Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…More pronounced effect on membrane’s mechanical properties was observed due to compatibility of CNTs with PS matrix when compared to other factors (i.e., changes in the CNT aspect ratio). The water contact angle for PS membranes incorporated with commercial CNT sharply decreased from 73° to 53° (membrane hydrophilization) for membranes with 0.1 and 1.0 wt. % of CNTs, while for the same loading of produced CNTs the water contact angles for the membrane samples increased from 66° to 72°. …”

Optimizing emergency services in hospitals by Nature Research (16552612)

“…They believe, however, that their model is an improvement on earlier ones, which did not take length of stay into account, and that hospital managers could use it to evaluate and optimize resources in their emergency departments. 1 “We plan to refine the model by applying new optimization techniques and more data,” says Faghih, “and hope that other hospitals will use the simulation to optimize resource allocation.”…”

Teaching behaviour change skills to undergraduate medical students by Grey, Ian

“…This study investigates the effects of a three-week student project where students selected a healthbehaviour and implemented a self-management program to increase or decrease that behavior. Behaviours were (1) smoking reduction, (2) caffeine reduction, (3) reduction in consumption of saturated fats, (4) increasing physical activity and (5) increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables. 121 first year medical students conducted a seven day baseline assessment of the selected behavior. …”
