Engineering pressure retarded osmosis membrane bioreactor (PRO-MBR) for simultaneous water and energy recovery from municipal wastewater by Liu, Shuyue, Song, Weilong, Meng, Manli, Xie, Ming, She, Qianhong, Zhao, Pin, Wang, Xinhua

“…More importantly, a considerable amount of energy can be recovered by PRO-MBR (4.1 kWh/100 m2·d), as a result of which, 10.02% of the specific energy consumption (SEC) for water recovery was reduced as compared with FO-MBR (from 1.42 kWh/m3 to 1.28 kWh/m3). Membrane orientation largely determined the performance of PRO-MBR, higher power density was achieved in AL-DS orientation (peak value of 3.4 W/m2) than that in AL-FS orientation (peak value of 1.4 W/m2). …”

Investigating factors contributing to enhancer-promoter interaction by Cornell, LJ

“…This assay also revealed the unexpected importance of gene orientation relative to their enhancers, such that maximum enhancer-induced activation is achieved when the genes are in their native orientation, whilst in the reverse orientation transcription is impeded. …”

Single-Shot Quantitative Polarization Imaging of Complex Birefringent Structure Dynamics by Ge, Baoliang, Zhang, Qing, Zhang, Rui, Lin, Jing-Tang, Tseng, Po-Hang, Chang, Che-Wei, Dong, Chen-Yuan, Zhou, Renjie, Yaqoob, Zahid, Bischofberger, Irmgard, So, Peter T. C.

“…Polarization light microscopes are powerful tools for probing molecular order and orientation in birefringent materials. While a number of polarization microscopy techniques are available to access steady-state properties of birefringent samples, quantitative measurements of the molecular orientation dynamics on the millisecond time scale have remained a challenge. …”

Developing a web app in conjunction with a honey dehydrator by Sim, Yang Kai

“…Studies have shown that the typical moisture content of honey ranges from 21 to 28%, an undesirable range for long periods of storage considering the fact that honey with moisture content above 17% contributes to the fermentation of honey[1]. In order to prevent the degradation of honey quality, dehydrating honey as a means to reduce moisture content should be considered. …”
