High-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (HRXCT) or micro-CT (μCT) is a frequently
used non-destructive 3D imaging and analysis technique for the investigation of internal …

The specific aim of this study was to gain insight into the influence of scaffold pore size, pore
shape and permeability on the in vitro proliferation and differentiation of three-dimensional …

The size and shape characterization of irregular particles is a key issue in many fields of
science, which is often associated with large uncertainties. We assess existing protocols and …

Samples of coal from the Sydney and Bowen Basins of eastern Australia have been imaged
at high resolution using a large-field, 3D microfocus X-ray computed tomography (μCT) …

The potential applications of microCT scanning in the field of archaeobotany are only just
beginning to be explored. The imaging technique can extract new archaeobotanical …

Coal has been playing an important role as a valuable source of energy for many years. In
turn, gas production from coal reservoirs is a modern development and coal bed methane …

Aqueous dissolution rate measurements of nuclear glasses are a key step in the long-term
behavior study of such waste forms. These rates are routinely normalized to the glass …

An understanding of the petrogenesis of magmatic systems can be achieved by studying
their constituent parts (eg crystals) and their chemical trends. Magmas are often travelling …

The aim of our work is to prepare mucoadhesive particles with biopolymers and 5-
Aminosalicylic acid (5ASA) using the ionotropic gelation technique to ensure a controlled …

Explosive volcanic eruptions can produce vast amounts of volcanic ash made up mainly of
fragments of magmatic glass, country rock and minerals< 2 mm in size. Ash particles forming …
