Augmenting the Applicability and Efficiency of Ecological Engineering Solutions for Water Quality Improvement
(2010)
The design options available to the ecological engineer were expanded by exploring new sustainable water quality improvement techniques, specifically the applicability of passive treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) in ...
UPGRADING OF BIOMASS-DERIVED MOLECULES FOR FUELS VIA HYDRODEOXYGENATION ON SUPPORTED METALS
(2010)
Biomass-derived molecules such as aldehydes and alcohols have been upgraded to more valuable products via hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation on supported metals. For unsaturated aldehydes, the competitive hydrogenation ...
THE ENHANCED COGNITIVE INTERVIEW, IMAGERY, REPETITION, AND DELAY: EFFECTS ON EYEWITNESS ACCURACY
