Complete electromagnetic consideration of plasmon mode excitation in graphene rectangles by incident terahertz wave
Authors: Mashinsky Konstantin V. , Popov Vyacheslav V. , Fateev Denis V. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The excitation of terahertz plasmon modes in a graphene rectangle by normally incident linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has been theoretically studied. The complete electromagnetic approach based on formulation of the integral equations for sought-for electromagnetic quantities has been developed. The influence of edge-field effects on excitation of plasmon modes for different polarization of the incident wave and different shapes of graphene rectangle has been studied. The absorption cross-section spectra and the charge density distributions in graphene rectangle for different plasmon modes have been studied. It has been found that the edge-field effect, which results in spreading the plasmon field beyond the geometric boundaries of graphene rectangle, leads to considerable red shifts of the plasmon mode frequencies and modifies the plasmon mode dispersion.
On oscillatory and spectral properties of a class of higher-order differential operators
Authors: Kalybay Aigerim , Oinarov Ryskul 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the paper, we study the oscillatory properties of a 2nth order differential equation and spectral properties of a 2nth order differential operator. These properties are established by the variational method based on the validity of some nth order differential inequality, where its weights are the coefficients of the equation and the operator. In turn, the inequality is characterized when the weights satisfy certain conditions that guarantee for the function in this inequality the existence of boundary values at infinity and at zero.

Authors: Ali Ahmed Refaie , Rafique Khuram , Ahmad Shahzad , Alotaibi Hammad 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This analysis focuses on the flow of Casson-type micropolar nanofluid induced by a stretchable vertical surface. Energy and mass transport are investigated in this study. Furthermore, the impacts of double stratification (thermal and solutal) are considered. In addition, the transport equations incorporate Brownian motion and thermophoretic effects. The non-linear governing flow equations, along with associated boundary conditions, are transformed into dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity variables. These ODEs are solved numerically using the Keller box scheme. This investigation aims to examine the influences of Casson parameter effects on the micro-rotations of nanofluid flow. A comparative study is conducted with available outcomes. The velocity of the liquid exhibits an inverse relationship with the Casson and magnetic factors. Moreover, the temperature and concentration distribution of the considered fluid show a decreasing trend with changes in thermal and solutal stratification. Meanwhile, the mixed convection factor exhibits a direct correlation with the liquid velocity.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The treatment and disposal of activated sludge are currently challenging tasks in the world. As a common biological engineering technology, biological fermentation exists with disadvantages such as low efficiency and complex process. Ozone pretreatments are commonly applied to improve this problem due to their high efficiency and low cost. In this study, the significant function of ozone in anaerobic fermentation gas production was verified with excess sludge. Compared with other untreated sludge, ozone pretreatment can effectively degrade activated sludge. After ozone treatment and mixing with primary sludge, the methane production of excess sludge increased by 49.30 and 50.78%, and the methanogenic activity increased by 69.99 and 73.83%, respectively. The results indicated that the mixing of primary sludge with excess sludge possessed synergistic effects, which contributed to the anaerobic fermentation of excess sludge. The results of microbial community structure exhibited that methanogenic processes mainly involve hydrogenogens, acidogens and methanogens. The relative abundance of both bacteria and microorganisms changed significantly in the early stage of hydraulic retention time, which coincided exactly with the gas production stage. This study provided a feasible pretreatment strategy to improve sludge biodegradability and revealed the role of microorganisms during anaerobic digestion.
Advances in Understanding the Notch Signaling Pathway in the Cochlea
Authors: Chen Xiaoying , Wan Huanzhi , Bai Yutong , Zhang Yuanyuan , Hua Qingquan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract:
The cochlear structure is highly complex and specific, and its development is regulated by multiple
signaling pathways. Abnormalities in cochlear development can lead to different degrees of loss of function.
Hair cells (HCs), which are difficult to regenerate in the mature mammalian cochlea, are susceptible to damage
from noise and ototoxic drugs, and damage to HCs can cause hearing loss to varying degrees. Notch, a
classical developmental signaling molecule, has been shown to be closely associated with embryonic cochlear
development and plays an important role in HC regeneration in mammals, suggesting that the Notch signaling
pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for cochlear development and hearing impairment due to HC damage.
In recent years, the important role of the Notch signaling pathway in the cochlea has received increasing
attention. In this paper, we review the role of Notch signaling in cochlear development and HC regeneration,
with the aim of providing new research ideas for the prevention and treatment of related diseases.

Published: November 2023

Background:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly widespread malignancy and ranks as the second
most common cause of cancer-related mortality.

Objective:
Cancer patients, including those with CRC, who undergo chemotherapy, are often treated with platinum-
based anticancer drugs such as oxaliplatin (OXA). Nevertheless, the administration of OXA is associated
with a range of gastrointestinal problems, neuropathy, and respiratory tract infections. Hence, it is necessary
to devise a potential strategy that can effectively tackle these aforementioned challenges. The use of nanocarriers
has shown great potential in cancer treatment due to their ability to minimize side effects, target drugs
directly to cancer cells, and improve drug efficacy. Furthermore, numerous studies have been published regarding
the therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles in the management of colorectal cancer.

Methods:
In this review, we present the most relevant nanostructures used for OXA encapsulation in recent
years, such as solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, polysaccharides, proteins, silica nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles,
and synthetic polymer-carriers. Additionally, the paper provides a summary of the disadvantages and
limits associated with nanoparticles.

Results:
The use of different carriers for the delivery of oxaliplatin increased the efficiency and reduced the
side effects of the drug. It has been observed that the majority of research investigations have focused on liposomes
and polysaccharides.

Conclusion:
This potentially auspicious method has the potential to enhance results and enhance the quality of
life for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, additional investigation is required to ascertain
the most suitable medium for the transportation of oxaliplatin and to assess its efficacy through clinical trials.

Published: November 2023

Abstract:
The exploration of nanocrystal technology is currently receiving significant attention in
various fields, including therapeutic formulation, clinical formulation, in-vivo and in-vitro correlation
research, and related investigations. The domain of nanocrystals in pharmaceutical delivery has received
significant interest as a potential solution for the difficulties associated with medications that
have low solubility. The nanocrystals demonstrate promise in improving solubility and bioavailability,
presenting a potential resolution to significant challenges. Significantly, nanocrystals have exhibited
efficacy in the context of oral administration, showcasing prompt absorption due to their quick
breakdown, hence fitting with the requirements of medications that necessitate fast commencement
of action. In addition, the adaptability of drug nanocrystals encompasses several methods of administration,
including oral, parenteral, ophthalmic, cutaneous, pulmonary, and targeted delivery modalities.
The observed consistency can be ascribed to the increased solubility of nanocrystals of the medicine,
which effectively counteracts the influence of food on the absorption of the drug. Surface modification
tactics have a significant influence on insoluble medicines by enhancing hydrophilicity and
reducing plasma protein adsorption on the crystal surface. The surface properties of nanocrystals are
modified through the utilization of specific surfactants and polymers, which are subsequently incorporated
into polymer solutions via high-pressure homogenization procedures. This article encompasses
an examination of the drug distribution mechanism, the nanocrystal formulation technology,
the therapeutic applications, the potential future developments, and the challenges associated with the
solubility and bioavailability of tailored nanocrystals, as discussed in this article. Consequently, it
possesses the capacity to provide guidance for future investigations pertaining to nanocrystal technology.

Towards a data-effective calibration of a fully distributed catchment water quality model
Authors: Ghaffar Salman , Zhou Xiangqian , Jomaa Seifeddine , Yang Xiaoqiang , Meon Günter , Rode Michael 
Published: November 2023

Distributed hydrological water quality models are increasingly being
used to manage natural resources at the catchment scale but there are no
calibration guidelines for selecting the most useful gauging stations.
In this study, we investigated the influence of calibration schemes on
the spatiotemporal performance of a fully distributed process-based
hydrological water quality model (mHM-Nitrate) for discharge and nitrate
simulations at Bode catchment in central Germany. We used a single- and
two multi-site calibration schemes where the two multi-site schemes
varied in number of gauging stations but each subcatchment represented
different dominant land uses of the catchment. To extract a set of
behavioral parameters for each calibration scheme, we chose a sequential
multi-criteria method with 300.000 iterations.
For discharge (Q), model performance was similar among the three schemes
(NSE varied from 0.88 to 0.92). However, for nitrate concentration, the
multi-site schemes performed better than the single site scheme. This
improvement may be attributed to that multi-site schemes incorporated a
broader range of data, including low Q and NO3- values, thus provided a
better representation of within-catchment diversity. Conversely, adding
more gauging stations in the multi-site approaches did not lead to
further improvements in catchment representation but showed wider 95%
uncertainty boundaries. Thus, adding observations that contained similar
information on catchment characteristics did not seem to improve model
performance and increased uncertainty. These results highlight the
importance of strategically selecting gauging stations that reflect the
full range of catchment heterogeneity rather than seeking to maximize
station number, to optimize parameter calibration.
