TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review on membrane cleaning in MBRs is presented, and the existing challenges and future research efforts are discussed in order to ensure the development of membrane cleaning toward a more effective and sustainable way in MBR.

TL;DR: It is shown that the natural ligand of this receptor is the neuropeptide melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), a cyclic peptide that regulates a variety of functions in the mammalian brain, in particular feeding behaviour, and it is demonstrated that nanomolar concentrations of MCH strongly activate SLC-1-related pathways through Gαi and/or Gαq proteins.

TL;DR: During long-term operation of the MBR, bound EPS demonstrated positive correlations with membrane fouling while temperature was verified as a negative factor affecting EPS concentration and loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS) showed more significant correlations with membranes fouling.

TL;DR: It is reported that a neuropeptide, NPS, potently modulates wakefulness and could also regulate anxiety, and it is shown that the LC region encompasses distinct nuclei expressing different arousal-promoting neurotransmitters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new permafrost map based on freezing and thawing indices from modified MODIS land surface temperatures (LSTs) was generated and validated using various ground-based data sets.
