Tailoring Crosslinked Polyether Networks for Separation of CO ₂ from Light Gases

Tailoring the Characteristics of Poly (phenylene-ether-ether) sulfone Membrane for Efficient Glycerol/Biodiesel Separation

Poly (phenylene-ether-ether) sulfone membrane was fabricated and characterized by efficient glycerol/biodiesel separation produced from waste cooking oils trans-esterification. The membrane preparation was processed by phase inversion technique. The morphology, Physico-chemical properties and separation behavior of membranes were studied at various PPEES concentration. A uniform surface was...

Cooperative Co-Evolving Neural Networks for Robosoccer Simulation

Tailoring Artificial Neural Networks for Optimal Learning

As one of the most important paradigms of recurrent neural networks, the echo state network (ESN) has been applied to a wide range of fields, from robotics to medicine to finance, and language processing. A key feature of the ESN paradigm is its reservoir —a directed and weighted network— that represents the connections between neurons and projects the input signals into a high dimensional spac...

Desorption Kinetics of Polyether Lubricants from Surfaces

Desorption or evaporation is one of the mechanisms for loss of perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPE) lubricants from the surfaces of data storage media. One approach to minimizing PFPE loss to desorption is the use of lubricants with increasing molecular weight or increasing average chain length. In order to understand the effects of chain length on the lubricant evaporation kinetics we have studied t...
