Colloidal Fe-V-O nanoparticles prepared as carbon nanotube (CNT) growth catalysts were precisely size-classified by fractional precipitation. Furthermore, the classification ability was improved by the fractional precipitation after ligand exchange process, which allowed us to obtain narrower size distributions of nanoparticles. CNTs were grown from the nanoparticles in order to investigate the dependence of diameter distribution of CNTs on that of nanoparticles. The results show that the diameter distribution of CNTs grown from classified nanoparticles was narrower than that of CNTs grown from as-prepared nanoparticles.

Galactomannan comes from a wide range of plant resources and has some biological activities, but its bioavailability is limited due to its large molecular weight and complex structure. In this study, three degradation methods (HO, ultrasound, and β-mannanase) combined with ethanol fractional precipitation (25 %, 50 %, and 75 %) were used to degrade and separate Gleditsia sinensis galactomannans (GSG), and the physicochemical properties and biological activities of GSG after degradation were analyzed. Comprehensive comparison indicates that HO exhibits had a better degradation effect.

Nickel-NTA affinity chromatography is the current standard method for purifying His-tagged recombinant proteins. However, this process involves repetitive tasks, can be time-consuming, and reduces protein yield. Here, we present a simple, fast, and handy method for purifying His-tagged proteins using free Ni²⁺.

This research aims to study the prolonged effects of underground mining on the ecological environment, particularly on surface soil moisture (SM) and fractional vegetation cover (FVC). Using 21 years of data (2000-2020) from the Xishan mining area, a novel quantitative relational model was developed to disentangle the effects of mining activities from those of climate, soil type, and topography. The findings reveal that climatic factors, such as precipitation and air temperature, have significant effects on SM and FVC, while soil type and topographic features are important factors affecting SM and FVC.

Global warming has recently intensified research interest in renewable polymer chemistry, with significant attention directed towards lignin nanoparticle (LNP) synthesis. Despite progress, LNP industrial application faces challenges: (1) reliance on kraft lignin from declining raw biomass processes, (2) sulfur-rich and condensed lignin use, (3) complex lignin macroparticles to LNP conversion, using harmful and toxic solvents, and, above all, (4) lack of control over the LNP production process (i.e.

As the main component of terrestrial ecosystem, vegetation plays a very important role in regional ecosystem environmental change, global carbon cycle and climate regulation. The Lower Mekong region (LMR) is at the core of Southeast Asia, its vegetation changes will affect the regional ecosystem and climate. Five countries of LMR were selected as the study area, based on MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) NDVI(Normal Difference Vegetation Index) data from 2000 to 2022, using the Sen's slope estimator, Mann-Kendall trend test and geographic detector to study the spatial and temporal variation trends and driving forces of vegetation coverage.
