The platelet shape analysis showed that longer periods of post-stenotic flow increased the surface coverage fraction of ellipsoidal platelet population and decreased the surface coverage fraction of fully spread platelets on fibrinogen for both transiently elevated upstream wall shear rates.This study investigated - for the first time - the simultaneous degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-xylene (BTEX) by persulfate (PS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated by asphaltenes (Asph) under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Advantageous properties such as high thermal stability, low production cost and extensive availability make asphaltenes as an appealing carbonaceous material for heterogeneous catalysis. The application of asphaltenes in PS/US increased the degradation of BTEXs from 31%, 34%, 35%, 32%-78%, 94%, 98% and 98%, while the removal of these compounds in PMS/US system was improved from 26%, 27%, 24%, 20%-76%, 91%, 97%, 97%, respectively. PS and PMS activation followed a typical sulfate-radical based advanced oxidation processes. In terms of activation of PS and PMS, the particles of asphaltenes intensified formation of reactive radicals by creating additional centers of cavitational events. Moreover, owing to π-π stacking interaction between asphaltenes and sp2-hybridized systems of BTEX, the contaminants undergo adsorption on the surface of asphaltenes and subsequent oxidation by formed radicals. The radical route of BTEX degradation in both PS/US/Asph and PMS/US/Asph systems was mainly contributed by sulfate (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and coexisting superoxide radical anions (O2•-) played a minor role.Background The widely used in vitro invasion assays for head and neck squamous cell car
