Extraction and Purification of Flavonoids and Antiviral and Antioxidant Activities of <i>Polygonum perfoliatum</i> L. by Chan Zhao, Jian Xu, Yao Liu, Peng Xu, Jin Yi, Lin Feng, Yanyan Miao, Yongping Zhang

“…Purification was then carried out using D101 macroporous resin to obtain a flavonoid purity of 43.00 ± 2.55%, which was 3.38 times higher than that of the crude extract (12.74 ± 1.04%). Further purification was carried out using a 1:9 hybrid column of macroporous resin and polyamide, and the purity of flavonoids was enhanced to 59.02 ± 2.23%, which is 1.37 times higher than that of the macroporous resin purifier (43.00 ± 2.55%) and 4.63 times higher than that of the crude extract (12.74 ± 1.04%). …”

Simulation of β-induced Alfvén eigenmode instabilities and mode transition for HL-3 hybrid scenario by Yunpeng Zou, Vincent S Chan, Yasushi Todo, Ruirui Ma, Miao Xue, Xiaoran Zhang, Yiren Zhu, Wei Chen

“…A nonlinear simulation with multiple toroidal mode numbers indicates that the n = 2 β -induced AE (BAE) is excited initially in the linear stage and the n = 1 FB mode has the highest nonlinear saturation level. The EP distribution is modified only slightly in both real and velocity space from its initial state because of a narrow mode structure near the axis. …”
