The evaluation was performed in a pressurized chamber (ground-based experimental facility) with participation of nine volunteered test-subjects. Linen and cotton underwear and bed-clothes were intercompared by physiological and hygienic well-being of the test-subjects Comparison was made with the help of methods of the sanitary-hygienic assessment and clinical-physiological investigations, and subjective data. Alterations in integument microflora were observed in all the test-subjects irrelative of type of textile. The extent of disbiotic shifts varied with volunteers and did not depend on type of textile. The weighted mean cutaneous and body temperatures were lower in the test-subjects provided with the linen bed-clothes and underwear. According to the clinical investigations, general condition of the test-subjects was stably good no matter type of textile.

Respiration is a vital process essential for organism survival, with most terrestrial insects relying on a sophisticated tubular tracheal network. In the current study, a gene with repetitive sequence was identified within the silkworm genome. Designated as BmMuc91C, it contains a dozen repeated motifs "PSSSYGAPX" and "GGYSSGGX" in its sequence.

Unidirectional moisture-conducting fabrics were prepared by electrospraying polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) onto three green fabric substrates, namely cotton, hemp, and modal. Experiments were conducted to examine the effects of coating thickness, coating material, and substrate material on the moisture conductivity of the fabrics. The electrospraying technique was effective in forming uniform and strongly adhered PVDF and PVC coatings on the fabric substrates, and the coating thickness and material type had a significant effect on the fabric's moisture conductivity.

Thermal and sound insulation play a vital role in today's world, and nonwoven composite structures including microfiber layers provide efficient solutions for addressing these demands. In this study, the sound and thermal insulation properties of nonwoven composite structures, including single-layer meltblown, multilayer meltblown, hydroentangled, and nanofiber nonwoven inner layers, were compared statistically by using Design Expert 13 software. The inner layer type and outer layer type of the composite structures were considered as independent variables, and thickness, bulk density, air permeability, sound absorption coefficient, and thermal resistance of composite structures were evaluated as dependent variables during statistical analyses.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the potential of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), especially poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB), for creating fine fiber nonwoven structures, with fiber diameters ranging from 2.5 µm to 20 µm through the meltblow process.
- The study identifies limitations in existing PHA fabrics, such as brittleness and low flexibility, but shows how advancements in their processing can lead to stable three-dimensional nonwoven parts.
- It also reveals that the PHA copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) demonstrates improved elongation properties and resilience compared to P3HB, especially

Rational design of effective cathode host materials is an effective way to solve the problems of serious shuttle and slow conversion of polysulfides in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). However, the redox reaction of sulfur differs from conventional "Rocking chair" type batteries and involves a cumbersome phase transition process, so a single-component catalyst cannot consistently and steadily enhance the reaction rate throughout the redox process. In this work, a hybrid composed of magnetopyrite FeS catalyst-modified with N/S-doped porous carbon spheres (FeS@NSC) is proposed as a novel sulfur host to synergistically promote the adsorption and redox catalysis conversion of polysulfides.
