The first part of the article provides an overview of both single-axis and multi-axis wave energy converter (WEC) technology, with a particular focus on present and past prototype devices. The second part of the article considers a multi-axis concept device that has been developed and tank tested at Lancaster University by successive Master of Engineering project teams. TALOS is a point absorbe...

Although interest in redox flow batteries (RFBs) for energy storage has grown over the last few years, implementation of RFB technology has been slow and challenging. Recent developments in 3D-printing of materials enable a transforming technology for fast, reproducible and documented cell manufacture. This technology can give an improved engineering approach to cell design and fabrication, nee...

As a form of grey literature, scientific laboratory notebooks are intended to meet two broad functions: to record daily in-house activities as well as to manage research results. A major goal of this scientific electronic notebook project is to provide high quality resource discovery and retrieval capabilities for primary data objects produced in a multidisciplinary, biotechnology research labo...

Learning Institutions although often advanced in the development of curriculum, have remained static in the use of technology in teaching and learning. In a world where information communications technologies are much more accessible, we examine how educators can employ these technologies to present subject material in more interesting

Advanced downscaled Lokomat and HapticMaster platforms ready for clinical trials and ARMEO prototype with new features as an example of a " minimal configuration " .

The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a unique resource that lends itself especially well to a remote collaborative environment or virtual laboratory. The first of the ultrabright “third generation” synchrotron radiation facilities, it can serve hundreds of users who have a broad range of applications. These users come from all over the world at considerable trouble and expense, so a successful re...

BACKGROUND Accurate and reliable laboratory-based assays are needed for estimating HIV-1 incidence from cross-sectional samples. We recently described the development of a customized, HIV-1-specific Bio-Plex assay that allows for the measurement of HIV-specific antibody levels and avidity to multiple analytes for improved HIV-1 incidence estimates. METHODS To assess intra- and inter-laborator...
