Biofouling has been one of the major challenges impacting the long-term stable operation of ultrafiltration processes. Irreversible biofouling is considerably more harmful than reversible biofouling. Conductive membrane, as a new technology to effectively mitigate membrane fouling, lack research of controlling irreversible biofouling.

The urgent need for sustainable, low-emission energy solutions has positioned proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) as a promising technology in clean energy conversion. Polysulfone (PSF) membranes with incorporated ionic liquid (IL) and hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane-functionalized silica (SiO-PDMS) were developed and characterized for their potential application in PEMFCs. Using a phase inversion method, membranes with various combinations of PSFs, SiO-PDMS, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate (BMI.

Background/objectives: Adult hearing-impaired patients qualifying for cochlear implants typically exhibit less than 60% sentence recognition under the best hearing aid conditions, either in quiet or noisy environments, with speech and noise presented through a single speaker. This study examines the influence of deep neural network-based (DNN-based) noise reduction on cochlear implant evaluation.
Methods: Speech perception was assessed using AzBio sentences in both quiet and noisy conditions (multi-talker babble) at 5 and 10 dB signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) through one loudspeaker.

Numerous corporations have overlooked environmental regulations concerning wastewater treatment, leading to a worldwide issue regarding hazardous pollutant discharge, particularly dyes and heavy metal ions, into river sources. Various industries, with water, energy, and biological sectors, actively employ membranes. Membranes capable of showing flux, metal and dye sorption, and catalysis have been developed and are extensively used by functionalizing the pores of ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and nanofiltration membranes with responsive properties.

Introduction: High grade gliomas are characterized by a very poor prognosis due to fatal relapses after surgery. Current chemotherapy is only a palliative care, while potential drug candidates are limited by poor overcoming of the blood-brain barrier.
Aims: A suitable chemotherapeutic approach should be engineered to overcome both the altered blood-brain barrier in the glioma site, as well as the intact one in the brain adjacent to tumor zone, and to target the multiple factors influencing glioma proliferation, differentiation, migration, and angiogenesis.
