Storability of sugar beets acessed by their microbiome
Sugar loss due to storage rot is still an economically important factor in the sugar industry. The colonization of saprophytic fungi such as Fusarium and Penicillium spp. during... -
Disease incidence in sugar beet is connected to microbial diversity
Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L.) are grown in temperate regions primarily for sugar production, but also to harness alternative energy. Various pathogens that infect the crop... -
Some Ferroic Perovskite Solid Solutions
We are examining various perovskite solid solutions based on NaNbO3 or BiFeO3 that havepromising ferroelectric or multiferroic properties. All of these solid solutions show... -
Local structural effects in doped NaNbO3 ferroelectrics
Derivatives of the perovskite NaNbO3 are currently being studied as benign replacements for piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3. In order to understand the structure-composition-property... -
Determination of structure of stress-induced martensite in NiTi shape memory ...
The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic... -
Characterising PWHT Residual Stresses in Dissimilar Metal Welds (P92/In625).
Welds in safety critical applications are subject to structural integrity assessments where residual stress plays a key part. Because residual stress predictions are unreliable,... -
The Definitive Sodium Niobate Phase Diagram?
NaNbO3 has long been regarded as the 'most complex' perovskite known, with at least seven different phases reported as a function of T, at least two of which have evaded all...
