To overcome the shortcomings of conventional ecological floating bed (CEFB) in purifying landscape water, this study constructed a functional ecological floating bed (FEFB) through the suspension of calcium peroxide (CP) and sponge iron (SI) jointly below the CEFB. The purification effect of water quality and influence of sediment were compared in control check, CEFB, and FEFB systems, which were loaded the same sediment and reclaimed water in a field experiment. Results showed that the FEFB suspended with CP and SI had evident purification effect on the quality of landscape water supplied with reclaimed water and can maintain stably the nutrient status of the water body at mesotrophic levels and low turbidity.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared balloon-expandable valves (BEV) and self-expanding valves (SEV) during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in Chinese patients with aortic stenosis.
  • Both valve types showed successful placement with similar rates of complications at discharge; however, the BEV group needed fewer additional procedures and had a higher mean transaortic gradient immediately post-operation.
  • At the 3-month follow-up, both groups maintained good outcomes, but the SEV group experienced a higher proportion of elevated transaortic gradients, suggesting the need for further research on long-term effects.

A growing number of empirical studies have revealed that diaphragmatic breathing may trigger body relaxation responses and benefit both physical and mental health. However, the specific benefits of diaphragmatic breathing on mental health remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of diaphragmatic breathing on cognition, affect, and cortisol responses to stress.
