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. …”

Evaluating the effect of n-butanol additive on particulate matter emission in diesel engine by Zhu, Qiren, Zong, Yichen, Tan, Yong Ren, Lyu, Jieyao, Yu, Wenbin, Yang, Wenming, Kraft, Markus

“…The addition of n-butanol can also reduce NOx emission (up to 25 %) because the lower mean chamber temperature caused by the lower heating value of n-butanol tends to reduce NOx emission although there is extra oxygen content in n-butanol. …”

Temperature drift characteristics analysis of GMM-FBG current sensor based on finite-element multi-physics simulations by Li, Ying, Sun, Weifeng, Zhang, Weichao

“…Even though temperature elevation suppresses GMM magnetization and thereby reduces the slopes of stress–strain curves, the steering magnetization of magnetic domains in the GMM rod tends to saturation without appreciable thermal inhibition in the high-stress region of large current excitation, while the magnetostrictive strain is still abated by the reduction in magnetic flux density caused by the thermal expansion of GMM rods. …”

Gate-level hardware priority resolvers for embedded systems by Balasubramanian, Padmanabhan, Maskell, Douglas Leslie

“…The estimated design metrics show that the modular approach tends to facilitate increasing reductions in delay and power-delay product (PDP) compared to the direct approach, especially as the size of the priority resolver increases. …”

A conserved MTMR lipid phosphatase increasingly suppresses autophagy in brain neurons during aging by Kovács, Tibor, Szinyákovics, Janka, Billes, Viktor, Murányi, Gábor, Varga, Virginia B., Bjelik, Annamária, Légrádi, Ádám, Szabó, Melinda, Sándor, Sára, Kubinyi, Enikő, Szekeres-Paracky, Cecília, Szocsics, Péter, Lőke, János, Mulder, Jun, Gulyás, Balázs, Renner, Éva, Palkovits, Miklós, Gulya, Károly, Maglóczky, Zsófia, Vellai, Tibor

“…MTMR14, the human counterpart of EDTP, also tends to accumulate with age in brain neurons. Thus, EDTP, and presumably MTMR14, promotes brain ageing by increasingly suppressing autophagy throughout adulthood. …”
