Epilepsy is characterized by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain that result in unprovoked seizures. Pharmacotherapy with antiepileptic drugs (AED) can help control the incidence of epileptic seizures. AED therapeutic regimens often need to be individually tailored. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of AED is required to optimize therapeutic efficacy and minimize the risk of any associated destructive toxicities. We describe a turbulent flow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (TFC-MS/MS) method for the detection of seven different AED in human serum. TFC-MS/MS testing was performed using a TLX-2 online sample preparation liquid chromatography (SPLC) system coupled to an API 5500 Q-Trap tandem mass spectrometer. Quantification of 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbamazepine, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, rufinamide, topiramate, and zonisamide was, respectively, performed using calibration curves (2-60 μg/mL, R > 0.99) with precisions of <10%.

Species of the complex cause postbloom fruit drop of citrus and anthracnose fruit rot of strawberries. produces acervuli in diseased citrus flowers and strawberry fruit, surviving asymptomatically on vegetative tissues. Previous studies have suggested that dispersal mechanisms other than windblown rain may be involved in dispersal of conidia of sensu lato.

Predicting the dynamics of turbulent fluids has been an elusive goal for centuries. Even with modern computers, anything beyond the simplest turbulent flows is too chaotic and multiscaled to be directly simulatable. An alternative is to treat turbulence probabilistically, viewing flow properties as random variables distributed according to joint probability density functions (PDFs).

A superresolution (SR) method for the reconstruction of Navier-Stokes (NS) flows from noisy observations is presented. In the SR method, first the observation data are averaged over a coarse grid to reduce the noise at the expense of losing resolution and, then, a dynamic observer is employed to reconstruct the flow field by reversing back the lost information. We provide a theoretical analysis, which indicates a chaos synchronization of the SR observer with the reference NS flow.

Wind turbine control is critical in power generation from wind, thus assuring great efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This has been a subject of intense research, and its advancements are critical to developing even better and efficient wind turbines. This research looks at several passive flow control mechanisms for horizontal wind turbines.

In the subauroral zone at the boundary of the auroral oval in the evening and night hours during geomagnetic disturbances, a narrow (about 1°-2°) and extended structure (several hours in longitude) is formed. It is known as a polarization jet (PJ) or the subauroral ion drift (SAID). The PJ/SAID is a fast westward ion drift and is one of the main signatures of a geomagnetic disturbance in the subauroral ionosphere at the altitudes of the F-layer, when the geomagnetic AE index reaches more than 500 nT.
