Electrospun polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers in membrane distillation applications by Charles Defor, Shih-Feng Chou

“…The amount of PTFE in emulsion, types of polymer carriers, electrospinning parameters, and sintering conditions have interconnected effects on the resulting morphological structures of PFTE fibers (e.g., beading or continuous fibers). In addition, electrospun PTFE fibers are further functionalized using methods of co-electrospinning with other hydrophobic polymers as well as incorporations of metallic (ZnO) and inorganic particles (POSS) to improve their performance in membrane distillation. …”

Recalibrating the compass: towards effective competition law enforcement on mixed markets by Jasper P. Sluijs

“…This article demonstrates how the Compass doctrine has two adverse consequences: (1) because it undermines the functional approach to the undertaking as the subject of competition law, it impedes effective enforcement; (2) the Compass doctrine enables public firms to behave anticompetitively on mixed markets. The CJEU never anticipated the advent of commercial behaviour by public entities, who with the Compass doctrine in hand can infringe competition law with impunity. …”

Clinical relevance of macromolecular complexes involving integrins, potassium and sodium ion channels and the sodium/proton antiporter in human breast cancer by Elena Lastraioli, Jessica Iorio, Francesco Piazza, Chiara Capitani, Michele Santillo, Claudia Duranti, Simonetta Bianchi, Icro Meattini, Scott P. Fraser, Mustafa B. A. Djamgoz, Andrea Becchetti, Annarosa Arcangeli

“…Integrins frequently recruit ion channels and transporters within complexes which behave as signaling hubs. A complex composed by β1 integrin, hERG1 K+ channel, the neonatal form of the Na+ channel NaV 1.5 (nNaV1.5) and the Na+/H+ antiporter NHE1 (NHE1/hERG1/β1/nNaV1.5 complex) has been recently described to be expressed and regulate relevant cancer related behaviors in Breast Cancer (BCa) cells. …”

An Interactive Clustering-Based Visualization Tool for Air Quality Data Analysis by Mahsa Ashouri, Frederick Kin Hing Phoa, Chun-Houh Chen, Galit Shmueli

“…Our analysis identifies a region in southernmost Taiwan as different from other zones that are currently grouped together with it by Taiwan EPA (TEPA), and a northern region that behaves differently from its TEPA grouping. All these cluster-based insights help EPA experts implement short-term zone-specific air quality policies (e.g., fireworks and traffic regulations, school closures) as well as longer-term decision-making (e.g., transport control stations, fuel permits, old vehicle replacement, fuel type).…”

Dephrasal adjectives in Polish – A case of syntax-inside-morphology by Joanna Kolbusz-Buda

“…Moreover, although Polish does not note any cases of phrasal compounding, the morphological structure of the adjectives in question will be additionally examined to discover potential parallels between the two word-formation types. The reason behind this undertaking is two-fold. Firstly, as has already been mentioned, dephrasal adjectives are classified as compounds; secondly, they contain a phrasal unit. …”
