With the accelerated urbanization and economic development in Northwest China, the efficiency of urban wastewater treatment and the importance of water quality management have become increasingly significant. This work aims to explore urban wastewater treatment and carbon reduction mechanisms in Northwest China to alleviate water resource pressure. By utilizing online monitoring data from pilot systems, it conducts an in-depth analysis of the impacts of different wastewater treatment processes on water quality parameters.

Background: Fruit size is a crucial economic trait that impacts the quality of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba), however, research in this area remains limited. This study utilized two jujube cultivars with similar genetic backgrounds but differing fruit sizes to investigate the regulatory mechanisms affecting fruit size through cytological observations, transcriptome sequencing, and heterologous overexpression.
Results: The findings reveal that variations in mesocarp cell numbers during early fruit development significantly influence final fruit size.

Wild chimpanzees drum on tree buttresses during dominance displays and travel, generating low-frequency sounds that are audible over distances of more than 1 km. Western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in the Nimba Mountains of Guinea selectively choose trees and buttresses when drumming, potentially based on their resonant properties, suggesting that these chimpanzees are optimizing their drumming signals. We investigated whether male eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) from the Waibira community in the Budongo Forest, Uganda, also show preferences in tree and buttress choice, exploring whether selectivity is a species-wide feature.

Background And Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits a propensity for early recurrence following liver resection, resulting in a bleak prognosis. At present, majority of the predictive models for the early postoperative recurrence of HCC rely on the linear assumption of the Cox Proportional Hazard (CPH) model. However, the predictive efficacy of this model is constrained by the intricate nature of clinical data.

Prunus mume tops the ten most famous flowers of China with high ornamental value, and low temperature is the main factor limiting its northward migration. Cold resistance improvement is one of the important breeding directions of Rosaceae ornamental plants, especially the Prunus mume. Here, 29 genes from P.
