Mechanical and structural properties of biofilms influence the accumulation and release of
pathogens in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). Thus, understanding how long …

Objectives This study aimed to compare fluid movements generated from photon-induced
photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). Materials and …

Background and Objectives Photon‐induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) and
shockwave‐enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) are two promising …

This study aimed at evaluating stratification of hydraulic resistance over the depth of
membrane biofilms developed during gravity driven membrane (GDM) ultrafiltration. Biofilms …

Biofilms are ubiquitous and play an essential role in both environmental processes and
hospital infections. Standard methods are not capable of quantifying biomass concentration …

Detachment is a critically important aspect of biofilm processes; it impacts not only on the
characteristics of the biofilm itself but also has general implications for the dissemination of …

The amelioration of biofouling in industrial processing equipment is critical for performance
and reliability. While conventional biocides are effective in biofouling control, they are …

This study investigated Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst deposition onto biofilms as a
function of shear stress under laminar or turbulent flow. Annular rotating bioreactors were …

In this work, dual-templated hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs), produced from a coupled
ice-hard templating approach, are shown to be a highly effective solution to the commonly …

The floc size distribution (FSD) is crucial to predict cohesive sediment dynamics in aquatic
environments. Recently, increasing attention has been given to biofilm effects on the FSDs …
