Special Issue: Progress in Membrane Engineering for Food and Biotechnology Industries

Progress of Membrane Engineering for Water Treatment

Together with the supply of energy and the environmental protection, fresh water is one of the three keys elements for the sustainable development of every society. Where the availability of water cannot be carried out by using conventional sources, unavoidable appears the resort of the major water source: the sea. Today, RO is one the most used membrane processes for the production of fresh wa...

Biotechnology in Nutrition and Food Engineering

These lactic acid bacteria and probiotic microorganisms in fermented foods have been used for many years for health reasons and are now an attractive alternative for treating of intestinal disorders and seem to influence the immune system via stimulating protective immune cells. Through genetic engineering, it is possible to strengthen the effect of existing probiotic [8] strains and create com...

Membrane Engineering for Today and for Tomorrow

Special issue: Progress in shoulder biomechanics.

This special issue presents papers that arose from the bi-annual International Shoulder Group (ISG) meeting in Minneapolis in July 2010. The ISG is a collaboration of mostly biomechanically oriented research groups, whose main interest is in the shoulder. It was founded in 1989 and has been a Technical Group of the International Society of Biomechanics since 1999. The ISG aims to enhance should...
