We study the relationship between local structural ordering and dynamical heterogeneities in a model glass-forming liquid, the Wahnström mixture. A novel cluster-based approach is used to detect local energy minimum polyhedral clusters and local crystalline environments. A structure-specific time correlation function is then devised to determine their temporal stability. For our system, the lif...

This article presents a robust Morse theory-based framework for segmenting 3D X-ray computed tomography image (CT) and computing the fabric, relative arrangement of particles, granular ensembles. The includes an algorithm segmentation, data structure storing segmentation representing both individual particles connectivity network, visualizations topological descriptors CT that enable interactiv...

We have investigated a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions. The sub-micron particles stabilized oil-in-water emulsions at all pH with and without salt. All emulsions creamed but exhibited exceptional resistance to coalescence. Clear correlations exist between the properties of the microgels in aqueous dispersion and the resul...

Suspended particulate matter in ambient air is today recognised as an important process and environmental issue. Besides adverse health effects, the performance of many machines and industrial processes are adversely affected by suspended particles. A number of devices, wet and dry, are in use for capture of particles. One such wet scrubbing device, gravitational scrubbers are simple in constru...
