Harnessing Macromolecular Crowding of Proteins for Engineering Sustainable Nanofiltration Membranes
SusMat, EarlyView.Novel biodegradable and solvent‐resistant nanofiltration membranes fabricated by harnessing the macromolecular crowding of zein protein induced by solvent interactions. Scattering experiments and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the macromolecular crowding formation and revealed the structural characteristics of the membranes.

Energy Conversion and Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Energy storage systems (ESSs) are increasingly critical for maintaining the stability and flexibility in power systems with rising renewable penetration. Grid‐forming (GFM) ESSs have emerged as a pivotal technology, capable of providing essential voltage and frequency support by establishing grid references in converter‐dominated systems. This

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Waste‐to‐biofuel (WTB) programs have gained popularity as a municipal circular economy and an emissions reduction strategy. The upgrading of biofuels to renewable natural gas (RNG) has drawn particular interest, as RNG can displace conventional fossil fuels in any existing natural gas end use and be delivered through existing pipeline ...

Development of hybrid force-position controller for ultrasound-guided breast biopsy robotic system [PDF]
, 2018 Conventional ultrasound-guided breast biopsy (UGBB) procedure is commonly performed to assess abnormal masses within the breast. It requires a radiologist to handle multiple devices at once, which could reduce the abilities in performing such procedure ...

The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer preferences for renewable fuels in Quebec, with a particular focus on a solar fuel produced through artificial photosynthesis. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) and both conditional logit (CL) and random parameters logit (RPL) models, we estimate marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for key fuel attributes,
