In this study, a low-temperature roasting and hydrothermal methods were used to modify the fly ash resulting in two new types of adsorption materials - modified fly ash (MFA) and artificial zeolite (ZE). These modified fly ashes, as well as a natural zeolite (ZO) were applied to two types of contaminated soils to explore their effects and mechanisms on the behavior of Cd and Pb through leaching column experiments. The bioavailable of Pb, Cd, pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), organic matter, as well as the microbial community changings were detected. The results showed that, 2% ZE has a significant stabilizing effect on Cd and the bioavailable fraction contents in Guanzhong (GZ) and Hunan (HN) soils decreased by 40.5% and 53.2%, respectively. However, for Pb, the 2% MFA showed a better result than that of ZE and ZO; the contents of bioavailable Pb in HN and GZ decreased by 48.3% and 30%, respectively. Furthermore, based on the Illumina NovaSep sequencing platform, 18 soil samples of GZ and HN were sequenced for microbial communities. As compared to the control blank(CK) treatment, the abundance of soil microbial communities was significantly improved in the amended soils.

Valine Restriction Extends Survival in a Drosophila Model of Short-Chain Enoyl-CoA Hydratase 1 (ECHS1) Deficiency.

Short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase 1 deficiency (ECHS1D) is a rare genetic disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the ECHS1 gene. ECHS1D is characterised by severe neurological and physical impairment that often leads to childhood mortality. Therapies such as protein and single nutrient-restricted diets show poor efficacy, whereas the development of new treatments is hindered by the low prevalence of the disorder and a lack of model systems for treatment testing.

Wolbachia, as a widely infected intracellular symbiotic bacterium in Arthropoda, is able to manipulate the reproduction of insect hosts for facilitating their own transmission. Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common phenotype that Wolbachia induced in insect hosts where they resulted in the failure of uninfected egg hatch when fertilized with the sperm derived from Wolbachia-infected males, suggesting that the sperm are modified by Wolbachia during spermatogenesis. Although the molecular mechanisms of CI are beginning to be understood, the effects of Wolbachia on the symbiotic relationship and the proper dynamics of spermatogenesis have not yet been fully investigated.

Larvae of the black soldier fly Hermetia illucens have potential as a natural waste recycler and subsequent use as protein-rich feed for livestock. A common question about the insect-farming processes is, what about the concerns of mass escape of insects from large populations? Here, we present a binary transgenic CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate wingless strain with the potential to address this issue. We identified gonad-specific promoters in vivo and evaluated use of the two strongest promoters, nanos and exuperantia, to drive Cas9 expression.

Unlabelled: Trypanosomes have different ways of communicating with each other. While communication via quorum sensing, or by the release and uptake of extracellular vesicles, is widespread in nature, the phenomenon of flagellar fusion has only been observed in . We showed previously that a small proportion of procyclic culture forms (corresponding to insect midgut forms) can fuse their flagella and exchange cytosolic and membrane proteins.

In recent years, global climate change has caused worldwide trends in science and industry toward a focus on the development of modern technologies with reduced environmental impact, including reduced CO emissions into the atmosphere. The technology for producing asphalt mixtures (AM) at lower temperatures (WMA-warm asphalt mix) using zeolite materials for the bitumen foaming process fits perfectly into these trends. Therefore, towards the development of this technology, the research presented in this paper presents the modification process of zeolite NaP1 from fly ash with silanes of different chemical structures (TEOS, MPTS, TESPT) and their application in the foaming process of bitumen modified with polymers (PMB 45/80-55).
