Molecular sieving is based on mobility differences of species under extreme confinement, i.e. within pores molecular dimensions.

Linseed flax is a multipurpose crop. It cultivated for its seeds and particularly oil. The main contributors this crop are Canada, France Belgium. In general, straws of linseed buried in the fields or burnt. However, these solutions not good practices environment from an economical point view. study, (six batches total) with different dew retting durations harvesting techniques were studied to ...

Metal–polymer coordination strategy replaced covalent crosslinking, and improved the chemical resistance of membranes without sacrificing their molecular sieving performance.

The role electrical charge plays in determining glomerular permeability to macromolecules remains unclear. If the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) has any significant role in permselectivity, physical principles would suggest a negatively charged GBM would reject similarly charged more than neutral species. However, recent in vivo studies with negative and neutral glomerular probes showed the...

Sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia) is a weed species that has contaminated soybean and other crops. Although sicklepod continues to be a problem weed, the advent of herbicide-resistant soybeans has reduced the problem somewhat in the last few years. Sicklepod seed contains a gum of commercial interest in addition to protein and fat. An inexpensive process to enrich gum and protein contents of sickl...

The fabrication of molecular gas sieving materials with specific affinities for a single gas species and able to store large quantities of materials at a low or atmospheric pressure is desperately required to reduce the adverse effects of coal and oil usage in carbon capture. Fundamental understanding of the dynamic adsorption of gas, the diffusion mechanisms across thin film membranes, and the...

Light isotopes separation, such as (3)He/(4)He, H2/D2, H2/T2, etc., is crucial for various advanced technologies including isotope labeling, nuclear weapons, cryogenics and power generation. However, their nearly identical chemical properties made the separation challenging. The low productivity of the present isotopes separation approaches hinders the relevant applications. An efficient membra...

In order to determine the infl uence of recovery techniques with water (fl otation and wet sieving) on carbonized plant remains, a certain amount of wheat, barley, millet, horsebean and lentil macrofossils from archaeological sites was taken and treated with water. Moist recovery was also applied to in-laboratory, artifi cially, charred barley, millet and lentil samples. After the treatments, t...

Progression to end-stage renal disease is common in chronic nephropathies, independent of the initial insult. While genetic factors may contribute to susceptibility and progression of renal disease, proteinuria has been documented as an independent predictor of outcome. Reduction of urinary protein levels by restoration of glomerular sieving function with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers...
