Selective removal of organic contaminants and ascorbic acid enhancement effect based on the magnetic Fe/FeS-doped carbon nanolayer.

Developing highly effective iron-based catalyst to selectively remove organic contaminants has garnered considerable attention. Herein, a magnetic Fe/FeS-doped carbon nanolayer (S-Fe@NC) was synthesized through a straightforward one-step pyrolysis method, pyrolyzing a mixture composed of 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine, trithiocyanuric acid, and FeCl·6HO. With the presence of PMS, S-Fe@NC demonstrated the ability to remove almost 100% bisphenol-A (50 μM) within 3 min, attributed to its excellent graphitization degree and high FeS/Fe content.

M-N Configuration on Boron Nitride Boosts Singlet Oxygen Generation via Peroxymonosulfate Activation for Selective Oxidation.

Singlet oxygen (O) is an essential reactive species responsible for selective oxidation of organic matter, especially in Fenton-like processes. However, due to the great limitations in synthesizing catalysts with well-defined active sites, the controllable production and practical application of O remain challenging. Herein, guided by theoretical simulations, a series of boron nitride-based single-atom catalysts (BvBN/M, M=Co, Fe, Cu, Ni and Mn) were synthesized to regulate O generation by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS).

ConvNeXt-MHC: improving MHC-peptide affinity prediction by structure-derived degenerate coding and the ConvNeXt model.

Peptide binding to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins plays a critical role in T-cell recognition and the specificity of the immune response. Experimental validation such peptides is extremely resource-intensive. As a result, accurate computational prediction of binding peptides is highly important, particularly in the context of cancer immunotherapy applications, such as the identification of neoantigens.

Separation and reutilization of heavy metal ions in wastewater assisted by p-BN adsorbent.

Extracting heavy metal ions from wastewater has significant implications for both environmental remediation and resource preservation. However, the conventional adsorbents still suffer from incomplete ion removal and low utilization efficiency of the recovered metals. Herein, we present an extraction and reutilization method assisted by porous boron nitride (p-BN) containing high-density N atoms for metal recovery with simultaneous catalyst formation.

PREDAC-CNN: predicting antigenic clusters of seasonal influenza A viruses with convolutional neural network.

Vaccination stands as the most effective and economical strategy for prevention and control of influenza. The primary target of neutralizing antibodies is the surface antigen hemagglutinin (HA). However, ongoing mutations in the HA sequence result in antigenic drift.

A polymer tethering strategy to achieve high metal loading on catalysts for Fenton reactions.

The development of heterogenous catalysts based on the synthesis of 2D carbon-supported metal nanocatalysts with high metal loading and dispersion is important. However, such practices remain challenging to develop. Here, we report a self-polymerization confinement strategy to fabricate a series of ultrafine metal embedded N-doped carbon nanosheets (M@N-C) with loadings of up to 30 wt%.

LiveRetro: Visual Analytics for Strategic Retrospect in Livestream E-Commerce.

Livestream e-commerce integrates live streaming and online shopping, allowing viewers to make purchases while watching. However, effective marketing strategies remain a challenge due to limited empirical research and subjective biases from the absence of quantitative data. Current tools fail to capture the interdependence between live performances and feedback.

Discovering hematoma-stimulated circuits for secondary brain injury after intraventricular hemorrhage by spatial transcriptome analysis.

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders and brain diseases caused by acute injuries, are important, yet challenging to study due to disease lesion locations and other complexities.

Methods: Utilizing the powerful method of spatial transcriptome analysis together with novel algorithms we developed for the study, we report here for the first time a 3D trajectory map of gene expression changes in the brain following acute neural injury using a mouse model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). IVH is a common and representative complication after various acute brain injuries with severe mortality and mobility implications.

Long-term Care Facility and its Elderly Chronic Diseases in Jishou: Insights into Underdeveloped Area of China.

Insight into the current status of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and chronic diseases in underdeveloped areas in China is scant. Using a census method to survey older adults ≥60 years old (154 older adult residents) in all LTCFs in Jishou area. The International Resident Assessment Instrument for Long-Term Care Facilities (interRAI-LTCF) was used to collect information and analyze the current status of chronic diseases among older adult residents.

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets with Fe-based nanoparticles for highly efficient degradation of antibiotics and sulfate ion enhancement effect.

Developing Fe-based catalysts with high-effective and environmentally friendly features in Fenton-like system for treating wastewater is still a challenge. Novel nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets with Fe/FeC nano-particles (Fe@NCS-900) were prepared through a simple solvent-free strategy by pyrolyzing the mixture of 2,6-diaminopyridine and ferric chloride hexahydrate under 900 °C. The Fe@NCS-900 possessed almost 100% removal efficiency and 66.

[Three-dimensional virtual dolphin treatment system for children with autism spectrum disorder].

In order to address the problem of traditional dolphin adjuvant therapy such as high cost and its limitation in time and place, this paper introduces a three-dimensional virtual dolphin adjuvant therapy system based on virtual reality technology. By adopting Oculus wearable three-dimensional display, the system combined natural human-computer interaction based on Leap Motion with high-precision gesture recognition and cognitive training, and achieved immersive three-dimensional interactive game for child rehabilitation training purposes. The experimental data showed that the system can effectively improve the cognitive and social abilities of those children with autism spectrum disorder, providing a useful exploration for the rehabilitation of those children.

[Effects on biomechanical properties of hip articular cartilage degeneration following the femoral neck fracture in rabbits].

Osteotomies were performed through post-lateral approach under the base of femoral neck on 60 New Zealand white rabbits. The changes of the thickness and biomechanical properties of acetabular cartilage following the cartilage degeneration and the relationship to the postoperative time 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 weeks later were measured respectively. The cartilage specimens were harvested and measured by the automated creep indentation apparatus to obtain the thickness and biomechanical properties.
