Set in the downstream riparian zone of Xin’an River Dam, this paper established a 2D transversal coupling flow and solute transport and reaction model by verification within situ groundwater level and temperature. The denitrifying methods and principles in the riparian zone from the perspective of hyporheic exchange were explored, which provided a basis for the engineering techniques for river ecological restoration. Our studies have shown that under the condition of water level fluctuation, a biological method such as adding denitrifying bacteria biomass to a fixed degree (the same below) can greatly increase the denitrifying rate (1.52 g/d) in the riparian zone; chemical methods such as adding organic carbon into the surface water or groundwater can increase the total riparian nitrate removal (8.00–8.18 g) and its efficiency (19.5–20.0%) to a great extent; hydrogeological methods such as silt cleaning of the aquifer surface or local pumping around the contaminated area can increase the total riparian nitrate removal (1.06–14.8 g) to some extent, but correspondingly reduce the denitrifying efficiency (0.95–1.4%); physical methods such as designing the bank form into gentle slope or concave shape can slightly increase the total riparian nitrate removal (0.22–0.52 g) and correspondingly improve the denitrifying efficiency (0.25–0.85%). At the application level of river ecological restoration, integrated adopting the above methods can make the riparian denitrifying effect “fast and good”.

Ginseng is a traditional Chinese medicine and has the extensive pharmacological activity. Ginsenosides are the major constituent in ginseng and have the unique biological activity and medicinal value. Ginsenosides have the good effects on antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and inhibition of the cell apoptosis. Studies have showed that the major ginsenosides could be converted into rare ginsenosides, which played a significant role in exerting pharmacological activity. However, the contents of some rare ginsenosides are very little. So it is very important to find the effective way to translate the main ginsenosides to rare ginsenosides. In order to provide the theoretical foundation for the transformation of ginsenoside in vitro, in this paper, many methods of the transformation of ginsenoside were summarized, mainly including physical methods, chemical methods, and biotransformation methods.

Gear pumps make a group of the most popular hydraulic energy generators. Research and development works concerning those units have been going on for decades, and thanks to them gear pumps feature very good operating parameters. However, even well-designed gear pumps will not work properly if the physical properties of the working fluid are incorrect. One of such properties is compressibility of the fluid, which largely depends on the amount of gas dissolved in the medium. For this reason, the aim is to reduce the amount of gas dissolved in the working medium. It can be done using both chemical and physical methods. Because chemical methods can affect the chemical composition of the working fluid, it is the physical methods that are usually used in hydraulic systems. This paper presents preliminary visualization research into the influence of an ultrasonic degassing system on the operation of a hydraulic gear pump. Apart from that, operation of such a system and its theoretical impact on the work of the gear pump is discussed Experimental study, using a high-speed camera, was carried out in order to verify the theoretical description.

In proteomics research chemical as well as physical methods are used to detect proteins subsequently to their separation. Physical methods are mostly applied after chromatography. They are either based on spectroscopy like light absorption at certain wavelengths or mass determination of peptides and their fragments with mass spectrometry. Chemical methods are used after two-dimensional electrophoresis and employ staining with organic dyes, metal chelates, fluorescent dyes, complexing with silver, or pre-labeling with fluorophores. In some cases autoradiography is still used. Since all of these techniques are very different in terms of sensitivity, their usefulness for quantitative determinations varies significantly. This review will describe the various protein detection methods applied to electrophoresis gels.
