IMPLICATION ON FIXED-BED-CATALYTIC-REACTOR DESIGN WHEN CONSIDERING INTRAPARTICLE MATERIAL BALANCE AT MICROSCALE by KLAUS SERNY, MILEXI PACHECO

“…This work evaluated the implications on preliminary fixed bed catalytic reactor design and its associated basic cost from bench-scale when it is considered the material balance at microscale under a deterministic model accompanied with heuristic considerations on equipment design showing that understanding chemical reaction engineering is key to design of more efficient and economical industrial processes (decrease in 50 % of equipment sizing and 40 % of the equipment cost for this study). …”

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) nanomechanical characterization of micro- and nanoplastics to support environmental investigations in groundwater by Massimiliano Galluzzi, Michele Lancia, Chunmiao Zheng, Viviana Re, Valter Castelvetro, Shifeng Guo, Stefano Viaroli

“…Advanced spectroscopic techniques can detect the polymer type and quantify the number of MNP particles but are affected by large uncertainties in case of particles smaller than 10 μm in size and MNP heteroaggregates. To advance in the morphological and mechanical characterization of MNPs, a new protocol based on multifrequency Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is proposed with the support of the custom open software “MultiFreq AFMSuite”. …”

Donafenib combined with sintilimab for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a single arm phase II trial by Xiaoyang Hong, Yongjian Guo, Wenbo Shi, Kangshun Zhu, Licong Liang, Liteng Lin, Ye Chen, Jingwen Zhou, Jingjun Huang, Jiabai Huang, Yaozhu Wu, Wensou Huang, Mingyue Cai

“…As 3 patients (50.0%) experienced DLTs during safety run-in, the initial dose of donafenib was adjusted to 200 mg once daily for subsequent patients. The primary endpoint was met with a median PFS of 6.2 (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.4-8.0) months per mRECIST (6.3 [95% CI, 5.4–7.2] months per RECIST 1.1). …”
