incomplete homeothermy, all of which they share with reptiles.
