Abstract
Flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents commonly encounter limitations in removing trace impurities below gate-opening threshold pressures. Topology reconfiguration can fundamentally eliminate intrinsic structural flexibility, yet remains a formidable challenge and is rarely achieved in practical applications. Herein, we present a solvent-mediated approach to regulate the flexible CuSnF6-dpds-sql (dpds = 4,4''-dipyridyldisulfide) with sql topology into rigid CuSnF6-dpds-cds with cds topology. Notably, the cds topology is unprecedented and firstly obtained in anion-pillared MOF materials. As a result, rigid CuSnF6-dpds-cds exhibits enhanced C2H2 adsorption capacity of 48.61 cm3 g-1 at 0.01 bar compared to flexible CuSnF6-dpds-sql (21.06 cm3 g-1). The topology transformation also facilitates the adsorption kinetics for C2H2, exhibiting a 6.5-fold enhanced diffusion time constant (D/r2) of 1.71 × 10-3 s-1 on CuSnF6-dpds-cds than that of CuSnF6-dpds-sql (2.64 × 10-4 s-1). Multiple computational simulations reveal the structural transformations and guest-host interactions in both adsorbents. Furthermore, dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrate that high-purity C2H4 (>99.996%) effluent with a productivity of 93.9 mmol g-1 can be directly collected from C2H2/C2H4 (1/99, v/v) gas-mixture in a single CuSnF6-dpds-cds column.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO)-based membranes hold significant promise for applications ranging from energy storage to protective coatings, to saline water and produced water treatment, owing to their chemical stability and unique barrier properties achieving a high selectivity for water permeation. However, unmodified GO membranes are not stable when submerged in liquid water, creating challenges with their commercial utilization in aqueous filtration and pervaporation applications. To mitigate this, we develop an approach to modify GO membranes through a combination of low temperature thermal reduction and metal cation crosslinking. We demonstrate that Zn2+-rGO and Fe3+-rGO membranes had the highest permeation flux of 8.3 ± 1.5 l m-2h-1and 7.0 ± 0.4 l m-2h-1, for saline water separation, respectively, when thermally reduced after metal cross-linking; These membranes maintained a high flux of 7.5 ± 0.7 l m-2h-1, and 5.5 ± 0.3 l m-2h-1for produced water separation, respectively. All the membranes had a salt rejection higher than 99%. Fe3+crosslinked membranes presented the highest organic solute rejections for produced water of 69%. Moreover, long term pervaporation testing was done for the Zn2+-rGO membrane for 12 h, and only a minor drop of 6% in permeation flux was observed, while Zn2+-GO had a drop of 24%. Both modifiers significantly enhanced the stability with Fe3+-rGO membranes displaying the highest mechanical abrasion resistance of 95% compared to non-reduced and non-crosslinked GO. Improved stability for all samples also led to higher selectivity to water over organic contaminants and only slightly reduced water flux across the membrane.

Abstract
As a unique subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MOFs with open metal site (OMS) are demonstrated efficient gas separation performance through pi complexation with unsaturated hydrocarbons. However, their practical application faces the challenge of humidity that causes structure degradation and completive binding at the OMS. In this work, the effect of linker methylation of a copper MOF (BUT-155) on the C2H2/CO2 separation performance under humid condition is evaluated. The water adsorption isotherm, adsorption kinetics, and breakthrough under dry and humid conditions are performed. The BUT-155 with methylated linker exhibits lower water uptake and adsorption kinetics under humid condition (RH = 20%), in comparison with HKUST-1. Therefore, the C2H2/CO2 separation performance of BUT-155 is much less affected by water, especially under higher gas flow rate. Moreover, the dynamic C2H2/CO2 separation performance of BUT-155 can maintain five breakthrough cycles under humid conditions (RH = 20% and RH = 80%) without obvious performance degradation.

Abstract
Recovering cobalt from waste batteries is crucial for resource recycling and environmental protection. Here, MOF-OH, a Zr-based MOF, was synthesized and merged into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) matrix to create MOF-OH-PAN nanofibers (NFs). These NFs showed a high cobalt ion adsorption capacity of 33.1 mg/g, retaining over 90% of the capacity after six cycles. The adsorption mechanism involves Co(II) surface diffusion followed by strong bonding with functional groups. This technology enables efficient cobalt recovery from waste batteries, supporting reuse and reducing resource depletion and environmental pollution. The study provides insights into waste battery resource management, highlighting environmental and economic benefits and contributing to green resource recovery and circular economy initiatives.

Abstract
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that originate from various cells and mediate intercellular communication, altering the behavior or fate of recipient cells. They carry diverse macromolecules, such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Environmental stressors can change the exosomal contents of many cells, making them useful for diagnosing many chronic disorders, especially neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, cancerous, and diabetic diseases. Moreover, exosomes can be engineered as therapeutic agents to modulate disease processes. State-of-art techniques are employed to separate exosomes including ultracentrifugation, size-exclusion chromatography and immunoaffinity. However, modern technologies such as aqueous two-phase system as well as microfluidics are gaining attention in the recent years. The article highlighted the composition, biogenesis, and implications of exosomes, as well as the standard and novel methods for isolating them and applying them as biomarkers and therapeutic cargo carriers.

Abstract
Lack of safe water availability and access to clean water cause a higher risk of infectious diseases and other diseases as well. Heavy metals (HMs) are inorganic pollutants that cause severe threats to humans, animals, and the environment. Therefore, an effective HM removal technology is urgently needed. In the present study, a customized bipolar membrane electrodialysis process was used to remove HMs from aqueous solutions. The impacts of the feed ionic strength, applied electrical potential, and the type and concentration of HMs (Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, and Ni2+) on the process performance were investigated. The results showed that feed solution pH changes occurred in four stages: it first decreased linearly before stabilizing in the acidic pH range, followed by an increase and stabilization in the basic range of the pH scale. HM speciation in the basic pH range revealed the presence of anionic HM species. The presence of HMs on anion exchange membranes confirmed the contribution of these membranes for HM removal in the base channels of the process. While no clear trend was seen in the ionic strength solution, the maximum HM removal was observed when 1.5 g/L NaCl was used. The initial HM concentration showed a linear increase in HMs removal of up to 30 mg/L. A similar trend was seen with an increase in the applied electrical potential of up to 15 V. In general, the amount of HMs removed increased in the following order: Cd2+ ˃ Ni2+ ˃ Co2+ ˃ Cu2+ ˃ Cr3+. Under some operational conditions, however, the removed amount of Cu2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ was similar. The mass balance and SEM-EDX results revealed that the removed HMs were sorbed onto the membranes. In conclusion, this process efficiently separates HMs from aqueous solutions. It showed the features of diluate pH adjustment, reduction in the overall stack electrical resistance, and contribution of anion exchange membranes in multivalent cation removal. The mechanisms involved in HMs removal were diffusion and migration from the bulk solution, followed by their sorption on both cation and anion exchange membranes.

Abstract
Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) adsorbents generally have excellent affinity for histidine-rich proteins. However, the leaching of metal ions from the adsorbent usually affects its adsorption performance, which greatly affects the reusable performance of the adsorbent, resulting in many limitations in practical applications. Herein, a novel IMAC adsorbent, i.e., Cu(II)-loaded polydopamine-coated urchin-like titanate microspheres (Cu-PDA-UTMS), was prepared via metal coordination to make Cu ions uniformly decorate polydopamine-coated titanate microspheres. The as-synthesized microspheres exhibit an urchin-like structure, providing more binding sites for hemoglobin. Cu-PDA-UTMS exhibit favorable selectivity for hemoglobin adsorption and have a desirable adsorption capacity towards hemoglobin up to 2704.6 mg g-1. Using 0.1% CTAB as eluent, the adsorbed hemoglobin was easily eluted with a recovery rate of 86.8%. In addition, Cu-PDA-UTMS shows good reusability up to six cycles. In the end, the adsorption properties by Cu-PDA-UTMS towards hemoglobin from human blood samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The results showed that Cu-PDA-UTMS are a high-performance IMAC adsorbent for hemoglobin separation, which provides a new method for the effective separation and purification of hemoglobin from complex biological samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peanut peptides have good chelating ability with metal ions. However, there are few studies on the chelation mechanism of peanut peptides with calcium and absorption properties of peptide-calcium complex. RESULTS Peptides with high calcium chelating rate were isolated and purified from peanut protein hydrolysate (PPH), and the chelation rate of component F21 was higher (81.4 ± 0.8%). Six peptides were identified from component F21 by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the frequency of acidic amino acids and arginine in the amino acid sequence was higher in all six peptides. Peanut peptide-calcium complex (PPH21-Ca) was prepared by selecting component F21 (PPH21). Ultraviolet analysis indicated that the chelate reaction occurred between peanut peptide and calcium ions. Fourier transform infrared analysis showed that the chelating sites were carboxyl and amino groups on the amino acid residues of peptides. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the surface of peanut peptide had a smooth block structure, but the surface of the complex had a granular morphology. Caco-2 cell model tests revealed that the bioavailability of PPH21-Ca was 58.4 ± 0.5%, which was significantly higher than that of inorganic calcium at 37.0 ± 0.4%. CONCLUSION Peanut peptides can chelate calcium ions by carboxyl and amino groups, and the peptide-calcium complex had higher bioavailability. This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of new calcium supplement products that are absorbed easily. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In recent years, discovering new drug candidates has become a top priority in research. Natural products have proven to be a promising source for such discoveries as many researchers have successfully isolated bioactive compounds with various activities that show potential as drug candidates. Among these compounds, phenolic compounds have been frequently isolated due to their many biological activities, including their role as antioxidants, making them candidates for treating diseases related to oxidative stress. The isolation method is essential, and researchers have sought to find effective procedures that maximize the purity and yield of bioactive compounds. This review aims to provide information on the isolation or separation methods for phenolic compounds with antioxidant activities using column chromatography, medium-pressure liquid chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, counter-current chromatography, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, molecularly imprinted technologies, and high-performance thin layer chromatography. For isolation or purification, the molecularly imprinted technologies represent a more accessible and more efficient procedure because they can be applied directly to the extract to reduce the complicated isolation process. However, it still requires further development and refinement.

Abstract
A double-lumen tube or bronchial blocker positioning using flexible bronchoscopy for lung isolation and one-lung ventilation requires specific technical competencies. Training to acquire and retain such skills remains a challenge in thoracic anesthesia. Recent technological and innovative developments in the field of simulation have opened up exciting new horizons and possibilities. In this narrative review, we examine the latest development of existing training modalities while investigating, in particular, the use of emergent techniques such as virtual reality bronchoscopy simulation, virtual airway endoscopy, or the preoperative 3D printing of airways. The goal of this article is, therefore, to summarize the role of existing and future applications of training models/simulators and virtual reality simulators for training flexible bronchoscopy and lung isolation for thoracic anesthesia.

Abstract
The weaning and separation phase remains one of the biggest challenges for cow-calf-contact systems, but a gradual process that better mimics the naturally occurring reduction in milk intake has not yet been scientifically investigated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to compare behavioral and physiological indicators of distress in 3 mo-old dam-reared dairy calves (with previous full-time cow-calf contact) weaned and separated either via gradual reduction of contact time with the dam (GR, 1 week half day contact, 1 week morning contact, 1 week fence-line contact before complete separation, n = 18) or via 2-step weaning using a nose flap (NF, 2 weeks access to dam with a nose flap, 1 week fence-line contact before complete separation, n = 18). Behavior was recorded 1 week before (or for lying 3 weeks before) weaning start and during the 3 week weaning and separation period with direct observations on 4 d per week or via accelerometers (locomotor play, lying behavior). Blood and fecal samples were taken twice per week from weaning start until 3 weeks after weaning start. Calves were weighed weekly. Statistical analysis was conducted using (generalized) linear mixed models. Over the whole weaning and separation phase, NF calves showed a stronger decrease in the number of lying bouts, amount of locomotor play and average daily weight gains, as well as a higher increase in total mixed ration feeding time compared with GR calves, whereas GR calves vocalized more often and showed more searching behavior than NF calves. Also, the neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio of NF calves was elevated on d 3 after insertion of the nose flaps compared with baseline, but showed no change for GR calves on any sampling day. Overall, results point toward a favorable effect of a gradual weaning strategy on reduction of weaning and separation distress in dam-reared dairy calves, but the method requires further improvement from the protocol used in our study.

Abstract
Transformation of metal-organic framework (MOF) particles into thin films is urgently needed for the persistent development of well-applicable devices, and recently emerging functional-integrated hybrid frameworks. Although some flexible polymers and exclusive modification approaches have been proposed, the additive-free and widely applicable strategy has not been reported, hampering the deep investigation of the structure-performance relationship. A universal strategy for the in situ growth of large-area and continuous MOF films with controllable microstructures is introduced, through the modification of multi-scale and multi-structure substrates with poly(4-vinylpyridine) as the anchor to capture metal ions via Coulomb attraction. Based on the clarified structure-adsorption-separation mechanisms, the customized devices fabricated by in situ growth can achieve highly selective adsorption and excellently synergetic separation of various industrially relevant isomers. In addition, this strategy is also feasible for the construction of MOF-on-MOFs with varied lattice parameters. This strategy is easy to implement and will be widely applicable to the surface growth of diverse MOFs on desired substrates, and provides a new concept for developing hybrid MOFs integrating with customized functionalities.

Abstract
Macroporous resin column chromatography, MCI medium pressure column chromatography, and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography were employed to isolate the chemical components from the aqueous extract of the whole herb of Scindapsus officinalis. The structures of the compounds were identified based on the physical and chemical properties and the spectroscopic data. Ten compounds were isolated from the aqueous extract and identified as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyl-8-O-[β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranoside(1), alternamide B(2), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(3), 1-(4-hydroxy)-phenylethyl-β-D-galactopyranoside(4), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyl-8-O-[β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), hydroxytyrosol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(6), 3,5-dihydroxyphenylethyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(7), salidroside(8), dihydroisoquinolone(9), and 4-methoxybenzenepropanol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(10). Among them, compound 1 was a new one, and compounds 2-10 were obtained from S. officinalis for the first time. The RAW264.7 cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide for the mode-ling of inflammation, and the cells were then used to examine anti-inflammatory activities of the compounds. The results showed that compounds 6 and 7 had strong anti-inflammatory activities, while compounds 1, 2, and 5 had moderate anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
The study aimed to purify and characterize antioxidant peptides from chicken blood hemoglobin hydrolysate. The fraction M2 (< 3 KDa) with the strongest antioxidant activity was isolated by ultrafiltration, and its DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical) free radical scavenging rate, ABTS [2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)] free radical scavenging rate, and iron ion chelation activity were 82.91%, 77.49%, and 80.99%, respectively. After in vitro digestion, the antioxidant capacity of chicken blood hydrolysate was significantly higher than that before digestion (p < 0.05). M2 exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity after stomach digestion, with a DPPH radical scavenging rate and iron ion chelating power of 82.91% and 79.61%, respectively. Component A was purified from M2 by Sephadex G-25 gel chromatography. The peptide sequences were identified by LC-MS/MS from fraction A, and four peptides, AEDKKLIQ (944.54 Da), APAPAAK (625.36 Da), LSDLHAHKL (1033.57 Da), and LSNLHAYNL (1044.54 Da) were synthesized using the solid-phase peptide method, among which APAPAAK was a novel antioxidant peptide. Molecular docking was used to simulate the binding of these four peptides to the key active site of Keap1 via hydrogen bonding. This study suggests that chicken blood may provide a new natural source of antioxidant peptides.

Abstract
Duck adenovirus type-3 (DAdV-3) is a poorly characterized duck virus. A comprehensive analysis of the DAdV-3 pathogenicity and host immune response could be a valuable addition. Herein, DAdV-3 was isolated from Muscovy duck and virus-specific genes were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The obtained gene fragments were sequenced and compared with the reference sequence. Results confirmed that the clinically isolated virus was DAdV-3, named as HF-AN-2020. To evaluate DAdV-3 host immune response, the expression levels of MDA5, STING, IRF7, MAVS, and NF-κB, and inflammatory cytokines (IFN-β, IFN-γ, and IL-1β) were determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression levels of IFN-β and IFN-γ were 32.6- and 28.6-fold, respectively, higher (P < 0.01) than the control group. It was found that the upregulation of STING and NF-κB pathways was directly involved in the regulation of inflammatory cytokines (IFN-β, IFN-γ, and IL-1β). Furthermore, the gene regulation pathways consecutively upregulated the expression levels of MDA5, STING, IRF7, MAVS, and NF-κB up to 31.6, 10.5, 31.4, 2.2, and 2.6-fold, respectively, higher (P < 0.01) than the control group. The TCID50 of DAdV-3 for Muscovy duck and chicken was 10-3.24/0.1 mL with 0% mortality, indicating low pathogenicity in both Muscovy ducks and chickens, but DAdV-3 can induce higher expression of interferons. Genome analysis showed mutations in 4 amino acids located in ORF19B (Ser to Thr), ORF66 (Leu to Phe, Ile to Leu), and ORF67 (Gly to stop codon). This study provides essential and basic information for further research on the mechanism of the cellular immune responses against adenoviruses.

Abstract
Effective separation of cathode materials from the current collector is a critical step in recycling a spent lithium-ion battery (LIB). This typically necessitates the decomposition or dissolution of the organic binder, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), to achieve efficient recovery of cathode materials. However, this process requires a high decomposition temperature, typically between 400 and 600 °C, and can lead to side reactions, such as current collector oxidation/brittleness, decomposition of cathode materials, and formation of metal fluorides. In this study, we propose that non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatment can be used to achieve an extremely high separation of cathode materials and aluminum current collector at near room temperature. Instead of relying on PVDF decomposition, which requires high temperatures, PVDF can be deactivated by partially breaking down long molecular chains with appropriate NTP conditions. With a total treatment time of around 2000 s and an environmental temperature of approximately 80 °C, minor side reactions can be avoided. The separation rate can reach up to 95.69%, and high-quality cathode materials can be obtained with only 0.02 wt % aluminum impurity content. This research could potentially offer a new approach toward minimizing recycling steps and reducing energy consumption in the recycling of spent LIBs. It could also be extended to the recovery of a broader range of electronic wastes.

Abstract
The development of a Janus membrane with contrasting chemical functionality/or wettability on opposite faces has shown great promise as a passive and energy-efficient oil/water separation technology. Notably, one side of the membrane is designed hydrophilic (i.e., water-attracting in air and underwater oleophobic) and the other hydrophobic (i.e., water-repelling in air and underwater oleophilic). The distinctive surface wettability features of the membrane allow it to repel water and attract oil without consuming energy, thus making it an attractive technology for passively separating oil/water mixtures. The hydrophobic face of the membrane captures oil droplets while allowing water to pass through, and the hydrophilic side attracts water droplets and allows oil to pass. Nonetheless, crafting a Janus membrane is complex, tedious, and expensive. To overcome these limitations, an easy and inexpensive two-step fabrication process for the Janus membrane is proposed in this work. The first step involves creating a superhydrophilic face by the hydrothermally guided deposition of nanoneedles on either side of a commercially available hydrophobic carbon sheet. In the second step, the double-faced surface is subjected to a pulsed laser to create conical micropores studied for oil/water separation. The fabricated membrane is economically affordable and environment friendly. Besides being energy-efficient (as the separation process works passively), the membrane demonstrates an efficient oil/water separating performance. The potential application of this work is diverse and impactful, encompassing wastewater treatment, oil spill cleanup, and various industrial separation processes.

Abstract
In this study, we review various strategies to couple sample processing in microfluidic droplets with different separation techniques, including liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and capillary electrophoresis. Separation techniques interfaced with droplet microfluidics represent an emerging trend in analytical chemistry, in which micro to femtoliter droplets serve as microreactors, a bridge between analytical modules, as well as carriers of target analytes between sample treatment and separation/detection steps. This allows to overcome the hurdles encountered in separation science, notably the low degree of module integration, working volume incompatibility, and cross contamination between different operational stages. For this droplet-separation interfacing purpose, this review covers different instrumental designs from all works on this topic up to May 2023, together with our viewpoints on respective advantages and considerations. Demonstration and performance of droplet-interfaced separation strategies for limited sample volumes are also discussed.

Abstract
Analyte migration order is a major aspect in all migration-based analytical separations methods. Presented here is the manipulation of the migration order of microparticles in an insulator-based electrokinetic separation. Three distinct particle mixtures were studied: a binary mixture of particles with similar electrical charge and different sizes, and two tertiary mixtures of particles of distinct sizes. Each one of the particle mixtures was separated twice, the first separation was performed under low voltage (linear electrokinetic regime) and the second separation was performed under high voltage (nonlinear electrokinetic regime). Linear electrophoresis, which discriminates particles by charge, is the dominant electrokinetic effect in the linear regime; while nonlinear electrophoresis, which discriminates particles by size and shape, is the dominant electrokinetic effect in the nonlinear regime. The separation results obtained with the three particle mixtures illustrated that particle elution order can be changed by switching from the linear electrokinetic regime to the nonlinear electrokinetic regime. Also, in all cases, better separation performances in terms of separation resolution (Rs) were obtained by employing the nonlinear electrokinetic regime allowing nonlinear electrophoresis to be the discriminatory electrokinetic mechanism. These findings could be applied to analyze complex samples containing bioparticles of interest within the micron size range. This is the first report where particle elution order is altered in an iEK system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) is a thin film that exists within the milk emulsion, suspended on the surface of milk fat globules, and comprises a diverse array of bioactive components. Recent advancements in MFGM research have sparked a growing interest in its biological characteristics and health-related functions. Thorough exploration and utilization of MFGM as a significant bioactive constituent in milk emulsion can profoundly impact human health in a positive manner. Scope and approach: This review comprehensively examines the current progress in understanding the structure, composition, physicochemical properties, methods of separation and purification, and biological activity of MFGM. Additionally, it underscores the vast potential of MFGM in the development of additives and drug delivery systems, with a particular focus on harnessing the surface activity and stability of proteins and phospholipids present on the MFGM for the production of natural emulsifiers and drug encapsulation materials. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS MFGM harbors numerous active substances that possess diverse physiological functions, including the promotion of digestion, maintenance of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and facilitation of nerve development. Typically employed as a dietary supplement in infant formula, MFGM's exceptional surface activity has propelled its advancement toward becoming a natural emulsifier or encapsulation material. This surface activity is primarily derived from the amphiphilicity of polar lipids and the stability exhibited by highly glycosylated proteins.

Abstract
Grandparental support may protect mothers from depression, particularly mothers who separate and enter single parenthood. Using longitudinal Finnish register data on 116,917 separating and 371,703 non-separating mothers with young children, we examined differences in mothers' antidepressant purchases by grandparental characteristics related to provision of support. Grandparents' younger age (<70 years), employment, and lack of severe health problems predicted a lower probability of maternal depression. Depression was also less common if grandparents lived close to the mother and if the maternal grandparents' union was intact. Differences in maternal depression by grandparental characteristics were larger among separating than among non-separating mothers, particularly during the years before separation. Overall, maternal grandmothers' characteristics appeared to matter most, while the role of paternal grandparents was smaller. The findings suggest that grandparental characteristics associated with increased potential for providing support and decreased need of receiving support predict a lower likelihood of maternal depression, particularly among separating mothers.

Abstract
In monogamous species, prosocial behaviors directed toward partners are dramatically different from those directed toward unknown individuals and potential threats. Dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens has a well-established role in social reward and motivation, but how this mechanism may be engaged to drive the highly divergent social behaviors directed at a partner or unfamiliar conspecific remains unknown. Using monogamous prairie voles, we first employed receptor pharmacology in partner preference and social operant tasks to show that dopamine is critical for the appetitive drive for social interaction but not for low-effort, unconditioned consummatory behaviors. We then leveraged the subsecond temporal resolution of the fluorescent biosensor, GRABDA, to ask whether differential dopamine release might distinguish between partner and novel social access and interaction. We found that partner seeking, anticipation, and interaction resulted in more accumbal dopamine release than the same events directed toward a novel vole. Further, partner-associated dopamine release decreased after prolonged partner separation. Our results are consistent with a model in which dopamine signaling plays a prominent role in the appetitive aspects of social interactions. Within this framework, differences in partner- and novel-associated dopamine release reflect the selective nature of pair bonds and may drive the partner- and novel-directed social behaviors that reinforce and cement bonds over time. This provides a potential mechanism by which highly conserved reward systems can enable selective, species-appropriate social behaviors.

Abstract
This controlled study compared the effects of 2 different gradual debonding strategies on machine milk yield, flow, and composition in a cow-driven cow-calf contact (CCC) system with automatic milking. Cows had 24 h/d access to their calves during the first weeks of lactation. In the long debonding (LDB) treatment (n = 16), a gradual reduction of cows' access to their calves was initiated 4 wk after calving over a total period of 28 d; first to 12 h/d (14 d), and then to 6 h/d (14 d). In the short debonding (SDB) treatment (n = 14), gradual reduction was initiated 6.5 wk after calving over a total period of 10 d; first to 12 h/d (5 d), and then to 6 h/d (5 d). From 6 h/d, access was finally reduced to 0 h/d for 7 d for both treatments. Machine milk yield, somatic cell count, and peak and average milk flow were automatically registered at milking. During the 9-wk study period, composite samples were analyzed for milk composition. Data were analyzed with linear mixed effect models. Results showed that machine milk yield during 24 h/d access varied between cows (range 1.2-49.9 kg/d, average ± standard deviation 13.2 ± 7.82 kg/d). The LDB cows had a higher daily machine milk yield than SDB cows at the end of and after access reduction was completed (+5.0 ± 1.63 and +5.1 ± 1.55 kg during the last 5 d of 6 h/d access, and 0 h/d access, respectively). Somatic cell count was on a healthy level, with no difference between treatments. Milk fat content increased with reduction in access, regardless of treatment. Short debonding cows tended to show higher milk protein content and lower milk lactose content than cows with a longer debonding. This study has shown that a longer debonding initiated earlier may give a higher milk yield in the short term. The variation in machine milk yield may indicate differences in milk ejection, suckling, and visiting patterns and preferences among cows.

Abstract
Polarization phenomena play a key role in membrane separation processes but remain largely unexplored for gas separations, where the mass transfer resistance is most often limited to the membrane. This assumption, which is commonly used today for the simulation of membrane gas separations, has to be reconsidered when high-performance materials, showing a very high permeance and/or selectivity, are used. In this study, a series of steady-state separation performances experimentally obtained on CO2/CH4 mixtures with a zeolite membrane are compared to the predictions of a dedicated 1D approach, recently derived and validated through CFD simulations. Polarization effects are shown to generate a significant negative impact on the separation performances, both in terms of the productivity and separation efficiency. The 1D model predictions, based on pure gas permeance data and without any adjustable parameters, are in very good agreement with the experimental data. This fast and efficient modeling approach can easily be implemented in simulation or process synthesis programs for the rigorous evaluation of membrane gas separation processes, when high-performance materials are used.

Abstract
There is evidence for intergenerational transmission of substance use and disorder. However, it is unclear whether separation from a parent with substance use disorder (SUD) moderates intergenerational transmission, and no studies have tested this question across three generations. In a three-generation study of families oversampled for familial SUD, we tested whether separation between father (G1; first generation) and child (G2; second generation) moderated the effect of G1 father SUDs on G2 child SUDs. We also tested whether separation between father (G2) and child (G3; third generation) moderated the effect of G2 SUDs on G3 drinking. Finally, we tested whether G1-G2 or G2-G3 separation moderated the mediated effect of G1 SUDs on G3 drinking through G2 SUDs. G1 father-G2 child separation moderated intergenerational transmission. In families with G1-G2 separation, there were no significant effects of father SUD on G2 SUD or G3 drinking. However, in nonseparated families, greater G1 father SUDs predicted heightened G2 SUDs and G3 grandchild drinking. In nonseparated families, G1 father SUDs significantly predicted G2 SUDs, which predicted G3 drinking. However, G2-G3 separation predicted heightened G3 drinking regardless of G2 and G1 SUDs. Parental separation may introduce risk for SUDs and drinking among youth with lower familial risk.

Abstract
This study delves into the thermodynamics of liquid-phase adsorption on hypercrosslinked polystyrene networks (HPSNs), widely recognized for their distinct structure and properties. Despite the considerable progress in HPSN synthesis and characterization, gaps persist regarding the chromatographic retention mechanism, thermodynamics of adsorption, and their impact on the adsorption selectivity, especially in the case of networks with ultra-high crosslinking densities (up to 500%). Utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we have explored, for the first time, the thermodynamic intricacies of liquid-phase adsorption onto HPSNs crosslinked in the entire range of the crosslinking degree from 100 to 500%. Our findings reveal the dependences of thermodynamic characteristics and selectivity of adsorption on the crosslinking degree, textural features, and liquid-phase composition in the region of extremely low adsorbent surface coverages (Henry's range). We have detected that, in the case of HPSNs, the dependence of the thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption on the liquid-phase composition is different than for classical HPLC stationary phases. Moreover, we scrutinize the impact of the molecular structure of the studied aromatic compounds on the thermodynamic characteristics and selectivity of the liquid-phase adsorption on HPSNs. Investigating liquid-phase adsorption selectivity, we demonstrate the pivotal role of π-π interactions in separating aromatic compounds on HPSNs. Eventually, we unveil that the thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption peculiarly depend on the crosslinking degree due to the profound impact of the crosslinking on the electronic density in benzene rings in HPSNs, whereas the separation throughput peaks for the polymer with a 500% crosslinking degree, attributed to its exceptionally rigid network structure, moderate swelling and micropore volume, and minimum specific surface area.

Abstract
Knowledge is lacking on separation strategies that can best prepare calves to final separation from the dam in cow-calf contact (CCC) systems. This controlled trial compared the effects of 2 different methods to gradually reduce cows' access to their calf termed "debonding" on calf growth in a cow-driven CCC system. Initially, cows (Norwegian Red breed) had 24 h/d computer-controlled access to their calves. In the long debonding (LDB) treatment (n = 16), a gradual reduction of cows' access to their calves was initiated 28 d after calving over a total duration of 28 d; first to 12 h/d (14 d), and then to 6 h/d (14 d). In the short debonding (SDB) treatment (n = 14), reduction was initiated 45 d after calving over a total duration of 10 d; first to 12 h/d (5 d), and then to 6 h/d (5 d). From 6 h/d, access was finally reduced to 0 h/d for 4 d for both treatments, resulting in a study period of 60 d in total. Calves had ad libitum access to concentrate, hay and water throughout the study. Independent of treatment, ad libitum access to whole-milk from an automatic feeder was granted once cow access was reduced. Cows and calves had the possibility for fence line contact at all times. The primary outcome variable calf weight gain was registered biweekly. Calf average daily gain (ADG) was analyzed with a linear mixed model. ADG was similar across treatments during 24 h/d access (1.04 ± 0.07 kg). Debonding treatment affected calf growth differently with each gradual reduction in cow access (12 h/d, 6 h/d and 0 h/d), however no main effect of treatment was detected. SDB calves had a pattern of increased ADG with the first reduction in access (+0.39 ± 0.18kg), followed by significant growth checks as access was reduced further to 6 h/d and 0 h/d (-0.41 ± 0.20 kg and -1.15 ± 0.31 kg, respectively). LDB calves only showed significant weight checks at the final reduction in access (0 h/d access), yet at a lower degree (-0.46 ± 0.21 kg) than SDB calves. As expected, ADG was negatively associated with health events but positively associated with intake of concentrate and supplemental milk. Collectively, the results from the present study might point toward a long adaptation to separation which is initiated at a younger age being more favorable for calf performance.

Abstract
Clustering of cells is an essential component of many biological processes from tissue formation to cancer metastasis. We develop a minimal, Vicsek-based model of cellular interactions that robustly and accurately captures the variable propensity of different cells to form groups when confined. We calibrate and validate the model with experimental data on clustering affinities of four lines of tumor cells. We then show that cell clustering or separation tendencies are retained in environments with higher cell number densities and in cell mixtures. Finally, we calibrate our model with experimental measurements on the separation of cells treated with anti-clustering agents and find that treated cells maintain their distances in denser suspensions. We show that the model reconstructs several cell interaction mechanisms, which makes it suitable for exploring the dynamics of cell cluster formation as well as cell separation. Insight: We developed a model of cellular interactions that captures the clustering and separation of cells in an enclosure. Our model is particularly relevant for microfluidic systems with confined cells and we centered our work around one such emerging assay for the detection and research on clustering breast cancer cells. We calibrated our model using the existing experimental data and used it to explore the functionality of the assay under a broader set of conditions than originally considered. Future usages of our model can include purely theoretical and computational considerations, exploring experimental devices, and supporting research on small to medium-sized cell clusters.

Abstract
A 3D hydrogen-bonded metal-organic framework, [Cu(apc)2]n (TJU-Dan-5, Hapc = 2-aminopyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid), was synthesized via a solvothermal reaction. The activated TJU-Dan-5 with permanent porosity exhibits a moderate uptake of 1.52 wt% of hydrogen gas at 77 K. The appropriate BET surface areas and decoration of the internal polar pore surfaces with groups that form extensive hydrogen bonds offer a more favorable environment for selective C2H6 adsorption, with a predicted selectivity for C2H6/CH4 of around 101 in C2H6/CH4 (5:95, v/v) mixtures at 273 K under 100 kPa. The molecular model calculation demonstrates a C-H···π interaction and a van der Waals host-guest interaction of C2H6 with the pore walls. This work provides a strategy for the construction of 3D hydrogen-bonded MOFs, which may have great potential in the purification of natural gas.

Abstract
Advanced oxidization processes (AOPs) offer promising solutions for addressing the fouling issues in membrane separation systems. However, the high energy requirements for electrical or light power in the AOPs can be a drawback. In this study, we present a contact-electro-catalysis (CEC)-based approach for controlling membrane fouling, which is stimulated by mild ultrasonic irradiation. During this process, electrons are transferred between a dancing polytetrafluoroethylene membrane and water or oxygen molecules, resulting in the formation of free radicals •OH and •O2-. These free radicals are capable of degrading or inactivating foulants, eliminating the need for additional chemical cleaners, secondary waste disposal, or external stimuli. Furthermore, the time-dependent voltage spikes/oscillations (peak, +7.8/-8.2 V) generate a nonuniform electric field that drives dielectrophoresis, effectively keeping contaminants away from the membrane surface and further enhancing the antifouling performance of the dancing membrane. Therefore, the CEC-assisted membrane separation system offers a green and effective strategy for controlling membrane fouling through mild mechanical stimulation.

Abstract
The fabrication of flexible composites by integrating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with flexible substrates is a critical strategy for developing advanced materials with excellent feasibility and processability. These flexible MOF-based composites play a particularly important role in the separation and purification processes. However, several drawbacks remain challenge to overcome such as long processing time, high-cost, complicated processes, or harsh reaction conditions. In this paper, a convenient and efficient method is reported for fabricating MOF/fiber composites using a simple drop-and-drain (D&D) process. By exploiting the electrostatic interactions between the positively charged MOF particles and negatively charged fiber-based flexible substrates, a uniform coating of MOF on flexible fibers are achieved. This is accomplished by allowing the MOF ink to drop and drain through a substrate using a custom-made Teflon cell. Additionally, the D&D method enables the production of multiple layers of composites in a single-step process. UiO-66 and ZIF-8 submicroparticles and various substrates such as cotton-pad, cotton-fabric, nylon-fabric, PET-fabric, and filter-paper are employed to create flexible MOF/fiber composites. These composites demonstrate outstanding capacities for capturing negatively charged organic dyes, including methyl orange and indigo carmine. Furthermore, the MOF/fiber composites can be reused for dye capture after a simple washing process.

Abstract
In this report, a microporous metal-organic framework of [Ca(TDC)(DMA)]n (1) and a two-dimensional coordination polymer of [Ca(TDC)(DMF)2 ]n (2), (TDC2- =Thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate, DMA=N, N'-dimethylacetamide and DMF=N, N'-dimethylformamide) based on Ca(II) were designed by the effect of solvent, and X-ray analysis was performed for the single crystals of 1 and 2. Then, compound 1 was synthesized in three different methods and identified with a set of analyses. Compared to other adsorbents, MOFs are widely used in the field of adsorption and separation of various gases due to a series of distinctive features such as diverse and adjustable structures pores with different dimensions, high porosity and surface area with regular distribution of active sites. Therefore, the ability of 1 to uptake single gases (CH4 , CO2 , C2 H2 , H2, and N2 ) and separation of several binary mixtures of gases (CO2 /CH4 , CO2 /N2 , CO2 /H2 and CO2 /C2 H2 ), were investigated using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Volumetric and gravimetric adsorption isotherms in various operating conditions, the isosteric heat of adsorption (qst ), the chemical potential for each thermodynamic state, and snapshots during the simulation process were reported in all cases. The results obtained from the adsorption simulation indicate that compound 1 has a high capacity for uptake of H2 (16 mmol g-1 ) and N2 (12.5 mmol g-1 ), CO2 (6.6 mmol g-1 ), C2 H2 (5 mmol g-1 ) and CH4 (1.5 mmol g-1 ) gases at 1 bar. It also performs well in separating CO2 in binary mixtures, which can be attributed to the presence of open metal sites in nodes of 1 and their electrostatic tendency to interact with CO2 containing the higher quadrupole dipole moment compared to other components of the mixture.

Abstract
In this study, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) extraction combined with a magnetic bead ligand affinity analytical method was developed and used for α-glucosidase inhibitor identification from Pueraria lobata. Several critical parameters affecting the analysis performance, including the type of DES, molar ratio, water amount, pH, salt concentration, and volume of DES, were investigated. The selected analytical sample preparation conditions were as follows. The composition of DES is choline chloride-1,4-butanediol (1:3), the water content is 40%, pH is 7.0 and the volume of extraction solution is 2 mL. The obtained sample extraction solution was analyzed directly using α-glucosidase immobilized magnetic beads (GMBs). Three α-glucosidase inhibitors in Pueraria lobata, including puerarin, daidzin, and daidzein, were identified. Luteolin was used as a positive control to evaluate the method's selectivity. Results showed it could selectively bond to the GMBs in the DES. As the affinity analysis was performed directly in a DES, the solution-removing process could be avoided. The intra-day and inter-day precisions of the method are 5.21% and 6.38%, respectively. The solvent amount was 1/50-1/2000 of that used in traditional methods.

Abstract
The percentage of female offenders who are single mothers of minor children is a growing concern among the total incarcerated population in South Africa and globally. This study aimed to explore how expectations about mothering manifest for incarcerated mothers who are physically separated from their children. The experience of motherhood was captured using face-to-face interviews with a guide of semi-structured questions with eight (8) incarcerated mothers at Johannesburg correctional facility, Gauteng province, South Africa. The data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) couched with Social Identity Theory (SIT) and revealed that circumstances that led to maternal pathways differed from the literature. The findings of this study provided a foundation of how the social context, together with maternal obligation, influences behaviors that women internalize, and which lead to offending behaviors. This warrants further research in an effort to curb and prevent maternal incarceration.

Abstract
Herbal medicine has been studied as an alternate approach to modern medicine as it is more cost-effective and accessible via natural sources. Eclipta alba (E. alba, L.) Hassk. is a weed plant abundantly distributed throughout different regions of the world and contains abundant bioactive compounds used for various skin conditions. In this review, we aimed to gather information from the literature about the extraction, separation, and identification of these bioactive compounds and their potential in skin diseases. Relevant studies published before August 2023 were identified and selected from electronic databases, including Scopus, SciFinder, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Wiley Library, using the following keywords: Eclipta alba, Eclipta prostrata, phytochemicals, extraction, separation, isolation, identification, characterization, pharmacological activity, and skin conditions. Up-to-date extraction, separation, and identification methods of bioactive compounds from E. alba and their skin-related pharmacological activities are discussed in this review. As there are limitations regarding extraction, separation, and identification methods, and in-depth mechanistic and human studies of the skin-related pharmacological activities of bioactive compounds, these gaps are areas for future research to expand our understanding and broaden the potential applications of this medicinal weed plant, including the development of cosmeceutical and skincare products, anti-inflammatory agents, and formulations for dermatological treatments.

Abstract
There is a rising need for rapid and reliable analytical methods for separating microorganisms in clinical and biomedical applications. Microscale-insulator-based electrokinetic (iEK) systems have proven to be robust platforms for assessing a wide variety of microorganisms. Traditionally, iEK systems are usually stimulated with direct-current (DC) potentials. This work presents a comparison between using DC potentials and using DC-biased alternating-current (AC) potentials in iEK systems for the separation of microorganisms. The present study, which includes mathematical modeling and experimentation, compares the separation of bacterial and yeast cells in two distinct modes by using DC and DC-biased AC potentials. The quality of both separations, assessed in terms of separation resolution (Rs), showed a complete separation (Rs = 1.51) with the application of a DC-biased low-frequency AC signal but an incomplete separation (Rs = 0.55) with the application of an RMS-equivalent DC signal. Good reproducibility between experimental repetitions (<10%) was obtained, and good agreement (~18% deviation) was observed between modeling and experimental retention times. The present study demonstrates the potential of extending the limits of iEK systems by employing DC-biased AC potentials to perform discriminatory separations of microorganisms that are difficult to separate with the application of DC potentials.

Abstract
The extraction of Fe(III), Cr(III), and Ni(II) from stainless steel rinse water using non-dispersive extraction and strip dispersion membrane technology was carried out in a microporous hydrophobic hollow-fibre module contactor. The fibres were of polypropylene, whereas the organic extractant DP8R (bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid) diluted in ExxsolD100 was used as the carrier phase. The rinse water containing the three elements was passed through the tube side, and the pseudo-emulsion formed by the organic phase of DP8R in Exxol D100 and an acidic strip solution were passed through the shell side in a counter-current operation; thus, a unique hollow fibre module was used for extraction and stripping. In non-dispersive extraction and strip dispersion technology, the stripping solution was dispersed into the organic membrane solution in a vessel with an adequate mixing device (impeller) designed to form strip dispersion. This pseudo-emulsion was circulated from the vessel to the membrane module to provide a constant supply of the organic phase to the membrane pores. Different hydrodynamic and chemical variables, such as variation in feed and pseudo-emulsion flow rates, strip phase composition, feed phase pH, and extractant concentration in the organic phase, were investigated. Mass transfer coefficients were estimated from the experimental data. It was possible to separate and concentrate the metals present in the rinse water using the non-dispersive extraction and strip dispersion technique.

Abstract
Much progress has been made in the electrokinetic phenomena inside nanochannels in the last decades. As the dimensions of the nanochannels are compatible to that of the electric double layer (EDL), the electrokinetics inside nanochannels indicate many unexpected behaviors, which show great potential in the fields of material science, biology, and chemistry. This review summarizes the recent development of nanofluidic electrokinetics in both fundamental and applied research. First, the techniques for constructing nanochannels are introduced to give a guideline for choosing the optimal fabrication technique based on the specific feature of the nanochannel. Then, the theories and experimental investigations of the EDL, electroosmotic flow, and electrophoresis of nanoparticles inside the nanochannels are discussed. Furthermore, the applications of nanofluidic electrokinetics in iontronics, sensing, and biomolecule separation fields are summarized. In Section 5, some critical challenges and the perspective on the future development of nanofluidic electrokinetics are briefly proposed.

Abstract
The separation of wear microparticles in lubricating oil is crucial for improving the accuracy and throughput of the subsequent detection. However, there are few kinds of research on the separation of high-density metallic microparticles in high-viscosity lubricating oil. In this paper, a passive method for separating the metallic microparticles in oil is proposed. Gravity sedimentation was adopted to realize three-dimensional (3D) focusing of the particle by using an inclined capillary. The gravity-based 3D focusing made the sheath flow no longer responsible for the particle focusing and effectively reduced the sheath flow. Then, the separation of different-sized metallic microparticles was achieved in a horizontal channel with the aid of a sheath flow based on the different driving forces. The present method solved the problem of nonsynchronous separation of the particle in comparison to the traditional methods. This device has a simple structure with high separation efficiency, and it is easy to integrate with the detection channel. The influence of numerous parameters on the gravity-based focusing and separation was systematically studied by the numerical simulation and the experiment. The design criteria were established, which is useful in designing and employing the device, expanding its application to other non-neutral buoyancy particle separation cases, and opening up more prospects for microfluidic technology.

Abstract
Past studies have confirmed the etiologies of bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) in various diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of stool-derived bacterial extracellular vesicles (stBEVs) and discuss their association with stool bacteria. First, three culture models - gram-positive (G+)BcBEVs (from B.coagulans), gram-negative (G-)EcBEVs (from E.coli), and eukaryotic cell-derived EVs (EEV, from Colo205 cell line) - were used to benchmark various fractions of stEVs separated from optimized density gradient approach (DG). As such, WB, TEM, NTA, and functional assays, were utilized to analyze properties and distribution of EVs in cultured and stool samples. Stool samples from healthy individuals were interrogated using the approaches developed. Results demonstrated successful separation of most stBEVs (within DG fractions 8&9) from stEEVs (within DG fractions 5&6). Data also suggest the presence of stBEV DNA within vesicles after extraction of BEV DNA and DNase treatment. Metagenomic analysis from full-length (FL) region sequencing results confirmed significant differences between stool bacteria and stBEVs. Significantly, F8&9 and the pooled sample (F5-F9) exhibited a similar microbial composition, indicating that F8&9 were enriched in most stBEV species, primarily dominated by Firmicutes (89.6%). However, F5&6 and F7 still held low-density BEVs with a significantly higher proportion of Proteobacteria (20.5% and 40.7%, respectively) and Bacteroidetes (24% and 13.7%, respectively), considerably exceeding the proportions in stool and F8&9. Importantly, among five healthy individuals, significant variations were observed in the gut microbiota composition of their respective stBEVs, indicating the potential of stBEVs as a target for personalized medicine and research.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials that hold promise for the adsorptive separation of industrially relevant gas mixtures. However, developing HOFs with high thermal stability and resistance to water remains a daunting challenge. We report here a microporous HOF (HIAM-103) assembled from a hexacarboxylate linker (2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triylisophthalic acid, H6TMBTI). The compound crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, and its structure is a four-fold interpenetrated network. Upon thermal activation, the single crystals remain intact, allowing for precise determination of the activated structure. HIAM-103 exhibits remarkable thermal and hydrothermal stability. Its microporous channels demonstrate selective adsorption of C2H6 over C2H4 and Xe over Kr, and its separation capability toward mixed gases has been validated by column breakthrough experiments under dry and humid conditions. The preferential gas adsorption sites and separation mechanisms have been uncovered through DFT analysis, which suggests that the methyl group decorated 1D channels are the primary reason for the selective adsorption.

Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), with its unique chemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, has become a crucial acrylic polymer for the industry. This polymer has been widely used to fabricate ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis membranes for water treatment applications. However, it recently started to be used to fabricate thin-film composite (TFC) and fiber-based forward osmosis (FO) membranes at a lab scale. Phase inversion and electrospinning methods were the most utilized techniques to fabricate PAN-based FO membranes. The PAN substrate layer could function as a good support layer to create TFC and fiber membranes with excellent performance under FO process conditions by selecting the proper modification techniques. The various modification techniques used to enhance PAN-based FO performance include interfacial polymerization, layer-by-layer assembly, simple coating, and incorporating nanofillers. Thus, the fabrication and modification techniques of PAN-based porous FO membranes have been highlighted in this work. Also, the performance of these FO membranes was investigated. Finally, perspectives and potential directions for further study on PAN-based FO membranes are presented in light of the developments in this area. This review is expected to aid the scientific community in creating novel effective porous FO polymeric membranes based on PAN polymer for various water and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Assembled heterostructure systems, as emerging functional materials, have broad applications ranging from enzyme and drug payload to catalysis and purification. However, these require trial- and -error design process and complex experimental environment to generate heterostructure materials. Here, this study describes an easy-to-execute strategy to fabricate magnetic heterostructure as multifunctional delivery system. We utilize first-row transition metal copper and nitroso/amino ligand as modules to assemble around Fe3 O4 magnetic nanoparticles by excessed mild stimuli and fabricate the magnetic heterostructure materials (Fe3 O4 @ TACN NPs (tetraamminecopper (II) nitrate)). Notably, the Fe3 O4 @ TACN NPs present with cat's-whisker structure containing ligand and metal center. The nitroso-group ligands exhibit strong binding affinity to heme-structure enzyme, ensuring effective capture and isolate of cytochrome C (Cyt-c), resulting in their excellent isolation property. The copper complex-powered magnetic heterostructure materials can effectively isolation Cyt-c from complex biological sample (pork heart). Importantly, the Fe3 O4 @ TACN NPs coordinated with heme-structure, induced methionine 80 (Met80) disassociates from heme prosthetic group, and contributed to peroxidase-like (POD-like) activities increasing. These results exhibit that copper complex-powered magnetic heterostructure materials can not only satisfy the Cyt-c isolation and immobilization in an alkaline medium, but also be of the potential for improving the immobilization enzyme reactor performance.

Abstract
In this work, eight compounds from Phellodendron chinense were separated and purified by pH-zone refining counter-current chromatography and traditional counter-current chromatography coupled with online-storage inner-recycling counter-current chromatography (IRCCC). The pH-zone-refining mode was adopted for separating 2.0 g of crude extract with the solvent system of chloroform-methanol-water (4:3:3, v/v), in which 10 mM hydrochloric acid and 10 mM triethylamine were added in the stationary and mobile phases, respectively. Meanwhile, traditional counter-current chromatography coupled with online-storage IRCCC separation was performed by the solvent system of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (5:5:2:8, v/v). Finally, eight compounds, including six alkaloids as 6-methylpiperidin-2-one(1), isoplatydesmine(4), berlambine(5), epiberberine(6), palmatine(7), berberine(8) and two phenolic acids as ferulic acid(2), isoferulic acid(3), were successfully obtained using these three different CCC modes with the purities over 95.0%.

Abstract
We examine the socio-economic differentials in mothers' and non-mothers' repartnering behaviours following the dissolution of a co-residential (marital or cohabiting) union. Based on five waves of the National Survey of Family Growth (N = 11,479), we use discrete-time event history models, jointly modelling exit from a partnership and entry into a new union. Few differences are found for entry into direct marriage, which is a rarely observed event. However, when we examine women's entry into cohabitation (a possible stepping stone to marriage), we observe: (1) a motherhood gap, where mothers are less likely to repartner than non-mothers; (2) a negative association between educational attainment and repartnering probability; and (3) the motherhood gap existing only for low-educated women. Supplementary analyses on the impact of the Great Recession demonstrate that whereas the economic cycle mattered for the repartnering of low-educated women, it made no difference for more highly educated women.

Abstract
The transition from pediatrics to adult wards concerns all chronic diseases with a pediatric onset, but there are a number of specific features in the case of severe forms of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa: worsening wound surface and chronicity with age, appearance or increase in certain complications (carcinological, renal, nutritional, dental), sometimes difficult therapeutic choices, sometimes life-threatening prognosis. But one of the major problems limiting the patient's autonomy is the difficulty of finding a paramedic to take over skin care, often provided from birth by a parent who has become a caregiver through necessity.

Abstract
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are polymeric compounds widely used in industry and daily life. Although contamination of aquatic products with MNPs exists, most current research on MNPs focuses on environmental, ecological, and toxicological studies, with less on food safety. Currently, the extent to which aquatic products are affected depends primarily on the physical and chemical properties of the consumed MNPs and the content of MNPs. This review presents new findings on the occurrence of MNPs in aquatic products in light of their properties, carrier effects, chemical effects, seasonality, spatiality, and differences in their location within organisms. The latest studies have been summarized for separation and identification of MNPs for aquatic products as well as their physical and chemical properties in aquatic products using fish, bivalves, and crustaceans as models from a food safety perspective. Also, the shortcomings of safety studies are reviewed, and guidance is provided for future research directions. Finally, gaps in current knowledge on MNPs are also emphasized.

Abstract
The systematic increase in the use of rare earth elements (REEs) in various technologically advanced products around the world (e.g., in electronic devices), the growing amount of waste generated by the use of high-tech materials, and the limited resources of naturally occurring REE ores resulted in an intensive search for effective and environmentally safe methods for recovering these elements. Among these methods, techniques based on the application of various types of liquid membranes (LMs) play an important role, primarily due to their high efficiency, the simplicity of membrane formation and use, the utilization of only small amounts of environmentally hazardous reagents, and the possibility of simultaneous extraction and back-extraction and reusing the membranes after regeneration. However, because both primary and secondary sources (e.g., waste) of REEs are usually complex and contain a wide variety of components, and the selectivity and efficiency of LMs depend on many factors (e.g., the composition and form of the membrane, nature of the recovered ions, composition of the feed and stripping phases, etc.), new membranes are being developed that are "tailored" to the properties of the recovered rare earth elements and to the character of the solution in which they occur. This review describes the latest achievements (since 2019) related to the recovery of a range of REEs with the use of various liquid membranes (supported liquid membranes (SLMs), emulsion liquid membranes (ELMs), and polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs)), with particular emphasis on methods that fall within the trend of eco-friendly solutions.

Abstract
Metastasis of cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important in the metastatic process of cancer. CTCs are able to circulate in the bloodstream. Therefore, they can be used as biomarkers of metastasis. However, CTCs are rare when compared to a large number of blood cells in the blood. Many CTC detection methods have been developed to increase CTC detection efficiency. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have attracted immense attention owing to their potential medical applications. They are particularly appealing as a tool for cell separation. Because of their unique properties, MNPs are of considerable interest for the enrichment of CTCs through CTC or non-CTC separation. Herein, we review recent developments in the application of MNPs to separate CTCs or non-CTCs in samples containing CTCs. This review provides information on new approaches that can be used to detect CTCs in blood samples. The combination of MNPs with other particles for magnetic-based cell separation for CTC detection is discussed. Furthermore, different approaches for synthesizing MNPs are included in this review.
