In this work, the vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE) of the water/-pentane, water/-hexane, water/-octane, and water/-decane binary systems is calculated by computer simulation using the NVT-Gibbs ensemble (in the version of three simulation boxes) combined with the configurational bias Monte Carlo method. The combination of both methods, the molecular potential models used, and the simulation details allowed us to calculate the triphasic equilibrium properties of the systems studied: the densities of the three phases in equilibrium, their compositions, and potential energies. In previous works, these simulations were not carried out at a temperature range nor water/-alkanes systems simulated in this work, probably because they are highly nonideal systems; so, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that this phenomenon is studied in detail.

- Since the first instance of silk sutures leading to bile duct stones was noted in 1897, research has shown that certain materials, like silk and chromic catgut, can act as niduses for gallstone formation.
- Surgical clips, while generally safe, have been associated with unusual occurrences such as clip migration since their first case was reported in 1979, and several factors may contribute to this issue.
- A recent case highlighted the discovery of a surgical clip within a gallstone in the common bile duct, underscoring the importance of ongoing monitoring for potential complications long after surgery.
Liposarcoma tumors only represent 0.1% of all cancers, but they are the more common of retroperitoneal sarcomas. It has a great tendency for local recurrence, mainly the dedifferentiated variety, but its complete resection can provide a 5-year survival of 70%.
