In high-performance liquid chromatography, the dependence of retention factor k on volumetric fraction ϕ of organic phase is expressed by log k = F(ϕ) with F(ϕ) obtained by measuring log k at different ϕ values. From F(ϕ), a value k is calculated by taking ϕ = 0. The equation log k = F(ϕ) is applied for predicting k, and k is a descriptor of hydrophobic character of solutes and stationary phases. Calculated k should not depend on the nature of organic component of mobile phase but extrapolation procedure leads to different k for different organic components. The present study shows that the expression of F(ϕ) changes depending on the range of ϕ and the same function F(ϕ) cannot be used for the full range of ϕ from 0 to 1. Consequently, k obtained by extrapolation of ϕ to zero is not correct because the expression of F(ϕ) was generated by fitting the data using ϕ with higher values. The present study shows the proper way to obtain the value of k .

In today's data-intensive atmosphere, performance evaluation in the banking industry depends on timely and accurate insights, leading to better decision making and operational efficiency. Traditional methods for assessing bank performance often need to be improved to handle the volume, velocity, and variety of data generated in real time. This study proposes an event-driven approach for performance evaluation in banking alongside a Hadoop-based architecture.

Background: In malignant melanoma, liver metastases significantly reduce survival, even despite highly effective new therapies. Given the increase in metabolic liver diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), this study investigated the impact of liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC)-specific alterations in MASLD/MASH on hepatic melanoma metastasis.
Methods: Mice were fed a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet for ten weeks to induce MASH-associated liver fibrosis, or a CDAA diet or a high fat diet (HFD) for shorter periods of time to induce early steatosis-associated alterations.

Achieving stable Zn anodes is essential for advancing high-performance Zn metal batteries. Here, we propose a Sabatier principle inspired bifunctional transition-metal (TM) interface to enable homogeneous Zn dissolution during discharging and dendrite-free Zn deposition during charging. Among various TM-coated Zn (TM@Zn) electrodes, Cu@Zn exhibits the highest reversibility and structural stability, attributed to the optimal interaction between Cu and Zn.

Integrated care demands a workforce that is confident, capable and compassionate. This is dependent on a willingness to work inter-professionally and understand the roles, standards and values of other professional groups. However, there are few examples of integrated care initiatives within higher education that aim to build the knowledge and skills required to support effective integrated, people-centred care.

Supercapacitors are rapidly gaining attention as next-generation energy storage devices due to their superior power and energy densities. This study pioneers the investigation of Mn/Zn co-doping in α-Cu₂V₂O₇ (CVO) to enhance its performance as a supercapacitor electrode material. Structural and local Structural properties of Mn/Zn co-doped CVO have been investigated through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), revealing significant distortions that enhance supercapacitor performance.
