This work presents dynamic optimization strategies of batch hydrothermal liquefaction of two microalgal species, Aurantiochytrium sp. KRS101 and Nannochloropsis sp. to optimize the reactor temperature profiles. Three dynamic optimization problems are solved to maximize the endpoint biocrude yield, minimize the final time, and minimize the reactor thermal energy. The biocrude maximization and time minimization problems demonstrated 11% and 6.18% increment in the optimal biocrude yields and reduction of 78.2% and 61.66% in batch times compared to the base cases for the microalgae with higher lipid and protein fractions, respectively. The energy minimization problem revealed a significant reduction in the reactor thermal energies to generate the targeted biocrude yields compared to the biocrude maximization. Therefore, the identified optimal temperature trajectories outperformed the conventional fixed temperature profiles and could improve the overall economics of the batch bio-oil production from the algal-based biorefineries by significantly enhancing the reactor performance.

Accurate detection of fabric defects is crucial for quality control in the textile industry. However, the task of fabric defect detection remains highly challenging due to the complex textures and diverse defect patterns. To address the issues of inaccurate localization and false positives caused by complex textures and varying defect sizes, this paper proposes an improved YOLOv8-based fabric defect detection method.

Clinical workplace learning is often suboptimal due to the dynamics of the clinical learning environment and several challenges encountered in clinical practice. At LUMC, clinical teachers introduced a novel blended learning program that included both the introduction of a Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) and Small Private Online Course (SPOC). This study aimed to analyze the educational content and design of our educational interventions, by categorizing and comparing the dimensions of the learning program before and after the interventions.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted widespread attention due to their potential to replace platinum-based catalysts in achieving efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), yet the rational optimization of SACs remains challenging due to their elusive reaction mechanisms. Herein, by employing ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and a thermodynamic integration method, we have constructed the potential-dependent free energetics of ORR on a single iron atom catalyst dispersed on nitrogen-doped graphene (Fe-N/C) and further integrated these parameters into a microkinetic model. We demonstrate that the rate-determining step (RDS) of the ORR on SACs is potential-dependent rather than invariant within the operative potential range.

CD28 is a costimulatory receptor that provides the second signal necessary for T-cell activation and is associated with diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and cancer. Targeting CD28 is crucial for both functional bioanalysis and therapeutic development. Molecular probes, particularly fluorescent probes, can enhance our understanding of CD28's cellular roles.

The formation of gastric precancerous-lesions (GPLs) has been identified as a critical step in tumorigenesis, and patients with GPLs have an increased risk of gastric cancer. Magnolol is the primary biphenolic compound in Magnolia officinalis. It possesses various pharmacological properties, such as cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties, and inhibit tumor growth.
