Synthesis of Porous Inorganic Membranes [PDF]
Here we will attempt a brief overview of recent synthetic efforts for micropore and lower-end mesopore membranes. We will not address the very important classes of nonporous membranes, such as dense metals and solid electrolytes with applications in H_2 ...

A novel Reverse Electrodialysis application to generate power from low-grade heat [PDF]
A novel idea for the conversion of low-temperature heat into electricity is based on the generation of electricity from salinity gradients using a Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) device in a closed-loop system.

Carboxymethyl lysine induces EMT in podocytes through transcription factor ZEB2:Implications for podocyte depletion and proteinuria in diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). N-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) is one of the predominant AGEs that accumulate in all renal compartments of diabetic patients.

Permselectivities of Cation-exchange Membranes
強酸性樹脂および強塩基性樹脂より製造した不均質イオン交換膜における典型的な陽イオンの選択透過性を, 7 室電解槽により検討した。各室は予かじめ原液をみたしておき,希釈室では液を下方から上方へ流しつづけながら一定電流密度(2A/dm2)で電解透析を行ない,真中の濃縮室の試料液について毎時間ごとに各イオンの定量を行なった。イオンとして2成分系は(Na,Ca),(Na,Mg),(Ca,Mg),(NH4,Mg)の4種類について,3成分系ではCa2+,Mg2+を共通成分として,第3成分としてそれぞれH+,K+,NH4+,Na+を加えて行なった。原液の濃度は各成分約0,05Nを標準とし,Na+のみ例外的に0.5Nとした。2~4時間の電解透析において選択透過係数,すなわち当該イオンの濃縮比の比を比較した結果 ...
