The evolution of feed spacer role in membrane applications for desalination and water treatment: A critical review and future perspective
(Elsevier, 2023-03)The membrane research community has witnessed a significant research growth on feed spacers since 2010, both in quantity and scope. Increasingly novel spacer geometries and spacer chemistries are being reported in literature ... -
Exploiting the interplay between liquid-liquid demixing and crystallization of the PVDF membrane for membrane distillation
(Hindawi, 2018)Membrane distillation (MD) purifies water by transporting its vapor through a hydrophobic membrane. An ideal MD membrane poses high water flux and high fouling, scaling, and wetting resistances. In this study, we develop ... -
An exploration of white, Asian and Afro‐Caribbean peoples’ concepts of health and illness causation
(Taylor and Francis Online, 1992)This article is based on secondary analysis of the Health and Lifestyle Survey. Matched controls from the white respondents were selected for the 129 Asians and 94 Afro‐Caribbeans. The analysis concentrates on concepts of ... -
Exposure Assessment of Aflatoxin B1 through Consumption of Rice in the United Arab Emirates
(2022-11)Rice is one of the most consumed staple foods worldwide and a major part of the diet for half of the global population. Being primarily cultivated in countries with warm and humid environments increases rice’s susceptibility ... -
Exposure of children to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and its association with respiratory ailments
(Taylor & Francis, 2003-01)Objectives. To assess the impact of domestic passive smoking (cigarettes or narghile) on the development of respiratory ailments among children ages 10–15 years. Methods. Students were recruited from five private schools ... -
Fabrication of blend polyvinylidene fluoride/chitosan membranes for enhanced flux and fouling resistance
(Elsevier, 2018-01)The fabrication of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes was studied using chitosan as a hydrophilic additive for flux enhancement and stability. Chitosan (CS) was blended with PVDF at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% (w/w) ... -
