Machine Learning-Assisted Sensor Based on CsPbBr@ZnO Nanocrystals for Identifying Methanol in Mixed Environments.

Methanol is a respiratory biomarker for pulmonary diseases, including COVID-19, and is a common chemical that may harm people if they are accidentally exposed to it. It is significant to effectively identify methanol in complex environments, yet few sensors can do so. In this work, the strategy of coating perovskites with metal oxides is proposed to synthesize core-shell CsPbBr@ZnO nanocrystals.

Differential responses of the sunn4 and rdn1-1 super-nodulation mutants of Medicago truncatula to elevated atmospheric CO2.

Background And Aims: Nitrogen fixation in legumes requires tight control of carbon and nitrogen balance. Thus, legumes control nodule numbers via an autoregulation mechanism. 'Autoregulation of nodulation' mutants super-nodulate are thought to be carbon-limited due to the high carbon-sink strength of excessive nodules.

Greater variation of bacterial community structure in soybean- than maize-grown Mollisol soils in responses to seven-year elevated CO and temperature.

Changes in rhizodeposits of crops under elevated CO (eCO) and elevated temperature (eT) may substantially impact on soil microbial community, which in turn affects soil carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the responses of soil bacterial community to long-term eCO and eT are not fully understood. A seven-year field experiment using open-top chambers was carried out with soybean (Glycine max L.

Elevated CO weakens the shift in bacterial community structure in response to 8-year soybean straw return in the same experiment.

A potentially important source for soil organic carbon (SOC) in the agricultural ecosystem is straw, straw return has been shown to affect soil bacterial communities. Facing global climate change, the response of bacterial communities to straw return will change at CO enrichment. In this study, we investigate the changes of bacterial communities in response to straw return (+straw) at elevated CO (eCO, 700 ppm) in a long-term field experiment of northeast China.

Elevated CO and temperature increase grain oil concentration but their impacts on grain yield differ between soybean and maize grown in a temperate region.

The increases in CO concentration and attendant temperature are likely to impact agricultural production. This study investigated the effects of elevated temperature alone and in combination with CO enrichment on grain yield and quality of soybean (Glycine max) and maize (Zea mays) grown in a Mollisol over five-year growing seasons. Plants were grown in open-top chambers with the ambient control, 2.

Improving soil nutrient availability increases carbon rhizodeposition under maize and soybean in Mollisols.

Rhizodeposited carbon (C) is an important source of soil organic C, and plays an important role in the C cycle in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. However, interactive effects of plant species and soil nutrient availability on C rhizodeposition remain unclear. This experiment examined the effect of soil nutrient availability on C rhizodeposition of C4 maize and C3 soybean with contrasting photosynthetic capacity.

Frozen cropland soil in northeast China as source of N2O and CO2 emissions.

Agricultural soils are important sources of atmospheric N2O and CO2. However, in boreal agro-ecosystems the contribution of the winter season to annual emissions of these gases has rarely been determined. In this study, soil N2O and CO2 fluxes were measured for 6 years in a corn-soybean-wheat rotation in northeast China to quantify the contribution of wintertime N2O and CO2 fluxes to annual emissions.

The key role of Shenyan Kangfu tablets, a Chinese patent medicine for diabetic nephropathy: study protocol for a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major microvascular complication with diabetes. In China, an estimated 34.7 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes have renal complications and a further 50 percent die of renal failure.

[Changes of crop yield and soil fertility under long-term fertilization and nutrients-recycling and reutilization on a black soil: IV. Soil organic carbon and its fractions].

A long-term experiment was conducted on a black soil of Northeast China to study the effects of applying chemical fertilizers and recycled organic manure (ROM) on the changes of soil organic carbon and its fractions. The results showed that from 1985 to 2004, soil total organic carbon (TOC) decreased by 7.83% in control,4.
