The need for effective apparel waste management is motivated by the increasing cost and decreasing availability of landfill space and the dwindling of natural resources. The aim of this study was to identify the current solid waste disposal and recycling practices of the apparel industry in South Africa and to determine their attitude and willingness towards recycling, their perception of the f...

According to Microsoft, over one-third of all data loss is the result of accidental file deletion or modification (Microsoft, 2003). The Volume Shadow Copy Service is a Windows operating system service that archives key data and system settings. This allows Windows 7 and Windows Vista to recover from accidental data deletion and from destabilizing events, such as a virus attack or the incorrect...

Supercritical fluid technology is a new technology being extensively studied in the past two decades. The research on application of supercritical fluid to PCB recycling is an attempt to equip the recycling industry with the state-of-the-art technique to achieve better economic benefits and environmental objectives. Through the exploratory research and the systematic study, it is proved that th...

The aerobic oxidation of 1-phenylethanol over a carbon nanotube supported palladium catalyst was improved with an ionic liquid additive [emim][NTf(2)], showing an excellent TON of 149,000 which can be maintained for 5 recycle runs.

A new awareness on modelling is growing in the control-oriented community recognising the fact that control is dominantly model based. Since control is about manipulating certain characteristics of the plant, it is no surprise that modelling for control focuses on extracting exactly those characteristics of the plant that are to be controlled. This invariably induces the use of time scale assum...

The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediates cholesterol homeostasis through endocytosis of lipoprotein particles, particularly low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). Normally, the lipoprotein particles are released in the endosomes and the receptors recycle to the cell surface. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the LD...
