Article Abstract
The influence of flow channels on the leaching behavior of toxic elements in contaminated soil cannot be neglected in a column percolation test. This study presents a visualization of the flow channel formed in the soil and evaluated the relationship between the leaching behavior of soil components and flow. We conducted column percolation tests with two types of filling methods (Compaction and No compaction) and used X-ray computed tomography to visualize the soil structure and non-uniform flow. Additionally, the variations of flow in a cross section of water were evaluated using hydraulic conductivity based on differential pressure. Under No compaction, a flow occurred throughout the soil column at the beginning of the water passage, but a non-uniform flow emerged as the liquid-solid ratio increased; under Compaction, a non-uniform flow was formed from the beginning of water passage. The leaching behavior of the major components and toxic elements from soil with high adsorptive properties was significantly affected by the filling method up to a liquid-solid ratio of 2. These results suggest that the non-uniform flow formed in the column percolation test has a significant impact on the leaching of soil components.

Swirling motion is an essential phenomenon that significantly influences numerous biological processes, such as the mixing of molecular components within living cells, nutrient transport, the structural changes of the cytoskeletons of contractile cells and the rearrangement of multicellular systems caused by collective cell migration. The dynamical relationship between subcellular and supracellular rearrangements enhances cell migration and contributes to tissue homeostasis. However, the basic mechanisms that drive swirling motion in biological contexts remain a matter of ongoing inquiry.

Microplastics (MPs) exposure to environmental conditions results in weathering, alters their physicochemical properties, and subsequently influences their mobility in aquatic systems. This study aims to investigate the interrelated roles of MP type and weathering conditions on their terminal settling/rise velocities and subsequently distribution in the water column under turbulent flow to further inform sampling methodologies. Low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and ground tire rubber (GTR) were subjected to accelerated photodegradation and sedimentation processes, and biofilm was grown on LDPE and GTR MPs.

As collections of grains flow, free-surface deformations often develop. These typically suggest the presence of secondary flows, smaller in magnitude than the primary motion but driving complex three-dimensional internal structures. While one can infer such behaviour from boundaries or simulations, we have not previously been able to directly observe secondary flows experimentally.

Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is utilized to assess the therapeutic efficacy of interventional therapy in liver cancer patients, offering insights into tumor blood flow changes, angiogenesis, and tumor markers.
Aim: To evaluate the use of CEUS in examining the effectiveness of interventional therapy for liver cancer, we aim to investigate its diagnostic utility for tumor perfusion patterns, microvessel density, perfusion recovery, blood flow enhancement response, and alterations in tumor markers among patients receiving interventional therapy for liver cancer.
Methods: The study involved 124 patients who underwent interventional therapy for liver cancer at Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2022 to February 2024.
