Microbubbles enhanced synthetic phorbol ester degradation by ozonolysis (2014)
Journal Article
Kuvshinov, D., Siswanto, A., & Zimmerman, W. (2014). Microbubbles enhanced synthetic phorbol ester degradation by ozonolysis. International journal of chemical, molecular, nuclear, materials and metallurgical engineering, 8(1), 76-79

A phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (TPA) is a synthetic analogue of phorbol ester (PE), a natural toxic compound of Euphorbiaceae plant. The oil extracted from plants of this family is useful source for primarily biofuel. However this oil might also b...

Linking mineralisation process and sedimentary product in terrestrial carbonates using a solution thermodynamic approach (2014)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Pedley, H. M., Kelham, A., & Wadhawan, J. D. (2014). Linking mineralisation process and sedimentary product in terrestrial carbonates using a solution thermodynamic approach. Earth surface dynamics European Geosciences Union, 2(1), 197-216. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2-197-2014

Determining the processes which generate terrestrial carbonate deposits (tufas, travertines and to a lesser extent associated chemical sediments such as calcretes and speleothems) is a long-standing problem. Precipitation of mineral products from sol... Read More about Linking mineralisation process and sedimentary product in terrestrial carbonates using a solution thermodynamic approach.

The fuel cell model of abiogenesis: A new approach to origin-of-life simulations (2014)
Journal Article
Barge, L. M., Kee, T. P., Doloboff, I. J., Hampton, J. M., Ismail, M., Pourkashanian, M., Zeytounian, J., Baum, M. M., Moss, J. A., Lin, C. K., Kidd, R. D., & Kanik, I. (2014). The fuel cell model of abiogenesis: A new approach to origin-of-life simulations. Astrobiology, 14(3), 254-270. https://doi.org/10.1089/ast.2014.1140

In this paper, we discuss how prebiotic geo-electrochemical systems can be modeled as a fuel cell and how laboratory simulations of the origin of life in general can benefit from this systems-led approach. As a specific example, the components of wha... Read More about The fuel cell model of abiogenesis: A new approach to origin-of-life simulations.

Effects of cervical muscle fatigue on the perception of the subjective vertical and horizontal (2014)
