Positively-Coated Nanofiltration Membranes for Lithium Recovery from Battery Leachates and Salt-Lakes: Ion Transport Fundamentals and Module Performance by Foo, Zi Hao, Liu, Suwei, Kanias, Lucy, Lee, Trent R., Heath, Samuel M., Tomi, Yasuhiro, Miyabe, Tomotsugu, Keten, Sinan, Lueptow, Richard M., Lienhard, John H.

“…Over 8000 ion rejection measurements are recorded using salt lake brines and battery leachates. The experiments exemplify the coated membrane's ability to reduce magnesium concentrations to 0.14% from salt lakes and elevate lithium purity to 98% from battery leachates, in a single filtration stage. …”

Ethnic differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to dietary salt intake and association with hypertension in Malaysia: a multi-centre cross-sectional study by Chia, Yook Chin, Ching, Siew Mooi, Chew, Ming Tsuey, Devaraj, Navin Kumar, Oui, Jethro Ee Keat, Lim, Hooi Min, Chew, Bee Nah, Mohamed, Mohazmi, Ooi, Pei Boon, Cheng, Maong Hui, Beh, Hooi Chin, Chung, Felicia Fei-Lei

“…The association between high salt intake and elevated blood pressure levels has been well-documented. …”

Uncomputability and Physical Law by Lloyd, Seth

“…In particular, the form of the energy spectrum of quantum systems capable of universal computation is uncomputable: to answer whether a Hamiltonian system is gapped or gapless in a particular sector requires one to solve the Halting problem. Finally, the problem of determining the most concise expression of physical laws requires one to determine the algorithmic complexity of those laws, and so, the answer to this problem is uncomputable.…”

Within-host evolution of HIV-1 and the analysis of transmissible diversity by English, SE

“…<p>The central problem for researchers of HIV-1 evolution is explaining the apparent design of the virus for causing pandemic infection in humans: understanding how HIV-1 spreads is key to halting the pandemic. Current knowledge of how HIV-1 spreads from host to host is based upon experimental observation and indirect inferences informed by theory. …”

Recycled melanoma-secreted melanosomes regulate tumor-associated macrophage diversification by Parikh, Roma, Parikh, Shivang, Berzin, Daniella, Vaknine, Hananya, Ovadia, Shai, Likonen, Daniela, Greenberger, Shoshana, Scope, Alon, Elgavish, Sharona, Nevo, Yuval, Plaschkes, Inbar, Nizri, Eran, Kobiler, Oren, Maliah, Avishai, Zaremba, Laureen, Mohan, Vishnu, Sagi, Irit, Ashery-Padan, Ruth, Carmi, Yaron, Luxenburg, Chen, Hoheisel, Jörg D, Khaled, Mehdi, Levesque, Mitchell P, Levy, Carmit

“…Our findings suggest that interactions mediated by second-hand extracellular vesicles contribute to the formation of the metastatic niche, and that blocking the melanosome cues of macrophage diversification could be helpful in halting melanoma progression.…”

Highly stretchable, elastic, and ionic conductive hydrogel for artificial soft electronics by Zhou, Yang, Wan, Changjin, Yang, Yongsheng, Yang, Hui, Wang, Shancheng, Dai, Zhendong, Ji, Keju, Jiang, Hui, Chen, Xiaodong, Long, Yi

“…The proposed ionic conductive hydrogel is achieved by physically cross-linking the tough biocompatible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel as the matrix and embedding hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) biopolymer fibers inside matrix followed by salt solution soaking. The wrinkle and dense structure induced by salting in PVA matrix provides large stress (1.3 MPa) and strain (975%). …”

Thermally induced phase separation PVDF membrane fabricated by using NaCl coagulation bath: relation of membrane surface morphology and permeation performance by Chen, Ningyuan, Zhao, Jie, Shi, Lei, Goto, Atsushi, Wang, Rong

“…The inclusion of NaCl in the coagulation bath serves to decrease the solubility of PEG within this medium, owing to the salting-out effect. Consequently, the NaCl concentration in the coagulation bath emerges as a crucial factor in regulating the migration of PEG400 toward the membrane surface. …”

Mathematical modelling of water filtration by Tan, Cindy Xin Yu

“…Saline water can be desalinized with the use of reverse osmosis, wherein a mixture of water and dissolved salt molecules is forced by a high pressure pump through a semi-permeable membrane, preventing the bigger salt molecules from getting through the holes of the membrane but allowing the tinier water molecules to do so. …”
