To compare fluid and ion changes during cold (25 degrees C) and thermoneutral head-out immersion (HOI) 9 men were studied under 4 resting conditions lasting 3 h: 2 in 35 degrees C and 2 in 25 degrees C water. At each temperature, subjects consumed 250 ml of either water or a 7% glucose polymer solution every hour to evaluate possible differences in fluid composition. Plasma volume increased by 3.9% for 35 degrees C and decreased by 9.7% for 25 degrees C HOI after 3 h. Urine flow increased significantly during HOI, but there were no differences between water temperatures (35 degrees C: 8.37 +/- 0.44; 25 degrees C: 9.55 +/- 0.57 ml.min-1). Free water clearance and urinary sodium excretion were also elevated during HOI, but water temperature did not alter the magnitude of the response. No HOI-induced kaliuresis was noted. Finally, there was a significant cold-induced increase in serum potassium and sodium, but this reflected largely the decrease in plasma volume. In sum, differences in water temperature seemed to have minimal influence on fluid and cation changes, an indication that immersion is the primary stimulus. Whether greater differences would be noted with colder water remains to be determined.

Temperature affects both the thermodynamics of intermediate adsorption and the kinetics of elementary reactions. Despite its extensive study in thermocatalysis, temperature effect is typically overlooked in electrocatalysis. This study investigates how electrolyte temperature influences CO electroreduction over Cu catalysts.

Background: The current synthetic strategies for carbon dots (CDs) are usually time-consuming, rely on complicated processes, and need high temperatures and energy. Recent studies have successfully synthesized CDs at room temperature. Unfortunately, most CDs synthesized at room temperature are obtained under harsh reaction conditions, prepared using aromatic precursors, or need a long time to generate.

Melanin with antioxidant and antibacterial properties can be used in food, cosmetics, biotechnology, and other fields, but its insolubility become a main challenge hindering for its application. In this study, water-soluble melanin produced by the novel species Streptomyces vilmorinianum YP1 was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UVvisible spectroscopy (with an absorption peak at 220nm), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The glycosyltransferase gene ORF14 was knocked out, which improved the production of water-soluble melanin by inhibiting competitive pathway.

Conductive hydrogels are an appealing class of "smart" materials with great application potential, as they combine the stimuli-responsiveness of hydrogels with the conductivity of magnetic fillers. However, fabricating multifunctional conductive hydrogels that simultaneously exhibit conductivity, self-healing, adhesiveness, and anti-freezing properties remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, we introduce here a freeze-thawing approach to develop versatile, multiresponsive composite cryogels able to preserve their features under low-temperature conditions.
