A study of the importance of secondary reactions in char formation and pyrolysis : a dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Process Engineering at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]
Anthropogenic climate change, caused primarily by excessive emissions of carbon dioxide, has led to a renewed interest in char, the solid product of pyrolysis. When applied to soil as biochar it can both sequester carbon and improve soil function.

SARS‐CoV2 Omicron and its substrains are still a critical global health issue and extremely contagious, even with widespread vaccination efforts. Hospitalizations and mortality rates linked to these variants are still prevalent. Current therapeutic options face challenges, including low effectiveness, suboptimal pharmacokinetics, and drug resistance ...

Plantation forestry is an important land use in New Zealand (currently 7% of the area), and recent central government incentives for tree planting will likely result in further increases in the future. Plantation forestry in New Zealand often occurs on steep, high‐erodible land, often as a form of catchment restoration and/or erosion control.

Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

Targeting Bayes factors with direct-path non-equilibrium thermodynamic integration [PDF]
Thermodynamic integration (TI) for computing marginal likelihoods is based on an inverse annealing path from the prior to the posterior distribution. In many cases, the resulting estimator suffers from high variability, which particularly stems from the ...
