Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts by Palermo, Rose V, Ashton, Andrew D, Soderblom, Jason M, Birch, Samuel PD, Hayes, Alexander G, Perron, J Taylor

“…Applying this framework to Titan, we find that the shorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded by waves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates at fetch lengths of tens of kilometers.…”

Preparation of low-pressure water softening hollow fiber membranes by polyelectrolyte deposition with two bilayers by Rajabzadeh, Saeid, Liu, Chang, Shi, Lei, Wang, Rong

“…A salt water flux (SWP) of 12 LMH/bar and 94% Mg2 + rejection was obtained by depositing only two bilayers of PSS/PAH polyelectrolytes on the PES substrate, while for the 3000 ppm mixed salt solution, the water permeability was 11 LMH/bar with Mg2 + and Ca2 + rejection as high as 90%. …”

Polyamide-imide hollow fiber membranes crosslinked with amine-appended inorganic networks for application in solvent-resistant nanofiltration under low operating pressure by Lim, Siow Kee, Setiawan, Laurentia, Bae, Tae-Hyun, Wang, Rong

“…The development of polyamide-imide (PAI) hollow fiber membranes for solvent-resistant nanofiltration (SRNF) in polar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) under low operating pressure of 2 bar is reported in current study. Highly porous PAI substrates were fabricated and crosslinked with (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS). …”

Methane precipitation in ice giant atmospheres by Toledo, D, Rannou, P, Irwin, PG, de Batz de Trenquelléon, B, Roman, M, Apestigue, V, Arruego, I, Yela, M

“…Voyager-2 radio occultation measurements have revealed changes in the atmospheric refractivity within a 2–4 km layer near the 1.2-bar level in Uranus and the 1.6-bar level in Neptune. …”

Clouds and hazes in Saturn's troposphere and stratosphere by Merlet, CTC

“…Near-infared VIMS data between 4.5 and 5.1 <em>μ</em>m are mainly sensitive to deeper tropospheric levels down to approximately 5 bar. At such pressure levels, thermochemical models predict the formation of condensed clouds made of ammonia and ammonium hydrosulphide ices, although none of these species has been spectrally detected so far. …”
