Article Synopsis
- - Full-spectrum light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are now commonly used in plant factories, but their impact on dry mass allocation in strawberry runner plants remains under-researched.
- - A study with "Akihime" strawberries showed that using white LEDs resulted in better net photosynthesis and total leaf area in mother plants, leading to a 23%-30% increase in the dry mass of runner plants compared to other LED combinations.
- - The combination of red, blue, and green LEDs significantly enhanced the number of runner plants and their growth, suggesting that adjusting the light spectrum can improve strawberry propagation efficiency.
Hydrogen production from water electrolysis is severely restricted by the poor reaction kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, a series of two-dimensional (2D) composites MOF/TiCT (the MXene phase) were fabricated by electrostatically directed assembly and used as catalysts for OER. The obtained composite materials exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic properties, thanks to the ultrathin 2D/2D heterostructure with abundant active sites in Co2Ni-MOF and the high electronic conductivity of TiCT.

However, unsatisfactory stability and limited electron communication of traditional enzyme sensors seriously hinder their large-scale application. In this work, a simple and effective method is proposed to improve the stability of enzyme sensors by using sodium hyaluronate (SH) as a protective film, MXene-TiC/Glucose oxidase (GOD) as the reaction layer, and chitosan (CS) /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the adhesion layer.

- The activated sludge process, particularly with anaerobic side-stream reactors, can reduce sludge but has limitations due to low hydraulic retention time (HRT).
- The study introduced a novel process called AO-OASR, which alternates between aerobic and anaerobic conditions, leading to better sludge reduction (39.7% lower) and improved pollutant removal without harming nitrogen management.
- Enhanced microbial interactions in this system led to more effective organic matter breakdown and carbon reuse, offering a cost-effective solution to improve sludge reduction efficiency.
Objective: To investigate the predictors of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia induced by adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) and to monitor for early detection.
Patients And Methods: Hospitalized patients who were diagnosed with ADV-related hypo-phosphatemic osteomalacia were recruited and retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2016. A telephone interview was conducted at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 months after cessation of ADV.
