We used the Vienna ab initio Simulation Package (VASP), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and diffuse reflectance (DRS) to optimize anode material for a photoelectric catalytic system. After screening how the doping of TiO₂ by N and S affects it...

This study explored the adsorption of acetaminophen and caffeine using CO₂-activated biochar (BT-CO₂) and hydrochar (HT-CO₂) derived from Tingui shell biomass. The experimental data from kinetic and equilibrium adsorption tests were employed in batch...

The subject of this study was to compare the enantioseparation of fourteen racemic esters that are liquid crystals. This study aimed to determine the difference in the enantioseparation of mixtures with protonated and fluorinated aliphatic chains and...

Futibatinib is an excellent fibroblast growth factor receptor 1–4 (FGFR 1–4) inhibitor that exhibits selective anti-tumor activeness against FGFR-deregulated tumors. A new high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (H...

The exploitation and transportation of deep-sea and remote oil and gas fields have risen to become important components of national energy strategies. The gas–liquid separation and gas blocking caused by the large density difference between the...

Dendrobium stem is a valuable food with medicinal and edible properties. Due to its high medicinal value and price, closely related Dendrobium varieties are often sold as imitations on the market. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new met...

Bacterial co-infected pneumonia is an acute inflammatory reaction of the lungs mainly caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Antibiotics are urgently important but have the disadvantage of antibacterial resistance, and alternative treatments with medicina...

This study focused on developing an innovative, straightforward, and economical method utilizing a mixture of readily available solvents to extract arborescin (C₂OH₂OO₈) crystals from Artemisia absinthium L. (A. absinthium). The structural elucidatio...

The chemical composition of Sedum ewersii Ledeb., a plant indigenous to Kazakhstan and traditionally utilized in folk medicine, was comprehensively investigated, with a focus on its various plant parts. Fresh samples collected in May 2023 from the Al...

In this study, a high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)-based method was developed for the quantification of five water-soluble vitamins, B₂, B₃, B₆, B₁₂, and C, using ethanol–water (70:30, v/v) as the mobile phase. The method was v...

Cinnamomi ramulus (CR, Guizhi in Chinese) and Zingiberis rhizoma recens (ZRR, Shengjiang in Chinese) are couplet medicines (drug pairs or drug combinations) in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. They contain a high amount of volatile oils wh...

Phytoestrogens, natural compounds with structural similarity to 17-β-estradiol, are known to have potential health benefits, including in hormone-dependent malignancies. The therapeutic interest and some safety concerns observed triggered the ne...

Ferulic acid is a widespread phenolic compound that occurs in seeds and leaves, both in its free form and conjugated to polysaccharides, carbohydrates, glycoproteins and lignins in the plant cell walls. It exhibits various biological activities, like...

Over the years, monitoring the quality of the environment, food, and human health has emerged as a fundamental objective of scientific investigation. Various analytical techniques have been devised and continually refined to ensure a high standard of...

In the continuous scaling-up process of the separating system, a mechanism exists that transforms the behavior of the flow field, resulting in deviations from the original model and conclusions. The paper examined the effects of the scale up of a flu...

Sandalwood essential oil, known for its rich content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, holds great promise for applications in perfumery and medicine. However, traditional production methods have raised concerns regarding their environmental impac...
