The pressure driven slip flow of an electrolyte solution is studied through different nanofluidic channel lengths at varying salt concentrations. The viscous-thickening due to the electrostatic interactions within the electric double layer and the reverse ionic transport due to the streaming potential are developed. The influence of the Navier slip boundary condition is described under both electroviscous and viscoelectric effects with a surface charge regulation (CR) model while the observed behavior is compared and validated with molecular dynamic (MD) calculations from multiple studies. Results show that electroviscous and viscoelectric effects decrease transport. Earlier studies at the no slip boundary presented an increase of ionic current by increasing salt concentration and decreasing channel length. In contrast, our study found that the ionic current occurred almost independent of both salt concentration and channel length, except for very short channels and very low salt concentrations, when electroviscous and viscoelectric effects were considered. In the case of the constant slip length condition, ionic conduction was enhanced, but velocity slip developing on surfaces showed significant variation based on the salt concentration and channel length. This is due to the natural CR behavior enhancing the surface charge and consequential near surface electrohydrodynamics as a result of increase in salt concentration and/or decrease of channel length. Considering that the electroviscous effect alone creates up to 70% lower velocity slips than Poiseuille flow predictions, while further including the viscoelectric effect, results in an almost no-slip condition at high salt concentrations and/or short channels. As a result, the ionic current of a viscoelectric electroviscous slip flow is found to be equal to 1/3 of an electroviscous slip flow and to decrease with a decrease in the channel length.

Introduction: Dysfunction of the enteric nervous system (ENS) is linked to a myriad of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel found throughout the GI tract, but its role in the ENS is largely unknown. We hypothesize that Piezo1 plays an important role in the growth and development of the ENS.

Background: Investigating the application of single-port single-channel and single-port multi-channel adrenalectomy in various maximum tumor diameters.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 218 adrenal tumors treated with single-port retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy at Lianyungang Clinical Medical College of Nanjing Medical University from September 2018 to November 2023. All adrenal tumors are benign lesions classified as T1 stage.

The co-existence of microplastics (MPs) and organic pollutants on agricultural ecosystems pose potential implications for both food safety and environmental integrity. The combined effects of MPs with Dechlorane Plus (DP), a newly listed banned flame retardant, remain unknown. This study explores the biological responses of soybean plants to exposure from polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs and DP.

The coherent spin waves, magnons, can propagate without accompanying charge transports and Joule heat dissipation. Room-temperature and long-distance spin waves propagating within nanoscale spin channels are considered promising for integrated magnonic applications, but experimentally challenging. Here we report that long-distance propagation of chiral magnonic edge states can be achieved at room temperature in manganite thin films with long, antiferromagnetically coupled spin spirals (millimetre length) and low magnetic Gilbert damping (~3.
