Process intensification by integration of distillation and vapor permeation or pervaporation - An academic and industrial perspective

Since membrane separations, such as vapor permeation (VP) or pervaporation (PV), are not limited by vapor-liquid equilibrium, their coupling with distillation can exert a synergistic effect, overcome the Peelers thermodynamic limits of distillation, and improve energy efficiency, especially suitable for the separation of azeotropic mixtures that ot

Comparison of Synchronization Indices: Behavioral Study

The synchronization of a neuronal response to a given periodic stimulus is usually measured by Goldberg and Brown's vector strength metric.This index does not take omitted spikes into account.This particular limitation has motivated the development of two new indices: the Stool corrected vector strength index and the corrected phase variance in

Immune-Related Genetic Overlap Between Regional Gray Matter Reductions and Psychiatric Symptoms in Adolescents, and Gene-Set Validation in a Translational Model

Adolescence is a period of vulnerability for the maturation of gray matter (GM) and also for the onset of psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.Chronic neuroinflammation is considered to play a role in the etiology of these illnesses.However, the involvement of neuroinflammation in the obs

The Emergence of Physiology and Form: Natural Selection Revisited

Natural Selection describes how species have evolved differentially, but it is descriptive, non-mechanistic.What mechanisms does Nature use to accomplish Gravy and Sauce Boats this feat? One known way in which ancient natural forces affect development, phylogeny and physiology is through gravitational effects that have evolved as mechanotransductio
