Why can’t Tottenham win the Premier League and the Champions League together?
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Italian Antonio Conte has raised the bar for his ambitions in his first full season as Tottenham coach by setting the Premier League and Champions League titles as his goal.
Having previously described his success in leading Tottenham to finish the Premier League in fourth place and qualify for the Champions League as a “miracle”, the former coach of Juventus, Chelsea and Inter seemed determined to go much further during the new season that Spurs begins on Saturday once morest its guest Southampton.
Tottenham were one of the most active clubs in the summer transfer period, with the inclusion of Brazilian Richarlison, Malian Yves Bisoma, Djid Spence, Croatian Ivan Perisic, French Clement Langley and goalkeeper Fraser Forster, which made Conte optimistic regarding his team’s competitiveness.
The Italian said regarding his team’s goals for the next season, with a smile on his face: Why not the English Premier League and the Champions League? My goal and the club’s goal is to improve. It’s the process we started seven months ago.
He believed that “if you qualify for the Champions League, it does not mean that you have achieved your goals.”
Conte is counting on his excellent training record, as he won the league title in each of the three previous clubs he supervised, whether it was Juventus, Chelsea or Inter.
But the Italian is accused of not settling in his job for a long time, as his career with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter ended in an unfriendly manner.
And it seemed that the scenario would be repeated with Tottenham when he threatened to leave a few months following his arrival as a result of a series of four defeats in five matches in the Premier League during the months of January and February.
But the 53-year-old is determined this time to leave a legacy in Tottenham, explaining: I said I wanted to build something important with this club because I love to win. My experience makes me say we are going in the right direction.
“At the same time, I know that the club needed an extra step forward to be able to compete with the strongest teams in Europe.” That is why we must not be arrogant or arrogant. We have to work and work and work to improve on and off the field in order to become one of the top clubs.
Hydraulic pressure responsive pulsating diaphragm with self-cleaning function
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Pressure driven membranes are one of the separation technologies, which are widely used in a wide range of industries, such as: water purification, biological processing, food processing industries, and chemical production.
Despite the many advantages of these films, such as their modular design (which relies on smaller component units in size), and their negligible environmental footprint, the phenomenon of fouling (deposition of dirt) that forms on the membrane is a major challenge we face in most practical applications that These membranes are used. Fouling limits membrane performance, by reducing clear water flow (purification yield), or by increasing pressure requirements; This ultimately leads to increased maintenance costs, as well as a higher cost of energy required to carry out operations.
In this published paper, scientists report that they have created a hydraulic pressure-responsive membrane (they called it PiezoMem), which converts pressure impulses into electrically energetic responses, allowing the membrane to clean itself at sites of fouling formation. Transient fluctuations in hydraulic pressure across the membrane generate electric current pulses and rapid voltage fluctuations (peak: 5.0/-3.2 V), capable of causing decomposition and repulsion within the fouling agents, without the need for supplemental chemical cleaners or secondary waste disposal. , or even the presence of any additional external stimuli.
Pyzomium has demonstrated a broad-spectrum anti-fouling effect once morest a range of membrane-fouling agents (among them: organic molecules, oil droplets, proteins, bacteria, and inorganic colloids) via the production of reactive oxygen compounds (ROS). , and create a state of repulsion through electrical insulation.
On the second anniversary of the devastating explosion in the Lebanese capital Beirut, further parts of the symbolic grain silos collapsed there. According to eyewitnesses, a white cloud of dust rose above the port today. Despite the collapse, dozens of families of victims of the blast two years ago gathered there. The silos had already partially collapsed on Sunday following a fire broke out there.
Some of the relatives wept, others shouted, “We want justice for our children.” The crowd carried empty coffins to commemorate the more than 190 people who died in the blast two years ago. Others called for the causes, which have not yet been clarified, to be worked up. A sign said it was an “open wound.”
The August 2020 explosion in the port of Beirut killed over 190 people and injured around 6,000 others. The port and large parts of the adjacent residential areas were destroyed. Large quantities of the highly explosive chemical ammonium nitrate, which had previously been stored in the port for years without protective measures, detonated. To this day, authorities have not explained exactly how the substance got into the port.
