Timescale correlation of shallow trap states increases electrochemiluminescence efficiency in carbon nitrides by Yanfeng Fang, Hong Yang, Yuhua Hou, Wang Li, Yanfei Shen, Songqin Liu, Yuanjian Zhang

“…Quantitative electrochemiluminescence kinetics measurements and theoretic calculations jointly disclose that Au-N bonds endow shallow electron trap states, which coordinate the timescale of the fast electron transfer in the bulk emitter and the slow redox reaction of co-reagent at diffusion layers. The shallow electron trap states ultimately accelerate the rate and kinetics of emissive electron-hole recombination, setting a new cathodic electrochemiluminescence efficiency record of carbon nitrides, and empowering a visual electrochemiluminescence sensor for nitrite ion, a typical environmental contaminant, with superior detection range and limit.…”

Influence of Liquid Level Height on Flow Characteristics and Mixing Efficiency in a Loop Bioreactor by Fan Xu, Xiaoping Guan, Ning Yang, Maximilian Lackner

“…Conversely, elevated liquid levels ([Formula: see text]) enhance diffusion-driven mixing, shortening mixing time by 2/3 at [Formula: see text] compared to [Formula: see text] A critical transition from convection-dominated to diffusion-dominated regimes is identified at [Formula: see text] with mixing efficiency becoming less sensitive to stirring speed at [Formula: see text] These findings provide feasible guidelines for optimizing loop scalability and advancing reactor optimization strategies for continuous bioprocessing.…”

A Geometric Approach to Efficient Modeling and Rendering of Opaque Ice With Directional Air Bubbles by Jong-Hyun Kim

“…To address the issues of noise and distorted dissolved air fields in previous methods, we propose the following improvements: 1) We synthesize the level-set of the ice shape into a spherical form to reduce noise and streamline the algorithm. 2) We propose an efficient method to control the termination condition of heat diffusion by utilizing the number of active particles and the initial dissolved oxygen level. 3) Unlike previous methods that calculated the dissolved air field only near air bubbles, we extend the diffusion to transparent regions, enabling the realistic representation of opaque ice shapes. 4) To accurately compute the directional properties of air bubbles, we introduce a level-set-based approach. 5) We extend the solver to control the generation of dissolved air fields and air bubbles based on water temperature. 6) Finally, we present a method to realistically visualize opaque ice shapes using Unreal Engine (UE). …”
