The effect of weakly charged insoluble karaya gum (KG) on zein colloidal nanoparticles (ZKGPs) for stabilizing Pickering emulsions was investigated. Due to weak surface charge, KG could cover the surface of zein particles by hydrogen bonds and weak electrostatic interactions. With the increase in coverage, the zeta potential of ZKGPs changed from positive to negative values close to zero and the average particle size tended to become larger. The closest neutral wettability (89.85°) was achieved when the zein/KG mass ratio was 1:1. The samples prepared with high oil volume fraction (φ = 0.5-0.75) and high particle concentration (1.0-1.3 %, w/v) formed emulsion gels easily and showed higher storage stability. CLSM images also confirmed that ZKGPs could be distributed in the continuous phase to enhance the emulsion network structure. Consequently, weakly charged ZKGPs reduced the emulsification energy barrier and increased the coverage and steric hindrance of particles at the oil/water interface. These findings provide new ideas for the development of stable Pickering emulsions for application in food textural modification as well as encapsulation and delivery of bioactive substances.

Heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are often among the hypothetical ingredients behind nonzero neutrino masses. If sufficiently light, they can be produced and detected in fixed-target-like experiments. We show that if the HNLs belong to a richer-but rather generic-dark sector, their production mechanism can deviate dramatically from expectations associated with the standard-model weak interactions.

In the present study, the Homotopy Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (HLMA) and the Parameter Variation Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (PV-LMA), both developed in the context of high-temperature composition, are proposed to address the equilibrium composition model of plasma under the condition of local thermodynamic and chemical equilibrium. This model is essentially a nonlinear system of weakly singular Jacobian matrices. The model was formulated on the basis of the Saha and Guldberg-Waage equations, integrated with Dalton's law of partial pressures, stoichiometric equilibrium, and the law of conservation of charge, resulting in a nonlinear system of equations with a weakly singular Jacobian matrix.

The precision in electron holography studies on electrostatic and magnetic fields depends on the image quality of an electron hologram. Enhancing the image quality of electron holograms is essential for the comprehensive analysis of weak electromagnetic fields; however, extended electron beam irradiation can lead to undesirable radiation damage and contamination. Recent studies have demonstrated that noise reduction using the wavelet hidden Markov model (WHMM) can improve the precision of phase analysis for limited thin-foiled crystals.

In this study, we constructed a pH/laccase dual responsive drug delivery system, denoted as IMI@(CMCS+SL)n, capable of modulating wall thickness and drug release via the layer-by-layer deposition of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and sodium lignosulfonate (SL). The IMI@(CMCS+SL)n microcapsules was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) EDS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and dynamic light scattering techniques (DLS) analysis. IMI@(CMCS+SL)n demonstrated not only a high loading capacity (exceeding 90 %) but also exhibited exceptional performance in sustained release and anti-termite activity of IMI.

For weakly interacting adsorbate/substrate systems, the integer charge transfer (ICT) model describes how charge transfer across interfaces depends on the substrate work function. In particular, work function regimes where no charge transfer occurs (vacuum level alignment) can be distinguished from regions where integer charge transfer by electron tunneling from substrate to adsorbate or vice versa takes place (Fermi level pinning). While the formation of singly integer charged molecular anions and cations of organic semiconductors on various substrates has been well described by this model, the double integer charging regime has so far remained unexplored and experimentally elusive.
