This study investigated the performance of full nitration-denitration (FND) and partial nitration-denitration-anammox (PNDA) in treating a synthetic wastewater with 300 mg/L NH-N and 600 mg/L COD. It was found that approximately 40% higher total nitrogen removal was achieved via PNDA than via FND. Meanwhile, high-throughput sequencing also revealed that aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were predominant in the FND process, while facultative and even anaerobic bacteria including anammox bacteria were dominant in PNDA process. Furthermore, the mass balance on nitrogen showed that 44% of nitrogen was removed by partial nitration-denitration, while 36% via nitritation-anammox pathway in the PNDA process, with the significant saving in aeration and demand of organic carbon source. Compared to the FND process, it is obvious that the PNDA process will offer a more cost-effective alternative with easy operation for treating ammonium-rich organic wastewater.

Manganese redox-stimulated bioremediation of nitrogen wastewater is receiving increasing attention. However, the nitrogen metabolic capacity and community evolution during manganese-mediated nitrogen transformation process under continued manganese domestication conditions are ambiguous. In this study, nitrogen- metabolizing microbial consortiums were incubated with synthesized Mn-humic acid complex (Mn-HA) for one month (M1), three months (M2) and six months (M3), respectively.

In this work, experimental conditions were established to fabricate self-ordered rutile-TiO nanotube arrays, coated with a conformal anatase-TiO thin layer using atomic layer deposition. E. coli inactivation tests showed a considerable increase in photocatalytic activity using rutile-TiO nanotubes coated with anatase-TiO compared to that using single rutile or anatase TiO nanotubes only.

The extracellular matrix component periostin is a secreted protein that functions as both a cell attachment protein and an autocrine or paracrine factor that signals through the cell adhesion molecule integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5. Periostin participates in normal physiological activities such as cardiac development, but is also involved in pathophysiological processes in vascular diseases, wound repair, bone formation, and tumor development. It is of increasing interest in tumor biology because it is frequently overexpressed in a variety of epithelial carcinomas and is functionally involved in multiple steps of metastasis progression.

Designing effective antisense sequences is a formidable problem. A method for predicting efficacious antisense holds the potential to provide fundamental insight into this biophysical process. More practically, such an understanding increases the chance of successful antisense design as well as saving considerable time, money and labor.
