AI Article Synopsis
- The proposed model is an extended Ginzburg-Landau framework aimed at understanding the ambivalence region in dispersed water-oil flow in pipes, where phase inversion occurs.
- It draws parallels with classical mean-field theory of phase transitions, emphasizing how phase behavior changes in such flows.
- Key physical parameters for accurately representing this ambivalence region include the volume fraction of the injected phase and a friction factor.
Article Abstract
We propose an extended Ginzburg-Landau model for a description of the ambivalence region associated with the phenomenon of phase inversion observed in dispersed water-oil flow through a pipe. In analogy to the classical mean-field theory of phase transitions, it is shown that a good quantitative representation of the ambivalence region is obtained by using the injected phase volume fraction and a friction factor as the appropriate physical parameters.

Increasing demand for high-purity fine chemicals and a drive for process intensification of large-scale separations have driven significant work on the development of highly engineered porous materials with promise for sorption-based separations. While sorptive separations in porous materials offer energy-efficient alternatives to longstanding thermal-based methods, the particulate nature of many of these sorbents has sometimes limited their large-scale deployment in high-throughput applications such as gas separations, for which the necessary high feed flow rates and gas velocities accrue prohibitive operational costs. These processability limitations have been historically addressed through powder shaping methods aimed at the fabrication of structured sorbent contactors based on pellets, beads or monoliths, commonly obtained as extrudates.

Topology is being widely adopted to understand and to categorize quantum matter in modern physics. The nexus of topology orders, which engenders distinct quantum phases with benefits to both fundamental research and practical applications for future quantum devices, can be driven by topological phase transition through modulating intrinsic or extrinsic ordering parameters. The conjoined topology, however, is still elusive in experiments due to the lack of suitable material platforms.

Background: Foot orthoses (FOs) are commonly prescribed to reduce pain and improve function in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders, including those with chronic metatarsalgia (CM). Reducing the mechanical overload under the metatarsal heads during locomotion is the central point of the treatment for CM. Medially wedged FOs (MWFOs) with a metatarsal pad could further reduce pressure loading under the metatarsal heads and modify foot and ankle biomechanics compared to standard FOs (SFOs).

Aim: Development and optimization of raloxifene hydrochloride loaded lipid nanocapsule hydrogel for transdermal delivery.
Method: A 3 Box-Behnken Design and numerical optimization was performed to obtain the optimized formulation. Subsequently, the optimized raloxifene hydrochloride loaded lipid nanocapsule was developed using phase inversion temperature and characterized for physicochemical properties.
We investigate the ultrafast electron correlation effects during non-sequential double ionization (NSDI) of argon subjected to a combined femtosecond field composed of counter-rotating two-color circularly polarized (TCCP) pulse laser using a 3D classical ensemble model (CEM). Our simulation results reveal that manipulation of the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the external driving field modulates the dynamical behavior of the two electrons, resulting in a notable sensitivity of their momentum distribution to the relative phase of two components of the counter-rotating TCCP field. Through inversion analysis, we uncover the capability to direct electrons toward a single direction, thereby facilitating focused ion-electron collisions on the attosecond timescale.
