Abstract: A system and method are provided for harvesting target biological substances. The system includes a substrate and a first and second channel formed in the substrate. The channels longitudinally extending substantially parallel to each other. A series of gaps extend from the first channel to the second channel to create a fluid communication path passing between a series of columns with the columns being longitudinally separated by a predetermined separation distance. The system also includes a first source configured to selectively introduce into the first channel a first biological composition at a first channel flow rate and a second source configured to selectively introduce into the second channel a second biological composition at a second channel flow rate. The sources are configured to create a differential between the first and second channel flow rates to generate physiological shear rates along the second channel that are bounded within a predetermined range.

Abstract: Methods of the disclosure may include obtaining a first set of medical images at a first time point and a second set of medical images at a second time point, each set including at least two medical images. First and second algorithms may be used to calculate, respectively, first and third brain volume (BV) values at the first time point based on two or more images from the first set of medical images and second and fourth BV values at the second time point based on two or more images from the second set of medical images. A mathematical weight may be applied to at least one of the first, second, third, or fourth BV values. The first and third BV values may be averaged, and the second and fourth BV values may be averaged to determine overall BV values at the first and second time points, respectively.
Abstract: Various aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the purification antibodies by hydrophobic interaction chromatography under no-salt conditions.
Abstract: An aluminum alloy foil having a composition, including Fe: 1.2% by mass or more and 1.8% by mass or less, Si: 0.05% by mass or more and 0.15% by mass or less, Cu: 0.005% by mass or more and 0.10% by mass or less, and Mn: 0.01% by mass or less, with a remainder being Al and inevitable impurities. An average crystal grain size of the aluminum alloy foil is 20 to 30 ?m, a maximum crystal grain size/the average crystal grain size is ?3.0, a Cube orientation density is 5 or more, a Cu orientation density is 20 or less, and an R orientation density is 15 or less.

Abstract: A new integrated method to capture polluted CO2 using CaO produced from phosphogypsum calcination using sulfur as non-CO2 fuel where (1) both pollutants of phosphogypsum and CO2 are transformed into environmentally neutral or useful products such as limestone or clinker and sulfuric acid; (2) low-CO2 CaO produced from calcination of phosphogypsum with sulfur as fuel can be used to produce low-CO2 clinker that replaces the use of high-CO2 limestone as raw material; (3) the use of sulfur as fuel to calcine phosphogypsum allows the production of low-cost sulfuric acid.
