Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Adsorption Using Magnesium Gallate Metal-Organic Framework (Mg-gallate).

Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) is a predictive model that does not require any mixture data. In gas purification and separation processes, IAST is used to predict multicomponent adsorption equilibrium and selectivity based solely on experimental single-component adsorption isotherms. In this work, the mixed gas adsorption isotherms were predicted using IAST calculations with the Python package (pyIAST).

LGBTQ+ Affirming Care May Increase Awareness and Understanding of Undetectable = Untransmittable among Midlife and Older Gay and Bisexual Men in the US South.

One of the most significant innovations in HIV prevention is the use of HIV treatment to prevent HIV transmission. This information has been disseminated as the "Undetectable = Untransmittable" (U = U) message. Despite evidence of effectiveness, U = U awareness, belief, and understanding remains limited in some communities.

Novel imaging markers for altered cerebrovascular morphology in aging, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease.

Background And Purpose: Altered brain vasculature is a key phenomenon in several neurologic disorders. This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the anatomical variations in the Circle of Willis (CoW) and vascular morphology in healthy aging, acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Methods: We used our novel automatic method to segment and extract geometric features of the cerebral vasculature from MR angiography scans of 175 healthy subjects, which were used to create a probabilistic atlas of cerebrovasculature and to study normal aging and intersubject variations in CoW anatomy.

Evaluation of taste active peptides and amino acids from anchovy proteins in fish sauce by in silico approach.

Enzymatic activity and microbial fermentation play a prominent role in the bioconversion of complex muscle tissue into smaller units of peptides and amino acids, possibly contribute to sensory properties. Thus, this study screens and evaluate anchovy proteins with taste-active peptides and amino acids by the reaction of multiple enzymes using an in silico approach. Information about sensory components was provided based on an in silico analysis using tools available in the BIOPEP-UWM database.

Metallic Effects on p-Hydroxyphenyl Porphyrin Thin-Film-Based Planar Optical Waveguide Gas Sensor: Experimental and Computational Studies.

Metal effects on the gas sensing behavior of metal complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (THPP) thin film was investigated in terms of detecting NO gas by the planar optical waveguide. For this purpose, several THPP and metal complexes were synthesized with different central metal ions: Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II). Planar optical gas sensors were fabricated with the metalloporphyrins deposited on K ion-exchanged soda-lime glass substrate with the spin coating method serving as host matrices for gas interaction.
