“…It follows the flickering presence of gender in the exchanges between René Descartes and Elisabeth of Bohemia, and in Descartes’s work on the passions, before asking whether we might find better sources for a gendered affect in forms of religious writing addressed to women such as that of François de Sales. It proposes that to glimpse gender in early modern affect writing we must learn to read against the grain.…”

In situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles in poly(vinyl) alcohol layer coated thin film membrane for seawater desalination by Jayavardhana D/o Balaji

“…The permeability of MPVA1-0.2 membrane reduced insignificantly by 8.4% compared to the control membrane without PVA coating layer, achieving PWP of 3.1 L/m2 .h.bar with excellent salt rejection of 99.28%. The observed improvement in the salt rejection of the PVA-coated membrane was owing to the additional selectivity and stability provided by the hydrophilic PVA layer. …”
