A simple numerical technique is presented for batch membrane filtration design. The underlying model accounts for variable solute rejection coefficients, and it has a modular structure which permits to easily describe the batch process involving different ...
Patterning of micro- and nanometer scale structures by means of nanostencils (shadow masks) is increasingly being used as a simple, clean and low-cost alternative to photolithography. Currently, large area pattern transfer using nanostencil lithography is ...
Heavy metal environmental contaminants cannot be destroyed but require containment, preferably in concentrated form, in a solid or immobile form for recycling or final disposal. Microorganisms are able to take up and deposit high levels of contaminant meta ...
The von Neumann architecture was first expressed in 1945 and has largely dominated in many variants and refinements computer science for more than half a century. Alternative architectures always occupied a marginal place only, despite a growing need for n ...
Maintaining the integrity of their protective plasma membrane is a primary requirement of cells. Accordingly, cellular events that breach the membrane are tightly regulated1. Artificial vesicles used in drug delivery must also stay intact until they have r ...
In order to predict metal bioavailability by microorganisms in natural waters, analytical speciation techniques such as the permeation liquid membrane (PLM) are required. A planar sheet PLM has been characterized by measuring Pb fluxes in the absence and p ...
The phosphoinositides (PIs) are membrane phospholipids that actively operate at membrane-cytosol interfaces through the recruitment of a number of effector proteins. In this context, each of the seven different PI species represents a topological determina ...
This paper introduces the notion of Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations generated by the vertices of a piecewise flat, triangulated surface. Based on properties of such structures, a generalized flip algorithm to construct the Delaunay triangulati ...
Changes in sample concentrations of CO2 or organic acids cause potential instabilities when polymer membranes are directly applied to the surface of ion-selective field-effect transistors (ISFETs). Currently used designs avoid this well-documented effect b ...
