Water Flux Induced Reorientation of Liquid Crystals. [PDF]
ACS Cent Sci, 2017 It is well understood that the adsorption of solutes at the interface between a bulk liquid crystal phase and an aqueous phase can lead to orientational or anchoring transitions. A different principle is introduced here, whereby a transient reorientation of a thermotropic liquid crystal is triggered by a spontaneous flux of water across the interface ...

Preparation and Characterization of the Forward Osmosis Membrane Modified by MXene Nano-Sheets
Membranes, 2022 The Forward Osmosis (FO) membrane was the core of FO technology. Obtaining a high water flux while maintaining a low reverse solute flux has historically been considered the gold standard for a perfect FO membrane.

Timescale dependence of environmental and plant‐mediated controls on CH4 flux in a temperate fen [PDF]
, 2007 This study examined daily, seasonal, and interannual variations in CH4 emissions at a temperate peatland over a 5‐year period. We measured net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE), CH4 flux, water table depth, peat temperature, and meteorological parameters ...

Soil hydrology and soil properties on a partially reforested hillside in the Central Alps
Journal of Forest Science, 2012 The landscape on southern exposed hillsides in the inneralpine Vinschgau Valley (Northern Italy) is shaped by many thousand years of cultivation. Phases of intensive land use and deforestation were followed by phases of natural regeneration and later by ...

Ultrasound enhancement of microfiltration performance for natural organic matter removal [PDF]
, 2007 Sonication of water at 1500 W power prior to microfiltration showed that short sonication times (60 s) gave a reduced flux decline. It is suggested that a less potent, smaller molecular form of the natural organic matter (NOM) was produced by sonication.
