Okuaki and colleagues present a case video of a stent-stone complex formed by the anti-migration system of a self-expandable metallic stent used in endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage. As the stone caused gastric outlet obstruction, they successfully crushed it using a balloon catheter and electronic hydraulic lithotripsy with a two-channel scope.

For Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (EHA) with parametric uncertainties and mismatched and matched disturbances, most existing robust adaptive control strategies can achieve only uniformly ultimately bounded tracking errors. An Extended-State-Observer (ESO) based asymptotic control scheme is proposed by incorporating the prescribed performance control into the backstepping framework to ensure satisfied tracking performance and anti-disturbance ability of EHA systems. A novel ESO is designed to acquire an asymptotic estimation without prior bounds of the mismatched disturbance and its derivatives.

Plastics pollution has become a serious threat to the people and environment due to the mass production, unreasonable disposal and continuous pollution. Polyethylene (PE), one of the most utilized plastics all over the world, is considered as a highly recalcitrant environmental destruction problem on account of strong hydrophobicity and high molecular weight. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to seek economical and efficient treatment and disposal methods for PE.

Hydroxylamine (HA) dosing is an effective strategy for promoting partial nitrification (PN); however, its impact on endogenous denitrification remains underexplored. In this study, long-term continuous HA dosing (1.4 mg/L) was introduced for over 110 days in a pilot-scale anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic (AOA) system treating municipal wastewater (66.

Understanding the geochemical mechanisms governing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in groundwater is essential for mitigating health risks. However, the processes driving Cr(VI) accumulation and migration in loess regions remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated the occurrence, release, and migration mechanisms of Cr(VI) across different groundwater environmental units (GEUs) in the south-central Loess Plateau, China.

In flow-through reactors, the photodegradation rate can be improved by enhancing contact and increasing the photocatalyst loading. Both can be attained with a higher surface-to-volume ratio. While previous studies focused on thin membranes (30 - 130 µm) with small pore sizes of 20 - 650 nm, this work employed poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) supports, of which pore sizes are in the order of 10 µm, while the porosities and thicknesses are variable (22.
