Variation of bioavailable phosphorus forms on suspended solids under short-term and repeated sediment disturbance was investigated, using sediments and overlying water from Meiliang Bay and Yueliang Bay. The results showed that the average percentage of algae available phosphorus (AAP) in the dissolved total phosphorus (DTP) decreased with the increase of disturbance number. The NH4Cl-P and bioavailable particulate phosphorus (BAPP) on the suspended solids increased by 3.5%, 37.3% (Meiliang Bay) and 2.0%, 50.7% (Yueliang Bay), respectively. In addition, the AAP and its percentage of AAP in Tot-P on the suspended solids in Meiliang Bay increased with the increase of disturbance number. However, the case was the opposite for Yueliang Bay. During the disturbance, the BAPP was higher than the sum of NH4Cl-P and AAP, indicating that the sum of NH4Cl-P and AAP constituted 80% of BAPP. It also suggested that estimating the BAPP on the suspended solids using the sum of NH4Cl-P and AAP is problematic.

Droplets impinging on sparse microgrooved polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces with different solid fractions was experimentally investigated. First, wettability and stability of droplets on these surfaces was analyzed. The advancing and receding contact angles were found to have a large difference between in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse one, which could be attributed to the anisotropy of the micropatterned surfaces.

The performance of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) bioreactors treating sulfate (SO) -rich effluents depends on multiple factors, including microbial interactions and operational conditions. The high complexity of these systems necessitates the use of mathematical modelling tools to better understand the process and predict the long-term impacts of various operational variables. In this work, a mathematical model describing the long-term operation of a sulfate-fed 2.

The consideration of scarcity and overexploitation of freshwater at the organizational level increased interest in the water footprint. The water footprint measures freshwater use for activities, taking into account water consumption and pollution contamination by classifying consumed water into groundwater and surface water (blue water), rainwater (green water), and polluted water (grey water). This study aims to identify a comprehensive water footprint inventory analysis for a denim washing organization and assess the grey water footprint (GWF) based on the effluent concentration of pollution indicators (chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N), and phenol) measured monthly in 2021.

Dosage forms containing Ivermectin (IVER) and Praziquantel (PRAZ) are important combination drug products in animal health. Understanding the relationship between products with differing in vitro release characteristics and bioequivalence could facilitate generics. The goal of this study was to create granulations for each active ingredient, with similar release mechanisms, but substantially different in vitro release rates, and then compressing these granulations into tablets with differing release rates.

The current project was designed to develop piperine-loaded solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) to assess the anti-arthritic potential of piperine (PIP). Variable proportions of carnauba wax, beeswax, and tween 80 were employed for preparing SLMs by using the solvent evaporation technique. The developed formulations were subjected to particle size measurements, entrapment efficiency (EE), and zeta potential (ZP) determination.
