Process economics and operating strategy for the energy-efficient reverse osmosis (EERO) process by Chong, Tzyy Haur, Krantz, William B.

“…The energy-efficient reverse osmosis (EERO) desalination process was recently developed for cost-effective high total water recovery. It feeds the retentate from one or more single-stage reverse osmosis (SSRO) stages in series to a countercurrent membrane cascade with recycle (CMCR) consisting of a terminal reverse osmosis (RO) stage and one or more low salt-rejection stages. …”

Testing the effect of ecolabels on the environmental impact of food purchases in worksite cafeterias: a randomised controlled trial by Luick, M, Stewart, C, Clark, M, Bateman, P, Biggs, E, Cook, B, Little, M, Wren, GM, Jebb, SA, Pechey, R

“…Conclusions: Ecolabels may not be an effective tool to shift consumer behaviour in worksite cafeterias towards meals with lower environmental impact. Trial registration: The study was pre-registered prospectively on ISRCTN (https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10268258; 06/01/2022).…”

Effects of membrane chlorination on performance of reverse osmosis and nano-filtration membranes by Ho, Yung Lin.

“…The rejection and permeability of PEG for NF90 have the same trend as the salt but slightly lower performance. This concludes that besides physiochemical changes, chlorination has affected the membrane performance which is chlorine concentration and membrane chemistry-dependent.…”

The role of perceived stress and gender on portion selection patterns by Cheon, Bobby Kyungbeom, Lim, E. X., Sim, A. Y., Forde, C. G.

“…Across two studies, increased perceived stress predicted larger (higher energy) intended portion sizes across a variety of food items among females, but not males. Additionally, for females, increased perceived stress was associated with lowered expectations of the satiety of foods presented, suggesting a potential mechanism by which stress may influence decisions about portion size. …”
