Accurately monitoring blood glucose in real-time is highly required for diabetes. Utilizing membrane to realize fast separation of a trace significant accurately testing glucose. In this work, we designed Janus with thin film composite structure by electrospinning polyurethane (PU) on Ca3(PO4)2-coated nylon mesh. This exhibited directional liquid transport performance and wastage reduction duri...

Key-Words: ADSL, VDSL, G.Lite, xDSL, ATM, Transmission Convergence sub-layer, ASIC

membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...

More recently, the concept of integrated forest biorefinery (IFBR) has received much attention as a promising solution for the struggling forest industry in North America and Europe to overcome its difficult financial period and competes globally. This new business paradigm offers a broad range of potentially attractive products, from bioenergy to value-added green organic chemicals in addition...

Spacers are used in spiral wound and plate and frame membrane modules to create flow channels between adjacent membrane layers and mix fluid within the flow channel. Flow through the spacer has a significant beneficial impact on mixing and resulting mass transfer rates but is accompanied by an undesirable increase in pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used to eva...

The apical plasma membrane of differentiated superficial urothelial cells is characterised by the presence of asymmetric unit membrane (AUM). Cyclophosphamide (CP) metabolites cause perforation of these thickened membranes. In this study, apical plasma membranes were examined after CP injection by electron microscopy. The immediate effect of the CP metabolites was observed as small round holes ...
