A finite element method was used to investigate the temperature influence on sound beams of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin. The numerical models of a dolphin, which originated from previous computed tomography (CT) scanning and physical measurement results, were used to investigate sound beam patterns of the dolphin in temperatures from 21 °C to 39 °C, in increments of 2 °C. The -3 dB beam widths across the temperatures ranged from 9.3° to 12.6°, and main beam angle ranged from 4.7° to 7.2° for these temperatures. The subsequent simulation suggested that the dolphin's sound beam patterns, side lobes in particular, were influenced by temperature.

Diffusible signal factor (DSF)-c-di-GMP-mediated strategies have been proposed as an effective regulatory approach for signal molecules in aerobic granular sludge (AGS). The increase in temperature from low to normal levels had a significant impact on AGS stability. In this study, two reactors were established to investigate the effects of different temperature rise modes (abrupt or gradual) on AGS stability.

To develop an efficient and cost-effective adsorbent for phosphate removal from water bodies, this study utilized natural red clay (RC) as a carrier. The modified red clay (MRC) was prepared through three methods: acid modification, high-temperature calcination, and metal loading. The preparation conditions were optimized, and the adsorption effects on phosphate were compared across these different modifications.

Mainstream anammox faces challenges in adapting to non-optimal temperatures and managing greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates nitrogen removal and NO emissions in attached-growth anammox reactors subjected to rapid temperature shifts (15 - 55 °C). Temperature reductions to 15 - 25 °C had minimal impact on the anammox bacterial populations, with nitrogen removal rates of 0.

The manufacturing of soy-based adhesives with high bonding strength, excellent water resistance, and exceptional environmental performance still faces difficulties. In this work, using glyoxal-urea (GU) resin, chitosan (CS), and soy protein isolate (SPI) as the primary raw materials in order to effectively mitigate the release of free formaldehyde commonly found in traditional wood-based panels. Obtaining an adhesive with high strength, excellent water resistance, and a stable cross-linking structure of GU/CS/SPI (CS represents different mass fractions of chitosan solution).
