N-doped CuO with the tunable Cu and Cu sites for selective CO electrochemical reduction to ethylene.

The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) to high value-added fuels or chemicals driven by the renewable energy is promising to alleviate global warming. However, the selective CO reduction to C products remains challenge. Cu-based catalyst with the specific Cu and Cu sites is important to generate C products.

Enhancement of carbon nanotubes on microalgal-fungal consortium formation and wastewater treatment.

As a promising material with an efficient light capture capability, a low amount of carbon nanotubes can affect growth and photosynthesis by regulating microalgal cells, thereby enhancing the pollutant removal efficiency in wastewater. In this study, microalgal-fungal consortia of Chlorella vulgaris and Ganoderma lucidum were developed with different types and concentrations of carbon nanotubes. The treatment effect of microalgal-fungal consortia on simulated digestate was also studied.

[Pathologic features of ulegyria in refractory epilepsy by modified anatomic hemispherectomy: a clinicopathologic study of 39 cases].

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features of the brain tissue diagnosed as ulegyria from modified anatomic hemispherectomy for refractory epilepsy.

Methods: The clinical and pathologic findings were reviewed in 39 patients who underwent modified anatomic hemispherectomy and diagnosed as ulegyria in the Epilepsy Center of Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital from 2007 to 2011.

Results: All patients including 30 males and 9 females had medically intractable seizures, and the mean age of seizure onset and disease duration were 4.
