Analysis of the partition coefficients of small organic compounds and proteins in different aqueous two-phase systems under widely varied ionic compositions shows that logarithms of partition coefficients for any three compounds or proteins or two organic compounds and one protein are linearly interrelated, although for protein(s) there are ionic compositions when the linear fit does not hold. It is suggested that the established interrelationships are due to cooperativity of different types of solute-solvent interactions in aqueous media. This assumption is confirmed by analysis of distribution coefficients of various drugs in octanol-buffer systems with varied ionic compositions of the buffer. Analysis of the partition coefficients characterizing distribution of variety of drugs between blood and different tissues of rats in vivo reported in the literature showed that the above assumption is correct and enabled us to identify the tissues with the components of which the drug(s) may engage in presumably direct interactions. It shows that the suggested assumption is valid for even complex biological systems.

This study investigates the underexplored area of the release mechanism and kinetics of the antimicrobial Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate (LAE®) from an innovative active packaging system based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV). We evaluated the impact of food simulants and temperatures on LAE® release, diffusion, and partition coefficients. Mathematical modeling was used to elucidate LAE® release kinetics, offering understanding of the release behaviour in food matrices.

Inclusion complexation of the sunscreen ingredient avobenzone (AVB) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was investigated to improve its aqueous solubility and photostability; another ultraviolet (UV) filter, oxybenzone (OXB), and the phytochemical antioxidant curcumin (CUR) served as a comparison. In this study, the 1-octanol/water partition coefficients, acid dissociation constants, phase-solubility diagrams with β-CD, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectral changes induced by UVA1 (365 nm) irradiation were evaluated. β-CD at concentrations 50-100 times that of AVB most effectively protected the photostability of AVB.

This study presents a novel algorithm for protocol reverse analysis of EtherCAT. The algorithm combines sequence alignment and the Pearson correlation coefficient. We utilize value distribution statistics and the bit flip rate algorithm to effectively partition the protocol fields.

This paper proposes a registration approach rooted in point cloud clustering and segmentation, named Clustering and Segmentation Normal Distribution Transform (CSNDT), with the aim of improving the scope and efficiency of point cloud registration. Traditional Normal Distribution Transform (NDT) algorithms face challenges during their initialization phase, leading to the loss of local feature information and erroneous mapping. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a method of adaptive cell partitioning.

A convenient, rapid, and environmentally friendly method, emulsive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography, was established to determine phthalic acid esters in tap, river, lake, and sea water. After the method's optimization, we obtained the appropriate volume of the extractant and pure water, the number of strokes, the separation methods, the mass volume fraction of the demulsifier, the demulsifier volume, the sample volume, the salt amount, and the pH conditions. This method requires only 200 μL of heptanoic acid (fatty acid) as the extractant and 75 mg of sodium acetate as demulsifiers for fast microextraction and separation, respectively, avoiding the use of further equipment.
