Polyurethane Nanofiber Membranes for Waste Water Treatment by Membrane Distillation

, 2017
Self-sustained electrospun polyurethane nanofiber membranes were manufactured and tested on a direct-contact membrane distillation unit in an effort to find the optimum membrane thickness to maximize flux rate and minimize heat losses across the membrane.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Photothermal-enhanced and fouling-resistant membrane for solar-assisted membrane distillation

, 2018
Membrane distillation (MD) has been gaining increasing attention as a promising alternative to the more conventional separation processes like distillation and reverse osmosis (RO), due to the higher rejection, lower fouling propensity and ability to ...

Solar membrane distillation: A control perspective [PDF]

2015 23rd Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED), 2015
This paper presents a preliminary architecture for controlling solar membrane distillation facilities. Membrane distillation (MD) is a desalination technology under investigation, without industrial applications and with only few pilot systems. There is a general lack of information on how these systems perform during real solar-powered operation and ...

Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 regulates cell adhesion and membrane protrusive activity of ovarian cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP9) drives ovarian cancer progression. Using MMP9‐null cells (M9‐KO) created from ovarian cancer cells, we found MMP9 loss did not block Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)‐driven E‐cadherin dissolution or EMT but delayed and reduced EGF‐driven membrane protrusions. Transient MMP9 re‐expression drove membrane protrusion.

Superior membrane distillation by induction heating of 3D rGO/Nafion/Ni foam for water treatment

, 2020
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising green technology that can harness waste or solar heat to treat water. Since such heat sources suffer from temporal variations, a complementary, efficient means is necessary.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Application Research of Thermoelectric Refrigeration in Air Gap Membrane Distillation System

Zhileng xuebao, 2013
A Parallel-Connected AGMD system was designed, which uses thermoelectric refrigeration instead of mechanical refrigeration to provide refrigeration capacity for membrane distillation. With the analysis of matching method between membrane distillation and

Effect of structure of PVDF membranes on the performance of membrane distillation

, 2015
Poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene), PVDF-HFP, hollow fiber membranes were prepared by the dry/wet spinning technique using different copolymer concentrations in the dope solutions ranging from 17 to 24 wt.%.
