Spatial and spatiotemporal variation in metapopulation structure affects population dynamics in a passively dispersing arthropod

, 2015
The spatial and temporal variation in the availability of suitable habitat within metapopulations determines colonization-extinction events, regulates local population sizes and eventually affects local population and metapopulation stability.

Mixed Adsorption Mono- and Multilayers of ß-Lactoglobulin Fibrils and Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate

Colloids and Interfaces
The formation of beta-lactoglobulin (BLG)/sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) complexes decelerates the change in the surface properties of the mixed solutions with the surface age and increases the steady-state dilational surface elasticity in a narrow ...

Effect of heating rate on gas emissions and properties of fired clay bricks and fired clay bricks incorporated with cigarette butts [PDF]

, 2015
In general, the firing process of clay bricks generates a range of gas emissions into the atmosphere. At high concentrations, these volatile emissions can be a serious source of environmental pollutions.

Polyelectrolyte multilayer membranes: An experimental review

Desalination
Within just two decades, polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) membranes have moved from invention to their world wide application. One key advantage of these membranes is their versatility, allowing easy optimization through various tuning parameters. But it is exactly this versatility that has made it difficult to fairly compare PEM membranes. Previously,

Polyelectrolyte Multilayering on a Charged Planar Surface

, 2003
The adsorption of highly \textit{oppositely} charged flexible polyelectrolytes (PEs) on a charged planar substrate is investigated by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. We study in detail the equilibrium structure of the first few PE layers.
