For this editorial, we invited Zhuoheng Zhou who recently submitted his PhD thesis at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.</p><p>During my junior high school years, I was very grateful to have attended a scientific event named “<i>knowing about colours</i>”, where teachers demonstrated the light dispersion through a prism and the separation of chlorophyll green and carotenoid yellow by a piece of filter paper (until many years later that I realized it was the “<i>Eureka moment</i>” of chromatography). I was fascinated by the hidden complexity of mother nature, as much as the fact that it tends to leave us a backdoor to have a glimpse of the core. There was no such thing as attractive to a teenager as solving riddles with obscure hints scattered here and there. I later read about the biography of Antoine Lavoisier and his illumination on the essence of combustion [<span>1</span>]. The profound impact of his quantitative and analytical thinking on modern chemistry research made me realize that analytical science is <i>de facto</i> pro-science, the philosophies, methodologies and techniques it comprises are primers for any scientific research activities. To understand something, you have to “see” or “feel” it first.</p><p>I also owe my special thanks to Professor Bo Zhang at Xiamen University for hosting me as a research trainee during the summer of my second bachelor's year. This was the first time I had a chance to step on the floor of a research lab and to have a flavour of modern analytical instruments (mainly chromatographs, electrophoresis apparatus and spectrometers). Despite my “greenness”, I was still assigned to a small project on developing a fast reverse-phase chromatographic method as the second-separation dimension in a two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) set-up, following a first-dimension strong cation-exchange separation, for intact protein profiling in velvet antler (a constituent of traditional Chinese medicines). The trainee program had a very generous deadline which permitted me to start with extensive exploratory scouting runs (a nicer way to say “trial-and-error”) and to get myself familiarized with various column chemistries and separation conditions (although in a rather primitive and intuitive way). I remember vividly the goose bumps that I had when I saw my first chromatogram on the screen with five distinctive peaks, only five minutes after I manually injected some sort of colourless, transparent, and homogeneous liquid that a senior prepared for me. The joy of knowing the supposedly unknown (more like finishing the last chapter of a detective fiction book) sparked my deep interest in the world of analytical science and particularly separation science up to this day.</p><p>My PhD thesis comprised of two major parts.

The outcomes suggest that the characteristics of the ZnO NPs are influenced by the concentration of the reducing agent during the synthesis process.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious illness with a high potential for global dissemination and low rates of fatality and morbidity, placing some strains on national public health systems. This research intends to benchmark a novel technique, that enables hazard assessment, based on available clinical data, and dynamically observed patient numbers while taking into account pertinent territorial and temporal mapping. Multicentre, population-based, and biostatistical strategies have been utilized to process raw/unfiltered medical survey data. The expansion of extreme value statistics from the univariate to the bivariate situation meets with numerous challenges. First, the univariate extreme value types theorem cannot be directly extended to the bivariate (2D) case,—not to mention challenges with system dimensionality higher than 2D. Assessing outbreak risks of future outbreaks in any nation/region of interest. Existing bio-statistical approaches do not always have the benefits of effectively handling large regional dimensionality and cross-correlation between various regional observations. These methods deal with temporal observations of multi-regional phenomena. Apply contemporary, novel statistical/reliability techniques directly to raw/unfiltered clinical data. The current study outlines a novel bio-system hazard assessment technique that is particularly suited for multi-regional environmental, bio, and public health systems, observed over a representative period. With the use of the Gaidai multivariate hazard assessment approach, epidemic outbreak spatiotemporal risks may be properly assessed. Based on raw/unfiltered clinical survey data, the Gaidai multivariate hazard assessment approach may be applied to a variety of public health applications. The study's primary finding was an assessment of the risks of epidemic outbreaks, along with a matching confidence range.

This environmentally friendly extraction method only applied water and ethanol as extraction solvents for these analytes from the plant matrix.

Thereafter, the analytes were withdrawn by a micro-pipette for analysis on the high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detector. Optimization was conducted using a central composite design, where three parameters were examined which involved percentage ethanol, centrifugation time and salt type. Generally, the optimized conditions for extraction were an ethanol percentage of 100% and a centrifugation time of 10 min, which yielded concentrations of 2942, 23,823 and 8881 mg kg<sup>−1</sup> for enterolactone, vitexin and coumaric acid, respectively, in the presence of a kosmotrope.

However, 12.1 kb deletion from position 44,709,089 to 44,721,236 bp in the high mobility AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) gene on chromosome 4 was identified as the structural variant causing dwarfism and altered craniofacial development in this breed. It has been documented that HMGA2 plays an important role in regulating growth and individuals with genotype HMGA2 <i>del/del</i> are fatal several days after birth. Despite the economically high value of the Netherlands dwarf rabbit, there has been no study on the genetic survey of lethal alleles in this breed in Vietnam. The aim of this study is to develop a fast and reliable method to screen the frequency of lethal alleles of HMGA2 in the South of Vietnam. Rabbit saliva was collected, and DNA extraction was followed. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with three primers was optimized and performed to detect the presence of 12.1 kb deletion within the HMGA2 sequence. Our data showed that the 12.1 kb deletion in the Netherlands dwarf rabbit population was detected by our optimized multiplex PCR. In 100 rabbit animals, 34 and 16 individuals were homozygous wild type (<i>+/+</i>) and homozygous mutant (del/del), respectively, while 50 rabbits were heterozygous. The frequency of HMGA2 lethal allele carrier was 66% (66/100 individuals). Our results indicated that we successfully developed a fast, accurate multiplex PCR to detect carrier individuals. Verification of the genotypes was followed by sequencing. We recommend implementing our multiplex PCR procedure in genetic selection for carrier and homozygous wild-type animals in the mating scheme to prevent the lethality of the rabbit offspring. Additionally, awareness should be raised among rabbit breeders to monitor the genetic makeup of the Netherlands dwarf rabbit populations.
