Hatchability of <i>Fascioloides magna</i> Eggs in Cervids by Tibor Halász, Tamás Tari, Eszter Nagy, Gábor Nagy, Ágnes Csivincsik

“…The currently accepted terminology determines three types of final hosts: definitive, dead-end, and aberrant hosts. Recently, roe deer (<i>Capreolus capreolus</i>) has been classified as an aberrant host, which cannot contribute to the reproduction of <i>F. magna</i>. …”

The “Polyploid Hop”: Shifting Challenges and Opportunities Over the Evolutionary Lifespan of Genome Duplications by Pierre Baduel, Sian Bray, Mario Vallejo-Marin, Filip Kolář, Filip Kolář, Levi Yant, Levi Yant

“…Despite this, the evolutionary advantages of polyploidy are still questioned, and the debate over the idea of polyploidy as an evolutionary dead-end carries on. Here we broadly synthesize the newest empirical data moving this debate forward. …”

Urea-assisted one-step synthesis of cobalt ferrite impregnated ceramic membrane for sulfamethoxazole degradation via peroxymonosulfate activation by Bao, Yueping, Lim, Teik-Thye, Wang, Rong, Webster, Richard David, Hu, Xiao

“…The catalytic membrane was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX) and applied for the catalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation under a dead-end membrane filtration mode for the first time. …”

Impact of particle shape and surface group on membrane fouling by Tanis-Kanbur, Melike Begum, Tamilselvam, Navin Raj, Lai, Hsiao Yu, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Although higher crossflow velocities diminished the differences in the critical flux values among the particles of different surface charges, the differences among the particle shapes remained distinct. In dead-end filtration, non-spherical particles also produced lower flux declines. …”

Modelling the effects of phylogeny and body size on within-host pathogen replication and immune response by Banerjee, S, Perelson, A, Moses, M

“…Our models lend mechanistic insight into why some species (smaller passerine species) are pathogen reservoirs and some (larger non-passerine species) are potentially dead-end hosts for WNV. Our techniques give insights into the role of body mass and host phylogeny in the spread of WNV and potentially other zoonotic diseases. …”

Fractionation of catfish protein hydrolysates using ultrafiltration membrane by Novin, Donya

“…Regenerated cellulose (RC) membranes of 5kDa and 10 kDa were employed in dead-end ultrafiltration mode. The selection of best parameters was based on the highest transmission considering the appropriate amount of permeate flux. …”

Thin film nanocomposite membrane incorporated with silver-carbon nanotube hybrid for desalination by Mohd. Ripin, Norzeti Hanani

“…The resultant TFN membranes exhibited enhanced hydrophilicity, porosity and surface roughness, which in turn improved the overall membrane performance. Evaluation using dead-end reverse osmosis revealed that TFN membranes enhanced the water permeability without trade-off in salt rejection and the structural parameter (S) was reduced, indicating the suppression of internal concentration polarization. …”
