A push–pull–mooring view on technology-dependent shopping under social distancing: when technology needs meet health concerns by Wang, Xueqin, Wong, Yiik Diew, Liu, Feng, Yuen, Kum Fai

“…Anchored on the push–pull–mooring framework, our findings suggest that consumers’ health concerns (push factors), technology needs (pull factors), task–technology fit considerations (mediators) and pandemic-induced psychological states (mooring factors) are all critical contributors to the adoption of technology-dependent shopping with varied explanatory powers. …”

Exploring the limitations of osmotically assisted reverse osmosis: membrane fouling and the limiting flux by Peters, Christian D., Li, Dan, Mo, Zijing, Hankins, Nicholas P., She, Qianhong

“…While both surface flushing and osmotic backwashing (OB) were found to be highly effective when using pure water, a full flux recovery could not be achieved when a nonpure solution was used during OB due to severe internal clogging during OB. All in all, the presented findings provided significant implications for OARO operation and fouling control.…”
