Isolation and Characterization of a Lytic Phage PaTJ Against .

is a major global threat to human health, and phage therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens. In this study, we isolated and characterized a lytic phage, PaTJ, from wastewater. PaTJ belongs to the phage family , and is featured by short latency (30 min) and large burst size (10 PFU per infected cell).

Endpoint Distribution Modeling-Based Capture Algorithm for Interfering Multi-Target.

In physical spaces, pointing interactions cannot rely on cursors, rays, or virtual hands for feedback as in virtual environments; users must rely solely on their perception and experience to capture targets. Currently, research on modeling target distribution for pointing interactions in physical space is relatively sparse. Area division is typically simplistic, and theoretical models are lacking.

Clarification of Bio-Degumming Enzymes Based on a Visual Analysis of the Hemp Roving Structure.

Hemp fibers, recognized for their breathability, specific strength, and ultraviolet resistance, are widely utilized in textile manufacturing and composite materials. Bio-degumming is a promising alternative technology to traditional chemical degumming that can be used to produce hemp fibers due to its eco-friendly nature. However, its lower efficiency has hindered its widespread adoption.

Investigating the Impact of Polymers on Clay Flocculation and Residual Oil Behaviour Using a 2.5D Model.

In the process of oilfield development, the surfactant-polymer (SP) composite system has shown significant effects in enhancing oil recovery (EOR) due to its excellent interfacial activity and viscoelastic properties. However, with the continuous increase in the volume of composite flooding injection, a decline in injection-production capacity (I/P capacity) has been observed. Through the observation of frozen core slices, it was found that during the secondary composite flooding (SCF) process, a large amount of residual oil in the form of intergranular adsorption remained in the core pores.

The Characteristics, Sources, and Health Risks of Volatile Organic Compounds in an Industrial Area of Nanjing.

This study investigates the chemical complexity and toxicity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from national petrochemical industrial parks and their effects on air quality in an industrial area of Nanjing, China. Field measurements were conducted from 1 December 2022, to 17 April 2023, focusing on VOC concentrations and speciations, diurnal variations, ozone formation potential (OFP), source identification, and associated health risks. The results revealed an average total VOC (TVOC) concentration of 15.
