Seeded Granulation ABSTRACT Seeded granulation was firstly introduced by Rahmanian et al. (2011) and is a process of making granules with uniform properties and structure. This occurs when small particles form around a larger core particle and forms a core-shell (seed) structure. The process has applications in the pharmaceutical industry as it allows for even drug distribution through the granules as a seeded granule should be covered in one full layer of the fine particles. This presentation...

Model-based Dynamic Optimization of the Production of Monoclonal-antibodies in Mammalian Cell Cultures ABSTRACT Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) constitute one of the leading products of the biopharmaceutical market with significant therapeutic and diagnostic applications. This has drawn increased attention to the intensification of their production processes, where model-based approaches can be utilized for successful optimization and control purposes. This presentation will discuss how to formu...

Growth of Some Novel Single Crystals from Aqueous Solutions for Optoelectronic Applications ABSTRACT Crystallization of single crystals has developed as an important field over many years, both for basic research and industrial applications in many scientific disciplines. The rapid development of optical communication systems has led to a demand for nonlinear optical materials for high performance in electronics, optoelectronics devices. Single crystals play an important role in the developmen...

Potential Contributions of Lignocellulosic Biorefineries for a Sustainable Future ABSTRACT The desire to have a more sustainable future, with lower emissions of carbon to the atmosphere, less dependency on oil, and a more appropriate reuse and valorization of wastes, has motivated society to change its habits and develop new processes for the production of compounds that meet its daily needs. Nowadays, the use of all the different components of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of val...

ABSTRACT Hybrid perovskites of the formula A2MX4, A: ammonium substituted organic cation, M: a divalent metal ion and X: a halogen (Cl, Br, I) have attracted considerable attention recently. Their applications include lead-free perovskite solar cell, optoelectronic, exitonic and self-assembly quantum well. The properties of these hybrid perovskites OIHs are functions of A, M and X and there are possibilities to tailor the structure, physical and chemical properties according to the technologica...

Osentia®:  A Novel Screening Tool for Fracture Risk ABSTRACT Osentia® is sold online (www.osentia.co.uk/) and through selected UK-based pharmacies. OsentiaÒ, invented by Mark Towler, exploits a patented algorithm that combines information around a subject’s protein structure with their clinical risk factors to determine relative risk of fracture. This presentation will consider how OsentiaÒ originated from basic research in Towler’s laboratory through its development in clinical ...

ICONIC: Improving the Crashworthiness of Composite Transportation Structures – an EU ITN ABSTRACT ICONIC is an Horizon 2020 funded Innovative Training Network (ITN) focused on crashworthiness of composites transportation structures. Led by Queens University Belfast, ICONIC is funding 15 “early-stage researchers” (ESRs) to obtain their Ph.D. at nine organisations around Europe. Besides performing technical research, the ESRs receive extensive technical and generic skills training throug...

Scaling up the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Markets Worldwide, air travel produced 781 million tonnes of CO2 from approximately 250 million tonnes of kerosene in 2015. This is approximately 2% of human produced CO2 and 12% of global transport emissions. Global passenger‐kilometres increase by 4‐5% annually, and historic improvements in aircraft fuel efficiency, operations and infrastructure contributed so far to a combined 1.5% emission reduction per year. As an island, Ireland depends st...
