Dynamics of water and solute transport in polymeric reverse osmosis membranes via molecular dynamics simulations

open access: yes, 2016
The Angstrom-scale transport characteristics of water and six different solutes, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, urea, Na+, and Cl-, were studied for a polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, FT-30, using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD ...

Cracked Metal–Phenolic Networks with Durable Confinement Capillarity for Enhanced Solar Desalination

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nature‐inspired cracks are introduced into photothermal metal–phenolic networks (C‐MPNs). These crack patterns can be controlled to optimize water flow, enabling confinement capillarity to enhance the evaporation rate while preventing salt fouling. The cracks also serve as a buffer zone to significantly enhance the stability of the C‐MPNs, overcoming ...

Osmosis, osmometry, and osmoregulation [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 1999
Summary The maintenance of adequate body fluid volume and the correct distribution of this fluid between the body compartments is a critical part of homeostasis. The process of osmosis plays an important role in movement of fluid within the body and the use of osmometry is an important part of the management of many patients. In addition

Robust Mix‐Charged Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels for Ultra‐Efficient Atmospheric Water Harvesting and Evaporative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional atmospheric water‐harvesting hydrogels prioritize hygroscopicity at the expense of mechanics, hindering its practical applications. The proposed hygroscopic mix‐charged polyzwitterionic hydrogel(THMPH) achieves a trade‐off between high water absorption and exceptional mechanical robustness through a strength gradient‐enhanced ionic cross ...

Method for the preparation of thin-skinned asymmetric reverse osmosis membranes and products thereof [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
A method for preparing water insoluble asymmetric membranes from water soluble polymers is discussed. The process involves casting a film of the polymer, partially drying it, and then contacting it with a concentrated solution of a transition metal salt.

OLB: A Nature Inspired Approach for Load Balancing in Cloud Computing

open access: yesCybernetics and Information Technologies, 2015
Load balancing is treated as one of the important mechanisms for efficient resource allocation in cloud computing. In future there will appear a necessity of fully autonomic distributed systems to address the load balancing issues. With reference to this,

Electrochemical Cell Designs for Efficient Carbon Dioxide Reduction and Water Electrolysis: Status and Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses recent innovations in electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (eCO2RR) and hydrogen evolution reaction cell designs. The latest advancements in in situ cells for operando characterization are also presented. Optimizations in flow patterns, membrane electrode assemblies, electrolyte engineering, and counter‐anodic reactions provide

Change in fluoride content of Maltese tapwaters : implications for oral health [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Dietary intake of fluoride is believed to be largely derived from drinking water. In Malta, tap water presently contains less fluoride than is found in naturally occurring ground water obtained from aquifers.
