The simultaneous removal of NO and HS at temperature stress (25-10°C) is evaluated here. An expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor was run over 120days at N/S molar ratio of 0.35 (for S production) under constant sulfur loading rate of 0.4kgS/md. The simultaneous removal of NO and HS, was achieved at applied conditions. Average HS-S removal varied from 98 (25°C) to 89.2% at 10°C, with almost complete NO removal. Average S yield ranged from 83.7 at 25°C to 67% at 10°C. The temperature drop caused a decrease in granular sludge accumulated S fraction by nearly 2.5 times. Decreased temperature caused metabolic pathway change observed as higher SO production, apparently allowing the biomass to obtain more energy per HS consumed. It is hypothesized that the metabolic shift is a natural response to compensate for temperature-induced changes in energy requirements.

Unlabelled: Remains of megatheres have been known since the 18th -century and were among the first megafaunal vertebrates to be studied. While several examples of preserved integument show a thick coverage of fur for smaller ground sloths living in cold climates such as and , comparatively very little is known about megathere skin. Assuming a typical placental mammal metabolism, it was previously hypothesized that megatheres would have had little-to-no fur as they achieved giant body sizes.

High temperature (HT) stress causes male sterility, leading to reduced upland cotton yield. Previously, we identified a key gene, Casein Kinase I (GhCKI), that negatively regulates male fertility in upland cotton under HT. However, conventional genetic manipulations of GhCKI would result in male sterility, hindering its utilization in breeding programs.

Stress responses in real-world settings are less studied compared to controlled laboratory environments, limiting our understanding of their impact on cognitive performance. This study investigates the relationship between physiological stress signals and academic performance using an open-access dataset of 10 students assessed across three exam sessions (Midterm 1, Midterm 2, and Final Exam). Physiological measures, including electrodermal activity (EDA), heart rate (HR), and skin surface temperature (TEMP), along with exam grades, were analyzed using traditional hypothesis testing, bootstrap method, correlation analysis, and regression tree modeling.

Context: 3,4-Bis(3-nitrofurazan-4-yl) furoxan (DNTF) is a typical low-melting-point, high-energy-density compound that can serve as a cast carrier explosive. Therefore, understanding the safety of DNTF under different casting processes is of great significance for its efficient application. This study employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effects of temperature and pressure on the self-diffusion characteristics and mechanical sensitivity of DNTF.

Ensuring food security is one of the main challenges related to a growing global population under climate change conditions. The increasing soil salinity levels, drought, heatwaves, and late chilling severely threaten crops and often co-occur in field conditions. This work aims to provide deeper insight into the impact of single vs.
