Magnetron sputtered TiO2 films on a stainless steel substrate: Selective rutile phase formation and its tribological and anti-corrosion performance.
(Article)In this work, TiO2 films on 316L stainless steel have been formed by non-reactive magnetron sputtering of TiO2 target. The effect of a titanium underlayer on the crystalline phase of the TiO2 film has been investigated in ... -
Maintenance outsourcing: A step towards Product Service Systems
(Article)Intense competition in the current global business environment and the need to increase profit have caused companies to seek competitive advantage through the provision of services. In this new service-oriented world ... -
Making connections between final year students and potential project supervisors
(Conference)A web-based final year project management system, ProMS, has been created and deployed to help coordinate undergraduate final year projects including automating practical tasks such as the submission of documents. ProMS ... -
Making Legacy Thermal Storage Heating fit for the Smart Grid
(Article)Thermal storage heaters, charged using overnight off-peak electricity, have been used for domestic space heating in the UK and other countries since the 1980s. However, they have always been difficult for consumers to ... -
Making plastic remember: electrically rewritable polymer memory devices.
(Conference)Organic based electronic memory devices are currently receiving an unprecedented amount attention as possible alternatives for conventional semiconductor memories, due to their simple device structures, ease of fabrication, ... -
Management of Demand Profiles on Mini-Grids in Developing Countries Using Timeslot Allocation
(Conference)Stand-alone mini-grids provide vital energy access to rural communities across the Developing World where economic constraints necessitate optimal cost-effectiveness without compromising reliability or quality of service. ... -
Management of nature-based goods and services provisioning from the urban common: a pan-European perspective
(Article)The role of the urban common (i.e. shared space and resources) in sustainable provisioning of goods and services to city dwellers is discussed in this paper. Focusing on tree-based green infrastructure, the study scope ... -
Managing complexity in the smart grid through a new approach to demand response
(Article)Adoption of weather-dependent renewable generation of electricity has introduced additional complexity to the challenge of maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between generation and electricity demand. At the same time the ... -

Marangoni condensation of steam-ethanol mixtures on a horizontal low-finned tube
(Article)Careful heat-transfer measurements have been conducted for condensation of steam-ethanol mixtures in vertical downflow over a horizontal, water-cooled, low-finned copper tube. Care was taken to avoid error due to the ... -
Marginalisation of Off-grid Energy Sector in Sri Lanka: What Lessons could be Learnt?
(Article)Renewable energy based off-grid projects have played a crucial role in Sri Lanka’s universal electrification effort. The paper in this context unravels two crucial and quite interrelated aspects ... -
Mass flow rate of fine and cohesive powders under differential air pressure
(Article)Air-powder interactions are of practical importance in the production of pharmaceuticals, food and high value added chemicals manufactured using powders. For examples, air-powder effects enable consistent and effective ... -
Mathematical modelling and validation of the drying process in a chimney-dependent solar crop dryer
(Article)A simulation procedure describing the drying process within a Chimney-Dependent Solar Crop Dryer (CDSCD) has been developed. The simulation follows the authors’ experimental work on the effect of varying drying chamber ... -
Mathematical modelling of a hydraulic controller for PRV flow modulation
(Conference)The main purpose of this paper is to describe a new experimental setup for testing static and dynamic behav-iour of the AQUAI-MOD® hydraulic controller coupled with a standard PRV, as well as to develop mathe-matical models ...
