Hydrodynamic disintegration of activated sludge resulted in organic matter and polymers transfer from the solid phase into the liquid phase. Disintegration by hydrodynamic cavitation had a positive effect on the degree and rate of excess sludge anaerobic digestion. Also, addition of a part of anaerobic digested sludge containing adapted microorganisms resulted in acceleration of the process. The disruption of cells of foam microorganisms and addition to the digestion process led to an increase of biogas production.

The development of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems enables targeted delivery and environment-controlled drug release, thereby minimizing off-target effects and systemic toxicity. We prepared and studied tailor-made dual-responsive systems (thermo- and pH-) based on synthetic diblock copolymers consisting of a fully hydrophilic block of poly[-(1,3-dihydroxypropyl)methacrylamide] (poly(DHPMA)) and a thermoresponsive block of poly[-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methacrylamide] (poly(DHPMA-acetal)) as drug delivery and smart stimuli-responsive materials. The copolymers were designed for eventual medical application to be fully soluble in aqueous solutions at 25 °C.

The effects of glass bead size in the conical space of flow-through cells on the dissolution profiles were investigated in a USP apparatus 4. Dissolution tests of disintegrating and non-disintegrating tablets in flow-through dissolution systems were performed using semi-high precision glass beads with diameters ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.

Nano- and micro-sized vesicular and colloidal structures mediate cell-cell communication. They are important players in the physiology of plants, animals, and humans, and are a subject of increasing interest. We investigated the effect of three surfactants, N-cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and Triton X-100 (TX100), and two anionic polyelectrolytes, sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) and sodium polymethacrylate (NaPMA), on nanoliposomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the antibacterial effectiveness of Tryptophan-coordinated silver nanoparticles (Ag-TrpNPs) using conventional and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy techniques.
- Ag-TrpNPs are considered promising due to their antibacterial properties, but their potential toxicity necessitates coordination with biocompatible molecules like Tryptophan.
- Results showed significant zones of inhibition for E. coli, confirming the Ag-TrpNPs' efficacy against bacteria at various concentrations, with optical characterization techniques confirming their size and morphology.
Hydrodynamic modulation instability triggered by a two-wave system.

Article Synopsis
- Modulation instability (MI) causes regular nonlinear wave trains to break down, potentially resulting in localized phenomena like rogue waves across various nonlinear dispersive media, including hydrodynamics and optics.
- The classical MI dynamics can start with small-amplitude sidebands around a main wave peak, often visualized as a three-wave interaction setup in experiments, but more complex patterns can emerge through breather solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE).
- This study explores MI in deep-water surface gravity waves, demonstrating that it can be initiated by just a single unstable sideband, yielding experimental results that align closely with nonlinear simulations, while also indicating shifts in focusing cycle behavior observed in longer-term wave evolution.
