Salts removal from RO concentrate during NEWater production by Ng, Shiong Yong.

“…This process involves the use of a semi-permeable membrane with very small pores which only allow very small molecules like water molecules to pass through. As a result, contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, nitrate, chloride, sulphate, disinfection by-products, aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides etc. cannot pass through the membrane. …”

B cell responses to conjugate and polysaccharide meningococcal vaccines by Ramasamy, M

“…This variability is enabled by the complexities of immunoglobulin variable domain gene recombination which can generate a vast potential repertoire of unique antibody molecules. However, the diversity of the antibody repertoire is more restricted against specific antigens and within defined B cell subsets. …”

Isolation and in vitro culture of bone marrow-derived macrophages for the study of NO-redox biology by Diotallevi, M, Nicol, T, Ayaz, F, Bailey, J, Shaw, A, McNeill, E, Davies, B, Channon, KM, Crabtree, MJ

“…Similarly, Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is used to support growth but contains a vast mixture of undefined molecules that may vary between batches. These methods are not adequate for the study of nitric oxide biology and redox mechanisms as they both contain substantial amounts of small molecules that either interfere with redox mechanisms or supplement levels of cofactors, such as tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), required for the production of NO from inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). …”
