The potential roles of granular activated carbon in anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactors : effect on membrane fouling and membrane integrity by Wu, Bing, Wong, Philip Chuen Yung, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…GAC can exhibit two major beneficial roles in reducing membrane fouling, namely, (1) GAC scours the membranes to limit the cake layer formation and facilitate cake layer removal; (2) GAC tends to absorb potential foulants to reduce the interaction of foulants with the membranes. …”

Cluster-based information fusion for probabilistic risk analysis in complex projects under uncertainty by Zhang, Limao, Wang, Ying, Wu, Xianguo

“…This paper proposes a hybrid soft computing approach that integrates the Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory and cluster analysis for probabilistic risk analysis in complex projects under uncertainty. The fusion model tends to solve multi-criteria decision-making problems with a focus on the information content reflected from evidence. …”

A molecular dynamics simulation to shed light on the mechanical alloying of an Al-Zr alloy induced by severe plastic deformation by Morkina, Alina Y., Babicheva, Rita I., Korznikova, Elena A., Enikeev, Nariman A., Edalati, Kaveh, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…This happens because in the second case, grain boundary sliding is the main deformation mechanism, and Zr tends to remain within the interfaces. In contrast, the involvement of dislocations in the case of normal orientation of grain boundaries with Zr segregation significantly contributes to deformation and facilitates better dissolution of Zr in the Al matrix. …”
