Hydrophobic eutectic solvent‐engineered membranes for highly permeable, selective, and antifouling pharmaceutical removal from municipal wastewater

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Single‐step incorporation of a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) into polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes via non‐solvent induced phase separation creates selective, antifouling membranes for pharmaceutical removal. The HDES nanodomains enhance permeability, electrostatic interactions, and adsorption affinity, enabling efficient and ...

Imaging porosity evolution of tight sandstone during spontaneous water imbibition by X-ray Micro-CT

Heliyon
Water imbibition is an important process in reservoir rocks during hydraulic fracturing and water-based enhanced oil recovery operations. However, the water imbibition behavior in tight sandstones has not been fully understood due to their complex pore ...

Shared Waters, Shared Responsibility: Solving Collective Action Problems in an Upstream‐Downstream Setting

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The governance of shared water systems requires collaboration across diverse stakeholders. In this study we advance the theoretical understanding of asymmetric collective action problems (CAPs) by reassessing the role of third‐party interventions and emphasizing the strategic importance of policy brokers and institutional venues.

The In Vitro Transgenic Rodent Assay in Primary MutaMouse Hepatocytes Compared to the Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Assay Using the HPRT Gene

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene mutations can be detected in mammalian cells in vitro using indicator genes such as the hypoxanthine‐guanine‐phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene. These assays have been adopted as OECD test guidelines (TG, e.g., OECD TG no. 476) and are used for regulatory purposes.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our

Improved Amott Method to Determine Oil Recovery Dynamics from Water-Wet Limestone Using GEV Statistics

Energies
Counter-current spontaneous imbibition of water is a critical oil recovery mechanism. In the laboratory, the Amott test is a commonly used method to assess the efficacy of brine imbibition into oil-saturated core plugs.
