Horizontal subsurface constructed wetland (SSFCW) has been widely used to treat wastewater, however the capacity of SSFCW is severely confined by clogging problems which are very common during the lifespan of a SSFCW. Therefore it is of great practical significance to improve the performance of SSFCW. In this study, a new operation mode by changing the flow direction periodically was executed and the performance on the pollutants removal was studied. Three years' experimental results showed that the SSFCW with new operation mode achieved better pollutant removal efficiency compared with the performance obtained under traditional operation mode. The microorganism test showed that the reciprocating SSFCW had larger quantity microorganism which effectively prevented organic compounds accumulation. The readings of gauge glass in the traditional SSFCW rose gradually, while the water level kept stable in reciprocating one, which also reflected the severity of the clogging problem in the two wetlands. During the whole operation period, the SSFCW with reciprocating operation mode didn't have any infiltration problem, while SSFCW with traditional operation mode had visible clogging problems as a result of pollutants accumulation in the inlet zone.

Background: Ambient Mass Spectrometry (AMS) encompasses a group of techniques that have emerged as powerful strategies for direct, in-situ and high-throughput analysis, also in compliance with the principles of green analytical chemistry. Swab Touch Spray-Mass Spectrometry (Swab TS-MS) is a home-made AMS technique that involves the use of a medical swab as sampling tool and electrospray probe. To date, Swab TS-MS has been applied only for the analysis of small molecules, especially in forensic and medical fields, leaving the analysis of peptides and proteins still unexplored.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of various cleaning protocols on the bond strength of dual-cure resin cement following temporary cementation.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-two human third molars were sectioned to expose superficial dentin and divided into four groups: (1) fresh, noncontaminated dentin (control); (2) pumice cleaning; (3) pumice + sodium bicarbonate air polishing; and (4) pumice + 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) based cleaner. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were treated with noneugenol zinc oxide temporary cement, followed by their respective cleaning protocols.
