Article Synopsis
- A Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MMIP) was created using naringin as a template molecule and acrylamide as a functional monomer, utilizing ultrasound to enhance its ability to adsorb naringin.
- Surprisingly, the MMIP showed a stronger affinity for quercetin than for its intended target, naringin, leading to further studies on its adsorption properties and kinetics.
- The research led to a maximum adsorption capacity of 7.2 mg/g for quercetin and 4.9 mg/g for naringin, and quercetin was successfully quantified from onion peel waste using the MMIP combined with HPLC-UV technology.
This article presents a novel bonding method for chip packaging applications in the semiconductor industry, with a focus on downsizing high-density and 3D-stacked interconnections to improve efficiency and performance. Microfluidic electroless interconnections have been identified as a potential solution for bonding pillar joints at low temperatures and pressures. However, the complex and time-consuming nature of their production process hinders their suitability for mass production.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining intra-peritoneal dexamethasone with bupivacaine versus using bupivacaine alone for pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- 84 patients were randomly assigned to receive either a mix of bupivacaine and dexamethasone or bupivacaine only, and pain levels were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and rescue analgesic consumption.
- Results showed that the group receiving dexamethasone experienced significantly lower pain levels, used less rescue analgesic, and took longer to require their first dose of pain relief compared to the bupivacaine-only group.
Microchannels with integrated pillars have enhanced the production capabilities and performance of various applications due to their high surface-to-volume ratio. However, emerging gas bubbles can become trapped, potentially limiting the functionality or efficiency of the device when scaled down to the low-micrometer scale. Understanding the conditions required to dislodge these bubbles is thus critical for optimizing microfluidic devices with complex physical behaviors.
