Membrane reactor
A membrane reactor is a chemical or biochemical reactor combining reaction and membrane separation in one device, an example of process intensification best developed for hydrogen production.
Membrane reforming
Membrane reforming is a hydrogen production technique that combines steam reforming of hydrocarbons with in situ hydrogen separation through a palladium membrane, allowing conversion at lower temperatures.
Membrane separation
Membrane separation is a family of methods that split fluid mixtures with selectively permeable barriers, driven by pressure, concentration, or electrical potential, including reverse osmosis and electrodialysis.
Membrane Technology and Research
Membrane Technology and Research, or MTR, is an American company in Newark, California that develops membrane-based gas separation systems for the petrochemical, natural gas, and refining industries.
Membrane theory (structures)
Membrane theory is a simplified structural theory for thin shells in which loads are carried entirely by in-plane forces, with no bending moments; it is the standard first analysis for domes and pressure vessel heads.
Membrane Trafficking
Membrane trafficking is the movement of proteins and lipids between a eukaryotic cell's membrane compartments, carried out by vesicles that bud from one organelle and fuse with another.
Membrane transport protein
Membrane transport proteins, also called carriers, transporters, and channels, move ions and molecules across biological membranes. Human SLC (464 genes, 76 families) and ABC (48 members) superfamilies; over 100 Mendelian diseases and major drugs target them.
Membrane-associated guanylate kinase, MPP/CASK
Membrane-associated guanylate kinase, MPP/CASK (InterPro IPR050716): a protein family grouping the MPP1-7 and CASK MAGUK scaffold subfamilies, which uniquely share paired L27 domains; CASK is the only active-kinase MAGUK.
Membrane-bound electron transfer protein
Membrane-bound electron transfer proteins (InterPro IPR052049) are membrane-embedded proteins, such as ETF-QO and NrfD-family subunits like PsrC, that move electrons between redox partners and couple electron flow to proton or sodium translocation for ATP synthesis.
Membrane-inlet mass spectrometry
Membrane-inlet mass spectrometry, also called membrane introduction mass spectrometry, is an analytical technique where volatile compounds diffuse through a semipermeable membrane directly into a mass spectrometer, introduced in 1963.
Membrane-type LNG containment
Membrane-type LNG containment is a cryogenic cargo system in which thin metallic membranes supported by a ship's inner hull hold LNG at about -163 °C and atmospheric pressure.
Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases
Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) are six matrix metalloproteinases anchored in the plasma membrane, four transmembrane and two GPI-anchored, specializing in pericellular proteolysis and zymogen activation.
Membrey
Membrey, Haute-Saône commune in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France, with 219 inhabitants; known for its large Gallo-Roman villa ruins, discovered 1838, classified monument historique since 1846.
Memcached
Memcached is a free and open source distributed memory object caching system that speeds up dynamic web applications by reducing database load, created by Brad Fitzpatrick for LiveJournal in 2003.
Meme
Meme: a unit of cultural transmission coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976), from mimeme; basis of memetics and of the popular sense of viral captioned images online.

Memetic algorithm
A memetic algorithm is a population-based metaheuristic combining an evolutionary framework with local-search operators that refine individual solutions, introduced by Pablo Moscato in 1989 for hard optimization problems.
Memetics
Memetics: the study of memes as cultural replicators, coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976); ideas spread by imitation, variation, and selection, later superseded by gene-culture coevolution theory.
