A comparison of ROChem reverse osmosis and spiral wound reverse osmosis membrane modules [PDF]

, 1992
Testing of the ROChem Disc Tube[reg sign] reverse osmosis (RO) module's performance on biologically active feed waters has been completed. Both the ROChem module (using Filmtec standard-rejection seawater membranes) and the Filmtec spiral-wound membrane module (using Filmtec high-rejection seawater membranes) were tested with stimulant solutions ...

Eosinophils‐Induced Lumican Secretion by Synovial Fibroblasts Alleviates Cartilage Degradation via the TGF‐β Pathway Mediated by Anxa1 Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.

Shape‐Selective Molecular Separations Enabled by Rigid and Interconnected Confinements Engineered in Conjugated Microporous Polymer Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conjugated microporous polymer membranes with narrowly distributed network pores are prepared by diffusion‐modulated electropolymerization. This approach precisely controls the monomer diffusion and coupling processes, regulating the crosslinking degree to prevent broad aggregate pores and microporous defects.

Cardiomyocyte‐Enriched USP20 Ameliorates Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy by Targeting STAT3 Deubiquitination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cardiomyocyte‐enriched USP20 regulates the K63‐linked ubiquitination of STAT3, and the cardiomyocyte‐specific USP20‐STAT3‐CARM1 axis exerts a protective role in cardiac hypertrophy. Targeting USP20 through cardiac‐specific gene therapy presents a promising strategy for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

Pretreatment for Reverse Osmosis Systems [PDF]

, 2011
Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are very sensitive to fouling by seawater or brackish water on which desalination is conducted. In this chapter, the nature of foulants, the mechanism of fouling and the methods of monitoring and diagnosis of RO fouling are discussed.

Microporous Polymer Membranes: Molecular Stents Enhanced Solvent‐Accessibility for Organic Solvent Transport

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel microporous polyimide (PI‐TB‐NDI) is designed for enhanced organic solvent nanofiltration. By incorporating o‐methyl groups into the Tröger's base (TB) unit to create molecular stents, the polymer's intrinsic free volume is effectively increased without the need for post‐treatment.
