Mass transport process, adsorption and desorption, and electrochemical reaction were analyzed to investigate the mechanism of enhancement on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode electrochemical degradation efficiency by ultrasound (US). US has considerable influences on the above steps of electrochemical oxidation. Mass transport coefficients of Ph and PA reach 2.0 x 10(-5) m/s with US, from 5.4 x 10(-6)m/s and 6.7 x 10(-6) m/s in EC process, increasing by 270% and 199%, respectively. The effect of US on adsorption and desorption has relationship with electrochemical adsorption properties of pollutants on BDD electrode surface. The adsorption amount of Ph decreases from 6.49 x 10(-10) mol/cm2 to 1.39 x 10(-10) mol/cm2, with the desorption of polymer intermediates promoted, so US makes positive effect with benefit to direct oxidation and oxidation peak current increases by 32%. For PA, the adsorption amount decreases from 1.25 x 10(-11) mol/cm2 to 3.11 x 10(-12) mol/cm2 with US, and no direct oxidation happens in US-EC process. US can improve degradation efficiency of BDD electrode and the enhancement on Ph degradation is more effective. Average electrochemical oxidation energy efficiency (AEE) of Ph increases by 287%, more than 224% of PA. This is because both direct and indirect oxidation for Ph can be enhanced by US, while for PA, direct oxidation almost disappears.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are increasingly replacing conventional communication systems due to their decentralized and dynamic nature. However, their wireless architecture makes them highly vulnerable to flooding attacks, which can disrupt communication, deplete energy resources, and degrade network performance. This study presents a novel hybrid deep learning approach integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) architectures to effectively detect and mitigate flooding attacks in MANETs.

1,4-Azaborine-based arenes are promising electroluminescent emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), offering narrow emission spectra and high quantum yields due to a multi-resonance (MR) effect. However, their practical application is constrained by their limited operational stability. This study investigates the degradation mechanism of MR-TADF molecules.

Selenium promotes plant growth and improves nutritional quality, and the role of nano-selenium in alfalfa in regulating nutritional quality is unknown. In this study, using the N labeling method, it was found that nano-selenium could promote plant nitrogen metabolism and photosynthesis by increasing the light energy capture capacity and the activities of key enzymes of the nitrogen metabolism process, leading to an increase in alfalfa nitrogen accumulation and dry matter content. The transcriptome and metabolome revealed that nano-selenium mainly affected the pathways of 'biosynthesis of amino acids', 'starch and sucrose metabolism', 'pentose and glucuronate interconversions', 'pentose phosphate pathway', and 'flavonoid biosynthesis'.

Due to the emphasis on the environmental and health issues caused by petroleum-based plastics, renewable lignocellulosic materials emerge as promising substitutes. However, their practical application remains hindered by unsatisfactory properties such as fragility and sensitivity to water. Dealing with the challenge of non-thermal processing of xylan and addressing the issue of performance degradation resulting from the hygroscopicity of materials.
