[First Extended Anaerobic Phase Enhanced Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal by Aerobic Granular Sludge Under Intermittent Gradient Aeration].

In this study, a SBR reactor was selected to explore the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus removal by aerobic granular sludge under different initial anaerobic time using intermittent gradient aeration (decreasing dissolved oxygen concentration in each aeration section) and actual domestic wastewater with low C/N ratio as the influent matrix. The results showed that the initial anaerobic stage of intermittent gradient aeration increased from 50 min to 90 min, which increased the carbon source reserves in granular sludge. This improved delayed anaerobic condition led to the improvement of nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency of granular sludge.

Puerarin alleviates streptozotocin (STZ)-induced osteoporosis in rats through suppressing inflammation and apoptosis via HDAC1/HDAC3 signaling.

Diabetic osteoporosis is a severe public health concern in the world. Puerarin (PU) is extensively attractive due to its superior bioactivities. In the study, we found that PU protected against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced osteoporotic changes in rats.

Information Filtering via Heterogeneous Diffusion in Online Bipartite Networks.

The rapid expansion of Internet brings us overwhelming online information, which is impossible for an individual to go through all of it. Therefore, recommender systems were created to help people dig through this abundance of information. In networks composed by users and objects, recommender algorithms based on diffusion have been proven to be one of the best performing methods.
