Over the last 60 years, soil microbiologists have accumulated a wealth of experimental data
showing that the bulk, macroscopic parameters (eg, granulometry, pH, soil organic matter …

Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and
its function. The review aims to critically discuss the use of optical coherence tomography …

We report here on recent developments and advances in pore-scale X-ray tomographic
imaging of subsurface porous media. Our particular focus is on immiscible multi-phase fluid …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

Progress in high-resolution X-ray microtomography has provided us with a practical
approach to determining three-dimensional (3D) structures of opaque samples at …

Pressure-driven membrane processes are often used for the separation and purification of
organic compounds originating from biomass. However, membrane fouling remains a …

Because of the uneven distribution of fresh water in time and space, a large number of
regions are experiencing water scarcity and stress. Membrane based desalination …

This study investigates the functional correspondence between porescale hydrodynamics,
mass transfer, pore structure and biofilm morphology during progressive biofilm colonization …

Dissolution and precipitation reactions are the primary mechanisms that occur when a rock
(ie, a mineral assemblage) is in contact with a fluid out of equilibrium. They play a critical …
