Local characterisation of fluid flow in sandstone with localised deformation features through fast neutron imaging

Understanding fluid flow through rocks is of key interest in hydrocarbon production and CO(2) sequestration, amongst other applications. Such fluid injection or extraction from subsurface reservoirs can be significantly modified (increased or decreased) by deformation and in particular by localised deformation features (fractures, shear bands and compaction bands). How such deformation alters flui

On the Ecology of Saprotrophic Fungi and Bacteria in Soil: Biotic and Abiotic Control of Growth Rates

Two groups of organisms dominate the decomposition in soil: fungi and bacteria. One of the most important parameters to optimise for any organism is its growth, and thus a direct way to study the effect of environmental factors on fungi and bacteria in soil is to measure their growth rate. However, methodological constraints have historically prevented this direct approach in soil. Using leucine/t

Leveraging network and traffic measurements for content distribution and interpersonal communication services with sufficient quality

In this paper, we discuss research problems for enabling content distribution and supporting real-time interpersonal communication services (e.g. voice and video) over best effort networks with sufficient quality. We take a practical view of content distribution and quality, and this is the reason for the term “sufficient”. We argue that the understanding of quality as perceived by the user is a k
