Interpretable spatial identity neural network-based epidemic prediction.

Epidemic spatial-temporal risk analysis, e.g., infectious number forecasting, is a mainstream task in the multivariate time series research field, which plays a crucial role in the public health management process.

Spatiotemporal multi-graph convolutional network-based provincial-day-level terrorism risk prediction.

Predicting terrorism risk is crucial for formulating detailed counter-strategies. However, this task is challenging mainly because the risk of the concerned potential victim is not isolated. Terrorism risk has a spatiotemporal interprovincial contagious characteristic.

Stretchable One-Dimensional Conductors for Wearable Applications.

Continuous, one-dimensional (1D) stretchable conductors have attracted significant attention for the development of wearables and soft-matter electronics. Through the use of advanced spinning, printing, and textile technologies, 1D stretchable conductors in the forms of fibers, wires, and yarns can be designed and engineered to meet the demanding requirements for different wearable applications. Several crucial parameters, such as microarchitecture, conductivity, stretchability, and scalability, play essential roles in designing and developing wearable devices and intelligent textiles.

Influence of nitrite accumulation on "Candidatus Accumulibacter" population structure and enhanced biological phosphorus removal from municipal wastewater.

A modified University of Cape Town (MUCT) process was used to treat real municipal wastewater with low carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N). To our knowledge, this is the first study where the influence of nitrite accumulation on "Candidatus Accumulibacter" clade-level population structure was investigated during nitritation establishment and destruction. Real time quantitative PCR assays were conducted using the polyphosphate kinase 1 gene (ppk1) as a genetic marker.

Integration of denitrifying phosphorus removal via nitrite pathway, simultaneous nitritation-denitritation and anammox treating carbon-limited municipal sewage.

High nutrients removal above 90% from carbon-limited municipal sewage was obtained without adding external carbon source. Achieving nitritation was a prerequisite to improve nutrients removal. Denitrifying phosphorus (P) removal using nitrite as electron acceptor was the key pathway in anoxic zone, where nitrogen removal reached above 60% and average denitrifying P removal was 88%.

Nitritation and denitrifying phosphorus removal via nitrite pathway from domestic wastewater in a continuous MUCT process.

Nitritation and denitrifying P removal under mode of nitritation and nitrification was investigated in continuous MUCT process treating domestic wastewater. Nitritation was established through short hydraulic retention time to 6 h and low dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.3-0.

Impact of nitrite on aerobic phosphorus uptake by poly-phosphate accumulating organisms in enhanced biological phosphorus removal sludges.

Impact of nitrite on aerobic phosphorus (P) uptake of poly-phosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) in three different enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems was investigated, i.e., the enriched PAOs culture fed with synthetic wastewater, the two lab-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) treating domestic wastewater for nutrient removal through nitrite-pathway nitritation and nitrate-pathway nitrification, respectively.

[Denitrifying phosphorus removal in a Modified University of Cape Town (MUCT) process treating domestic wastewater under nitrification and nitritation].

The performance of denitrifying phosphorus removal under nitrification and nitritation was investigated in a lab-scale Modified University of Cape Town (MUCT) process treating real domestic wastewater with low C/N ratio. The experimental results of 180 days showed that nitritation was achieved at short hydraulic retention time (HRT) and low dissolved oxygen (DO) of 0.3-0.
