Urease inhibitor (PPD+NBPT) and nitrification inhibitor (DMPP) were used as the inhibitor combination.

Enhancing the quasi-theoretical photocurrent density of ZnO nanorods via a lukewarm hydrothermal method.

A ∼10-μm-long one-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanorod array (NRA) vertically oriented on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate is successfully fabricated via a lukewarm hydrothermal method. The reflection of light from the rough surface of this ultralong ZnO NRA, resulting from the variation in the characteristic length of individual ZnO NRs in a tapered geometry, is largely suppressed. This in turn favors the ZnO NRA as a photoelectrode effectively harnessing UV-light for solar water splitting, as evidently manifested in the quasi-theoretical photocurrent density that reached ∼0.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ASXL1 mutations in U937 cells disrupt myeloid differentiation.

Additional sex combs-like 1 (ASXL1) is a well‑known tumor suppressor gene and epigenetic modifier. ASXL1 mutations are frequent in myeloid malignances; these mutations are risk factors for the development of myelodysplasia and also appear as small clones during normal aging. ASXL1 appears to act as an epigenetic regulator of cell survival and myeloid differentiation; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the malignant transformation of cells with ASXL1 mutations are not well defined.

[Inhibitory effect of DMPP on soil nitrification as affected by soil moisture content, pH and organic matter].

A laboratory incubation test with meadow brown soil was conducted to study the inhibitory effect of 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on soil nitrification as affected by soil moisture content (40%, 60% and 80% of the maximum field capacity), pH (4, 7 and 10), and organic matter (retained and removal). With the decrease of soil moisture content, the degradation of DMPP in soil tended to slow down, and the oxidation of soil NH4+ was more inhibited. At pH 10, more DMPP was remained in soil, and had the greatest inhibitory effect; at pH 7 and pH 4, the DMPP was lesser remained, with a smaller inhibitory effect.
