Synthesisation, characterisation and water adsorption on novel functional metal organic frameworks for heat transformation process by Han, Bo

“…Due to some striking properties such as high microporosity with structure diversity, promising isotherms and kinetics characteristics and outstanding thermal stability, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as the potential adsorbent in recent years. This thesis aspires to develop the thermodynamic frameworks of AHT from entropy flow and generation points of view employing the experimentally confirmed isotherms and kinetics of novel functionalised metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs). …”

A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…Although COVID-19 temporarily reduced delays due to decreased traffic, many large hubs have now returned to pre-pandemic levels, with strong growth expected in the coming years. Air traffic management divides the airspace into three sections: the airport control zone (taxiing, takeoff, landing), the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA, for climbs and descents), and the en-route airspace (cruise). …”
