Study on the Diffusion Law of Heavy Gas Leakage in Complex Scenarios Based on Scaled-Down Experiments.

Isolation and characterization of intestinal bacteria associated with cellulose degradation in grasshoppers (Orthoptera).

Insect gut bacteria play an essential role in the nutritional metabolism, growth, and development of insects. Grasshoppers (Orthoptera) are cellulose-rich plant-feeding pests. Although the biological potential of grasshopper gut microorganisms to assist cellulose decomposition is well established, microbial resources for efficient degradation of cellulose biomass are still scarce and need to be developed.

The effect of intrinsic strain on the thermal expansion behavior of Janus MoSSe nanotubes: a molecular dynamic simulation.

In this study, we conducted molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the thermal expansion behavior of Janus MoSSe nanotubes. We focused on understanding how the intrinsic strain in these nanotubes affects their thermal expansion coefficient (TEC). Interestingly, we found that Janus MoSSe nanotubes with sulfur (S) on the outer surface (MoSeS) exhibit a different intrinsic strain compared to those with selenium (Se) on the outer surface (MoSSe).

An updated meta-analysis investigating the association between DNMTs gene polymorphism andgastric cancer risk.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a prominent global health issue, as it ranks as the fifth most prevalent type of cancer and the fourth most significant cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although H. pylori is known to play a role in the development of GC, genetic factors also play a role in its onset and progression.

Multifunctional xyloglucan-containing electrospun nanofibrous dressings for accelerating infected wound healing.

Preventing wound infection is a major challenge in biomedicine. Conventional wound dressings often have poor moisturizing and antimicrobial properties unfavorable for wound healing. In this study, we prepared a multifunctional electrospun nanofiber dressing (PCQX-M) containing xyloglucan, quaternized chitosan, Polyvinyl alcohol, and collagen.

Equal-Material Manufacturing of a Thermoplastic Melt-Cast Explosive Using Thermal-Pressure Coupling Solidification Treatment Technology.

To eliminate internal defects of grains developed during melt-cast charging, the formation mechanism and the trend of crystal morphology of internal defects of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and 2,4-dinitroanisole-based melt-cast explosives under different process conditions were simulated. The effects of solidification treatment on melt-cast explosive molding quality were investigated by combining pressurized feeding, head insulation, and water bath cooling. The single pressurized treatment technology results showed that grains were exposed to layer-by-layer solidification from outside to inside, resulting in V-shaped shrink areas of the contract cavity in the core.

We successfully found the most potential , which contains three trifluoromethyl substituents and exhibits the best anti-tumour and anti-inflammatory activities.

Removal of cadmium from wastewater by magnetic zeolite synthesized from natural, low-grade molybdenum.

Zeolite has a high adsorption capacity for heavy metals, but it is difficult to separate from the medium because of its small particle size. In this study, magnetic zeolite was synthesized from natural, low-grade molybdenum ore by adding nano ferroferric oxide (saturation magnetization 83.43 emu/g) directly in the hydrothermal synthesis process, which was used to adsorb cadmium from wastewater.
