The electromembrane process, which has advantages such as scalability, sustainability, and eco-friendliness, is used in renewable energy fields fuel cells reverse electrodialysis power generation. Most of the research to visualize internal flow process mainly been conducted on heterogeneous ion exchange membranes, because non-uniform swelling characteristics homogeneous membrane. In this study,...

The recent Keystone Symposium on Lipid Rafts and Cell Function (March 23-28, 2006 in Steamboat Springs, CO) brought together biophysicists, biochemists, and cell biologists to discuss the structure and function of lipid rafts. What emerged from the meeting was a consensus definition of a membrane raft: "Membrane rafts are small (10-200 nm), heterogeneous, highly dynamic, sterol- and sphingolipi...

Cavitation damage to membranes is a major barrier for developing an ultrasound (US)-assisted membrane water treatment process. In this study, US was integrated heterogeneous Fenton reactor the of pharmaceutical-containing with aims i) fouling control, ii) enhancement oxidation. order prevent damages due cavitation, stable and violent cavitation regions were identified by quantification analysis...

in this study the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was investigated in a simulated tubular sodalite membrane reactor. the high quality microporous sodalite membrane was synthesized by direct hydrothermal method and characterized by single gas permeation measurements. the performance of the prepared membrane showed high potential for application in a dehydrogenation membrane ...

in this study, polystyrene ethylene butylene polystyrene (psebs) was functionalized to prepare mono and bipolar ion exchange membranes. in the case of the bipolar membrane, platinum was used as the intermediate layer. nacl solution of concentration ranging from 5 g/l to 25 g/l was used as the feed solution. a commercially procured ion exchange membrane made of polystyrene divinyl benzene was al...

Mitochondrial membrane potential varies, depending on energy demand, subcellular location, and morphology and is commonly used as an indicator of mitochondrial functional status. Electrophoretic mobility is a heterogeneous surface property reflective of mitochondrial surface composition and morphology, which could be used as a basis for separation of mitochondrial subpopulations. Since these pr...

Lateral diffusion of cell membrane constituents is a prerequisite for many biological functions. However, the diffusivity (or mobility) of a membrane-bound species can be influenced by many factors. To provide a better understanding of how the conformation and location of a membrane-bound biological molecule affect its mobility, herein we study the diffusion properties of a pH low insertion pep...
