Optimal buffer size for a stochastic processing network in heavy traffic

We consider a one-dimensional stochastic control problem that arises from queueing network applications. The state process corresponding to the queue-length process is given by a stochastic differential equation which reflects at the origin. The controller can choose the drift coefficient which represents the service rate and the buffer size b>0. When the queue length reaches b, the new customers are rejected and this incurs a penalty. There are three types of costs involved: A “control cost” related to the dynamically controlled service rate, a “congestion cost” which depends on the queue length and a “rejection penalty” for the rejection of the customers. We consider the problem of minimizing long-term average cost, which is also known as the ergodic cost criterion. We obtain an optimal drift rate (i.e. an optimal service rate) as well as the optimal buffer size b ^*>0. When the buffer size b>0 is fixed and where there is no congestion cost, this problem is similar to the work in Ata, Harrison and Shepp (Ann. Appl. Probab. 15, 1145–1160, 2005). Our method is quite different from that of (Ata, Harrison and Shepp (Ann. Appl. Probab. 15, 1145–1160, 2005)). To obtain a solution to the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, we analyze a family of ordinary differential equations. We make use of some specific characteristics of this family of solutions to obtain the optimal buffer size b ^*>0. A.P.

Latest advances in zwitterionic structures modified dialysis membranes

End-stage renal diseases are affecting many patients and as a result, demand to receive dialysis service is growing annually. Morbidity and mortality rates are reported to be higher in comparison with healthy humans. The reason is reported to be the hemoincompatiblity of blood purification membranes, which hinders patients’ lives. Activation of different immune systems in the body, in case of blood-membrane interaction, results in several side effects, of which cardiovascular shocks have been mentioned to be a major one. Efforts to solve this issue have resulted in different generations of dialysis membranes. Zwitterionic immobilized membranes are the latest (third) generation, which owns a higher degree of hemocompatiblity with more stability of immobilized structures. This critical review intends to cover recent efforts conducted over the zwitterionization of polymeric membrane surfaces with the goal of improving hemocompatibility. Different aspects of third-generation membranes are discussed for a better understanding of the current gap and gathering the knowledge to further develop the field. Accordingly, this critical survey provides an in-depth understanding of blood purification membranes zwitterionization for paving the way for the optimum enhancement of hemodialysis membrane hemocompatibility.     

Effects of liquid chromatography mobile phase buffer contents on the ionization and fragmentation of analytes in liquid chromatographic/ionspray tandem mass spectrometric determination

The effects of liquid chromatography mobile phase buffer contents on the ionization and fragmentation of drug molecules in liquid chromatographic/ionspray tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) determination were evaluated for simvastatin (SV) and its hydroxy acid (SVA). The objective was to improve further the sensitivity for SV by overcoming the unfavorable condition caused by the formation of multiple major adduct ions and multiple major fragment ions when using ammonium as LC mobile phase buffer. Mobile phases (70:30 acetonitrile-buffer, 2 mM, pH 4.5) with buffers made from ammonium, hydrazine or alkyl (methyl, ethyl, dimethyl or trimethyl)-substituted ammonium acetate were evaluated. Q1 scan and product ion scan spectra were obtained for SV in each of the mobile phases under optimized conditions. The results showed that, with the alkylammonium buffers, the alkylammonium-adducted SV was observed as the only major molecular ion, while the formation of other adduct ions ([M + H](+), [M + Na](+) and [M + K](+)) was successfully suppressed. On the other hand, product ion spectra with a single major fragment ion were not observed for any of the alkylammonium-adducted SVs. The affinity of the alkylammoniums to SV and the basicity of the alkylamines are believed to be factors influencing the formation and abundance of molecular and fragment ions, respectively. Methylammonium acetate provided the most favorable condition among all the buffers evaluated and improved the sensitivity several-fold for SV in LC/MS/MS quantitation compared with that obtained using ammonium acetate buffer. Better precision for SV in both Q1 and SRM scans was observed when using methylammonium buffer compared with those using ammonium buffer. The mobile phase buffer contents did not seem to affect the ionization, fragmentation and chromatography of SVA. The results of this evaluation can be applied to similar situations with other organic molecules in ionspray LC/MS/MS determination.     

Effect of citrate impurities on the reference pH value of potassium dihydrogen buffer solution

Solutions of potassium dihydrogen citrate, KH₂C₆H₅O₇, exhibit reference pH values close to those of the primary standard pH buffer solutions of tartrate and phthate. Nevertheless, as opposed to all other recommended primary buffer standards, the citrate reagent is not commercially available as a standard reference material (SRM).In this work, experiments have been performed on solid reagent from different sources, which revealed the presence of the various citrate species in variable amounts. This may arise from the sensitivity of the system to the purification strategy, owing to the proximity of the acidity constants of the triprotic citric acid, H₃C₆H₅O₇.An experimental procedure has been developed which leads to a satisfactory preparation of the citrate reagent, to an extent that its solutions, independently of batch on supplier, exhibit reproducible pH values, in agreement with the conventionally assigned pH (S) = 3.776 at 25 °C for 0.05 m KH₂C₆H₅O₇.Comparison of expected and experimental values is used as a quantitative test for the quality of reagent, eventually indicating the need for purification according to recommendations.     

Cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography for separation of norgestrel enantiomers

A simple method for the separation of highly hydrophobic neutral enantiomers by cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chro-matography (MEKC) is presented and strongly supported by experiments. The separation depends on the ratio between the concentrations of cyclodextrin (CD) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) micelles and there is an optimum value of the ratio for the separation of the enantiomers of norgestrel and 4-androstene-3,17-dione. At the optimum value of the ratio, obtained by adjusting the absolute concentrations of CD and SDS. The electrophoretic mobility difference between two enantiomers can be maintained nearly constant.     

Evaluation of Cu–Ethylenediamine Metal Ion Buffers as Calibrants for Ion‐Selective Electrode Measurement of Copper in Fresh Water Systems

An investigation was made into the accuracy of cupric ion selective electrode (ISE) measurement of Cu in solutions approximating acidic freshwaters with Cu‐ethylenediamine buffers used as the calibrants. This method overestimates the free Cu compared with calibration using Cu(NO₃)₂ standards, the standard addition method, and speciation modelling calculations. Statistical tests showed a small, but significant, difference between the intercepts of the linear Nernstian regressions of the calibration plots of Cu‐en buffer standardisation and direct calibration with Cu(NO₃)₂ standards in matrix that matches the samples. The difference in the intercepts, which corresponds with E_o values of the electrode, is not well understood, but is possibly caused by potentially interfering cations such as Fe²⁺. The results of this study showed that down to 10^?8 M Cu²⁺, where a linear Nernstian response is possible, the Cu ISE is probably better calibrated using Cu standards prepared in the same matrix as the sample solutions to avoid potential matrix effects.     

Comparison of dodecoxycarbonylvaline microemulsion, solvent-modified micellar and micellar pseudostationary phases for the chiral analysis of pharmaceutical compounds

A direct comparison of dodecoxycarbonylvaline (DDCV) microemulsion, micellar and butanol-modified micellar aggregate systems was performed employing both 2 and 4% DDCV. With respect to either DDCV concentration, use of the micellar system provided the largest elution range, followed by the butanol-modified micellar system and ultimately the microemulsion. Using 2% DDCV, all three aggregate analyses yielded similar values for enantioselectivity, resolution and retention factors that were slightly better using the micellar phase, but efficiencies were consistently better using either the microemulsion or butanol-modified micellar phases. Largely, the microemulsion and butanol-modified micellar phases behaved fairly similar, although use of the butanol-modified micelle provided resolution and efficiency that were slightly better for all but two of the compounds. While reasonable separations were achieved using 2% DDCV, the results using 4% DDCV for the microemulsion system were far superior. Analyses using analogous micellar and butanol-modified micellar aggregates were unstable, making them unsuitable for use at that surfactant concentration.
