Here, we present a matched asymptotic expansion of the linearized Boltzmann–BGK equation that generalizes existing theories to Maxwell-type boundary conditions with arbitrary accommodation at solid surfaces. This is performed to second order in small Knudsen number for smooth solid surfaces, and holds for steady and unsteady flow at oscillatory frequencies far smaller than the molecular collision frequency. In contrast to diffuse scattering, we find that the second-order Knudsen layer functions vary as <span>(eta log ^2eta )</span> for incomplete but arbitrary accommodation at a curved surface, where <span>(eta )</span> is the dimensionless normal coordinate. A modified refined moment method is developed to numerically handle this spatial dependency.

The traditional solidifying adsorption approach failed to overcome the instability issue and produced a powder with a high dosage. Combining in-situ liquefying (poloxamer 188) and pH-modifying agents (sodium bicarbonate) was invented to address these challenges while maintaining dissolution performance. Therefore, five formulations were prepared, namely: liquid SNEDDS (L-SNEDDS), solid SNEDDS (S-SNEDDS), carbonated SNEDDS (C-SNEDDS), in-situ liquefying SNEDDS (IL-SNEDDS), and in-situ liquefying carbonated SNEDDS (IL-C-SNEDDS). Oil and cosurfactant ingredients were selected based on the solubility of the drug and poloxamer 188, respectively, while surfactant was selected based on transmittance measurement. Moreover, the prepared formulations were characterized using a Zetasizer, pH meter, thermal behavior, SEM, FTIR, PXRD, and dissolution apparatus. Finally, the stability of prepared formulations was studied to assess the impact of formulation type on drug stability. Results showed that atorvastatin calcium exhibited the highest solubility in imwitor 308 (181.4 mg/g) among tested oils. The optimized SNEDDS formulation displayed a transmittance value of 98.62%, indicating excellent emulsification with a particle size of 10.5 nm.

However, branch and stem wood with higher toughness are generally associated with longer fibres. Overall, branches showed higher MFA (microfibril angle) and lower fibre length compared to stems. We found that higher toughness in selected beech samples was associated with higher density and lower MFA. While oak also had a lower MFA, poplar had a higher MFA in high-toughness samples.

The proposed hybrid architecture improves upon conventional single-algorithm approaches by decoupling the identification process into two stages. First, the EnKF searches for the contaminant source’s location, thereby reducing the search space. Next, the SPSO estimates the initial concentration and emission time within the reduced domain. This two-stage process effectively mitigates the curse of dimensionality often encountered in standalone optimization methods. We set up two solute transport scenarios with different numbers of contaminant sources to examine the effectiveness of the algorithm and compare it with the EnKF, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and SPSO algorithms. The results show that the EnKF-SPSO algorithm can identify the contaminant characteristics more accurately without falling into a local optimum, and the average relative error is less than 1%.

Topography significantly influences soil erosion patterns, shaping how soil loss varies across landscapes. In the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), the topographic factor (LS-factor) quantifies this impact, with Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) serving as key inputs for its derivation. The soil loss over Kerala, India, is estimated using different DEMs. The study also explored two methods for deriving the LS-factor, one based on flow accumulation and another based solely on the slope length. Among the approaches tested for LS factor estimation, the slope-based method proved more effective than one incorporating flow accumulation, as the study is for a region rather than a distinct hydrologic unit. Four freely available Digital Elevation Models, ALOS, ASTER, SRTM, and Cartosat-1 were selected for the study. The study showed that the general pattern of soil erosion can be captured by using any of these DEMs despite differences in individual elevation values. The mean potential soil loss estimated for the year 2020 was 215.91 t/ha/year, 205.70 t/ha/year, 203.99 t/ha/year, and 207.97 t/ha/year when using ASTER, ALOS, SRTM, and Cartosat-1, respectively. The ASTER DEM shows a slightly higher mean value but exhibited the least uncertainty, which was confirmed by bootstrap resampling uncertainty analysis. These findings emphasize the need for careful DEM selection based on terrain characteristics, enhancing the accuracy of soil erosion assessments and informing more effective land management strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143784126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
