The super-high-rate anaerobic bioreactor (SAB) possesses outstanding potential to treat concentrated wastewater. The flow patterns of SAB were investigated through tracer pulse stimulus-response technique and cold-model tests. The flow patterns were demonstrated to be analogous to plug flow at low loading rate and to completely mixed flow at super-high loading rate. Mean dead spaces of SAB caused by biomass and hydraulic behavior were 6.98 % and 21.01 %, respectively. The relationship among the hydraulic dead spaces (V(h)), the volumetric hydraulic loading rate (L) and the volumetric biogas production rate (G) was represented by: V(h)=0.7603 L+0.1627 G - 4.0620. The V(h) was greatly influenced by G over L value. The volumetric efficiency could further be improved when SAB was operated at super-high loading rate. The volume ratio of V(N) and V₁ decreased as N increased and the optimum N was 3.00 or so.

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary system. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, the compromised therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic agents, such as Oxaliplatin (OXA), remains a major clinical challenge. Thus, a combination therapy is required to enhance the OXA's therapeutic effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.

In natural environments, most rocks possess internal fissures and are often exposed to diverse external loads arising from engineering activities and ground stress, among other factors. This study aims to explore the influence of different loading rates on the mechanical properties and acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of fissured rocks and to develop an intrinsic damage model. To achieve this, prefabricated fissured rock specimens that mimic natural rocks were prepared.

The generation of radicals through photo-Fenton-like reactions demonstrates significant potential for remediating emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in complex aqueous environments. However, the excitonic effect, induced by Coulomb interactions between photoexcited electrons and holes, reduces carrier utilization efficiency in these systems. In this study, we develop Cu single-atom-loaded covalent organic frameworks (Cu/COFs) as models to modulate excitonic effects.

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) sourced from an aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process were rapidly enriched by progressively increasing ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) loads, achieving a Nitrosomonas abundance of 20.7 % and a nitrite accumulation rate exceeding 80 %. Mycelial pellets formed by Cladosporium, isolated from the same AGS system, provided a porous surface structure for the immobilization of the enriched AOB, creating mycelial pellet/AOB composites.

Multifunctional dual-layer wound dressings hold significant promise for comprehensive full-thickness wound management by closely mimicking the native skin structure and features. Herein, we employed an innovative approach utilizing electrospinning techniques to develop a dual-layer dressing comprising a microfibrous Ecoflex®-Vanillin (Ex-Vnil) top layer (TL) and a nanofibrous Soluplus®-Insulin-like growth factor-1 (Sol-IGF1) bottom layer (BL). The tensile properties of dual-layer wound dressings were within the standard range for use in skin tissue regeneration.
