The efficiency of CUSUM schemes for monitoring the multivariate coefficient of variation in short runs process.

Current monitoring technologies emphasize and address the issue of monitoring high-volume production processes. The high flexibility and diversity of current industrial production processes make monitoring technology for small batch processes even more important. In multivariate process monitoring, a broader applicability exists in multivariate coefficients of variation (MCV) based monitoring schemes due to the lower restriction of the process.

Transcriptomic adaptation of skeletal muscle in response to MICT and HIIT exercise modalities.

Skeletal muscle exhibits remarkable plasticity in response to diverse stimuli, with exercise serving as a potent trigger. Varied exercise modalities, including moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), induce distinct structural and functional adaptations on skeletal muscle. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing these adaptations remain poorly understood.

Lack of ALCAT1 enhances the protective effects of aerobic exercise on kidney in HFpEF mice.

Aims: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly prevalent cardiovascular disease, which is often accompanied by kidney dysfunction. Exercise has been recognized as a feasible strategy to improve renal function. The aim of this study was to investigate whether aerobic exercise (AE) could ameliorate HFpEF-induced renal injury by regulating the expression of acyl-coenzyme A: lysocardiolipin acyltransferase-1 (ALCAT1).

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping identified 46 QTL for 12 agronomic traits, including 13 major effect QTL.

Coupling ZnN Atomic Sites with Graphitic Nitrogen for Enhanced Ammonium Production via Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction.

The electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) presents a promising alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process for synthesizing ammonium (NH) under mild conditions. Supported single atoms have emerged as active catalysts for this conversion; however, the efficiency of NH production are limited by the modest activity and selectivity of these catalysts. In this study, it is demonstrated that zinc single atoms supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (ZnNCs), derived from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), possess remarkable catalytic performance for this conversion, achieving an unprecedented selectivity (exceeding 90%) for NH formation across a broad potential range (-0.

Highly Selective Ethylene/Ethane Separation in MOF Composites through Pore Contraction and Particle Size Enlargement Strategy.

The discrimination of ethylene (CH) and ethane (CH) by the precise regulation of porous materials is important and challenging. In this work, the quasi-exclusion of CH from CH is realized through a facile polymer modification and shaping method of metal-organic framework ZnAtzPO (Atz = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole). The polymer (carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC) modification and shaping of ZnAtzPO@CMC result in pore contraction and particle size enlargement, which impedes the diffusion of larger CH molecules and improves the kinetic separation of CH/CH.

Ruthenium/η-Phenoxo-Catalyzed Amination of Phenols with Amines.

Ruthenium(II) complexes are known to form η-arene complexes with benzene-containing compounds through π-coordination, a property extensively utilized to initiate reactions not typically observed with free arenes. A prime example is nucleophilic aromatic substitution, where ruthenium-complexed aryl halides undergo nucleophilic attack, allowing the direct synthesis of diverse aromatic compounds by displacing halides with nucleophiles. However, this activation relies on the electron-withdrawing effect of the Ru(II) species, as well as is hindered by the resistance of η-arenes to arene exchange.
