High performance composite membranes comprising Zn(pyrz)2(SiF6) nanocrystals for CO2/CH4 separation by Gong, Heqing, Chuah, Chong Yang, Yang, Yanqin, Bae, Tae-Hyun

“…Subsequently, high-quality mixed-matrix membranes that are free of filler/polymer interfacial voids were successfully fabricated by employing house-made polyimide as a polymer matrix. Binary CO2/CH4 mixture gas permeation tests revealed that both CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity of mixed-matrix membranes, especially for the membrane with 20 wt% filler loading, were significantly improved compared to those of pure polymeric membrane owing to the selective CO2 uptake and transport by Zn(pyrz)2(SiF6) crystals. …”

Obama's energy policy: the crucial role of coal in the US climate legislation by Robinson, D

“…</p> <p>This article examines some of the pressures that have weakened the environmental integrity of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACESA), which recently passed through the House of Representatives. Producers and consumers of coal and of coal-based electricity (i.e. the ‘coal lobby’, including companies, workers and consumers of different sizes in these sectors and more generally citizens in the regions where the companies operate) are the main losers from climate legislation; compensating them and helping them to prepare for the future has come at a price.…”

Streamlined boiling lysis DNA extraction for Gram-positive aquaculture pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae by Habib, Syahir, Azmai, Mohammad Noor Amal, Md Yasin, Ina-Salwany, Masdor, Noor Azlina

Fringe projection profilometry method with high efficiency, precision, and convenience: theoretical analysis and development by Lv, Shenzhen, Tang, Dawei, Zhang, Xuejun, Yang, Dongyu, Deng, Weijie, Qian, Kemao

“…Our study indeed reveals a series of important system properties, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time: (i) in phase measurement, the optimal and worst fringe angles are proven perpendicular and parallel to epipolar line, respectively, and can be considered as system parameters and can be directly made available during traditional calibration, highlighting the significance of the epipolar line; (ii) in correspondence, when two sets of fringes with different fringe orientations are projected, the highest correspondence precision can be achieved with arbitrary orientations as long as these two orientations are perpendicular to each other; (iii) in reconstruction, a higher reconstruction precision is given by the 4-equation methods, while we notice that the 3-equation methods are almost dominatingly used in literature. …”
