The article discusses the relevance and features of use reverse osmosis when adjusting physico-chemical composition aqueous solutions especially drinking water. main element any plant is a semi-permeable membrane, which polymer composite material uneven density. It has been shown that membranes must meet certain requirements, are selectivity to components removed at this functional stage, compl...

In the study, novel and sensitive carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) developed for thepotentiometric measurement of Cr(III) and Mg(II) ions in pharmacological and water samples.CPEs as indicator electrodes were prepared from a mixture of four components, includinggraphite powder, paraffin oil, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and a greenionophore (Chitosan Schiff base...

Men tend to be less selective than women when evaluating and pursuing potential romantic partners. The present experiment employed speed-dating procedures to test a novel explanation for this sex difference: The mere act of physically approaching a potential romantic partner (versus being approached), a behavior that is more characteristic of men than of women, increases one’s attraction to tha...

A high enantiomer-selectivity for the polymerization of rac-lactide was achieved using chiral binaphthol-derived monophosphoric acids as organocatalysts. During the polymerization, d-lactide (DLA) preferentially polymerized via kinetic resolution with the maximum selectivity factor (kD/kL) of 28.3. The selective polymerization of DLA was derived from a dual activation, i.e., monomer activation ...

Selectivity control in silicon selective epitaxial growth (SEG) for deep contact patterns, which is one of the key processes for silicon-based stacked devices and cell switches for next generation memories, was studied. Absolute values of selectivity loss during silicon SEG using the most popular H2/dichlorosilane (DCS)/HCl gas system were evaluated using a commercialized inspection tool in 200...

It has recently been proposed that designing selective emitters with photonic crystals (PhCs) or plasmonic metamaterials can suppress low-energy photon emission, while enhancing higher-energy photon emission. Here, we will consider multiple approaches to designing and fabricating nanophotonic structures concentrating infrared thermal radiation at energies above a critical threshold. These are b...

Efficient C-H functionalization requires selectivity for specific C-H bonds. Progress has been made for directed aromatic substitution reactions to achieve ortho and meta selectivity, but a general strategy for para-selective C-H functionalization has remained elusive. Herein we introduce a previously unappreciated concept that enables nearly complete para selectivity. We propose that radicals ...

Matrimid®5218 hollow fiber membranes were prepared using the dry-wet spinning process. The transport properties were measured with pure gases (H2, CO2, N2, CH4 and O2) and with a mixture (30% CO2 and 70% N2) in dry and wet conditions at 25 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C and 75 °C and up to 600 kPa. Interesting values of single gas selectivity up to 60 °C (between 31 and 28 for CO2/N2 and between 33 and 30 fo...
