Quantification of interfacial energies associated with membrane fouling in a membrane bioreactor by using BP and GRNN artificial neural networks.

Journal of colloid and interface science
Interfacial energy between sludge foulants and rough membrane surface critically determines adhesive fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). As a current available method, the advanced extensive Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) approach canno...

Equivalent circuit models for a biomembrane impedance sensor and analysis of electrochemical impedance spectra based on support vector regression.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
In this study, an electrochemical impedance biosensor was developed as a simple and fast method for real-time monitoring of biofilm binding properties via continuous impedance spectroscopy. To prepare the sensing membrane, cells were immobilized onto...

HYPOTHESIS: Graphene oxide (GO)-doping in polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes (PES HFMs) improves the biocompatibility and separation performance for bioartificial kidney (BAK) application.

Cholesterol imprinted composite membranes for selective cholesterol recognition from intestinal mimicking solution.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces
Molecularly imprinted polymers which have been extensively investigated as selective adsorbents were constructed using a template molecule during the polymerization to gain template-specific cavities. In this study, we prepared cholesterol imprinted ...

Prediction of membrane fouling using artificial neural networks for wastewater treated by membrane bioreactor technologies: bottlenecks and possibilities.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Membrane fouling is a major concern for the optimization of membrane bioreactor (MBR) technologies. Numerous studies have been led in the field of membrane fouling control in order to assess with precision the fouling mechanisms which affect membrane...

Modeling and Optimization of NLDH/PVDF Ultrafiltration Nanocomposite Membrane Using Artificial Neural Network-Genetic Algorithm Hybrid.

ACS combinatorial science
In this research, MgAl-CO nanolayered double hydroxide (NLDH) was synthesized through a facile coprecipitation method, followed by a hydrothermal treatment. The prepared NLDHs were used as a hydrophilic nanofiller for improving the performance of the...

Thin polymeric films for building biohybrid microrobots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper aims to describe the disruptive potential that polymeric thin films have in the field of biohybrid devices and to review the recent efforts in this area. Thin (thickness  <  1 mm) and ultra-thin (thickness  <  1 µm) matrices possess a seri...

Arsenic treatment and power generation with a dual-chambered fuel cell with anionic and cationic membranes using NaHCO anolyte and HCl or NaCl catholyte.

Chemosphere
Dual-chambered fuel cells with an iron anode and an air-carbon cathode separated by an ion exchange membranes have been used to treat arsenate during power production. To select an effective catholyte, the dual-chambered fuel cell consisted 90 mL of ...
