Published: September 2015

Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) containing neutral ionophores are used in clinical, industrial, and environmental analysis. The wide range of applications requires deep theoretical description. This work concentrates on the development of the general approach to the description of electro-diffusion processes, namely, Nernst-Planck-Poisson (NPP) model to allow the description of the time-dependent responses in the case of complexation reactions occurring in the ion-selective membranes. The impact of the chemical reaction on the calibration curves and apparent selectivity of ISE is discussed. Results obtained using NPP model with time-dependent reaction are compared with those obtained with the Phase Boundary Model (PBM), as well as with the previous solutions of NPP model, using the infinite reaction rates and constant ligand concentration assumption. The validity of these assumptions is investigated and the limitations of PBM in the description of neutral-carrier ISE are discussed.

Serving as a dedicated process analytical technology (PAT) tool for biomass monitoring and control, the capacitance probe, or dielectric spectroscopy, is showing great potential in robust pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially with the growing interest in integrated continuous bioprocessing. Despite its potential, challenges still exist in terms of its accuracy and applicability, particularly when it is used to monitor cells during stationary and decline phases. In this study, data pre-processing methods were first evaluated through cross-validation, where the first-order derivative emerged as the most effective method to diminish variability in prediction accuracy across different training datasets.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to have a devastating effect on the well-being of Ukrainians and their environment. We evaluated a major environmental hazard caused by the war: the potential for groundwater contamination in proximity to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). We quantified groundwater vulnerability with the DRASTIC index, which was originally developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and has been used at various locations worldwide to assess relative pollution potential.

With increasing urbanization pressures, there is an urgent need to improve the urban residents' well-being and achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Ecosystem services (ESs) are vital for human well-being (HW) and survival, providing essential benefits like clean water while supporting the SDGs. However, understanding the impact mechanism of urban ESs on the HW under the framework of the SGDs in a changing world remains challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • Reinforcement learning contrasts model-free (habitual) and model-based (goal-directed) decision-making, with the latter being more common in high-reward scenarios.
  • A study involving 81 participants revealed that frequent alcohol users lacked the ability to adjust their decision-making strategies based on reward levels, unlike non-users who displayed better model-based control in high-reward settings.
  • Both groups were less risk-averse in high stakes, but alcohol users were generally more prone to risky decisions and showed impaired flexibility in adapting to changing reward conditions.

Uncovering the response of plant functional types (PFTs) to nutrient limitation caused by atmospheric deposition is critical for assessing the health of terrestrial ecosystems under climate change conditions. However, it remains unclear how atmospheric deposition and underlying ecological factors affect PFTs globally. To address this, we compiled a global dataset of four PFTs, i.
