Article Abstract
A novel asymmetric capacitive deionisation (CDI) device was home-made for the removal of cations from an aqueous solution through the structural innovation in this experiment. The adsorbent materials were characterised by Scanning Electron Microscope and BET as well as performing cyclic voltammetry curve tests. The results showed that the materials exhibited excellent performance (the specific surface area is 321.14 m²/g) and the maximum specific capacitance of the adsorbent material can reach 60 F/g at the 5 mV/s. The optimal operating conditions of the asymmetric CDI device were obtained using an orthogonal test method analysis and response surface methodology: the best desalination efficiency of CDI obtained at the concentration is 455.82 mg/L, the potential is 1.18 V and the flow rate is 46.54 mL/min. After the analysis of first-order kinetic model, it can be obtained that the fastest adsorption efficiency for Ca, followed by Mg, and the slowest for Na, and the CDI device had a better adsorption effect on divalent cations. Simulation by Comsol software showed that the adsorption efficiency was better at a high flow rate. In addition, the CDI device has good stability and the mechanism of targeted cation removal and mass transfer process of the CDI were discussed in detail.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a crucial technique for industries managing liquid chemical waste, requiring efficient electrode materials to ensure optimal performance. This study presents a novel undergraduate experimental teaching framework that integrates the understanding, development, and practical application of porous biochar-based CDI systems. Designed to support both students and educators, the curriculum guides learners through the synthesis of biochar electrodes via biomass pyrolysis and the assembly of CDI devices for treating phosphogypsum wastewater.

Precision porous scaffolds hold promise for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their ability to support cell ingrowth and vascularization and mitigate the foreign body reaction (FBR). In previous work, we demonstrated that vat photopolymerization 3D printing enables the fabrication of porous scaffolds with 40 μm interconnected cubical pores. This study aims to do a preliminary evaluation of cellular responses and the FBR to 3D-printed scaffolds with 40 μm cubical pores, in comparison with template-fabricated spherical pores (optimized for healing) and non-porous slabs (negative control).

We present a Geant4-based simulation study of the electromagnetic sampling calorimeter (ECAL) foreseen in the LUXE experiment. The ECAL will enable precise measurement of the number and energy spectrum of positrons and electrons. The electromagnetic shower response, energy resolution, and linearity-properties that are essential for physics research-are studied.

Purpose: Upper lacrimal duct obstruction (ULDO) is defined as obstruction or stenosis at the level of the lacrimal puncta, lacrimal canaliculi and/or common canaliculus. Among the alternatives available for its treatment are the placements of lacrimal point plugs, closed dacryointubation with Crawford tube (CDI), conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy (CJDCR) and bicanalicular intubation (BI). In this study, we compared patency, tearing symptomatology, and postoperative complications between bicanalicular intubation with the autostable bicanaliculus intubation set II (ABI) device and standard treatment (CDI) for the treatment of patients with ULDO.

Background: Patellar tendon rupture is an uncommon injury that usually requires surgical repair, but no consensus exists regarding the ideal repair technique. Suture anchor repair and the transosseous suture method have be widely used, but the suture anchor technique may cause anchor pull-out, while the transosseous suture method may result in insufficient suture strength. Therefore, we propose and evaluate the efficacy of combined repair technique with two suture anchors and three transosseous sutures for patellar tendon repairs.
