Performance enhancement of ultrafiltration membrane via simple deposition of polymer-based modifiers by Tian, Miao, Wang, Rong, Goto, Atsushi, Mao, Weijia, Miyoshi, Yasuyuki, Mizoguchi, Hirotaka

“…In this work, a group of synthesized hydrophilic random copolymers and homopolymer were utilized to enhance PES UF membrane performance by a simple deposition of a thin layer. Despite the increased intrinsic resistance as a result of the thin modification layer, higher pure water permeability and recovery rate were observed for the modified Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane during Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) fouling test in comparison to the virgin membrane. …”

On convection driven by surface tension caused by transient heat conduction by Tan, Ka Kheng, Thorpe, Rex B.

“…The onset of convection caused by surface tension (ST) during transient cooling of a thin layer of liquid is investigated. This study shows that it can be predicted by a newly defined transient Marangoni number Ma, which incorporates the mode and rate of cooling, where a non-linear temperature profile develops continuously until instability sets in. …”

Evaluating the merits of ranking in structured network pruning by Sharma, Kuldeep, Ramakrishnan, Nirmala, Prakash, Alok, Lam, Siew-Kei, Srikanthan, Thambipillai

“…However, recent studies on widely used DNNs, such as VGG-16, have shown that selecting and preserving salient channels using pruning criteria is not necessary since the plasticity of the network allows the accuracy to be recovered through fine-tuning. In this work, we further explore the value of the ranking criteria in pruning to show that if channels are removed gradually and iteratively, alternating with fine-tuning on the target dataset, ranking criteria are indeed not necessary to select redundant channels. …”

Deposition of highly oriented diamond films by microwave plasma enhanced CVD by Liao, Xiao Ning.

“…Among the parameters, gas composition and microwave power were found to be the two most influential factors for the textured growth of diamond thin films. Substrate temperature also has a significant effect on the textured growth whereas the influence of gas pressure and flow rate was not significant.…”
