Evaluation of various techniques for separation of non-polar modifier concentrates from petroleum waxy by-products by Fathi S. Soliman, Magdy T. Zaky, Amal S. Farag, Nermen H. Mohamed, Lamia S. Mohamed, S. Hanafi

“…The results showed that, the light slack wax is selected as a suitable wax for separation of n-alkanes with even number of carbon atoms ranging from C20 to C26 for their high n-paraffin contents and can be used as non-polar structural modifiers. Different separation techniques; multistage fractional crystallization and liquid–solid chromatography; followed by the urea adduction technique have been used to separate non-polar modifier concentrates from the light slack wax crude. …”

Reducing endotoxin contamination in chitosan: An optimized purification method for biomedical applications by Majed Ghattas, Anik Chevrier, Dong Wang, Mohamad-Gabriel Alameh, Marc Lavertu

“…In vitro immunoassays showed that proinflammatory cytokine responses (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6) in J774A.1 macrophages were primarily driven by endotoxin contamination, which was significantly reduced following purification. Structural properties of chitosan showed no measurable impact on cytokine profiles.This study underscores the critical need for endotoxin assessment and removal in chitosan intended for biomedical applications.…”

Hysteresis Model for Flexure-Shear Critical Circular Reinforced Concrete Columns Considering Cyclic Degradation by Zhibin Feng, Jiying Wang, Hua Huang, Weiqi Liang, Yingjie Zhou, Qin Zhang, Jinxin Gong

“…This study develops a novel hysteresis model explicitly incorporating three key mechanisms: (1) directionally asymmetric strength degradation weighted by hysteretic energy, (2) cycle-dependent pinching governed by damage accumulation paths, and (3) amplitude-driven stiffness degradation decoupled from cycle count, calibrated and validated using 14 column tests from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) structural performance database. Key findings reveal that significant strength degradation primarily manifests during initial loading cycles but subsequently stabilizes. …”
