Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane cleaning in membrane bioreactors: A review
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of the melanin-concentrating-hormone receptor
Yumiko Saito,Hans Peter Nothacker,Zhiwei Wang,Steven H. Lin,Frances M. Leslie,Olivier Civelli +5 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) properties and their effects on membrane fouling in a submerged membrane bioreactor.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptide S: A Neuropeptide Promoting Arousal and Anxiolytic-like Effects
Yan Ling Xu,Rainer K. Reinscheid,Salvador Huitron-Resendiz,Stewart D. Clark,Zhiwei Wang,Steven H.S. Lin,Fernando A. Brucher,Joanne Zeng,Nga Kim Ly,Steven J. Henriksen,Luis de Lecea,Olivier Civelli +11 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
