Gel-Based Self-Propelling Particles Get Programmed To Dance

LANGMUIR, 28(26), 10128–10135.

TL;DR: A class of gel-based self-propelling particles moving by the Marangoni effect in an oscillatory mode made of an ethanol-infused polyacrylamide hydrogel contained in plastic tubing that can find applications as mixers and cargo carriers in lab-on-a-chip devices, and in various platforms for sensing and processing at the microscale.

2012 journal article

Pretreatment of corn stover for sugar production with switchgrass-derived black liquor

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY, 111, 255–260.

By: J. Xu n, X. Zhang n & J. Cheng n

author keywords: Alkaline pretreatment; Black liquor; Corn stover; Sodium hydroxide; Switchgrass
MeSH headings : Biomass; Carbohydrates / biosynthesis; Hydrolysis; Lignin / metabolism; Poaceae / metabolism; Zea mays / metabolism
TL;DR: Results showed that, because of the high pH and the appreciable amount of carbohydrates in the black liquor, sugar production during enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover pretreatment with black liquor was comparable to that of biomass pretreated with 1% NaOH. (via Semantic Scholar)

2012 journal article

Improving bioretention/biofiltration performance with restorative maintenance

WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 65(2), 361–367.

By: R. Brown n & W. Hunt n

author keywords: bioretention; construction; LID; maintenance; media depth; runoff; stormwater; SUDS; WSUD
MeSH headings : Drainage, Sanitary / methods; Environmental Monitoring; Filtration; Nitrogen / analysis; Phosphorus / analysis; Rain; Water Movements; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollution / prevention & control
TL;DR: This study showed that maintenance is both critical and beneficial to restore otherwise poorly performing bioretention, and while deeper media cells did outperform the shallower systems, the improvement in this case was somewhat modest vis-à-vis additional construction costs.
