Model-based tools applied to wastewater management have been identified as an emerging solution to address the associated challenges related to the optimization of the technologies, meeting more restricted water quality standards. Thus, for the first time, the demonstration of the solar photo-Fenton process for microcontaminant removal in the operating environment of a model-based tool is reported. This tool aids in determining the right cost-effective seasonal strategy for a 37-m demonstration-scale photoreactor operating in a rural wastewater treatment plant.

Article Synopsis
  • Dihydromyricetin has great pharmaceutical potential but is limited by poor solubility and stability, prompting the synthesis of glucosides to enhance its bioavailability.
  • Through the use of a specific sucrose phosphorylase variant, researchers developed three monoglucosides, with dihydromyricetin 4'--α-D-glucopyranoside being the most prevalent.
  • Acylation of this monoglucoside created three novel derivatives, and studies showed that modifications in their structure impacted both water solubility and antioxidant activity.

Isomer spectroscopy of heavy neutron-rich nuclei beyond the N=126 closed shell has been performed for the first time at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of the RIKEN Nishina Center. New millisecond isomers have been identified at low excitation energies, 985.3(19) keV in ^{213}Tl and 874(5) keV in ^{215}Tl.

Few analgesics identified using preclinical models have successfully translated to clinical use. These translational limitations may be due to the unidimensional nature of behavioral response measures used to assess rodent nociception. Advances in high-speed videography for pain behavior allow for objective quantification of nuanced aspects of evoked paw withdrawal responses.
