Summary: This review discusses the use of modern analytical techniques for berry authentication, indicating that chemical approaches have been the main focus of studies to date. However, other chemical, biomolecular, and isotopic methods have also shown promising results. Combinations of different approaches are increasingly used to complement each other. Continuous research in the field of food authentication is needed, especially for berries, given their importance and the evolving adulteration practices.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanisms of mineral reactions under extreme conditions, particularly silicate alteration occurring in high temperature environments. The research reveals that vitreous glasses and olivine exhibit different reactions to water vapor pressure, with water vapor promoting depolymerization and crystallization in glasses, and the formation of iron coatings in olivine when neighboring iron-rich minerals are present. Additionally, the study suggests that serpentinization of ultramafic rocks at high temperatures may not be as prevalent as previously thought in gas-dominated systems like the Early Venus surface.

Summary: Allostery is an important regulatory phenomenon in life processes and disease therapy, but studying it has been challenging due to the lack of knowledge. To address this, we created the Allosteric Database (ASD) and reviewed the four categories of data in this database and how researchers have utilized them for their studies. Several new drug targets and allosteric modulators discovered through the use of ASD are also highlighted.

Summary: The study evaluated the spoilage status of meagre caught in January and July through sensory, microbiological, 16S metabarcoding and VOCs analysis, revealing differences in shelf-life, microbial composition, and volatile profile between whole fish and fish fillets, as well as between the two seasons. Different microbial profiles and volatile compounds were found in the two seasons, with some compounds positively correlating with storage time and others showing a declining trend. The findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders to supply high-quality meagre products in the national and international market.

Summary: Recent strategies such as personalized therapy, dose adjustment, therapy monitoring, and targeted drug delivery have been adopted to improve the efficacy ratio of current medications. Increasing administered dose to reach optimal concentrations in target organs may lead to more side effects, making the design of targeted delivery systems crucial for reducing adverse reactions and ensuring necessary concentrations at the site of action. Modern analytical techniques for drug delivery system characterization are discussed in this review to provide insights for research and development.

Summary: This study investigated the multilayer structure and color palette of the Meiwu ceiling in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the Palace Museum. By utilizing advanced analytical techniques, the age, production process, and deterioration mechanism of the ceiling were inferred, and the dyes and pigments used for the printed fabric were identified. These findings are of great significance for the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage.

Summary: An investigation of sample 41647 from the Platinum Placer of Ugol'nyi Ruchei, Norilsk Cu-Ni deposit, Russia, stored in the systematic collection of the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, revealed the presence of an original stannopalladinite mineral. The mineral was re-investigated using modern analytical techniques due to controversial literature information. Stannopalladinite occurs as spherical and ovoid-shaped grains, closely intergrown with tetraferroplatinum, and exhibits specific physical, chemical, and optical properties that distinguish it from other minerals in the Pd-Sn and Pd-Cu-Sn systems.

Summary: This study developed a simple and sensitive LC/MS method for controlling a diamine compound in a pharmaceutical synthetic process. It was found that the diamine significantly adsorbed to the surface of glassware, and the addition of triethylamine in the sample diluent helped mitigate the adsorption. However, at the plant scale, the adsorption of the diamine on glassware was found to be stronger than expected.

Summary: The study in Ethiopia identified and mapped vulnerable zones for land degradation using precipitation, NDVI, LST, topography, and pedological properties. The NDVI was found to be the most significant parameter in determining land degradation vulnerability. The research utilized geospatial techniques and the AHP approach, with validation through Google Earth image and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, showing high prediction accuracy for LD vulnerability zone modeling.

Summary: This study assessed the effectiveness of water hyacinth in removing nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants from glass industry effluent using batch mode phytoremediation experiments. Response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) were used for optimization and prediction. The results showed that using 60% effluent concentration and around five plants achieved the best reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus. ANN models demonstrated superior prediction performance compared to RSM models.

Summary: In this paper, we examined the approximations to the time-fractional Kawahara equation and modified Kawahara equation using two novel techniques, the homotopy perturbation transform method and the Elzaki transform decomposition method. The adaptability and effectiveness of derivatives with fractional order to represent water waves in long wavelength regions were demonstrated through numerical data. The importance of the suggested methods was illustrated by the convergence of analytical solutions to the precise solutions, and their main advantage is the reduced computational time.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of sampling frequency and measurement errors of metabolite concentrations during batch culture on the accuracy of calculated exchange rates, as well as how this error propagates into FBA predictions of growth rates. The results showed that accurate measurements of essential amino acids with low uptake rates are crucial for FBA predictions, followed by a sufficient number of analyzed time points. High measurement accuracy and sampling frequency are essential for reliably predicting growth rate differences of cell lines.
