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

“…The 50 % extraction of silicon into the alloy from the amorphous rocks is characterized by the apparent activation energy Eapp equal to 366.5 kJ, and for quartzite, this energy is higher and is 386 kJ. The similar pattern is observed for the period of inception of the process of silicon extraction into the alloy: Eapp for the amorphous rocks is 422 kJ, and 461 kJ for 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

“…The amount of RSV released from FOL-RSV-LPHNCs was 96.53 ± 2.16% at pH 5.8 and 23.21 ± 2.01% at pH 7.4, indicative of a pH-responsive release pattern and good physiological stability. In vitro cytotoxicity study revealed that FOL-RSV-LPHNCs remarkably inhibited the viability of A549 cells and produced negligible toxic effect on Wi-38 healthy cells. …”

Evaluation and optimization simulation of land suitability for village construction in the urban rural integration zone empirical test based on 49 administrative villages in Chuzho... by Shuping Fan, Yuntao Zhu, Huimin Guo, Qi Wang, Yishi Mi, Xin Gao, Yangbing Liu, Zihao Su

“…The results show that: (1) the village collective income and land use intensity have a great impact on the potential of village construction land, the proportion of permanent basic farmland, the distance from the organized town and the population loss rate have a great impact on the binding force of village construction land; (2) The proportion of suitable, unsuitable and suitable areas of village construction land is 38.63%, 27.56% and 15.60% respectively, the overall distribution pattern of suitability is “high in the east and southwest, South-Northeast Low”; (3) The eastern high-suitable area adopts the rural urbanization mode and optimizes the layout in a “group” style, The central low suitable area adopts the mode of “teng village and land reduction” and continuously improves the level of intensive land use, In the southwest, it is suitable for villages to form a “central village” layout mode based on location and economic development. …”
