Article Synopsis
  • - Photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs) show potential for removing micropollutants, like steroid hormones, by utilizing sunlight, though effectiveness is influenced by catalyst properties and conditions.
  • - A new poly(vinylidene fluoride) nanofiber composite membrane (PVDF-BMCN) was developed, demonstrating that an increased visible-light-responsive catalyst ratio improved estradiol degradation from 20% to 75%.
  • - Optimal results were achieved with specific conditions: a removal rate of 96% at a low concentration of E2, when factors like hydraulic residence time, light intensity, and BMCN catalyst loading were properly adjusted.

The mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial inheritance are not yet clear, even though it is 100 years since the first description of non-Mendelian genetics. Here, we quantified the copy numbers of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the gametic cells of angiosperm species. We demonstrate that each egg cell from Arabidopsis thaliana, Antirrhinum majus, and Nicotiana tabacum possesses 59.

Objective: A 3D digitized visible model of human cerebrum was built to provide anatomical structure for making plans of cerebral surgical operation and realizing accurate simulation of cerebrum on computer.

Methods: Transverse sectional anatomy data of the cerebrum were chosen from the first Chinese visible human (one male and one female). Semi-automated segmentation and Photoshop software were selected to segment cerebral cortex, white matter, basal nuclei, lateral ventricle, hippocampus, etc.
