This paper highlights tensions in the continuity of coloniality and the decoloniality of gender as represented within portrayals of new women in Bollywood, through an analysis of the heroines’ dance, sexuality, anger and consumption. This reading of Bollywood’s new women alludes to the (im)possibility of decolonising gender in South Asia, arguing t...
Using in-depth interview data of young adults who participated in the University of Kent student occupation, this paper 1) explores the process by which young people enter into and engage in high-intensity mobilisation and 2) seeks to understand how this mobilisation (and prior engagement) impacts future political trajectories of these youth activi...
Photocatalysis is one of the most promising technologies in wastewater treatment. However, the inactivity to visible light and the inconvenience to recycle severely limit its practical application. In this work, via a facile hydrothermal method, Fe3O4 NPs were integrated onto the surfaces of 3D ball-flower-like MoS2 microspheres as efficiently visi...
Based on numerous high-resolution seismic profiles, sediment waves and their distribution, morphological characteristics, internal structure, and potential origins were revealed in the eastern waters of Taiwan. The sediment waves are located at the junction between the Taitung Canyon and other canyons in the slope. The wave length and the wave heig...
Wave tank tests were carried out to evaluate the total efficiency of a floating OWC Pentagonal Backward Bent Duct Buoy (PBBDB). Two kinds of turbine generators were used in tests. The incident wave power, pneumatic power and electricity were measured. The test results show that the primary efficiency can reach up to 185.98% in regular waves and 85....
The methane hydrate formation and the methane hydrate dissociation behaviors in montmorillonite are experimentally studied. Through the analyses of the microstructure characteristic, the study obtains the porous characteristic of montmorillonite. It is indicated that methane hydrate in montmorillonite forms the structure I (si) crystal. Meanwhile, ...
2,5-dimethyfuran (DMF), which is produced from 5-hydroxymethyfurfural (HMF) by hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), is a high quality fuel due to the high heating value, the high octane number and the suitable boiling point. Selective hydrogenation of HMF into liquid fuel DMF has been widely researched. In this paper, Co3O4 catalyst was prepared by co-precipi...
Recent studies have shown that specific geochemical characteristics of sediments can be used to reconstruct past methane seepage events. In this work, the correlation between the Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios of sediment samples is analyzed and the sulfate concentration profile in Site C14 from cold-seep sediments in the Qiongdongnan Basin in northern Sou...
This review intends to introduce the application of lignin-derived catalyst for green organic synthesis over latest two decades and aims to present a renewable alternative for conventional catalyst for future industry application. The structure of lignin is initially introduced in this review. Then, various pretreatment and activation technologies ...
