Spatio-temporal prediction of groundwater vulnerability based on CNN-LSTM model with self-attention mechanism: A case study in Hetao Plain, northern China.

Located in northern China, the Hetao Plain is an important agro-economic zone and population centre.

Nowadays, the groundwater vulnerability assessment (GVA) has become an essential task to identify the current status and development trend of groundwater quality.

The successive reduction of iodate to iodide driven by iron redox cycling.

Ferrous iron (Fe(II)) produced by microbial Fe(III) reduction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from aerobic Fe(II) oxidation can mediate iodate (IO) reduction and iodide (I) oxidation, respectively. Nevertheless, how Fe redox cycling under redox fluctuating conditions drives transformation of iodine species remain unclear. In this study, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 wildtype (WT) and its mutant △dmsEFAB, which lost the ability to enzymatically reduce IO, were chosen to conduct ferrihydrite/goethite/nontronite culture experiments under consecutive cycles of anoxic reduction of Fe(III) and re-oxidation of Fe(II) by O to reveal the role of Fe redox cycling in the transformation of iodine species.

Spatial distribution and hydrogeochemical processes of high iodine groundwater in the Hetao Basin, China.

To understand the genesis and spatial distribution of high iodine groundwater in the Hetao Basin, 540 groundwater samples were analyzed for the chemistry and isotope. Total iodine concentrations in groundwater range from 1.32 to 2897 μg/L, with a mean value of 159.

Increased viral tolerance mediates by antiviral RNA interference in bat cells.

Bats harbor highly virulent viruses that can infect other mammals, including humans, posing questions about their immune tolerance mechanisms. Bat cells employ multiple strategies to limit virus replication and virus-induced immunopathology, but the coexistence of bats and fatal viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the antiviral RNA interference pathway in bat cells and discover that they have an enhanced antiviral RNAi response, producing canonical viral small interfering RNAs upon Sindbis virus infection that are missing in human cells.

Endometriosis is a disease of immune dysfunction, which could be linked to microbiota.

Endometriosis, characterized by extrauterine endometrial tissue, leads to irregular bleeding and pelvic pain. Menstrual retrograde theory suggests fragments traverse fallopian tubes, causing inflammation and scar tissue. Prevalent among infertile women, risk factors include fewer pregnancies, delayed childbirth, irregular cycles, and familial predisposition.

Metagenomic and FT-ICR MS insights into the mechanism for the arsenic biogeochemical cycling in groundwater.

Arsenic (As) is a groundwater contaminant of global concern. The degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) can provide a reducing environment for As release. However, the interaction of DOM with local microbial communities and how different sources and types of DOM influence the biotransformation of As in aquifers is uncertain.

Age-Related Variations in the Population of Active Secondary Hair Follicles, Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Parameters in Cashmere Goats.

The objective of this study was to investigate age-related changes in cashmere production and the population of active secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats across different age groups as well as to explore the association between secondary hair follicle activity and oxidative stress. A total of 104 adult Inner Mongolian ewe goats, aged between 2 and 7 years old, were randomly selected as experimental subjects. Skin samples were collected in August 2020 and cashmere samples were collected in April 2021.

The Role of Reduced Graphene Oxide in Enhancing the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of a Rubber Cover Joint.

The development of high-performance rubber composites has always been a research hotspot in the field of conveyor belt manufacturing. In this work, a rubber cover joint composite made of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared using latex mixing and mechanical blending methods, with a steel wire rope conveyor belt as the research object, and the influence of the rGO content on the properties of the rubber composite is discussed. The structure and morphology characterization of the rGO/NR rubber show that the addition of rGO does not change its crystal structure, and 1.

The paracrine isthmin1 transcriptionally regulated by C/EBPβ exacerbates pulmonary vascular leakage in murine sepsis.

It is known that pulmonary vascular leakage, a key pathological feature of sepsis-induced lung injury, is largely regulated by perivascular cells. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully uncovered. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of isthmin1, a secretory protein originating from alveolar epithelium, in the pulmonary vascular leakage during sepsis and to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of isthmin1 gene transcription.

Effect of Fasted Live-Weight Gain during the Cashmere Non-Growing Period on Cashmere Production Performance and Secondary Hair Follicle Activity of Cashmere Goats.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fasted live-weight gain during the cashmere non-growing period on cashmere production performance and secondary hair follicle activity, to provide a theoretical basis for appropriate supplementary feeding of cashmere goats. Fifty Inner Mongolian cashmere goats aged 2-4 years old were randomly selected and weighed in May and September 2019, respectively. Based on fasted live-weight gain between the two weights, the experimental ewe goats were divided into two groups: 0-5.

Cerebral Lactate Participates in Hypoxia-induced Anapyrexia Through its Receptor G Protein-coupled Receptor 81.

Hypoxia-induced anapyrexia is thought to be a regulated decrease in body core temperature (T), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Recent evidence suggests that lactate, a glycolysis product, could modulate neuronal excitability through the G protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81). The present study aims to elucidate the role of central lactate and GPR81 in a rat model of hypoxia-induced anapyrexia.
