• A hierarchical optimisation of a compressed natural gas station for energy and fuelling efficiency under a demand response program 

  Kagiri, Charles; Zhang, Lijun; Xia, Xiaohua (MDPI Publishing, 2019-06-06)

  Compressed natural gas stations serve customers who have chosen compressed natural gas powered vehicles as an alternative to diesel and petrol based ones, for cost or environmental reasons. The interaction between the ...
• Mycobacterium bovis Infection in African wild dogs, Kruger National Park, South Africa 

  Higgitt, Roxanne L.; Van Schalkwyk, O. Louis; De Klerk-Lorist, Lin-Mari; Buss, Peter E.; Caldwell, Peter; Rossouw, Leana; Manamela, Tebogo; Hausler, Guy A.; Hewlett, Jennie; Van Helden, Paul D.; Parsons, Sven D.C.; Miller, Michele A. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019)

  We screened African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in Kruger National Park, South Africa, for Mycobacterium bovis infection using an interferon-gamma release assay. We detected M. bovis sensitization in 20 of 21 packs; overall ...
• Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 with blaOXA-181, South Africa, 2014–2016 

  Lowe, Michelle; Kock, Marleen M.; Coetzee, Jennifer; Hoosien, Ebrahim; Peirano, Gisele; Strydom, Kathy-Anne; Ehlers, M.M. (Marthie Magdaleen); Mbelle, Nontombi Marylucy; Shashkina, Elena; Haslam, David B.; Dhawan, Puneet; Donnelly, Robert J.; Chen, Liang; Kreiswirth, Barry N.; Pitout, Johann D.D. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019-04)

  Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 307 is an emerging global antimicrobial drug–resistant clone. We used whole-genome sequencing and PCR to characterize K. pneumoniae ST307 with oxacillinase (OXA) 181 carbapenemase ...
• Computational study on thermal energy around diamond shaped cylinder at varying inlet turbulent intensity 

  Bhattacharyya, Suvanjan; Dey, Kunal; Hore, Rajdeep; Banerjee, Arnab; Paul, Akshoy Ranjan (Elsevier, 2019-02)

  Transport phenomena over a diamond shaped cylinder (DC) at varying inlet turbulent intensity is reported in the work. An infinite diamond cylinder bluff body with hydraulic diameter D is investigated numerically. The ...
• Optimization of the operational cost and environmental impact of a multi-microgrid system 

  Gildenhuys, Tiaan; Zhang, Lijun; Ye, Xianming; Xia, Xiaohua (Elsevier, 2019-02)

  A multi-objective optimization model is developed for a multi-microgrid system, which not only minimizes its operational cost but also the emissions. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated by comparing its ...
