Article Synopsis
  • Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and divalent copper (Cu(II)) are highly toxic heavy metals that can seriously harm organisms and aquatic environments, prompting the need for effective treatment solutions.
  • This study introduces a new adsorbent by combining microalgae biomass with ferric oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), aiming to improve the removal efficiency of these metals from contaminated water through a process optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD).
  • Results show that under specific conditions (initial pH 6, Cr(VI) at 5 mg/L, Cu(II) at 20 mg/L, and a contact time of 6 hours), the M

Semi-covariance has attracted significant attention in recent years and is increasingly employed to elucidate statistical phenomena exhibiting fluctuations, such as the similarity or difference in charge patterns of spike proteins among coronaviruses. In this study, by examining values above and below the average/mean based on the positive and negative charge patterns of amino acid residues in the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and its current circulating variants, the proposed methods offer profound insights into the nonlinear evolving trends in those viral spike proteins. Our study indicates that the charge span value can predict the infectivity of the virus and the charge density can estimate the virulence of the virus, and both predicated infectivity and virulence appear to be associated with the capability of viral immune escape.

Background: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the precision and safety outcomes of image-guided lung percutaneous thermal ablation (LPTA) methods, focusing on radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA). The study utilized an innovative angle reference guide to facilitate these techniques in the treatment of lung tumors.

Methods: This study included individuals undergoing LPTA with the assistance of laser angle guide assembly (LAGA) at our hospital between April 2011 and March 2021.
