A systematic literature review on combined seawater desalination and reverse electrodialysis: Evaluating its technological readiness and potential for full-commercialization by Marijn T. van Geet, Janina Fuchs

“…Using a technological readiness perspective, the current study evaluates its technological maturity and potential to achieve full commercialization. Based on a structured literature review including 70 recent publications on the topic, the current study identified four main techno-economic barriers that stand in the way of this eco-innovation progressing to wide-scale adoption: (1) a low power density and energy efficiency; (2) a high levelized cost of energy; (3) technological immaturity; and (4) a lack of competitiveness. …”

Effect of Vitamin B12 supplementation in late-life depression: A randomized controlled trial by Pooja Misal, Shrikant Srivastava, Akanksha Sonal, Vivek Agarwal, Wahid Ali

“…Materials and Methods: It was a prospective randomized controlled trial of 4 weeks; 62 depressed older adults (age >50 years) with low but not below the normal range of serum Vitamin B12 levels (>187 but <350 pg/ml) were randomized to receive either Vitamin B12 (7500 μg intramuscular injection over 15 days in 5 divided dosages) and an antidepressant (case) or only an antidepressant (control). Structured assessment of depressive disorder was carried out on days 0, 14, and 28, using hamilton rating scale for depression (HAM-D) and Geriatric Depression Scale Hindi version (GDS-H). …”

Autonomous learning and creative cognition: the mediating effect of gifted students’ self-efficacy by Şenol Orakcı

“…Based on “convenience sampling,” the study group consisted of 528 gifted secondary school students enrolled in three Science and Arts Centers in Ankara, Türkiye in the 2022–2023 academic year. A two-step Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was conducted for data analysis.Results and discussionThe findings revealed that AL positively and significantly predicted CC, SE was positively correlated with CC, and both dimensions of AL (Independence of Learning- IoL and Study habits- SH) had a significant direct and indirect influence on CC via SE, confirming that the dimensions of AL (IoL and SH) had distinct indirect influences on CC via SE. …”

Equilibrium Studies of Fluoride Adsorption onto a Ferric Poly−mineral from Kenya by EW Wambu, CO Onindo, W Ambusso, GK Muthakia

“…The adsorption data also correlated to Langmuir and Freundlich models indicating that F adsorption onto FPM was a mixed process involving chemisorption onto surface sites followed by gradual intra-particle penetration of F into mesoporous structure of the mineral. High mean Langmuir adsorption capacity of 10.8 mg/g, indicate that the mineral could be of use as an inexpensive substrate for the removal of F from aqueous streams. …”
