Butyl-methacrylate-based porous monoliths were prepared inside fused-silica capillaries as reversed-phase separation media for liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC). During our previous research on methacrylate-based monoliths for reversed-phase separations, we noticed that a separation efficiency of up to 300,000 plates/m can easily be obtained in the CEC mode for unretained compounds. However, the efficiencies for retained compounds were much lower in reversed-phase systems, especially in pressure-driven LC. In this work methacrylate-based columns were prepared and characterized in terms of efficiency and retention in reversed-phase (pressure-driven) LC and in CEC. Much attention has been paid to the mass-transfer mechanism in the stationary phase. Factors that affect the plate heights for specific compounds have been investigated. A possible explanation for the relatively low separation efficiency of retained compounds and suggestions to improve molecular mass transfer are provided.

Bruises can affect the appearance and nutritional value of apples and cause economic losses. Therefore, the accurate detection of bruise levels and bruise time of apples is crucial. In this paper, we proposed a method that combines a self-designed multispectral imaging system with deep learning to accurately detect the level and time of bruising on apples.

Recent advances in interfacial solar steam generation have made direct solar desalination a promising approach for providing cost-effective and environmentally friendly clean water solutions. However, developing highly effective, salt-resistant solar absorbers for long-term desalination at high efficiencies and evaporation rates remains a significant challenge. We present a Janus hydrogel-based absorber featuring a surface modified with thermo-responsive hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and a hydrogel matrix containing photothermal conversion units, MXene, specifically designed for long-term seawater desalination.

Polymeric membranes with great processability are attractive for the H/CO separation required for hydrogen production from renewable biomass with carbon capture for utilization and sequestration. However, it remains elusive to engineer polymer architectures to obtain desired sub-3.3 Å ultramicropores to efficiently sieve H from CO.

Microfluidics is an emerging technology for buffer exchange in bioprocessing applications. However, achieving buffer exchange with simplicity of operation and high throughput in a straightforward channel design remains a challenge. This study presents a novel semicircular microchannel design that allows for the deterministic regulation of helical and Dean vortices through geometric confinement.

The purpose of this work was to create and assess Lornoxicam (LOR) loaded Novasomes (Novas) for the efficient treatment of ulcerative colitis. The study was performed using a 2 factorial design to investigate the impact of several formulation variables. Three separate parameters were investigated: Surface Active agent (SAA) type (), LOR concentration (), and SAA: Oleic acid ratio ().
