A Novel Simulation Model of Shielding Performance Based on the Anisotropic Magnetic Property of Magnetic Shields.

To achieve a near-zero magnetic field environment, the use of permalloy sheets with high-performance magnetic properties is essential. However, mainstream welding processes for magnetically shielded rooms (MSRs), such as argon arc welding and laser welding, can degrade the magnetic properties of the material. Additionally, neglecting the anisotropy of permalloy sheets can introduce unpredictable errors in the evaluation of MSR performance.

Combined iron (III) chloride/sodium citrate with enzymatic hydrolysis for xylo-oligosaccharides and monosaccharides production from poplar.

Currently, the production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) from lignocelluloses by chelating system hydrolysis has not been investigated. Herein, iron (III) chloride/sodium citrate (IC/SC) chelating system hydrolysis and xylanase hydrolysis were used to produce XOS from poplar. Then, the delignification of IC/SC-hydrolyzed poplar was performed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) pretreatment to increase the accessibility of cellulase.

Delignification of switchgrass for xylo-oligosaccharides production using sorbic acid hydrolysis.

Organic acid as a class of hydrolysis catalysts shows great potential in the production of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) from lignocelluloses. However, sorbic acid (SA) hydrolysis for XOS production from lignocellulose has not been reported and it was still unclear how lignin removal affected XOS production. Herein, two factors affecting the XOS production from switchgrass by SA hydrolysis were explored: hydrolysis severity factor (Log R) and lignin removal.

Structural Properties and Hydrolysability of : The Effects of Pretreatment Methods Based on Acetic Acid and Its Combination with Sodium Sulfite or Sodium Sulfite.

The effects of CHCOOH and NaSO pretreatment on the structural properties and hydrolyzability of fast-growing were investigated. Acetic acid increased cellulose's crystallinity and hydrolyzability when combined with alkaline sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide. The cellulose content increased by 21%, the lignin content decreased by 6%, and the product showed better enzymatic digestibility.

Upstream stimulating factor1 (USF1) enhances the proliferation of glioblastoma stem cells mainly by activating the transcription of mucin13 (MUC13).

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and deadly tumors among the adults. MUC13 is a membrane bound mucin and abnormal expression of MUC13 has been identified in various tumors. However, its specific role in glioblastoma has never been explored.

Protective roles of heat stress on the neurons in hippocampal CA1 region of mice.

The effects of heat stress on the neurons in hippocampal CA1 region of brain ischemia/reperfusion were explored. The mice were pretreated with heat stress followed by ischemia/reperfusion by clipping bilateral cervical common arteries for 7 min. Mice were divided randomly into four groups as follows: (1) normal control group; (2) heat stress pretreated subsequent to ischemia/reperfusion group (HS/IR); (3) ischemia/reperfusion group (IR); and (4) heat stress group (HS).
