    High-speed photometry of SDSS J013701.06 − 091234.9
    (2004) Pretorius, M L; Woudt, P A; Warner, B; Bolt, G; Patterson, J; Armstrong, E
    We present high speed photometry of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey cataclysmic variable SDSS J013701.06-091234.9 in quiescence and during its 2003 December superoutburst. The orbital modulation at 79.71pm0.01 min is double humped; the superhump period is 81.702pm0.007 min. Towards the end of the outburst late superhumps with a period of 81.29pm0.01 min were observed. We argue that this is a system of very low mass transfer rate, and that it probably has a long outburst interval.

    Modelling of bioleach processes: connection between science and engineering
    (Elsevier, 2010) Petersen, J
    This paper gives a brief introduction to the modelling of bioleach processes, developed from a careful analysis of the fundamental process steps at the gas–liquid, biological and mineral interfaces, and how these interact in a given reactor environment (tanks and heaps). The insights gained from such modelling work can guide both engineers in the optimisation of processes and scientist in directing their research at areas not yet well understood. From this perspective, some future directions of the bioleaching field are discussed.
