Pore-Controllable Synthesis of Phthalic Acid-Derived Hierarchical Activated Carbon for Dilute CO Capture.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) from dilute sources is an important strategy for stabilizing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature. However, the adsorption process is extremely challenging due to the sluggish diffusion rate of dilute CO. Herein, -phthalic acid (PTA)-derived hierarchical porous activated carbon (PTA-C) with abundant micro- and mesopores was successfully prepared for dilute CO (2 vol %) capture at ambient conditions.

Early Diagnosis of Bloodstream Infections Using Serum Metabolomic Analysis.

Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) pose a great challenge to treating patients, especially those with underlying diseases, such as immunodeficiency diseases. Early diagnosis helps to direct precise empirical antibiotic administration and proper clinical management. This study carried out a serum metabolomic analysis using blood specimens sampled from patients with a suspected infection whose routine culture results were later demonstrated to be positive.

Analysis of Clinical Characteristics in 1940 Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

Background: The clinical characteristics of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) according to mortality risk has been partly explored. Further research is required in light of the latest guide update on risk stratification for APE.

Methods: We collected the data from hospitalised patients with APE.

[Dietary diversity and micronutrients adequacy among women of reproductive age in China in 2015-2017].

Objective: To describe the dietary diversity and micronutrients adequacy among women of reproductive age during 2015-2017 in China.

Methods: Data was from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2015-2017. Stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used, and 17622 women aged 15-49 years from 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities) were involved.

Regeneration Limitations of Population After Successfully Encroached on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Shrub encroachment can alter the structure and function of grassland ecosystems, leading to their degradation. Therefore, population regeneration dynamics after shrub encroachment on the influence of grassland should not be ignored. , as a pioneer species, has significantly encroached with large areas on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) due to climate change and over-grazing.
