Kelangkaan air minum adalah tantangan besar. Ini dapat diatasi dengan desalinasi air laut. Dalam pekerjaan ini, kemungkinan teknik desalinasi baru menggunakan hidrogel polimer sebagai media pemisah untuk air dan garam dieksplorasi. Muatan terikat dalam jaringan polimer tersebut mencegah garam masuk ke dalamnya - di bawah tekanan, air desalinasi dilepaskan dari gel. Ditunjukkan bahwa metode ini …

The sections in this book are devoted to new approaches and usages of stainless steels, the influence of the environments on the behavior of certain classes of steels, new structural concepts to understand some fatigue processes, new insight on strengthening mechanisms, and toughness in microalloyed steels. The kinetics during tempering in low-alloy steels is also discussed through a new set-up…
The term allorecognition refers to the series of mechanisms used by an individual's immune system to distinguish its own cells and tissues from those of another individual belonging to the same species. During evolution, different cells and molecules of both innate and adaptive immune systems have been selected to recognize and respond to antigens expressed by allogeneic cells, but not autologo…
This open access volume provides an overview of the latest methods used to study neuronal function with all-optical experimental approaches, where light is used for both stimulation and monitoring of neuronal activity. The chapters in this book cover topics over a broad range, from fundamental background information in both physiology and optics in the context of all-optical neurophysiology exp…
