A comprehensive study of catalytic pyrolysis of antibiotic fermentation residue over red mud-Ca(OH) composites.

This study focuses on the in-situ catalytic pyrolysis of the Penicillin fermentation residue (PFR), a typical antibiotic fermentation residues (AFR), using a red mud-Ca(OH) composite (RM-xCa) to enhance syngas production, tar conversion, and desulfurization. The invesitigation explored the effects of different preparation methods, amount of CaO addition, and final pyrolysis temperature on the performance of RM-xCa composites. The RM-xCa composite prepared by the hydrothermal method with pressure exhibited higher catalytic activity due to the formation of soluble Na through cation exchange.

Exchange Bias Induced by the Spin-Glass-Like State in a Te-Rich FeGeTe van der Waals Ferromagnet.

We have experimentally investigated the mechanism of the exchange bias in 2D van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets by means of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) together with the dynamical magnetization property. The temperature dependence of the AC susceptibility with its frequency response indicates a glassy transition of the magnetic property for the Te-rich FeGeTe vdW ferromagnet. We also found that the irreversible temperature dependence in the anomalous Hall voltage follows the de Almeida-Thouless line.

In recent years, the chemical composition of CM has been gradually unraveled, and its therapeutic mechanism in treating DM, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and other related conditions has been highlighted in successive reports. However, there is no systematic study on the treatment of DM based on the chemical composition of CM.

A perylene diimide electrochemical probe with persulfate as a signal enhancer for dopamine sensing.

Dopamine (DA) is an important biomarker related to parkinsonism, schizophrenia and renal disease. Traditional electrochemical sensors for DA were based on the direct electrochemical oxidation of DA. In this paper, we report a new sensing strategy using ,'-di(trimethylaminoethyl)perylene diimide (TMPDI) as an electrochemical probe and KSO as a signal enhancer for DA detection between 0 and -0.

Efficient Thermo-Spin Conversion in van der Waals Ferromagnet FeGaTe.

Recent discovery of 2D van der Waals magnetic materials has spurred progress in developing advanced spintronic devices. A central challenge lies in enhancing the spin-conversion efficiency for building spin-logic or spin-memory devices. Here, the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects are systematically investigated to uncover significant spin-conversion effects in above-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet FeGaTe with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

Porphyrin-based Bi-MOFs with Enriched Surface Bi Active Sites for Boosting Photocatalytic CO Reduction.

The inherent challenges in using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for photocatalytic CO reduction are the combination of wide-range light harvesting, efficient charge separation and transfer as well as highly exposed catalytic active sites for CO activation and reduction. We present here a promising solution to satisfy these requirements together by modulating the crystal facet and surface atomic structure of a porphyrin-based bismuth-MOF (Bi-PMOF). The series of structural and photo-electronic characterizations together with photocatalytic CO reduction experiment collectively establish that the enriched Bi active sites on the (010) surface prefer to promote efficient charge separation and transfer as well as the activation and reduction of CO .

A receptor-like kinase SlFERL mediates immune responses of tomato to Botrytis cinerea by recognizing BcPG1 and fine-tuning MAPK signaling.

However, its functions during the interaction between fruit and necrotrophic fungal pathogens are still unclear. Combining reverse genetic approaches, physiological assays, co-immunoprecipitation, protein phosphorylation identification, and site-directed mutagenesis, we reported a tomato FER homolog SlFERL (Solanum lycopersicum FERONIA Like) involved in the immune responses to Botrytis cinerea invasion.

Evaluation of Mutton Adulteration under the Effect of Mutton Flavour Essence Using Hyperspectral Imaging Combined with Machine Learning and Sparrow Search Algorithm.

The evaluation of mutton adulteration faces new challenges because of mutton flavour essence, which achieves a similar flavour between the adulterant and mutton. Hence, methods for classifying and quantifying the adulterated mutton under the effect of mutton flavour essence, based on near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI, 1000-2500 nm) combined with machine learning (ML) and sparrow search algorithm (SSA), were proposed in this study. After spectral preprocessing via first derivative combined with multiple scattering correction (1D + MSC), classification and quantification models were established using back propagation neural network (BP), extreme learning machine (ELM) and support vector machine/regression (SVM/SVR).

Significant Modulation of Vortex Resonance Spectra in a Square-Shape Ferromagnetic Dot.

The resonance property of a magnetic vortex contained within a micron-sized square Py dot was detected using an amplitude-modulated magnetic field excitation technique. We found a significant modulation of the resonant spectra as the external magnetic field changes. The Lorentzian-like spectrum changes from a peak to a dip via a transition of anti-Lorentzian-like spectra.

Luteolin-induced activation of the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway contributes to quality maintenance and disease resistance of sweet cherry.

Redox imbalance and fungal infection are major causes for quality deterioration and postharvest decay of fruit. Therefore, it is crucial to activate intrinsic antioxidative capacity and disease responses for fruit quality maintenance. Although plant-derived flavonoids have been reported for health-promoting benefits, their roles in the maintenance of fruit quality remains largely unexplored.

Here, we show that honokiol, a polyphenolic compound obtained from Magnolia officinalis, significantly suppressed mycelial growth and reduced virulence of B.

Promotion of a quality standard for Porana sinensis Hemsl. based on the efficacy-oriented Effect-Constituent Index.

Multicompound determination for the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may often be inadequate, since these compounds may not be associated with, or fully represent, the clinical effects of TCM. Moreover, the individual contributions of each constituent to the pharmacological effect are often not considered. In China, Porana sinensis is widely used as a substitute for Erycibe sources to treat joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis.
