Petrogenesis of Permian high-Mg diorites in the northern margin of the North China Craton: Evidence of crust–mantle interaction by Li, M, Xu, X, Palin, RM

“…In light of the above, we propose a two-stage process for the formation of the Xinhure high-Mg diorite, comprising (1) partial melting of enriched mantle peridotite followed by (2) interaction between mantle-derived high-Mg diorite melts and continental crust-derived melts. …”

Fine-tuning selective layer architecture of hydrogel membrane towards high separation performances for engineered osmosis by Qin, Detao, Liu, Zhaoyang, Bai, Hongwei, Song, Xiaoxiao, Li, Zhengtao, Sun, Darren Delai

“…Analysis of reverse osmosis (RO) experimental results reveals hydrogel layer resistance to water permeation is linearly reduced by 1.40 × 1013 m−1 as the layer is tailored thinner per 10 nm, which leads to the remarkable enhancement of water permeability by ~10 times from 0.49 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 of 500 nm thickness to 4.75 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 of 30 nm thickness. …”
