The status of forward osmosis technology implementation by Awad, Abdelrahman M.

“…The outcomes of 15 studies conducted at pilot scale revealed the energy associated with the draw solution (DS) recovery to present a significant barrier to implementation of the technology, with a 40–50% decrease in energy consumption required for the DS recovery step for the process to successfully compete with classical reverse osmosis (RO) based processes. …”

Excess pCO2 and carbonate system geochemistry in surface seawater of the exclusive economic zone of Qatar (Arabian Gulf) by Connor, Izumi

“…The tracer Alk*, defined as the deviation of potential alkalinity (AP) (where AP = TA + 1.26 [NO3]) from conservative potential alkalinity ((ApC), (ApC = S Ap′S′ where A'P and S′ are mean values for the whole surface ocean) has values primarily determined by CaCO3 precipitation and dissolution. …”

Extraction and characterization of biofunctional lignocellulosic fibers from Pulicaria undulata plant and the effect of alkali treatment on their bio-physicochemical properties by Mohammed, Alsafran

“…In contrast, alkali-treated fibers showed a significant decrease in radical scavenging activity (almost 7–8 fold) and reducing power potential (6-fold) and exhibited no antifungal activity, potentially due to the loss of bioactive components such as lignin and essential oils. …”

Hot and Hypoxic environments inhibit simulated soccer performance and exacerbate performance decrements when combined by Aldous, Jeffrey

“…Twelve male University soccer players completed three familiarization sessions and four randomized crossover experimental trials of the intermittent Soccer Performance Test (iSPT)in normoxic- temperate(CON:18◦C50%rH),HOT(30◦C;50%rH),HYP(1000m;18◦C50%rH),and HH(1000m;30◦C;50%rH).Physical performance and its performance decrements, bodytemperatures(rectal,skin,and estimated muscle temperature), heartrate(HR), arterial blood oxygen saturation(SaO2), perceived exertion, thermal sensation(TS), body mass changes, blood lactate, and plasma volume were all measured. …”
