(Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2012:3, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-31)The papers presented in the present study aim to elucidate the complex fluid dynamic phenomena in a cold dense phase fluidized bed reactor. Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted with this aim and several ... -
An experimental investigation of rapid boiling of CO2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-27)Storage of pressurized liquified gases is a growing safety concern in many industries. Knowledge of the thermodynamics and kinetics involved in the rapid depressurization and evaporation of such substances is key to the ... -
An experimental study of temperatures in cloud from release of flashing liquid CO2 in 3m long channel.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Flashing of the liquid CO2 is an accidental hazards that may occurs in many industrial sector such as, process industries, carbon capture and storage projects, crude oil extraction process etc. Sometimes the accidental ... -
An exploration of factors associated with older persons’ perceptions of the benefits of and satisfaction with a preventive home visit service.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Preventive home visits (PHV) are healthcare services aimed at promoting the health of home-dwelling older people, and to support their abilities to live independently. To enhance effectiveness, studies that ... -
An In Situ Experimental Study of Effects on Submerged Vegetation After Activated Carbon Amendment of Legacy Contaminated Sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Activated carbon (AC) amendment has been shown to reduce bioavailability of hydrophobic contaminants in the bioactive layer of sediment. Unwanted secondary effects of AC amendment could be particularly undesirable for ... -
An Integrated Process and Outcome Evaluation of a Web-Based Communication Tool for Patients With Malignant Lymphoma: Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background The complex nature of the medical dialogue and the often emotional context in cancer care present challenges to health care professionals (HCPs) and patients. Patients are increasingly expected to be informed ... -
An intervention designed to improve sensory impairments in the elderly and indoor lighting in their homes: an exploratory randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Vision and hearing impairments in the elderly (aged over 80 years) and poor indoor lighting conditions in a home-care setting are risk factors for functional decline, reduced social participation, withdrawal, ... -
An investigation of the process of change in psychopathology and exercise during inpatient treatment for adults with longstanding eating disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Excessive exercise is recognized as a predictor of poor outcome in eating disorders. However, little is known about how excessive exercise might affect the treatment process. The aim of this study was to describe ... -
An mHealth Intervention for Persons with Diabetes Type 2 Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Principles: Examining Treatment Fidelity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Web-based interventions are becoming an alternative of treatment aimed to support behavioral changes and several advantages over traditional treatments are reported. New ways of delivering an intervention may ... -
