A short heat treatment (HT, 90 °C-100 °C, 5 min) was applied to two-phase anaerobic digestion (TPAD) of pig manure (PM) to investigate its effect on microbial inactivation in the acidified feedstock during the methanogenic phase. The results showed that no differences in biogas production at organic loading rate (OLR) below 4.28 g volatile solid (VS)/(L·d).

Although air pollutant emissions have sharply reduced in recent years, the occurrence of PM pollution events remains an intractable environmental problem in Beijing, and regional transport is the key influence factor. However, it has been difficult to identify regional transport characteristics and the main contributors to pollution events in recent years. In this study, the relative contribution of regional transport was quantified (61.

Label-free quantitative proteomics profiles combined with biochemical analysis were applied in three spore release stages to investigate the proteome responses related to spore release inducing the quality loss of mushrooms. During the spore release, the mushrooms softened, and malondialdehyde (MDA) and total free amino acids accumulated, especially bitter amino acids. Among the 2720 identified proteins, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and other glycan degradation pathways were primarily implicated.

Article Synopsis
  • Over the last 20 years, there have been continuous advancements in the room temperature piezoelectric properties of KNN-based ceramics, but they still face issues with temperature stability compared to lead-based options.
  • Researchers developed multilayer composite ceramics using thick films with different phase transition temperatures to improve temperature stability without sacrificing piezoelectric performance.
  • The new composites showed impressive piezoelectric metrics and stability over a wide temperature range, which is attributed to factors like reduced fluctuations between layers and an enduring crystal orientation that enhances performance.

Temperature is the critical factor affecting the efficiency and cost of anaerobic digestion (AD). The current work develops a shift-temperature AD (STAD) between 35 °C and 55 °C, intending to optimise microbial community and promote substrate conversion. The experimental results showed that severe inhibition of biogas production occurred when the temperature was firstly increased stepwise from 35 °C to 50 °C, whereas no inhibition was observed at the second warming cycle.

Molecular docking (MD) is a crucial task in drug design, which predicts the position, orientation, and conformation of the ligand when it is bound to a target protein. It can be interpreted as a combinatorial optimization problem, where quantum annealing (QA) has shown a promising advantage for solving combinatorial optimization. In this work, we propose a novel quantum molecular docking (QMD) approach based on a QA-inspired algorithm.

With the intensification of the energy crisis, it is urgent to vigorously develop new environment-friendly energy storage materials. In this work, coexisting ferroelectric and relaxor-ferroelectric phases at a nanoscale were constructed in Sr(ZnNb)O (SZN)-modified (BiNa)BaTiO (BNBT) ceramics, simultaneously contributing to large polarization and breakdown electric field and giving rise to a superior energy storage performance. Herein, a high recoverable energy density (W) of 5.

Context: Conformation generation, also known as molecular unfolding (MU), is a crucial step in structure-based drug design, remaining a challenging combinatorial optimization problem. Quantum annealing (QA) has shown great potential for solving certain combinatorial optimization problems over traditional classical methods such as simulated annealing (SA). However, a recent study showed that a 2000-qubit QA hardware was still unable to outperform SA for the MU problem.

Lead is a neurotoxic contaminant that exists widely in the environment. Although lead neurotoxicity has been found to be tightly linked to gut microbiota disturbance, the effect of host metabolic disorders caused by gut microbiota disturbance on lead neurotoxicity has not been investigated. In this work, the results of new object recognition tests and Morris water maze tests showed that chronic low-dose lead exposure caused learning and memory dysfunction in mice.

Based on environmental monitoring data and meteorological observation data from 2016 to 2022 in Beijing, combined with backward trajectory clustering and potential source area contribution analysis, the characteristics, meteorological impacts, and potential source areas of ozone (O) pollution were analyzed. The results showed that there was a total of 41 O pollution processes with jumping characteristics in Beijing from 2016 to 2022, with an average of 5.9 times a year.

Quantum measurements based on mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) play crucial roles in foundational studies and quantum information processing. It is known that there exist inequivalent MUBs, but little is known about their operational distinctions, not to say experimental demonstration. In this Letter, by virtue of a simple estimation problem, we experimentally demonstrate the operational distinctions between inequivalent triples of MUBs in dimension 4 based on high-precision photonic systems.

Lead is an environmentally widespread neurotoxic pollutant. Although the neurotoxicity of lead has been found to be closely associated with metabolic disorders, the effects of short-chain fatty acids on the neurotoxicity of lead and its mechanisms have not yet been explored. In this study, the results of open field tests and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that chronic lead exposure caused learning and memory deficits and anxiety-like symptoms in mice.

Background: The lifelong administration of immunosuppressants remains the largest drawback in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). Therefore, developing alternative strategies to minimize the long-term use of immunosuppressive agents is crucial. This study investigated whether full-spectrum bright light therapy (FBLT) combined with short-term immunosuppressant therapy could prolong VCA survival in a rodent hindlimb model.
