description: In this interview, Patrick C. discusses his life in New York City, with special attention to his drug use. He discusses the first time he tried heroin and opium in 1924, and how he developed an opium addiction. He explains how he began selling heroin under the leadership of Hyman "Hymie" Rothman in order to finance his opium addiction. He details his clientele, where in the city he operated, and his average income. Discusses the impact of the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914 on Chinese opium dens. He discusses how the Jewish crime syndicates that controlled the New York drug traffic were usurped by the mafia around 1938. He discusses key Jewish dealers from before the transition such as Hymie Rothman, Murray Marks, and Waxey Gordon, as well as key Italian dealers such as Don Pepe, Charlie Lucky, Frankie White, Tony Bender, and Vito Genovese. He explains how the power struggle severed his customer connections and forced him out of the drug trafficking business. He discusses the drug panic during World War II, and how he substituted dried, powdered opium, morphine phenobarbital, Nembutal, and seconal for opium and heroin. He discusses visiting the Lexington, Kentucky Hospital for drug detox during World War II. He reviews his arrest history, and the time he spent incarcerated. Facilities included: Rikers Island, Hart's Island, and Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. He discusses his experience with Wild Cat, a program that placed ex-addicts and methadone patients in jobs

Ακολούθως σε ερευνητικό επίπεδο, μέσα από πρωτογενή ποσοτική έρευνα, σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι να διερευνήσει σε βάθος τις απόψεις των φορολογούμενων σε ότι αφορά τη φορολογία φυσικών προσώπων και την αποτελεσματικότητα της φορολογικής διοίκησης.
Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Small Bowel Physiological Changes Pertaining to Absorption of Nutrients & Bile Acid Metabolism
Creators: name: Vincent, Royce Priyanth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Background: The dogma that persisted for many years was that malabsorption plays a significant role in contributing to the weight loss following bariatric surgery. The aim was to assess for evidence of malabsorption after bariatric procedures; adjustable gastric banding (AGB), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and biliopancreatic diversion-duodenal switch (BPD-DS). Methods: This cross sectional study recruited participants into four groups: obese controls (n=7), AGB (n=6), RYGB (n=7) and BPD-DS (n=5). Biochemical tests were used to assess; (i) entire gut: sulphasalazine test for oro-caecal transit time (OCTT) & plasma citrulline for functional enterocyte mass. (ii) foregut: faecal elastase-1 (FE1) for exocrine pancreatic function. (iii) mid-gut: Lactulose:rhamnose (L:R) ratio for gut permeability, faecal calprotectin (FCp) for gut inflammation & plasma and urine bile acids (BAs) for BA metabolism. (iv) hindgut: Faecal fat (Ffat) excretion for fat malabsorption. Results: (i) entire gut: There was no difference in OCTT (p=0.935) or functional enterocyte mass (p=0.819). (ii) foregut: FE1 was lower in the RYGB vs. the control group (p=0.002), with no difference between other groups (all p>0.05). (iii) mid-gut: L:R ratio was higher in the BPD-DS vs. the control (p=0.012), AGB (p=0.016) and RYGB (p=0.012), with no difference between other groups. FCp was higher in the RYGB vs. the control (p=0.016), with no difference between other groups. The fasting plasma and urine BAs were elevated in BPD-DS vs. the control, ABG and RYGB (all p<0.05). (iv) hindgut: The BPD-DS had higher Ffat excretion vs. the control (p=0.038), AGB (p=0.046) and RYGB (p=0.024). The RYGB had higher Ffat excretion vs. the control (p=0.033). There was no difference between the RYGB and AGB (p=0.808). Conclusion: There was no evidence to support the notion that RYGB causes severe malabsorption of fats or sugars. However, BPD-DS does cause fat malabsorption.

description: We propose a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with attention mechanism to classify psychological stress from self-conducted interview transcriptions. We apply distant supervision by automatically labeling tweets based on their hashtag content, which complements and expands the size of our corpus. This additional data is used to initialize the model parameters, and which it is fine-tuned using the interview data. This improves the model's robustness, especially by expanding the vocabulary size. The bidirectional LSTM model with attention is found to be the best model in terms of accuracy (74.1%) and f-score (74.3%). Furthermore, we show that distant supervision fine-tuning enhances the model's performance by 1.6% accuracy and 2.1% f-score. The attention mechanism helps the model to select informative words.

Cosmological Breaking of Supersymmetry?

description: It is conjectured that M-theory in asymptotically flat spacetime must be supersymmetric, and that the observed SUSY breaking in the low energy world must be attributed to the existence of a nonzero cosmological constant. This would be consistent with experiment, if the {\it critical exponent} $α$ in the relation $M_{SUSY} \sim M_P (Λ/M_P^4)^α$ took on the value 1/8, rather than its classical value 1/4. We attribute this large renormalization to the effect of large virtual black holes via the UV/IR correspondence.

description: The recent explosion in popularity of large language models (LLMs) has inspired learning engineers to incorporate them into adaptive educational tools that automatically score summary writing. Understanding and evaluating LLMs is vital before deploying them in critical learning environments, yet their unprecedented size and expanding number of parameters inhibits transparency and impedes trust when they underperform. Through a collaborative user-centered design process with several learning engineers building and deploying summary scoring LLMs, we characterized fundamental design challenges and goals around interpreting their models, including aggregating large text inputs, tracking score provenance, and scaling LLM interpretability methods. To address their concerns, we developed iScore, an interactive visual analytics tool for learning engineers to upload, score, and compare multiple summaries simultaneously. Tightly integrated views allow users to iteratively revise the language in summaries, track changes in the resulting LLM scores, and visualize model weights at multiple levels of abstraction. To validate our approach, we deployed iScore with three learning engineers over the course of a month. We present a case study where interacting with iScore led a learning engineer to improve their LLM's score accuracy by three percentage points. Finally, we conducted qualitative interviews with the learning engineers that revealed how iScore enabled them to understand, evaluate, and build trust in their LLMs during deployment.

Transient Optical Studies of Exciton Dynamics in Organic Solar Cells
Creators: name: Reynolds, Luke X.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: There is increasing evidence that the initially generated excited state species in bulk heterojunction solar cell photoactive layers are critical to device performance. At present however, an understanding of the nature and dynamics of such excited states still remains limited. This thesis presents a study of the ultrafast exciton dynamics in bulk heterojunction organic and hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells. Fluorescence upconversion is used to elucidate the dynamics of such transient species allowing internal properties of the blend systems to be probed including changes in film morphology and ultrafast energy loss mechanisms. An understanding of such processes is an important step forward in the evolution of molecular semiconductor based solar cells. The first chapter focuses on the main experimental technique, fluorescence upconversion, and how this can be employed to study excited states. In particular, this section addresses one of the main unanswered questions in the field and attempts to correlate the exciton dynamics with the structure of the common photoactive polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Three structural variations of P3HT are studied and their exciton dynamics associated with differing internal processes occurring within the polymers. These include self localisation, and different types of long-range energy transfer mechanisms. The following two chapters build upon the knowledge of exciton dynamics obtained from the first chapter. First, a study is made of amorphous polymers with different acceptors, all based on phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). The distinct interactions of the PCBM-type molecules with the polymer results in different electron transfer dynamics, from which the exciton diffusion length of the polymer in real bulk heterojunction blends is extracted using a simple model. Second, the ultrafast excited state dynamics of a crystalline polymer with the same PCBM-type acceptors is studied. Correlation of these dynamics with thermal analysis of the blend films allows the morphology of the films to be extracted and allows two different mechanisms of microstructure development to be identified. In the final chapter, the effect of acceptor aggregation on exciton dynamics and charge generation yields in hybrid organic-inorganic blend films has been studied. Such aggregation has been shown to be essential for efficient charge generation in all-organic solar cells but has often been assumed to be less important in such inorganic hybrids. More aggregated acceptor nanoparticles are shown to not only result in greater than expected exciton quenching but are also shown to result in a greater yield of long-lived charges. This study is extended to show that in-situ grown inorganic nanoparticles exhibit superior performance to standard pre-synthesised inorganics.
Clinical and experimental studies in idiopathic and Crohn's-related anal fistula
Creators: name: Tozer, Philip James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The factors leading to the creation and persistence of anal fistula in Crohn’s disease are poorly understood. As with luminal Crohn’s disease genetic, microbiological and immunological factors are implicated but the immunological and microbiological composition of Crohn’s and idiopathic anal fistulae have been obscure. My data demonstrate a lack of clinically relevant organisms within fistula tracts, a luminally driven immune response and subtle differences in this response between Crohn’s and idiopathic fistulae which may provide the basis for diagnostic tests, interventions and further research. Surgical treatment of anal fistula is characterised by a compromise between risk of recurrence and impairment of continence. In complex, recurrent and multiply operated anal fistulae, fistulotomy can still provide a high success rate with low additional risk of impairment of continence. Rectovaginal fistulae are also difficult to manage both surgically and medically. In the infliximab era, successful healing of Crohn’s RVF remains disappointingly rare. Surgery for RVF requires a variety of approaches but remains a valuable tool in the treatment of both Crohn’s and non-Crohn’s tracts. Medical treatment of Crohn’s anal fistulae with combination thiopurine and anti-TNFα agents has demonstrated good short term results. Clinical and radiological data to 3 years follow up demonstrate that around a third of patients maintain healing on infliximab, radiological healing lags behind clinical remission by around a year, and cessation may lead to recurrence in spite of a healed tract on MRI. A treatment for anal fistula with high success and low risk of impairment of continence in complex anal fistulae eludes colorectal surgeons and gastroenterologists. A treatment combining the best aspects of current fistula management with novel elements prompted by improved aetiological understanding must be the goal for fistula surgeons and is the inspiration behind this thesis.

Classically and Asteroseismically constrained 1D Stellar Evolution Models of $α$ Centauri A and B using Empirical Mixing Length Calibrations

description: The bright, nearby binary $α$ Centauri provides an excellent laboratory for testing stellar evolution models, as it is one of the few stellar systems for which we have high-precision classical (mass, radius, luminosity) and asteroseismic ($p$-mode) observations. Stellar models are created and fit to the classical and seismic observations of both stars by allowing for the free variation of convective mixing length parameter $α_{\text{MLT}}$. This system is modeled using five different sets of assumptions about the physics governing the stellar models. There are 31 pairs of tracks (out of ${\sim} 150,000$ generated) which fit the classical, binary, and seismic observational constraints of the system within $3\,σ$. Models with each tested choice of input physics are found to be viable, but the optimal mixing lengths for Cen A and Cen B remain the same regardless of the physical prescription. The optimal mixing lengths are $α_{\text{MLT,A}} /α_{\odot}= 0.932$ and $α_{\text{MLT,B}}/α_{\odot} = 1.095$. That Cen A and Cen B require sub- and super-solar mixing lengths, respectively, to fit the observations is a trend consistent with recent findings, such as in Kervella et al. (2017), Joyce and Chaboyer (2018), and Viani et al. (2018). The optimal models find an age for $α$ Centauri of $5.3 \pm 0.3$ Gyr.

Towards electron holography of working transistors
Creators: name: Yazdi, Sadegh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: As semiconductor device dimensions are reduced to the deep sub-micron regime, minor departures from the designed distributions of electrostatic potentials can affect device performance dramatically. Parameter optimisation in device processing and modelling is crucial for achieving precise potential profiles. Such optimisation is not possible without comprehensive feedback from advanced characterisation techniques. The ability to acquire two- and three-dimensional measurements of potential distributions with high spatial resolution, high precision and under an applied electrical bias is therefore in great demand. The technique of off-axis electron holography in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) promises to fulfil these requirements in two dimensions and can be combined with electron tomography for three-dimensional measurements. In this dissertation, the practical challenges that are involved in the application of electron holography to the characterisation of electrostatic potentials in working MOSFETs are addressed. A novel method for the application of electrical contacts to a TEM specimen is developed and applied to a diode structure. Off-axis electron holography measurements are carried out on a pn junction using both this and an alternative geometry and compared with simulations. A semi-biased MOSFET is then characterised successfully using electron holography, suggesting that the examination of working transistors in the TEM is a realistic prospect. In order to investigate sources of error and practical challenges, the influence of diffraction contrast on electron holographic phase images is investigated. The effects of electron beam irradiation on the in-situ characterisation of electrical properties in semiconductor devices are then assessed using three complementary techniques: off-axis electron holography and measurements of electron beam induced current in the TEM and secondary electron dopant contrast in the scanning electron microscope.
Non-Perturbative One-Loop Effective Action for QED with Yukawa Couplings

description: We derive the one-loop effective action for scalar, pseudoscalar, and electromagnetic fields coupled to a Dirac fermion in an extension of QED with Yukawa couplings. Using the Schwinger proper-time formalism and zeta-function regularization, we calculate the full non-perturbative effective action to one loop in the constant background field approximation. Our result is non-perturbative in the external fields, and goes beyond existing results in the literature which treat only the first non-trivial order involving the pseudoscalar. The result has an even and odd part, which are related to the modulus and phase of the fermion functional determinant. The even contribution to the effective action involves the modulus of the effective Yukawa couplings and is invariant under global chiral transformations while the odd contribution is proportional to the angle between the scalar and pseudoscalar couplings. In different limits the effective action reduces either to the Euler-Heisenberg effective action or the Coleman-Weinberg potential. We also comment on the relationship between the odd part of the effective action and the chiral anomaly in QED.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of acute and chronic myocardial ischaemia
Creators: name: Bucciarelli-Ducci, Chiara
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: BACKGROUND: Ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a non-invasive imaging modality providing in vivo myocardial tissue characterisation and quantification. We aimed to validate CMR in the field of interventional cardiology as a tool for guiding patient selection and management to the assessment of the results of interventions both in the acute and chronic settings. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated the impact of primary angioplasty delay on the presence and extent of myocardial salvage, microvascular obstruction and infarct size. We found that “time is muscle”, and that shorter time to reperfusion was associated with smaller infarct size (p=0.05), less microvascular obstruction (p=0.04) and a greater amount of salvaged myocardium (p=0.003). Microvascular obstruction was then used as an endpoint in a prospective randomised trial assessing the impact of a thrombectomy device as adjunctive therapy in primary PCI. The incidence and extent of microvascular damage was significantly reduced in the thrombectomy group compared to standard primary PCI (p=0.0005). CMR can identify 2 degrees of microvascular damage: early or persistent microvascular dysfunction. The latter was the strongest predictor of LV remodelling (p=0.03), it was predicted by infarct size (p=0.002), and infarct healing (shrinkage) occurred to a greater extent (p<0.006). We validated the clinical use of CMR perfusion in a cohort of patients with chronic coronary occlusion whose management is currently controversial. CMR identified myocardial viability and inducible myocardial ischaemia in a significant percentage of patients, guided revascularisation that reduced ischaemic burden (p<0.0001) with improvements in left ventricular function (p<0.0001) and health outcome measures (p<0.0001). Finally, improved CMR perfusion image quality was pursued with a new imaging protocol but this demonstrated increased incidence of artefacts (p<0.001) and lower diagnostic accuracy compared to the standard technique. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides in vivo myocardial tissue characterisation that can potentially not only guide treatment but also assess its effects. The result of this work suggests that CMR could emerge as a clinical valuable technique in numerous interventional clinical settings within acute to chronic myocardial ischaemia, in addition to providing surrogate endpoints for clinical trials.

Thirty-five craters are presented (a–ai) in decreasing age order, taken to be the determined age in the case of radiometric assessments and halfway between age limits in the case of age bracketing. Age reported is that used for continental reconstruction. Accuracy of palaeolocation of impact site decreases overall with increasing age and as a function of plate reconstruction model uncertainty. Calculated primary ejecta blanket thicknesses are plotted as isopachs from 1 cm to 10 µm, coloured fields indicate summarised Kfs content and regions of minimum ejecta thickness.

description: The effects of the composite flocculant, polyaluminium chloride and poly dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PACl-PDMDAAC) in comparison with PACl on coagulation efficiencies and membrane fouling in coagulation-ultrafiltration (C-UF) process were analysed, which was conducted in the conditions of different basicity (B) values and the presence of Mg2+. Results showed that PACl-PDMDAAC enhanced the ability of charge neutralization and absorption bridging, and improved the coagulation efficiency. When B value was 1.5, the flocculant hydrolyzed to form more Alb morphology and effectively removed HA molecules. The presence of Mg2+ could improve the coagulation performance through bridging ability. The results of the ultrafiltration test showed that the flux reduction for PACl was 70%, while the flux reduction for PACl-PDMDAAC was 60% in C-UF process. PACl-PDMDAAC could effectively reduce membrane fouling mainly by reducing strongly attached cake/gel layer. When B value was 1.5, the Alb content of the flocculant was higher and the ability of adsorption charge neutralization was strong, resulting in forming a stable cake layer. Therefore, the membrane fouling was the lightest. In addition, the presence of Mg2+ in raw water reduced the membrane fouling.

description: Scientists studying deep ocean microbial ecosystems use limited numbers of sediment samples collected from the seafloor to characterize important life-sustaining biogeochemical cycles in the environment. Yet conducting fieldwork to sample these extreme remote environments is both expensive and time consuming, requiring tools that enable scientists to explore the sampling history of field sites and predict where taking new samples is likely to maximize scientific return. We conducted a collaborative, user-centered design study with a team of scientific researchers to develop DeepSee, an interactive data workspace that visualizes 2D and 3D interpolations of biogeochemical and microbial processes in context together with sediment sampling history overlaid on 2D seafloor maps. Based on a field deployment and qualitative interviews, we found that DeepSee increased the scientific return from limited sample sizes, catalyzed new research workflows, reduced long-term costs of sharing data, and supported teamwork and communication between team members with diverse research goals.

Open Branes in Space-Time Non-Commutative Little String Theory

description: We conjecture the existence of two new non-gravitational six-dimensional string theories, defined as the decoupling limit of NS5-branes in the background of near-critical electrical two- and three-form RR fields. These theories are space-time non-commutative Little String Theories with open branes. The theory with (2,0) supersymmetry has an open membrane in the spectrum and reduces to OM theory at low energies. The theory with (1,1) supersymmetry has an open string in the spectrum and reduces to 5+1 dimensional NCOS theory for weak NCOS coupling and low energies. The theories are shown to be T-dual with the open membrane being T-dual to the open string. The theories therefore provide a connection between 5+1 dimensional NCOS theory and OM theory. We study the supergravity duals of these theories and we consider a chain of dualities that shows how the T-duality between the two theories is connected with the S-duality between 4+1 dimensional NCOS theory and OM theory.

description: Optimization of a single-stage, partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A) process for a reject water treatment in a continuous-flow, moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was presented. Response surface method (RSM) was combined with simulation experiments conducted with the validated mathematical model of PN/A in MBBR. The total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) removal efficiency was the response parameter. Eight independent variables were taken into consideration: reject water flow rate (Q), inflow concentrations of the total ammonium nitrogen (TAN), chemical oxygen demand (COD), alkalinity (ALK), pH, temperature (T), dissolved oxygen concentration in the bulk liquid (DO) and aeration time within 60 min intermittent aeration cycle (AERON). Eleven interactions between independent variables were found as significant (p 3d, T of 22.5°C, TAN of 750 gN/m3 and optimized values of DO = 3.0 gO2/m3, AERON = 0.54 h, pH = 7.5, ALK = 80 molHCO3/m3, COD = 775 gO2/m3, the predicted TINrem was 78% which is consistent with PN/A performance observed in the technical-scale MBBR systems.
Unimodular transformations of the supermanifolds and the calculation of the multi-loop amplitudes in the superstring theory

description: The modular transformations of the $(1|1)$ complex supermanifolds in the like-Schottky modular parameterization are discussed. It is shown that these "supermodular" transformations depend on the spinor structure of the supermanifold by terms proportional to the odd modular parameters. The above terms are calculated in the explicit form. They are urgent for the divergency problem in the Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz superstring theory and for calculating the fundamental domain in the modular space. The supermodular transformations of the multi-loop superstring partition functions calculated by the solution of the Ward identities are studied. The above Ward identities are shown to be covariant under the supermodular transformations. So the partition functions necessarily possess the covariance under the transformations discussed. It is demonstrated explicitly the covariance of the above partition functions at zero odd moduli under those supermodular transformations, which turn a pair of even genus-1 spinor structures to a pair of the odd genus-1 spinor ones. The brief consideration of the cancellation of divergences is given.

description: We provide experimental evidence of universal dynamics far from equilibrium during the relaxation of an isolated one-dimensional Bose gas. Following a rapid cooling quench, the system exhibits universal scaling in time and space, associated with the approach of a non-thermal fixed point. The time evolution within the scaling period is described by a single universal function and scaling exponent, independent of the specifics of the initial state. Our results provide a quantum simulation in a regime, where to date no theoretical predictions are available. This constitutes a crucial step in the verification of universality far from equilibrium. If successful, this may lead to a comprehensive classification of systems based on their universal properties far from equilibrium, relevant for a large variety of systems at different scales.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The scattering equation formalism is a general framework for calculation of amplitudes in theories of massless particles. We provide a detailed introduction to the 4D scattering equation framework accessible to non-experts, outline current difficulties solving the equations numerically, and explain how to overcome them with a Monte Carlo algorithm. With this submission we include {\tt treeamps4dJAF}, the first publicly available {\sc Mathematica} package for calculating amplitudes by solving the scattering equations, supporting MHV analytical and N$^{k-2}$MHV numerical computations. The package provides a powerful and flexible computational tool for calculating tree-level amplitudes in super Yang Mills theories, Einstein supergravity and conformal supergravity. We tabulate sets of numerical solutions up to 9 points in all MHV sectors and 12 points in the NHMV sector which can be used for fast evaluation of amplitudes.

description: Known millisecond pulsars have periods longer than 1.558 ms. Recycled in binary systems, neutron stars can attain very short spin periods. In this paper we investigate the expected properties of the millisecond pulsar distribution by simulating synthetic populations under different assumptions for the neutron star equation of state and decay of the magnetic field. We find evidence that a tail in the distribution of millisecond pulsars may exist at periods shorter than those observed.

description: We analyse in three space-time dimensions, the connection between abelian self dual vector doublets and their counterparts containing both an explicit mass and a topological mass. Their correspondence is established in the lagrangian formalism using an operator approach as well as a path integral approach. A canonical hamiltonian analysis is presented, which also shows the equivalence with the lagrangian formalism. The implications of our results for bosonisation in three dimensions are discussed.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We discuss the role of additional local symmetries related to the transformations of connection fields in the affine-metric theory of gravity. The corresponding BRST transformations connected with all symmetries (general coordinate, local Lorentz and extra) are constructed. It is shown, that extra symmetries give the additional contribution to effective action which is proportional to the corresponding Nielsen-Kallosh ghost one. Some arguments are given, that there is no anomaly associated with extra local symmetries.

description: The effects of the composite flocculant, polyaluminum chloride and poly dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PACl-PDMDAAC) in comparison with PACl on coagulation efficiencies and membrane fouling in coagulation-ultrafiltration (C-UF) process were analyzed, which was conducted in the conditions of different basicity (B) values and the presence of Mg2+. Results showed that PACl-PDMDAAC enhanced the ability of charge neutralization and absorption bridging, and improved the coagulation efficiency. When B value was 1.5, the flocculant hydrolyzed to form more Alb morphology and effectively removed HA molecules. The presence of Mg2+ could improve the coagulation performance through bridging ability. The results of ultrafiltration test showed that the flux reduction for PACl was 70%, while the flux reduction for PACl-PDMDAAC was 60% in C-UF process. PACl-PDMDAAC could effectively reduce membrane fouling mainly by reducing strongly sttached cake/gel layer. When B value was 1.5, the Alb content of the flocculant was higher and the ability of adsorption charge neutralization was strong, resulting in forming a stable cake layer. Therefore, the membrane fouling was the lightest. In addition, the presence of Mg2+ in raw water reduced the membrane fouling.
