Annual variation of temperature and mass balance of first-year and second-year land-fast sea ice in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica by Dinglong Zhao, Bin Cheng, Matti Leppäranta, Jingkai Ma, Xuejing Chen, Jiechen Zhao

“…The evolution of the temperature and mass balance of first-year (FYI: Site S1) and second-year (SYI: Site S2) land-fast sea ice (LFSI) in May–November were investigated using high-resolution thermistor-string-based ice mass balance buoys, borehole measurements and a numerical sea ice model. In May, the growth rate of a 0.55 m FYI ice floe (9.2 mm day−1) was twice that of 1.08 m SYI (4.7 mm day−1) in snow-free conditions. …”

Kinetics of silicon extraction into alloy from a mixture of amorphous rocks by V.M. Shevko, N.M. Mirkayev, A.D. Badikova

“…It was established that when the melting the amorphous rocks, with an increase in the degree of silicon extraction into the alloy, the apparent activation energy decreases, that is a manifestation of diffusion processes, obviously associated with the formation of a silicon carbide layer on the coke surface. The rate of silicon extraction into the alloy when the melting the amorphous rocks is higher than when the melting quartzite. …”

Breaking barriers: targeted delivery of resveratrol in lung cancer using folate-integrated and pH-responsive hybrid nanocarriers by Sanjoy Das, Malay K. Das, Taison Jamatia, Nayan Ranjan Ghose Bishwas, Dhritiman Roy, Emdormi Rymbai

“…Finally, in vivo targeting and anticancer studies demonstrated that FOL-RSV-LPHNCs selectively internalized to the cancerous region and suppressed the tumor volume with an 8.66-fold higher rate in the xenograft mouse model. The folate receptor-mediated uptake mainly facilitates this superior therapeutic response which was further confirmed by in silico molecular docking and dynamic simulation. …”

Physiological insights into the responses of tea plants to aluminum through an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis by Xinwan Zhang, Shijie Luo, Xiali Ye, Lin Liu, Xinxin Jia, Deyuan Jiang, Weiwei Wen

“…Compared to 0 mM Al treatment, low Al concentrations (0.4 mM) enhanced root vitality by 8.91%, while higher Al concentrations (10 and 100 mM) reduced root vigor by 19.31% and 76.81%, respectively. In a similar pattern, the electron transfer rate in leaves remained stable under low Al levels but significantly decreased under high Al conditions. …”

The influence of the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid on the mangiferin release kinetics from the polymer matrix by P. P. Snetkov, R. O. Shaikenov, V. I. Klimshina, Yu. E. Generalova, S. N. Morozkina

“…Mangiferin release kinetic from a polymer matrix based on hyaluronic acid has a release sigmoidal pattern. The release mechanism has a complex nature of the Super Case II transport type, with the exception of a sample with a low content of mangiferin and hyaluronic acid with molecular weight equal to 1.3 MDa, for which an abnormal release pattern is detected (non-Fickian diffusion), due to the hydrophilic nature of hyaluronic acid, the rapid swelling of the polymer matrix, as well as a significant leading in the diffusion of mangiferin compared to the relaxation rate of the polymer. …”
