Mechanistic insights into the membrane fouling mechanism during ultrafiltration of high-concentration proteins via in-situ electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) by Tanudjaja, Henry Jonathan, Ng, Angie Qi Qi, Chew, Jia Wei

“…The main takeaway for filtering feeds with high BSA concentrations is that higher steady-state flux could be achieved by averting internal fouling, either through using membranes with dense internal structures or lower MWCO.…”

Mitigation of membrane biofouling via immobilizing Ag-MOFs on composite membrane surface for extractive membrane bioreactor by Yuan, Guoyu, Tian, Yuxiao, Wang, Bingxin, You, Xiaofei, Liao, Yuan

“…The extractive membrane bioreactor (EMBR) combines an extractive membrane process and bioreactor to treat highly saline recalcitrant organic wastewater, in which the organic contaminations diffuse through a semi-permeable polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) composite membrane from the feed wastewater to the receiving biomedium. During the long-term EMBR operation, membrane biofouling is an inevitable phenomenon, which is one of the main obstacles impeding its wide applications. …”

From Opinion Dynamics to Collective Action: How Identity-Based Tolerance Leads to Political Extremism by Liang, Chen E.

“…We show that homogeneous groups, often seen as indicators of polarization, could paradoxically be key to reducing organized extremism when dominated by moderates who can effectively mobilize collective action while marginalizing extremists.…”

From Liquid to Stone: Reimagining the design of concrete structures for reuse by Donovan, Inge, Schnitzler, Jenna

“…In a future where buildings are increasingly seen as stockpiles for subsequent reuse, the reinvention of concrete structures is an imperative that presents an opportunity for a new tectonic – concrete is no longer a liquid poured once and cured on site, but instead is a material more akin to stone, retaining value across multiple lifespans.…”

Timbral Transformations by Shand, Jessica

“…In addition to the music at its core, the project interfaces with gender studies in its original exposition on timbre and timbral identity, includes a rigorous set of experiments with human and machine listeners, and makes original applications of multimodal language models not before seen in musicology or music theory. A live performance incorporating each of these project vectors and an audience discussion following the event offer further opportunities for reflection and critique.…”

The imagination of eco-disaster : post-disaster rebuilding in Asian cinema by Chu, Kiu-Wai

“…To contemporary film viewers, the ‘psychic numbing’ effect is apparent, and it does not apply merely to our perception of numbers, statistics, the big data. It can also be seen when we are bombarded with similar kinds of images over and over again; in this case, the large-scale tsunami, the hurricanes, the earthquake and all the exaggerated destruction scenes in recent disaster movies have become clichés no matter how realistic and intense the shots are made. …”
