In this present paper the behavior of two important pharmaceutical compounds, namely: nicotinic acid (vitamin PP/B3) and para-aminobenzoic acid (vitamin B10) to the transport through a liquid membrane of chloroform containing Aliquat 336 have been studied. The influence of operational parameters such as: solute concentration in the feed phase, stripping agent concentration in the stripping phase, transport time was monitored. The assessment of the obtained results allowed establishing of optimal transport conditions as well as identification of a kinetic transport model for nicotinic acid corresponding to consecutive irreversible 1st order reactions. The maximum transport efficiency was 96% and it was obtained at a concentration of 10-4 mol/L nicotinic acid in the feed phase and a concentration of 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide in the stripping phase. The transport time necessary to achieve this efficiency was 6 h. The results obtained led to important conclusions regarding the possibility of separating these two compounds. Analytical control of the process was done spectrophotometrically. The maximum absorbance was obtained at their characteristic wavelengths, namely 262 nm for nicotinic acid and respectively 267 nm for para-aminobenzoic acid.

Indole-3-acetic acid is a growth phytohormone considered the most important representative of auxin class. This paper presents the assessment of some kinetic parameters in the process of transport of indole-3-acetic acid taking into consideration the kinetic model of consecutive irreversible first order reactions. It was pursued the influence upon the process of parameters such as: feed phase concentration, stripping phase concentration in the presence of two type carriers: tributyl phosphate (TBP) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO). Depending on these transport parameters were calculated kinetics parameters such as: pseudo-first-order apparent membrane entrance and exit rate constants, the maximum flux at the entrance and exit out of the membrane. The highest values of the transport flux is obtained in the presence of carrier trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) at the concentration in the feed phase of 10-4 mol/L indole-3-acetic acid and a concentration of 10--2mol/L NaOH in the stripping phase.

Domain adaptation (DA) has achieved a resounding success to learn a good classifier by leveraging labeled data from a source domain to adapt to an unlabeled target domain. However, in a general setting when the target domain contains classes that are never observed in the source domain, namely in Open Set Domain Adaptation (OSDA), existing DA methods failed to work because of the interference of the extra unknown classes. This is a much more challenging problem, since it can easily result in negative transfer due to the mismatch between the unknown and known classes. Existing researches are susceptible to misclassification when target domain unknown samples in the feature space distributed near the decision boundary learned from the labeled source domain. To overcome this, we propose Joint Partial Optimal Transport (JPOT), fully utilizing information of not only the labeled source domain but also the discriminative representation of unknown class in the target domain. The proposed joint discriminative prototypical compactness loss can not only achieve intra-class compactness and inter-class separability, but also estimate the mean and variance of the unknown class through backpropagation, which remains intractable for previous methods due to the blindness about the structure of the unknown classes. To our best knowledge, this is the first optimal transport model for OSDA. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed model can significantly boost the performance of open set domain adaptation on standard DA datasets.

   The removal of Anit-Inflammatory drugs, namely; Acetaminophen (ACTP), from wastewater by bulk liquid membrane (BLM) process using Aliquat 336 (QCl) as a carrier was investigated. The effects of several parameters on the extraction efficiency were studied in this research, such as the initial feed phase concentration (10-50) ppm of ACTP, stripping phase (NaCl) concentration (0.3,0.5,0.7 M), temperature (30-50oC), the volume ratio of feed phase to membrane phase (200-400ml/80ml), agitation speed of the feed phase (75-125 rpm), membrane stirring speed (0, 100, 150 rpm), carrier concentration (1, 5, 9 wt%), the pH of feed (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), and solvent type (CCl4 and n-Heptane). The study shows that high extraction efficiency for ACTP of about 97% was achieved by a bulk liquid membrane at 50 ppm initial concentration of feed; stirring speed of feed phase 130 rpm; stirring speed of membrane phase 100rpm; 0.5 M NaCl concentration; carrier concentration 1wt%; volume ratio of 200ml feed:80ml membrane; feed pH of ACTP is 6,  and 50˚C. The transport kinetics was evaluated using a kinetic model with two consecutive first-order irreversible reactions. The kinetics of (ACTP) transport by bulk liquid membrane was investigated at the best experimental conditions. The activation energy values of the extraction and stripping processes were 1.733 and 1.826 kJ.mol−1. The activation energy confirms that the transport process from solutions is controlled by diffusion.

Abstract. Knowledge of transport in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is critical for operations in the Arctic and associated emergency response applications, for example, the transport of pollutants, such as oil, as well as predicting drift associated with search and rescue operations. This paper proposes a general transport equation for the MIZ that can be used for operational purposes in the MIZ. This equation is designed to use a mean velocity of the ice and water velocity, which is weighted by the ice concentration. A key component is the introduction of a leeway coefficient for both the ocean and ice components. These leeway coefficients are determined by minimizing the velocity error between the transport model and observed drifter velocity in the MIZ. These leeway values are found to be 3 % of the wind for the water leeway and 2 % and 30° to the right of the wind for the ice leeway, which are consistent with "rule of thumb" values for surface drifters and sea ice respectively. This general transport model is compared with other transport models and the error is reduced by a factor of 2 compared with traditional transport models for 48 hour lead times. The inclusion of a leeway coefficient in the ice is the key component to reduce trajectory errors in the MIZ.
