Article Abstract
Hydrodynamic properties of a series of ionic polysaccharides with different charge density but the same molecular weight have been evaluated in salt-free aqueous solution and aqueous/organic solvent mixtures by means of capillary viscometry. The polyelectrolytes investigated contain quaternary ammonium salt groups, N-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-hydroxypropylammonium chloride, attached to a dextran backbone. The experimental viscometric data have been plotted in terms of the Wolf method. The results show that the experimental data fit well with this model and allow the calculation of intrinsic viscosities and other hydrodynamic parameters, which provide new information about the dependence of the polyion conformation on its polyion charge density as well as on solvent composition.

Aquatic microorganisms typically inhabit a heterogeneous resource landscape, composed of localized and transient patches. To effectively exploit these resources, they have evolved a wide range of feeding strategies that combine chemotactic motility with active feeding flows. However, there is a notable lack of experimental studies that examine how these active flows shape resource fields to optimize feeding.

This study evaluated the modification of corn starch using low-intensity pulsed electric field (PEF: 10 kV) combined with sodium salts (NaCl, NaCO₃, NaH₂PO₄) to investigate how pH and increased electrical conductivity affect starch structure. The study examined how salt pH and increased conductivity from electronegativity differences enhance polymer structural changes. NaCO₃ reduced amylose and long amylopectin chains (DP ≥ 37) by 18 %, confirmed by hydrodynamic radius (Rh) reductions for amylose (3.

In alpine meadow regions, macropore flow is a critical but inadequately understood pathway for antibiotic transport. The complex relationship between macropore structure, flow dynamics, and solute properties presents a significant research gap. Methodological limitations hinder the accurate characterization of solute migration mechanisms due to complex macropore structures.

Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation is a major cause of low back pain and disability, with microdiscectomy being the standard surgical treatment. However, microdiscectomy fails to address annulus fibrosus (AF) defects, increasing the risk of recurrent herniation. Current therapeutic strategies for this condition remain limited in efficacy.
