The simulation of the behaviour of two proteins (cytochrom c and alpha-chymotrypsinogen) on two types of stationary phases (monolithic and porous particle-based) was attempted for non-linear (simulation of breakthrough curves) and linear (simulation of elution peaks) cation exchange chromatography. It was found that the combination of a stoichiometric model (steric mass action, SMA) with the lumped pore diffusion (POR) model allows a simulation of high predictive value. Using one set of SMA and transport parameters for a given column morphology and/or protein, breakthrough curves and peaks could be simulated that agreed well with the experimental data while no dependency on either the protein load or the mobile phase composition (salt content) was observed. One of the SMA parameters, namely the characteristic charge needed some slight adjustment (within the error of the experimental determination of this parameter) in order to optimise the fit.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to explore the performance of a predictive model for swallowing-induced breakthrough pain established using a redefined delineation method based on the common occurrence sites of radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods And Materials: A total of 208 patients with locally advanced NPC were included in the study cohort, and the test cohort consisted of 88 patients. The oral mucosa structure was contoured using oral cavity contour (OCC), mucosal surface contour (MSC), and oral-pharyngeal mucosa (OPM) methods, and relevant dosimetric parameters were collected.

The target reservoir is a typical blocky bottom water reservoir. There are several interlayers of varying scales inside it, which impact the characteristics of the oil production and water breakthrough curves of the wells in the water flooding development oilfield, resulting in strong heterogeneity within the reservoir. The Sangtamu Oilfield has an average well spacing of approximately 600 m, causing a challenge in accurately identifying the range of small-scale interlayer spreading.

Pesticide contamination in wastewater poses a significant environmental challenge, driven by extensive agricultural use. This study evaluates the removal of chlorpyrifos (CPS) using sugarcane bagasse-based biochar alginate beads in a continuous fixed-bed adsorption column, achieving a remarkable 95-98% removal efficiency. Compared to conventional adsorbents like activated carbon, which typically show CPS adsorption capacities ranging from 50 to 70 mg g⁻ under similar conditions, the biochar alginate beads demonstrate better performance with a sorption capacity of 91.

Calcium plays an important role in regulating various neuronal activities in human brains. Investigating the dynamics of the calcium level in neurons is essential not just for understanding the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders but also as a quantitative gauge to evaluate the influence of drugs on neuron activities. Accessing human brain tissue to study neuron activities has historically been challenging due to ethical concerns.
