Engineering dual-heterogeneous membrane surface with heterostructured modifier to integrate multi-defense antifouling mechanisms

A Federated Layer to Integrate Heterogeneous Knowledge

The way developers define architecture, execute architectural strategy, and record the results make a critical difference in the ability to deal with information and knowledge. In this context, integrating databases is very important indeed, but the different semantics they possibly have usually complicates administration. Therefore, recovering information through a common semantics becomes cru...

Heuristic joins to integrate structured heterogeneous data

Heterogeneous data sources often exhibit semantic heterogeneity at the data level; that is, the same entity in the world is referred to in different ways both within and across sources. This paper discusses a framework for combining information from such sources, called heuristic join, that is an extension of the familiar equi-join for homogeneous sources. Heuristic join uses heuristic match op...

Heterogeneous Functionalization of Polyethersulfone: A New Approach for pH-Responsive Microfiltration Membranes with Enhanced Antifouling Properties

In this work, 2,2’-azo-bis-butyronitrile (AIBN) was exploited as an initiator for the successful bulk heterogeneous functionalization of polyethersulfone (PES) using polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), for the first time. To this end, pH-responsive and exceptionally low fouling membranes of extremely low grafting degrees with low adhesion and high rejection of protein were fabricated. An added advanta...
