A microscopic, transcriptomic, and phylogenetic investigation of the contractile vacuole of Reclinomonas americana (Jakobida, Discoba)
DownloadSpring 2023
The origin and timing of characteristic eukaryotic organelles is one of the key questions in the evolution of life on Earth. For the most part, widespread eukaryotic organelles (e.g., Golgi, mitochondria) have been inferred to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) by examining...

Characterization of Water Transport and Liquid Accumulation in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
DownloadSpring 2024
Hydrogen proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) vehicles present a viable solution for decarbonizing the heavy-duty and long-distance transportation sector. They convert the chemical energy of hydrogen directly into electricity, with the only by-products being heat and water and, therefore,...

Synthesis and Integration of Nanoparticles in Thin Film Nanocomposite Membranes for Water Treatment
DownloadSpring 2018
The most widely used method for desalination, the process of removing salts and minerals from saltwater for human consumption and irrigation, is membrane technology. There are various types of membrane technologies, but the use of thin film nanocomposite (TFN) polyamide (PA) membranes for...
