A method for characterizing and quantifying peaks formed in an analytical buoyant density equilibrium (ABDE) experiment is presented. An algorithm is derived to calculate the concentration of the density forming gradient material at every point in the cell, provided the rotor speed, temperature, meniscus position, bottom of the cell position, and the loading concentration, molar mass, and partial specific volume of the density gradient-forming material are known. In addition, a new peak fitting algorithm has been developed which allows the user to automatically quantify the peaks formed in terms of density, apparent partial specific volume, and relative abundance. The method is suitable for both ionic and non-ionic density forming materials and can be used with data generated from the UV optical system as well as the AVIV fluorescence optical system. These methods have been programmed in a new UltraScan-III module (us_abde). Examples are shown that demonstrate the application of the new module to adeno-associated viral vector preparations and proteins.

We present a two-phase field model and a hybrid particle-phase field model to simulate dilute colloidal sedimentation and flotation near a liquid-gas interface (or fluid-fluid interface in general). Both models are coupled to the incompressible Stokes equation, which is solved numerically using a combination of sine and regular Fourier transforms to account for the no-slip boundary conditions at the boundaries. The continuum two-phase field model allows us to analytically solve the equilibrium interfacial profile using a perturbative approach, demonstrating excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Desalination techniques using the photothermal effect hold significant potential for producing fresh water from saline or polluted sources due to their low energy consumption. In the case of commercialized carbon materials are related to heat loss resulting from high thermal conductivity, and metal particles still have trouble in commercialization or cost-effectiveness. This is because a photothermal desalination evaporator must simultaneously exhibit high water evaporation performance, excellent energy conversion efficiency, sufficient hydrophilicity, and low heat loss.

The properties of an active fluid, for example, a bacterial bath or a collection of microtubules and molecular motors, can be accessed through the dynamics of passive particle probes. Here, in the perspective of analyzing experimental situations of confinement in droplets, we consider the kinematics of a negatively buoyant probe particle in an active fluid, both confined within a spherical domain. The active bath generates a fluctuating flow that pushes the particle with a velocity that is modeled as a colored stochastic noise, characterized by two parameters, the intensity and memory time of the active flow.

Development of a hybrid multifunctional photothermal structure with multifunctional capabilities is deliberated as an effective approach for harvesting abundant solar energy for sustainable environmental applications. Achieving enhanced solar to thermal conversion efficiency utilizing a suitably designed, environmentally compatible thermal management structure however remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the intercalation of VO and polypyrrole into a graphene oxide layer to design a hybrid photothermal assembly (PPy-VO-GO) and its multifunctional proficiencies.

Analytical ultracentrifugation experiments play an integral role in the solution-phase characterization of biological macromolecules and their interactions. This unit discusses the design of sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium experiments performed with a Beckman Proteomelab XL-A or XL-I analytical ultracentrifuge and with a Beckman Optima AUC. Instrument settings and experimental design considerations are explained, and strategies for the analysis of experimental data with the UltraScan data analysis software package are presented.
