Metabarcode insights into the airborne fungal diversity in the indoor and outdoor environments in archives from Yunnan, Southwestern China.

Monitoring dynamics of airborne fungal species and controlling of harmful ones are of vital importance to conservation of cultural relics. However, the evaluation of air quality and the community structure characteristics of microorganisms, especially fungi, in the atmosphere of archives is in a stage of continuous exploration though more than 4,000 archives were constructed in China. Seventy-two air samples were collected in this study under different spatial and weather conditions from the archives of Kunming Medical University, located in the Kunming metropolitan area, Yunnan province, southwestern China.

Broad-spectrum electrochemical immunosensor based on one-step electrodeposition of AuNP-Abs and Prussian blue nanocomposite for organophosphorus pesticide detection.

Broad-spectrum antibodies can effectively recognize substances with similar structures and have broad application prospects in field rapid detection. In this study, broad-spectrum antibodies (Abs) against organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) were used as sensitive recognition elements, which could effectively recognize most OPs. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have good biocompatibility.

The Effect of Shame on Patients With Social Anxiety Disorder in Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Prior research has demonstrated the efficacy of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for social anxiety disorder (SAD). However, it is unclear how shame influences the efficacy of this treatment.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role shame played in the ICBT treatment process for participants with SAD.

Fabrication of refreshable aptasensor based on hydrophobic screen-printed carbon electrode interface.

In order to solve the problem that the sensor cannot be reused due to the passivation of the electrode surface, a refreshable electrochemical aptasensor based on a hydrophobic electrode and a magnetic nanocomposite had been developed. Therein, the hydrophobic electrode was formed by modifying a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which could avoid adsorption of molecules on the electrode surface due to its hydrophobicity. Combined with aptamer (Apt), the synthesized graphene oxide-ferroferric oxide (GO-FeO) was used as a magnetic catcher to capture specific organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), which could be removed to the working area of SPCE with a magnet for electrochemical detection.

State-of-the-Art Internet of Things in Protected Agriculture.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has tremendous success in health care, smart city, industrial production and so on. Protected agriculture is one of the fields which has broad application prospects of IoT. Protected agriculture is a mode of highly efficient development of modern agriculture that uses artificial techniques to change climatic factors such as temperature, to create environmental conditions suitable for the growth of animals and plants.
