Thermally induced phase separation PVDF membrane fabricated by using NaCl coagulation bath: relation of membrane surface morphology and permeation performance by Chen, Ningyuan, Zhao, Jie, Shi, Lei, Goto, Atsushi, Wang, Rong

“…As the NaCl concentration increases in the coagulation bath, the outer surface of the fabricated membrane transited from a mesh-like structure to a spherulite structure. As 0.5 mol L−1 NaCl was added to the coagulation bath, the membranes displayed a pure water permeability of 1073.9 L m−2 h−1 bar−1 while maintaining a narrow pore size distribution. …”

Evaluation of rabies awareness and the population dynamics of free-roaming and owned dogs in Herat city, Afghanistan by Nasiry, Zabihullah

“…Although the dog density is considered low, the dog bites rate and economic costs are considerable, so it still warrants caution since a proportion of the population is not well-versed about dogs and their importance of them in the transmission of zoonotic diseases like rabies. The information generated by this research can help to identify considerations for the design and implementation of dogs and rabies control programs.…”

Isotopes as a Tool for Exploring Exoplanet Atmospheres by Glidden, Ana

“…I simulated observations of CO₂ isotopologues in the H₂-dominated atmospheres of our nearest (< 40 pc), temperate (equilibrium temperature of 250-350 K) sub-Neptunes with M dwarf host stars. I find Earth-like fractionation of ¹³CO₂ to be distinguishable only if the atmosphere is H₂-dominated with a few percentage points of CO₂. …”
