Shape Changes of Self-Assembled Actin Bilayer Composite Membranes
, 1997 We report the self-assembly of thin actin shells beneath the membranes of giant vesicles. Ion-carrier mediated influx of Mg2+ induces actin polymerization in the initially spherical vesicles.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Development of Composite Membranes as Selective Adsorbent for Yttrium Ion
International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013 Polybenzimidazole based composite membranes (65 TSAD, 50 TSAD and 35 TSAD) were prepared by incorporating different amounts (wt %) of inorganic hetero poly acids (IHAD) into polybenzimidazole (PBI) matrix.

Comparison of the performance of two reverse osmosis membranes for the final purification of olive mill wastewater [PDF]
, 2015 Two quite different reverse osmosis (RO) polymeric membranes were examined for the final purification of olive mill wastewater from two-phase olive mills (OMW2): the first one is a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane consisting of polyamide active layer ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Water Transport in Composite Membranes Containing Silica: Temperature and Relative Humidity Effects
International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2011 The aim of this work is to show the water flux across composite proton exchange membranes containing silica and SBA-15 fillers. The experiments were carried out using a gated cell in order to control the temperature and relative humidity (80 to 100 ºC ...

Model selection and model averaging on mortality of upper gastrointestinal bleed patients [PDF]
, 2018 Model Selection (MS) is known to produce uncertainty into model-building process. Besides that, the process of MS is complex and time consuming. Therefore, Model Averaging (MA) had been proposed as an alternative to overcome the issues.
