Article Abstract
Hysteresis effect on backwashing in a submerged MBR was investigated with dead-end hollow fiber membranes. The out-of-step changes in TMP and flux is the real hysteresis effect which is common but easily overlooked. Methods of visualization and ultrasonic spectrum analysis were implemented. The results showed that fouling layer is just the culprit of hysteresis effect. Fouling level and fiber length were determined as two key factors that affect hysteresis effect by data and model derivation. Moreover, a hysteresis evaluation index "τ" is proposed to quantify the result of TMP vs time. The relationship between influence factors and "τ" is interactive. A linear relationship between fouling level and "τ" was found as well as an extreme value between fiber length and "τ". A lower fouling level (lower backwashing flow) and optimal backwashing duration will be helpful for an effective backwashing no matter for membrane fouling control or energy cost reduce.

Kidney transplant recipients face a high risk of acute rejection (AR), where the immune system attacks the transplanted organ. Current diagnostics rely on invasive biopsies with procedural risks, costs, and limited temporal resolution. While urinary chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 are promising non-invasive AR biomarkers, clinical adoption is limited by labor-intensive detection and lack of point-of-care (POC) solutions.

In response to climate change, the expansion of renewable energies leads to an increasing number of offshore wind farms in the North Sea. This comes along with an increase in (artificial) hard substrates in a mainly soft-bottom dominated marine area with so far largely unknown consequences for the underlying ecosystem functioning. We used a large combined dataset (both hard- and soft-substrate data) to model the secondary production of fouling communities on turbine foundations and of soft-bottom fauna inside and outside offshore wind farms (OWF) in the southern North Sea (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany).

The hydrothermal filtrate of antibiotic fermentation residue contains high levels of organic nitrogen, thereby increasing the risk of ammonia inhibition during anaerobic digestion processes. An upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) integrated with a side-stream membrane contactor (SSMC) with developed for simultaneous biogas production and nitrogen recovery. The methane conversion efficiency stabilized at 75 % ± 2 % during 290 days, and the ammonia nitrogen recovery efficiency achieved over 73 %.

Halide perovskite-based memristors are promising neuromorphic devices due to their unique ion migration and interface tunability, yet their conduction mechanisms remain unclear, causing stability and performance issues. Here, we engineer interstitial Ag ions within a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) halide perovskite ((CHCHNH)CsPbI) to enhance device stability and controllability. The introduced Ag ions occupy organic interlayers, forming thermodynamically stable structures and introducing deep-level energy states without structural distortion, which do not act as non-radiative recombination centers, but instead serve as efficient charge trapping centers that stabilize intermediate resistance states and facilitate controlled filament evolution during resistive switching.
