The preparation and characterization of alumina membranes with ultra-fine pores : Part 3. The permeability for pure liquids [PDF]
This paper reports on the permeability of alumina membranes with pore diameters of a few nanometers for pure liquids. It appears that the volume flux corrected for viscosity differences depends on the type of permeant.

Growth and membrane permeability of two submersed macrophytes in response to ammonium enrichment
Increased ammonium (NH4+) concentrations are reported to be an important cause of decline in submersed macrophytes in eutrophic lakes. In this study, a subacute experiment was conducted to examine the effects of various NH4+ concentrations on growth and ...

Neutron diffraction reveals sequence-specific membrane insertion of pre-fibrillar islet amyloid polypeptide and inhibition by rifampicin [PDF]
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) forms amyloid deposits in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Pre-fibrillar hIAPP oligomers (in contrast to monomeric IAPP or mature fibrils) increase membrane permeability, suggesting an important ...
