Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and virtual content management apparatuses that assist providing targeted media content in a virtual environment includes identifying a subset of a plurality of influencer computing devices in a virtual environment based on influencer virtual activity data and influencer user profile data associated with users of each of the plurality of influencer computing devices. Next, influencer virtual location data is identified in the influencer virtual activity data associated with each of the identified subset of the influencer computing devices that matches with received content virtual location data. Received virual media content data placed within the identified influencer virtual location data and access of the placed virtual media content data is provided to one or more follower computing devices associated with the identified subset of influencer computing devices.

Abstract: A membrane sensor for detecting fouling, the membrane sensor comprising a first chamber having an inlet and an outlet; a second chamber having an outlet; only one membrane, the membrane being disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber for allowing fluid to permeate the membrane from the first chamber to the second chamber; a first pressure transducer configured for obtaining a first pressure upstream of the membrane; a second pressure transducer configured for obtaining a second pressure downstream of the membrane; and a resistance regulator configured for adjusting the second pressure.

Abstract: There is provided a reinforced membrane for producing osmotic power in pressure retarded osmosis. The membrane includes a base layer with mechanical reinforcement; and a porous substrate layer adjacent to the base layer, the porous substrate layer being macrovoid-free. The membrane may further include a rejection layer adjacent to the base layer.

Abstract: Novel compounds of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Y is ##STR2## and R is H or CH.sub.3 ; are produced by reacting 2-aminoethyl ethylene urea with succinic anhydride, and further reacting the potassium salt of the obtained compound with an appropriate allyl halide or with allyl chloroacetate or vinyl chloroacetate respectively. The recovered alkenyl succinamic ureido compounds find particular use as functional comonomers for imparting wet adhesion properties to emulsion systems containing vinyl ester polymers used in paints and coating compositions.
