In this study, the effects of Mn(II) on the sorption and mobilization of As(V) by synthetic hematite were investigated. Our results showed that As(V) removal by hematite was evidently dependent on pH, and simultaneous addition of Mn(II) and As(V) into hematite suspension resulted in more removal of As(V) via electrostatic attraction at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 8.3. However, in Mn(II) pre-loaded system, the removal percentages of As(V) at pH 8.3 decreased by 17.0%, 20.7% and 26.7% after 24h at the aging time of 2, 12 and 36 h, respectively. The concentrations of the released As(V) after the addition of 1mM Mn(II) were 23.6, 12.9 and 7.0 μM at pH 8.5 in 2, 3 and 4 g L(-1) hematite suspension, respectively. But Ca(2+) did not show such an effect under similar experimental conditions. Abiotic oxidation of Mn(II) on hematite played an important role in As(V) mobilization. The growing thin layer of Mn(III, IV) (hydr)oxides (MnO(x)) formed on hematite would take up the sorption sites pre-occupied by As(V) and resulted in the release of the adsorbed As(V) back into solution. This study enriched our understanding on As(V) fate in the coexistence of iron oxides and Mn(II).

Quantitative analysis of As(V) in rice is of great significance for food safety and heavy metal pollution control. Here, a facile colorimetric method for As(V) detection was constructed by using immobilized acid phosphatase (ACP) in hollow metal-organic frameworks hybrid. Metalloporphyrin and gold nanoparticles modified hollow zeolite imidazole framework-8 [Au/HZIF-8@TCPP(Fe)], named AuHT, was chosen here as ACP immobilizing carrier with peroxidase-like activity.

In the present work, nitrogen-doped carbon was synthesized starting from a chitosan/urea mixture and immobilized at the surface of a bare glassy carbon electrode to detect Cd(II) ions using differential pulse-anodic stripping voltammetry method (DP-ASV). The synthesized nitrogen-doped carbon showed a significant potential for determining Cd(II) ions. Doping carbon with nitrogen atoms gives a structure with increased valence band energy, leading to acceleration of the electron transfer by creating an interaction of nitrogen's free electrons with Cd(II), which subsequently increases the peak current value.

How different stress responses by male and female plants are influenced by interactions with rhizosphere microbes remains unclear. In this study, we employed poplar as a dioecious model plant and quantified biotic associations between microorganisms to explore the relationship between microbial associations and plant adaptation. We propose a health index (HI) to comprehensively characterize the physiological characteristics and adaptive capacity of plants under stress.

Background: Myoepithelial carcinoma is a very rare yet aggressive tumor in children. Surgical intervention and local radiotherapy often lead to post-therapy complications, affecting both the aesthetic and functional quality of life in survivors. Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers offer a minimally invasive option to improve the appearance and quality of life for these patients once they are declared tumor-free.

The best layout design related to the sensor node distribution represents one among the major research questions in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It has a direct impact on WSNs' cost, detection capabilities, and monitoring quality. The optimization of several conflicting objectives, including as load balancing, coverage, cost, lifetime, connection, and energy consumption of sensor nodes, is necessary for layout optimization.
