The cyclic electron flux (CEF) around photosystem I (PSI) was discovered in isolated chloroplasts more than six decades ago, but its quantification has been hampered by the absence of net formation of a product or net consumption of a substrate. We estimated in vivo CEF in leaves as the difference (ΔFlux) between the total electron flux through PSI (ETR1) measured by a near infrared signal, and the linear electron flux through both photosystems by optimised measurement of chlorophyll a fluorescence (LEFfl). Chlorophyll fluorescence was excited by modulated green light from a light-emitting diode at an optimal average irradiance, and the fluorescence was detected at wavelengths >710nm. In this way, LEFfl matched the gross rate of oxygen evolution multiplied by 4 (LEFO2) in broad-spectrum white actinic irradiance up to half (spinach, poplar and rice) or one third (cotton) of full sunlight irradiance. This technique of estimating CEF can be applied to leaves attached to a plant.

Polypropylene (PP) membranes have found diverse applications, such as in wastewater treatment, lithium-ion batteries, and pharmaceuticals, due to their low cost, excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. However, the intrinsic hydrophobicity of PP materials leads to membrane fouling and filtration flux reduction, which greatly hinders the applications of PP membranes. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is an effective technique for surface modification of materials because it generates a large area of low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure.

Elevated synovial expression of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) has been identified as a significant biomarker for assessing disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The upregulated expression of TREM1, induced by inflammatory mediators in infiltrating macrophages, plays a critical role in synovitis and joint destruction in RA. Our previous sequencing data linked TREM1 activation to aberrant mitophagy.

Membranes have been used as versatile tools for the separation of various natural products; however, the selective separation of structural analogs of natural products using membranes remains challenging. In this study, biocomposite membranes based on poly(ionic liquids) and different natural fibers (jute, cotton, or wool) were successfully prepared. Natural fibers can regulate the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of membranes.

We aimed to explore the possibility of realizing a beam shaping assembly (BSA) driven by a 15-kW beam of 33-MeV electrons of an electron linear accelerator (LINAC) when a boronophenylalanine is adopted as a boron carrier. Simulation calculations were performed to design two types of BSAs driven by the small LINAC. The one was an experimental BSA, and the other was a high-performance BSA.

A novel solid electrolyte sensor with considerably improved response times is presented. The new so-called eFIPEX [etched flux (Φ) probe experiment] is based on the FIPEX [flux (Φ) probe experiment] sensor applied for the measurement of molecular and atomic oxygen concentrations. A main application is the measurement of atmospheric atomic oxygen aboard sounding rockets up to altitudes of 250 km.
