Explosives in soils can present environmental problems for military installations. Fine, mobile particles represent the most reactive fraction of the soil and, therefore, are expected to adsorb explosives and potentially facilitate their transport. The objective of this study was to determine the relative significance of phyllosilicate clay, organic matter, and two forms of extractable iron in ...

Structure liming aims to improve soil structure (i.e., the spatial arrangement of particles and pores) its stability against external internal forces. Effects lime application on have received considerable interest, but only a few studies investigated effects macro- mesopore networks. We used X-ray computed tomography image macropore networks (ø ≥ 0.3 mm) in columns mesopores 0.01 aggregates fr...

Dolutegravir (DTG) is approved in the United States to treat HIV-1-infected patients weighing ≥30 kg. A dispersible DTG tablet formulation was recently developed for pediatric patients. This study compares the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the dispersible tablet with that of a previously evaluated granule formulation. In this randomized, open-label, crossover study, 15 healthy adults received single...

The present work investigates mechanisms of permeability impairment as a result low-salinity fluid injection into brine-saturated porous media containing dispersible clays. We computational dynamics model at the pore-scale to simulate detachment, migration and straining fine particles in media. uses an immersed boundary method motion clay fines fluid. In addition hydrodynamic forces, we Derjagu...

Coarse-textured surface horizons are common in highly weathered southeastern US coastal plain soils. These soils have historically been managed under conventional tillage practices, but conservation tillage management practices are increasing. Although clay (<2 �m) contents are low in these surface horizons (typically <100 g kg−1), the reactive nature of this fraction tends to play a dominant r...

Soluble amyloid β-protein (Aβ) aggregates have been identified in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Dispersed Aβ aggregates in the brain parenchyma are different from soluble, membrane-associated and plaque-associated solid aggregates. They are in mixture with the extra- or intracellular fluid but can be separated from soluble proteins by ultracentrifugation. To clarify the role of dispersibl...
