Jurgen Habermas's theory of the public sphere provides a model of idealised democratic debate. Three major features of this model can be identified - universal access, rational debate, and a disregard for rank. I analyse the model, and use it to examine Slashdot, a popular Web site, as an actualisation of public space.
Clarification operations are vital to extract high-quality products from cane molasses. Ultrafiltration (UF) is very efficient for this purpose, although membrane fouling limits its large-scale application. In this work, five commercially available polyethersulfone UF membranes were evaluated for the clarification of molasses, whereby 30-100 kDa me...
Despite appealing supercapacitive properties, the flexible asymmetric supercapacitor devices (FASCs) are still suffering from low mass loading and limited operating voltage, leading to unsatisfactory energy densities. Herein, we introduced a high-voltage anodic electro-deposition process (AED) which is a novel avenue enabling the synthesis of hiera...

A material that reconfigures when loaded or unloaded with lithium ions.
The A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is upgrading two of its sub-detectors, the Time Projection Chamber and Muon Chambers, with new front-end electronics to handle the expected higher Pb–Pb collision-rates in the next running period (Run 3) foreseen to start in 2021. The higher collision rate requires the...
Prior research has shown load reduction estimates from residential event-driven demand response programs (e.g., Critical Peak Pricing) using X of the highest Y days with a weather adjustment method are the best performing within the class of currently used baseline methods. However, they are still biased relative to estimates produced from randomiz...
