Behaviours of natural organic matter in membrane filtration for surface water treatment : a review [PDF]
Membrane application in surface water treatment provides many advantages over conventional treatment. However, this effort is hampered by the fouling issue, which restricts its widespread application due to increases in hydraulic resistances, operational

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Thermally Modulated Specular Phonon Transport in a High‐Debye‐Temperature Diamond Nanobeam
Thermal transport in single‐crystal diamond nanobeams is measured from 140 to 300 K using electro‐thermal micro‐suspended structures. The thermal conductivity shows an increasing deviation from Boltzmann transport predictions assuming fully diffuse boundary scattering at lower temperatures.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis and control of a hydraulic press electro-hydraulic servo system
The internal electro-hydraulic servo system of a hydraulic press is affected by the non-linear friction, and it becomes non-linear, unstable under vibration. In this study, the dynamic behavior and control of such a system were investigated.
