Large sample sizes of uranyl ions are eluted on a strenedivinylbenzene copolymer phase and an octadecyl phase column, respectively, using alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid (alpha-HiBA) as an eluent. Chromatograms are obtained from variations of the uranyl sample amounts, eluent concentrations, concentrations of the sample matrix, and the pH of the sample solution for both columns, respectively. Column capacities are estimated from the loading factors measured from the retention times of the peaks. Bandwidths of the peaks and apparent column efficiencies are measured as a function of the loading factor and calculated using the equations derived from the assumptions of a Langmuir isotherm for a single solute. Comparison between the experiment and the calculation reveals that the former showed a broader bandwidth and worse column efficiency than the latter for both columns. The two columns are compared with regards to the retention time, peak shape, column capacity, column efficiency, etc. The PRP-1 column shows a rectangular-, triangle-type peak shape, longer retention time, lower column capacity, and better column efficiency, and the LC-18 column shows a distorted Gaussian curve, shorter retention time, higher column capacity, and worse column efficiency. Column capacity, peak shape, and retention time are dependent on the eluent concentration rather than the alpha-HiBA concentration in the sample solutions.

Phosphorus (P) movement in soils is influenced by flow velocities, diffusion rates, and several soil characteristics and properties. In acidic soils, P is tightly bound to soil particles, reducing its availability to plants. Organomineral fertilizers combine organic matter with mineral nutrients, enhancing P fertilization efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts.

17α-methyltestosterone (17α-MT) is prevalent in the aqueous environment, but its toxicological profile remains incomplete. This study analyzed the effects of different 17α-MT concentrations on the growth performance, mortality, sex ratio, liver physiological metabolism, and intestinal microorganisms of Takifugu fasciatus, and on the microorganisms composition of its culture environment. Results showed that 17α-MT increased the male ratio and mortality but inhibited the growth of T.

Capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in vivo from the bloodstream lessens tumor metastasis and recurrence risks. However, the absence of CTC receptors due to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the limited binding capacity of a single ligand, and the complexity of the blood flow environment significantly reduce the efficiency of CTC capture in vivo. Herein, a multivalent ligand-decorated microsphere enrichment system (MLMES) is crafted that incorporates a capture column replete with an immunosorbent that precisely recognizes and binds the stably expressed cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) and glucose transporter protein 1 (GLUT1) receptors present on the exterior of CTCs.
