TLDR
The equations derived here have been applied to various permeability measurements found in the literature, such as the penetration of heavy water into animal cells, permeability of blood vessels, threshold concentration of plasmolysis and relaxation experiments with artificial membranes.About:

Dynamics of osmosis in a porous medium.
TL;DR: It is shown that the heretofore empirical solute permeability coefficient reflects the momentum transfer between the solute molecules that are rejected at a pore entrance and the solvent molecules entering the pore space; it can be related to the inefficiency of a Maxwellian demi-demon.

Continuous removal of glycerol from frozen-thawed red blood cells in a microfluidic membrane device
TL;DR: A design for a multistage process that is predicted to safely remove glycerol from cryopreserved blood in less than 3 min is presented and experimental measurements of solution composition and hemolysis at the device outlet are in reasonable agreement with model predictions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that statistical mechanics and Huxley's formalism provided a powerful combination for establishing an analytical link between chemomechanical properties of CBs, molecular partition function and statistical entropy.

Aqueous hybrid liquid membrane process for metal separation
V. Kislik,Aharon Eyal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an aqueous hybrid liquid membrane (AHLM) was developed for the separation of solutes, which is based on a polyelectrolyte as a carrier, flowing between IEMs.

Filtration, diffusion and molecular sieving through peripheral capillary membranes; a contribution to the pore theory of capillary permeability.
TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental studies on the sieving of molecules by ultrafiltration through porous membranes indicate that an effective pore diameter of at least IOO A would be required to explain permeability of this magnitude.

Passage of Molecules Through Capillary Walls
TL;DR: A wealth of evidence supports the view that the exchange of materials through the walls of living capillaries takes place by physical processes which involve no expenditure of energy on the part of the capillary endothelial cells themselves.
