Robust polyamide-PTFE hollow fibre membranes for harsh organic solvent nanofiltration by Francis, Verona Nithya, Chong, Jeng Yi, Yang, Guoying, Che, Lei, Wang, Rong

“…The membranes also showed excellent stability and performance in a 72-hour OSN test performed in DMF indicating their great potential in effective molecular separation in harsh solvents. This study demonstrates how a simple modification and coating technique can transform commercially available microfiltration PTFE hollow fibres into durable and high value OSN membranes.…”

Six-year removal of co-dominant grasses alleviated competitive pressure on subdominant grasses but dominant shrub removal had neutral effects in a subalpine ecosystem by Li, Wenjin, Knops, Johannes M. H., Png, Kenny Guochen, Yan, Xi, Dong, Huan, Li, Jinhua, Zhou, Huakun, Sierra, Rubén Díaz

“…The ‘stress-gradient hypothesis’ predicts increasing facilitative interactions with increasing environmental stress, but it remains unclear if the prevailing type of interaction (i.e. facilitative or competitive) between dominant and subordinate plant species occurring in harsh environments is dependent on the plant functional type. …”

Circularly polarized patch antennas for nano-satellite communication system by Wang, Zuo Yuan.

“…Due to the use of printed circuit techniques we are able to etch the required antenna on a PCB board, fabricating antennas on compliant substrates which is able to withstand high pressure and harsh environment. As communication equipments are getting smaller, taking on different shapes and sizes, patch antennas are light weighted, low-profile, conformal thus able to be mount on easily, low in manufacturing cost and are able to integrate with microwave integrated circuits as well therefore it is suitable to be used in communication systems. …”
