Ammonia is a promising carbon-free fuel, but current methods to produce ammonia are energy intensive. New methods are thereby needed, with one promising method being electrochemical nitrogen reduction cells. Efficient cell operation requires robust c...
Transport systems play a pivotal role in bacterial physiology and represent potential targets for medical and biotechnological applications. However, even in well-studied organisms like Escherichia coli, a notable proportion of transporters, exceedin...
A simple model is developed for membrane fouling, taking into account two main fouling phenomena: cake formation, due to attached solids on the membrane surface, and pore clogging, due to retained compounds inside the pores. The model is coupled with...
Extracorporeal gas exchange therapies evolved considerably within the first three–four decades of their appearance, and have since reached a mature stage, where minor alterations and discrete fine-tuning might offer some incremental improvement...
The mass transfer behavior in a hollow fiber membrane module of membrane-based artificial organs (such as artificial liver or artificial kidney) were studied by numerical simulation. A new computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method coupled with K-K eq...
The gas transport properties of thin film composite membranes (TFCMs) with selective layers of PolyActive™, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polyoctylmethylsiloxane (POMS) were investigated over a range of temperatures (10–34 °C; temp...
The operation of coal-fired power plants generates a large amount of wastewater. With the issuance of increasingly strict drainage standards, the cost of wastewater treatment is increasing, and the need to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment is b...
Among the most prevalent neurological disorders, epilepsy affects about 1% of the population worldwide. We previously found, using human epileptic tissues, that GABAergic neurotransmission impairment is a key mechanism that drives the pathological ph...
An amorphous silicon oxycarbide membrane supported on a silicon nitride membrane substrate was prepared. A starting suspension containing polyhydromethylsiloxane (PHMS), tetramethyltetravinyl-cyclotetrasiloxane (TMTVS) and a platinum catalyst was fir...
The interaction between anesthetic Isoflurane (Iso) and model-biomembrane on the water surface has been investigated using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and quartz crystal impedance (QCI) methods. The model-biomembranes used were dipalmitoyl phos...
