TL;DR: In this article, two polysaccharides, GAPS1 and SAPS-1, were isolated from the gel and the skin of Aloe barbadensis Miller irrigated with sea water for 3.5 years through a combination of anion-exchange column chromatography and repeated gel chromatography.

TL;DR: In this article, a servo-hydraulic testing machine was used to study the strain-rate dependent behavior of concrete in tension and the effect of temperature and moisture content on the strain sensitivity of concrete.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new Multi-Material Level Set (MM-LS) topology description model for topology and shape optimization of structures involving multiple materials, where each phase is represented by a combined formulation of different level set functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid photocatalyst composed of graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4, mainly response to visible light) and TiO 2 (response to UV light) was fabricated by a hydrolysis approach.

TL;DR: An improved understanding is provided of the influence of filamentous bacteria on membrane fouling in microfiltration of activated sludge wastewater and the physicochemical characteristics of sludge flocs, including extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), zeta potential, relative hydrophobicity and floc morphology were investigated.
