Ozone-biological activated carbon (O-BAC) was studied for the advanced removal of organics from micro-polluted source water in the water supply plant P located in J City in the Yangtze Delta Region. The results show that 19.2% of the permanganate index, 10.4% of total organic carbon, and 23.0% of UV were removed by the advanced treatment of O-BAC. Eight types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), 16 types of organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs), and five types of haloacetic acids (HAAs) were detected in the source water. The total concentrations were 53.9-100.0, 6.5-41.8, and 2.5×10-1.1×10 ng·L, respectively. The advanced O-BAC treatment removed 32.5% of PAHs and 25.9% of OCPs, greatly improving the effluent of the conventional water supply process. However, HAAs were mainly removed with the conventional process, with a removal rate of 33.8%-87.0%. After the advanced treatment with O-BAC, the amount of chloroacetic acid slightly decreased, while the concentration of bromoacetic acid slightly increased.

The construction of an ecological security pattern is crucial to maintain ecosystem health and stability, with great significance for regional sustainable development. Following the research paradigm of "ecological source areas-ecological resistance surfaces-ecological corridors", based on the index framework of "sensitivity-importance-connectivity", we identified the ecological source areas, generated the ecological resistance surface through graded weighting of underlying surface factors and point of interest (POI) method, determined the ecological corridor, pinch point, and obstacle area using circuit theory, and constructed the ecological security pattern of Guizhou Pro-vince. Results showed that the areas of extremely sensitive of rocky desertification and soil erosion and the areas of extremely important areas of water resources forming, soil and water conservation and biodiversity in Guizhou Pro-vince were generally small and distributed differently, accounting for 1.

Peatlands are invaluable but threatened ecosystems that store huge amounts of organic carbon globally and emit the greenhouse gasses carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH). Trophic interactions of microbial groups essential for methanogenesis are poorly understood in such systems, despite their importance. Thus, the present study aimed at unraveling trophic interactions between fermenters and methanogens in a nitrogen-limited, subarctic, pH-neutral fen.

Magnetic particle imaging noninvasively maps the distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with high sensitivity. Since the particles are confined to the blood pool within the brain, it may be well-suited for cerebral blood volume (CBV)-based functional neuroimaging with MPI (fMPI). Here, we present a magnetic particle imaging system designed to detect the CBV modulation at the hemodynamic timescale (~5 sec) in rodents.

Unlabelled: Industrial activities of a silk dyeing factory in Thalwil, on the shore of Lake Zurich, Switzerland, caused extreme Sn contamination of lake sediments. In this study, we determine the contamination source, spread, and age using a multiproxy approach. We used X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) core scanning and further geochemical analyses to assess the contamination spreading and thickness in the sedimentary column.

Significant dehydration can increase thermoregulatory and cardiovascular strain and impair physical and cognitive performance. Despite these negative effects, there are currently no objective, non-invasive tools to monitor systemic hydration. Raman spectroscopy is an optical modality with the potential to fill this gap because it is sensitive to water, provides results quickly, and can be applied non-invasively.
