Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial chemical receptors, and can recognize template molecules with a high selectivity and affinity. As "antibody mimics", MIPs have been widely studied in various fields. However, the general applicability of MIPs is limited by the type of functional monomers.

In this study, a novel phenyl-boronic acid polymeric monolith (PBAPM) in polyether ether ketone (PEEK) tube was fabricated. The inner wall of PEEK tube was modified with mussel inspired polydopamine layer to firmly bond PBAPM, so as to avoid the outflow of PBAPM from PEEK tube and improve the service life and application scope of PBAPM. The PBAPM was synthesized by initiator-free ring-opening polymerization based on our previous work.

In recent years, eukaryotic microorganisms have been widely applied to offer many solutions for everyday life and have come to play important roles in agriculture, food, health care, and the fine-chemicals industry. However, the complex genetic background and low homologous recombination efficiency have hampered the implementation of large-scale and high-throughput gene editing in many eukaryotic microorganisms. The low efficiency of homologous recombination (HR) not only makes the modification process labor-intensive but also completely precludes the application of many otherwise very useful genome editing techniques.

Terpenoids are a large class of natural compounds based on the C5 isoprene unit, with many biological effects such activity against cancer and allergies, while some also have an agreeable aroma. Consequently, they have received extensive attention in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields. With the identification and analysis of the underlying natural product synthesis pathways, current microbial-based metabolic engineering approaches have yielded new strategies for the production of highly valuable terpenoids.

This study proposes the usage of an effective potential to investigate a dissipative quantum system with rotational velocity. After gauge transformation, a Doebner- Goldin equation (DGE) that describes the dissipative quantum system with a Dirac potential is obtained. The DGE is solved based on constraint of vertical relation between the rotational velocity field and density gradient when a harmonic oscillator model is considered.
