The jejunal absorption rate of amiodarone and the influence of lipids on it were studied in human volunteers using the intestinal perfusion technique. A nutrient solution (Realmentyl, Sopharga Laboratories, France) with 300 mg of the drug was infused for 120 minutes at the ligament of Treitz. The segment tested was 25 cm long. Two caloric loads of the nutrient solution, 3.3 Kcal/min (solution A) and 1.3 Kcal/min (solution B), A containing total lipid and caloric load 2.5 times higher than B, were administered. Minor interindividual differences in amiodarone absorption rate were observed (20.2 to 31.7%) with solution A. Amiodarone absorption correlated with lipid absorption significantly. Since the maximal plasma concentrations of the drug and the area under the curve (AUC/24 hours) did not correlate with the amount of amiodarone absorbed, the wide fluctuations of amiodarone pharmacokinetics must mainly be due to amiodarone tissue distribution and metabolic pathway.

We investigate a continuous electrochemical pH-swing method to capture CO from a gas phase. The electrochemical cell consists of a single cation-exchange membrane (CEM) and a recirculation of a mixture of salt and phenazine-based redox-active molecules. In the absorption compartment, this solution is saturated by CO from a mixed gas phase at high pH.

Metamaterials hold great promise for application in the field of perfect absorbers due to their remarkable ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In this work, a full-spectrum ultra-wideband solar absorber with a multilayer metal-dielectric stacked structure is designed. Our absorber is simple and easy to manufacture, with Ti serving as the substrate, overlaid with SiN spacer layers and four pairs of Ti-SiN ring columns.

However, nonresonant devices such as waveguides are susceptible to limitations in modulation efficiency and bandwidth during electro-optic modulation. In this paper, by utilizing chirp modulation resonance mode, we have realized an EO comb based on a lithium niobate resonator with small tooth spacing and high flatness.

Utilizing the input-output formalism, we quantitatively relate the probability of correctly inferring the presence or absence of the object to the probability of avoiding absorption. We show that, if the cavity decay rate due to absorption by the object is comparable to that of the empty cavity and to the object-induced detuning, the product of the two probabilities is maximized by an undercoupled cavity, in which case detection in transmission is favorable to that in reflection.
