In this paper, we examine the virial- and the potential-energy correlation for quasireal model systems. This correlation constitutes the framework of the theory of the isomorph in the liquid phase diagram commonly examined using simple liquids. Interestingly, our results show that for the systems characterized by structural anisotropy and flexible bonds, the instantaneous values of total virial and total potential energy are entirely uncorrelated. It is due to the presence of the intramolecular interactions because the contributions to the virial and potential energy resulting from the intermolecular interactions still exhibit strong linear dependence. Interestingly, in contrast to the results reported for simple liquids, the slope of the mentioned linear dependence is different than the values of the density scaling exponent. However, our findings show that for quasireal materials, the slope of dependence between the virial and potential energy (resulting from the intermolecular interactions) strongly depends on the interval of intermolecular distances that are taken into account. Consequently, the value of the slope of the discussed relationship, which enables satisfactory density scaling, can be obtained. Interestingly, this conclusion is supported by the results obtained for analogous systems without intermolecular attraction, for which the value the slope of the virial-potential-energy correlation is independent of considered intermolecular distances, directly corresponds to the exponent of the intermolecular repulsion, and finally leads to accurate density scaling.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) dramatically improves clinical outcomes, but the final infarct volume (FIV) on MRI only accounts for a minority of the treatment effect. An imaging biomarker that more strongly correlates with post-EVT functional outcome would be helpful for clinical prognosis and serve as a surrogate outcome measure in trials of EVT-adjuvant therapies. Here, we aimed to validate a novel MRI-based metric, infarct density, which leverages post-EVT apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a marker of infarct severity.

Increasing demand for high-purity fine chemicals and a drive for process intensification of large-scale separations have driven significant work on the development of highly engineered porous materials with promise for sorption-based separations. While sorptive separations in porous materials offer energy-efficient alternatives to longstanding thermal-based methods, the particulate nature of many of these sorbents has sometimes limited their large-scale deployment in high-throughput applications such as gas separations, for which the necessary high feed flow rates and gas velocities accrue prohibitive operational costs. These processability limitations have been historically addressed through powder shaping methods aimed at the fabrication of structured sorbent contactors based on pellets, beads or monoliths, commonly obtained as extrudates.

Background: Postprandial lipemia (PPL) has been recognised as a cardiovascular disease risk factor. Appetite and PPL can be influenced by the length of saturated fatty acids (FAs). Thus, this study aims to investigate if different FA chain lengths have different impacts on appetite and PPL in healthy volunteers.

Background: Previous studies have shown that dyslipidemia is significantly associated with primary frozen shoulder and may be a risk factor for the development of primary frozen shoulder. However, these findings may be biased by a number of confounding factors. We investigated the association between serum lipids and primary frozen shoulder by retrospective analysis and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.
