Sulfite-Induced Release and Oxidation of Cr(III) in Reduced Chromite Ore Processing Residue under Visible Light: The Critical Role of Fe(IV) Intermediates.

Reduced chromite ore processing residue (rCOPR) is vulnerable to the surrounding conditions in environments, which can induce the release and oxidation of Cr(III). This work found the synergistic effect of light and sulfite on destroying rCOPR stability, causing the significant release of Cr(VI), which was 4∼7 times higher than that under single factor action. In CrFe(OH)/sulfite/light system, Cr(VI) release rate could reach 11.

Transcriptomic analysis revealed ferroptosis in ducklings with splenic necrosis induced by NDRV infection.

Infection with novel duck reovirus (NDRV) results in severe splenic necrosis, leading to immunosuppression, secondary infections with other pathogens, and impairment of the immune effect of the vaccine. However, little is known about NDRV-induced spleen injury and its antagonistic mechanism on the host immune response. In this study, we conducted pathological and comparative transcriptomic analyses of NDRV-infected duck spleens.

Metallic TiN-mediated interface to boost charge transfer of bismuth vanadate toward enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation.

Surface modification of cocatalysts is one of the most efficient strategies to improve the surface charge transfer of bismuth vanadate (BVO) photoanodes. However, the interfacial recombination between BVO semiconductors and cocatalysts is seriously undervalued. Herein, metallic titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles are decorated on the surface of BVO to tune the carrier dynamics at BVO/cocatalysts interface.

Colored Radiative Cooling: from Photonic Approaches to Fluorescent Colors and Beyond.

Radiative cooling technology is gaining prominence as a sustainable solution for improving thermal comfort and reducing energy consumption associated with cooling demands. To meet diverse functional requirements such as aesthetics, switchable cooling, camouflage, and colored smart windows, color is often preferred over a white opaque appearance in the design of radiative cooling materials. Colored radiative cooling (CRC) has emerged as a prevailing technology not only for achieving a colorful appearance but also for increasing the effective solar reflectance to enhance cooling performance (through the incorporation of fluorescent materials).

Arthroscopic Repair versus Conservative Treatment for first-time Anterior Shoulder Dislocation.

To systematically compare the clinical efficacy of conservative treatment and arthroscopic one-stage repair for patients with first-time anterior dislocation of the shoulder. A retrieval and systematic review of randomized controlled studies of primary anterior shoulder dislocation with conservative versus arthroscopic repair was conducted and further pooled analysis was performed to compare the overall difference in clinical outcomes, including redislocation and revision surgery rates, shoulder function scores and related complications. Preliminary meta-analysis showed that the risk of anterior shoulder redislocation was 4.
