Mapping the Salinity Gradient in a Microfluidic Device with Schlieren Imaging [PDF]
Sensors, 2015 This work presents the use of the schlieren imaging to quantify the salinity gradients in a microfluidic device. By partially blocking the back focal plane of the objective lens, the schlieren microscope produces an image with patterns that correspond to

Use of a saline gradient for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 The development of novel methods for parasitological diagnosis that are both highly sensitive and low in cost has been strongly recommended by the World Health Organization. In this study, a new technique for diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni is proposed based on the differential sedimentation of eggs when subjected to a slow continuous flux of 3 ...

Salinity Gradients for Sustainable Energy: Primer, Progress, and Prospects
Environmental Science & Technology, 2016 Combining two solutions of different composition releases the Gibbs free energy of mixing. By using engineered processes to control the mixing, chemical energy stored in salinity gradients can be harnessed for useful work. In this critical review, we present an overview of the current progress in salinity gradient power generation, discuss the ...

Ion-plus salinity gradient flow Battery
Chemical Engineering Science, 2022 A Salinity Gradient Flow Battery (SGFB), as a novel energy-converting system, offered an alternative solution for the large-scale storage of renewable energy. Nevertheless, the commercialization of SGFB had been halted because the relatively high ohmic solution resistance in the low salinity solution. We proposed an “Ion-plus SGFB” system by internally-

Impact of secondary salinisation on the structure and diversity of oligochaete communities
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 Secondary salinisation has become one of the most important factors responsible for changes in the aquatic biota. Earlier research has focused on macroinvertebrates including oligochaetes in anthropogenically saline rivers and streams, but studies on ...
