The authors describe methods of cation-anion analysis of aqueous media by the capillary electrophoresis technique with reference to the detection of the products of explosion and combustion of mixed explosives and pyrotechnic compositions. The possibility to use the results thus obtained for the study of an explosion injury is discussed. Optimal conditions for the separation of chloride, nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, sulfide, chlorate, and perchlorate ions are determined. The efficiency of the proposed methods for the characteristic of the cation-anion composition of the aqueous medium to identify the products of explosion and combustion of mixed explosives and pyrotechnic compounds is exemplified by their application in the forensic medical practice. It is concluded that the above techniques can be used to study explosion injuries.

Valorization of Xylose-Rich Medium from Stalks for Lactic Acid Production via Microbial Fermentation.
Polymers (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Engineering, Pegaso Telematic University, 80143 Naples, Italy.
Lactic acid (LA) is a versatile, optically active compound with applications across the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, largely driven by its role in producing biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA). Due to its abundance, lignocellulosic biomass is a promising and sustainable resource for LA production, although media derived from these matrices are often rich in xylose and contain growth inhibitors. This study investigates LA production using a xylose-rich medium derived from DC stalks treated through steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis.

Unlabelled: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes multiple cerebrovascular disruptions and oxidative stress. These pathological mechanisms are often accompanied by serious impairment of cerebral blood flow autoregulation and neuronal and glial degeneration.
Background/objectives: Multiple biochemical cascades are triggered by brain damage, resulting in reactive oxygen species production alongside blood loss and hypoxia.
Physical Simulation Experiment on the Rock Breaking Efficiency of Pulse Type Controllable Shock Wave.
ACS Omega
December 2024
Shenmu Ningtiaota Mining Company, Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group, Shenmu, Shaanxi 719300, China.
Given that conducting controllable shock wave tests in actual rock formations underground in coal mines affects coal mine production with the parameters required for equipment design and incurs significant costs, a series of ground tests were conducted separately. First, the impact of energy storage on rock breaking efficiency was analyzed. Then, physical simulation experiments were conducted on the differential efficiency of controllable shock waves on high-strength cement, sandstone, granite, solid granite, and limestone.

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and energy release characteristics of different types of coal in pulse detonation engines (PDE) to advance the development of deep coal fluidization detonation technology, achieving more efficient and cleaner coal utilization. Using a custom PDE setup, experiments were conducted with four coal types at mass flow rates from 30 to 120 g/s. High-frequency pressure sensors assessed pressure dynamics and detonation wave propagation, complemented by numerical simulations for accuracy.

Detecting shielded special nuclear material, such as nuclear explosives, is a difficult challenge pursued by non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, and nuclear security programs worldwide. Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source availability and proven instrumentation. In this study we have pioneered a demonstration of such an interrogation method using a high-intensity, short-pulse, laser-driven neutron source that offers potential benefits compared to conventional neutron sources.
