Variable domain mutational analysis to probe the molecular mechanisms of high viscosity of an IgG1 antibody by Jing Dai, Saeed Izadi, Jonathan Zarzar, Patrick Wu, Angela Oh, Paul J. Carter

“…However, the small volume limit (typically [Formula: see text]2 mL) for subcutaneous delivery often necessitates antibody formulations at high concentrations (commonly ≥100 mg/mL), which may lead to physicochemical problems. …”

Study on the drying characteristics of green pellets of ultrafine iron ore concentrate by Wen B.-L., Zhang X.-P., Liu D.-L., Li J.-X., Sun X.-D., Yang J.-L.

“…The moisture diffusion coefficient and convective mass transfer coefficient increased with rising temperature and air velocity, following the order of Deff > Dcal > D*eff as determined by the Weibull distribution function, Dincer model, and Fick’s second law. Additionally, the activation energy value of ultrafine iron ore concentrate for drying derived from the Arrhenius formula was 4515.60 J/(mol·K). …”

Body Composition in Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: Correlation with Disease Severity and Duration by Dawesh P. Yadav, Saurabh Kedia, Kumble Seetharama Madhusudhan, Sawan Bopanna, Sandeep Goyal, Saransh Jain, Naval K. Vikram, Raju Sharma, Govind K. Makharia, Vineet Ahuja

“…In both UC/CD, disease severity was associated with nonsignificant decline in BMI (UC: 22.1±4.9 versus 20.2±3.2 versus 19.9±3.2 kg/m2, p=0.23; CD: 22.1±4.2 versus 19.9±2.3 versus 19.7±4.2 kg/m2, p=0.18) and fat mass (UC: 10.9±8.9 versus 8.1±5.9 versus 5.7±3.6 kg, p=0.14; CD: 11.2±7 versus 7.9±4.4 versus 7.2±5.9 kg, p=0.16), and disease duration was associated with significant decline in FFMI (p<0.05). …”

Desulfurization of molten steel with molten slag using the electrochemical method by Wu X.-Q., Xu J.-F., Gu P.-W., Zhang J.-Y.

“…The transfer coefficient of sulfur in molten slag under electromigration conditions was approximately 2.09×10-5 m·s-1·V-1. The desulfurization of molten steel with molten slag can be promoted by increasing the applied voltage, reducing the partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen, strengthening the stirring intensity of the reaction system, and optimizing the composition and properties of the slag.…”

Análise das políticas de formação e desenvolvimento de coleções das bibliotecas de universidades federais brasileiras: ênfase na alocação de recursos financeiros destinados à compr... by Raymundo das Neves Machado

“…Em nenhum dos documentos analisados foi mencionado o uso de fórmulas matemáticas e/ou estatísticas para realizar alocação de recursos financeiros destinados à compra de materiais informacionais, percebendo-se a existência de três principais situações, a saber: documentos que não mencionam a alocação de recursos financeiros destinados à compra de materiais informacionais; documentos que abordam, de forma generalizada, a alocação de recursos financeiros destinados à compra de materiais informacionais; documentos que evidenciam que a alocação de recursos financeiros não é atribuição da biblioteca. …”
