Important for the accurate and reproducible determination of inorganic redox forms of arsenic in iron-rich waters is their conservation prior to analysis. Species and trace element analysis methods are commonly laboratory based. Stabilisation of samples is necessary for subsequent laboratory analysis in order to preserve the information about the system from which the samples were taken. Pre-treatment procedures based on complexation of metal ions and moderate acidification of the samples are presented. The concentration of the stabilisation agent and the storage temperature were optimised. The most satisfactory results were obtained with 0.01 mol l(-1) phosphoric acid and a storage at 6 degrees C.

Background: The Vero cell rabies vaccine is currently the most widely used human rabies vaccine. However, owing to the presence of residual host cell DNA (HCD) in the final product and the potential tumorigenicity of the DNA of high-passage Vero cells, the WHO not only sets a limit on the number of times cells used in production can be passaged, but also imposes strict requirements on the amount of residual HCD in the final vaccine product.
Objectives: To systematically reduce the HCD level in the final vaccine product, multiple purification steps are included in the vaccine production process.

Objectives: This study investigated the dynamics of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and PCV3 on a commercial farm following PCV2 vaccination.
Methods: Serum samples from 35 pigs, starting at 3 weeks of age, were collected weekly until 21 weeks of age. Oral fluids from six pens of pigs of the same age were also analyzed.

This study addresses the challenges of magnetic circuit coupling and control complexity in active radial magnetic bearings (ARMBs) by systematically investigating the electromagnetic performance of four magnetic pole configurations (NNSS, NSNS, NNNN, and SSSS). Initially, equivalent magnetic circuit modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to analyze the magnetic circuit coupling phenomena and their effects on the magnetic flux density distribution for each configuration. Subsequently, the air gap flux density and electromagnetic force were quantified under rotor eccentricity caused by unbalanced disturbances, and the dynamic performances of the ARMBs were evaluated for eccentricity along the x-axis and at 45°.

This study presents a detailed analysis of the stability of weigh-in-motion sensors used at vehicle weighing stations. The objective of this research was a long-term assessment of reading variability, with a particular focus on the sensors' application in automated measurement stations. These investigations constitute a critical component of modern traffic management systems and vehicle overload control.

: This study aims to broaden the knowledge on co-amorphous phospholipid systems (CAPSs) by exploring the formation of CAPSs with a broader range of poorly water-soluble drugs, celecoxib (CCX), furosemide (FUR), nilotinib (NIL), and ritonavir (RIT), combined with amphiphilic phospholipids (PLs), including soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC), hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (HPC), and mono-acyl phosphatidylcholine (MAPC). : The CAPSs were initially prepared at equimolar drug-to-phospholipid (PL) ratios by mechano-chemical activation-based, melt-based, and solvent-based preparation methods, i.e.
