Determination of phenolic compounds in water samples by HPLC following ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and cold-induced aggregation

We report on the determination of bisphenol A and 2-naphthol in water samples using ionic liquid cold-induced aggregation dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with HPLC. Parameters governing the extraction efficiency (disperser solvent, volume of extraction and disperser solvent, pH, temperature, extraction time) were optimized and resulted in enrichment factors of 112 for bisphenol A and of 186 for 2-naphthol. The calibration curve was linear with correlation coefficients of 0.9995 and 0.9998, respectively, in the concentration range from 1.5 to 200?ng?mL^?1. The relative standard deviations are 2.3% and 4.1% (for n?=?5), the limits of detection are 0.58 and 0.86?ng?mL^?1, and relative recoveries in tap, lake and river water samples range between 100.1 and 108.1%, 99.4 and 106.2%, and 97.1 and 103.8%, respectively.

Dynamics analysis of a delayed viral infection model with immune impairment

In this paper, the dynamical behavior of a delayed viral infection model with immune impairment is studied. It is shown that if the basic reproductive number of the virus is less than one, then the uninfected equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable for both ODE and DDE model. And the effect of time delay on stabilities of the equilibria of the DDE model has been studied. By theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show that the immune impairment rate has no effect on the stability of the ODE model, while it has a dramatic effect on the infected equilibrium of the DDE model.     

Paper-based piezoresistive MEMS sensors

This paper describes the development of MEMS force sensors constructed using paper as the structural material. The working principle on which these paper-based sensors are based is the piezoresistive effect generated by conductive materials patterned on a paper substrate. The device is inexpensive (～$0.04 per device for materials), simple to fabricate, lightweight, and disposable. Paper can be readily folded into three-dimensional structures to increase the stiffness of the sensor while keeping it light in weight. The entire fabrication process can be completed within one hour without expensive cleanroom facilities using simple tools (e.g., a paper cutter and a painting knife). We demonstrated that the paper-based sensor can measure forces with moderate performance (i.e., resolution: 120 μN, measurement range: ±16 mN, and sensitivity: 0.84 mV mN(-1)). We applied this sensor to characterizing the mechanical properties of a soft material. Leveraging the same sensing concept, we also developed a paper-based balance with a measurement range of 15 g, and a resolution of 0.39 g.     

Global stability of a virus dynamics model with Beddington–DeAngelis incidence rate and CTL immune response

In this paper, the global stability of virus dynamics model with Beddington–DeAngelis infection rate and CTL immune response is studied by constructing Lyapunov functions. We derive the basic reproduction number R ₀ and the immune response reproduction number R ⁰ for the virus infection model, and establish that the global dynamics are completely determined by the values of R ₀. We obtain the global stabilities of the disease-free equilibrium E ₀, immune-free equilibrium E ₁ and endemic equilibrium E ^∗ when R ₀≤1, R ₀>1, R ⁰>1, respectively.

Coverage-dependent kinetics and thermodynamics of carbon monoxide adsorption on a ternary copper catalyst derived from static adsorption microcalorimetry

A reliable method for adsorption systems in equilibrium is established to derive coverage-dependent kinetics and thermodynamics from the volumetric data obtained during the static microcalorimetric measurement of heats of adsorption. The Wigner-Polanyi equation is applied to analyze the pressure change as a function of time during stepwise dosing of the adsorptive until thermodynamic adsorption-desorption equilibrium is established. For carbon monoxide adsorption on a hydrogen-reduced Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst, the adsorption rate constant (ka) is found to be in the range from 10(-6) to 10(-4) Pa(-1) s(-1), and the desorption rate constant (kd) from 10(-4) to 10(-2) s(-1), both increasing with fractional coverage theta. The kinetically derived equilibrium constant Ktheta is in good agreement with Ktheta obtained from the adsorption isotherm. RT ln(Kp0) and the differential heat of adsorption (qdiff) were found to decrease in parallel, reflecting a normal Temkin-type heterogeneity.     

Observation of a red-blue detuning asymmetry in matter-wave superradiance

We report the first experimental observation of strong suppression of matter-wave superradiance using blue-detuned pump light and demonstrate a pump-laser detuning asymmetry in the collective atomic recoil motion. In contrast to all previous theoretical frameworks, which predict that the process should be symmetric with respect to the sign of the detuning of the pump laser from the one-photon resonance, we find that for condensates the symmetry is broken. With high condensate densities and red-detuned pump light the distinctive multiorder, matter-wave scattering pattern is clearly visible, whereas with blue-detuned pump light superradiance is strongly suppressed. However, in the limit of a dilute atomic gas symmetry is restored.
