Summary: The Setiu Wetland is developing into a hub for aquaculture and agriculture, raising concerns about water quality. This study utilized hydrodynamic and particle tracking models to study pollutant transport and residence time in Setiu Lagoon, finding that release location and tidal phases significantly impact residence time. River discharges and tidal flow play important roles in water renewal within the lagoon.

Summary: The performance of a transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) can be evaluated by analyzing the flow field downstream of the valve using time-resolved 3D particle tracking velocimetry. This experimental study provides a comprehensive 3D measurement of the flow field downstream of an Edwards SAPIEN 3 using the Shake-the-Box algorithm. The results show the importance of considering the flow downstream of the valve to evaluate the risk of leaflet thrombosis.

Summary: In this study, the main processes affecting the residence time of the Caloosahatchee River Estuary were identified and analyzed. The residence time showed a strong seasonality driven by the river discharge, and was influenced by wind velocity and direction. Water density gradient-induced circulation and particle buoyancy also played a role in determining the residence time. The outcomes of this study have implications for understanding residence time in other estuaries and improving water quality management.

Summary: This study investigates the residence time behavior of microparticles in a concurrent downer reactor through experiments and numerical simulations. The results show that an increase in the sheath gas velocity leads to a decrease in the peak residence time, while the maximum residence time increases. The particles' residence time distribution coincides with the size distribution of the powder. The numerical model developed in this study can effectively predict the particle residence time behavior in a concurrent downer reactor.

Summary: This study discusses the potential mechanisms of thrombus formation during the development and rupture of intracranial aneurysms, and the hemodynamic metrics associated with the risk of ischemic stroke. Using experimental methods and MRI technology, blood residence time in intracranial aneurysms was evaluated, providing a foundation for estimating residence time when high-resolution hemodynamic maps are unavailable.

Summary: The development, growth, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms are complex processes that may lead to thrombus formation. Studies have found that blood residence time is associated with the formation of intra-aneurysmal thrombi and aneurysm rupture. This research presents a method using magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate trajectory-wise and local blood residence time, providing a basis for future in vivo studies.

Summary: This research investigates the influence of estuary hydrodynamics on the residence time and transport rates of estuarine water pollution. The study finds that complex coastal morphometry can affect these mechanisms. The results show that the residual flow has a stronger control in wide and simple estuaries, while narrow channels and complex geomorphic features increase the tidal excursion. These findings are significant for the management and monitoring of particle transport and pollution dynamics in estuaries.

Summary: Previous studies have indicated the significant impact of mesoscale eddy activities on the transport and water mass properties of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF). This study investigates the effects of these eddy activities, or high-frequency flow variability (HFFV), on the residence time and pathway of the ITF. The results reveal contrasting circulation characteristics in the Sulawesi and Banda Seas, with higher HFFV in the former and minimal effects on the ITF in the latter.

Summary: The dynamic behavior of crystals in convecting fluids has significant implications for the solidification of magma bodies. Researchers have conducted numerical studies to investigate the dynamics of particle-laden convection and have developed a robust model to predict the residence time of particles. The study reveals that the particle trajectories undergo a transition from fluid tracer-like to free-fall dynamics, depending on the ratio between particle Stokes velocity and the mean amplitude of the fluid velocity. The settling rates and residence time distribution of particles differ depending on the Rayleigh numbers. The findings emphasize the importance of using three-dimensional simulations to accurately capture the flow-particle interaction in particle-laden flows.

Summary: The translation of time-dependent drug-target occupancy to extended pharmacological activity at low drug concentration relies on factors such as target vulnerability and target turnover rate. The study demonstrated a strong correlation between drug-target residence time and postantibiotic effect (PAE) following compound washout, with high target vulnerability and low target resynthesis leading to increased PAE. Moreover, hyperactivity of the fatty acid biosynthesis enzyme FabZ or sub-MIC levels of azithromycin can induce PAE by stabilizing the target enzyme ecLpxC.

Summary: In this study, a three-dimensional physical model of an industrial multi-jet combustion reactor was established and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the flow field characteristics and particle behavior in the reactor. The results show that reactor aspect ratios, central jet gas velocity, and particle size have significant effects on the flow field characteristics and particle behavior. These findings provide valuable insights for the structural regulation of nanoparticles and the design of combustion reactors.

Summary: This study examines the heat balance on the inner shelf along the US West Coast, finding that the synoptic temperature variability is mostly influenced by the across-shelf heat flux, with little variation in surface heating. The study highlights the importance of understanding the processes that control the across-shelf heat flux for predicting coastal temperatures under climate change scenarios.

Summary: The exchange between estuaries and the coastal ocean plays a vital role in influencing nutrient and phytoplankton concentrations and regulating various estuarine processes. Monitoring this exchange is challenging due to the complex flow patterns and sharp gradients in water properties. This study suggests that using three to four evenly distributed moorings can accurately capture the majority of the exchange flow, improving our ability to observe and monitor water mass exchange and transport efficiently with limited resources.
