The microfeatures of coal mine methane (CMM) hydrates, synthesized with three gas samples (CH/CH/N, G1 = 43 : 47 : 10, G2 = 60 : 30 : 10, and G3 = 74 : 16 : 10) in a self-made transparent high-pressure cell at 275.15 K and 5 MPa were investigated using Raman spectroscopy. As a discriminator, the vibrational band frequencies in the C-C regions of the recorded hydrate Raman spectra for CH show that G1∼G3 hydrates are structure I. The three principal parameters used to study the microfeatures of the model CMM hydrates, including cavity occupancies, hydrate guest compositions, and hydration numbers, were calculated. The large cavity occupancies for CH constantly decrease from 85.12 to 79.32%, while the small cavity occupancies for CH have a continuous increase from 73.75 to 96.42%. However, CH competes with CH on entering the large cavities for their large cavity occupancies of 12.79-17.31%. The cavity occupancies of N are less than 1.2%. The hydrate composition calculations show that the molar fractions of CH are the maximum. The hydration numbers range from 6.221 to 6.00. Based on the hydrate guest compositions and hydration numbers, the molecular formulas of the three CMM hydrates are presented.

Fire shapes biodiversity in many forested ecosystems, but historical management practices and anthropogenic climate change have led to larger, more severe fires that threaten many animal species where such disturbances do not occur naturally. As predators, owls can play important ecological roles in biological communities, but how changing fire regimes affect individual species and species assemblages is largely unknown. Here, we examined the impact of fire severity, history, and configuration over the past 35 years on an assemblage of six forest owl species in the Sierra Nevada, California, using ecosystem-scale passive acoustic monitoring.

This study investigated the effect of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on bone healing around implants placed in elevated sinus cavities. Forty New Zealand albino rabbits were divided into eight groups, based on the time of sacrifice (14 or 40 days) and the material used: blood clot (control), hydroxyapatite (HA) from bovine bone, HA combined with PRF, and PRF alone. Each group consisted of five animals (n = 5).

Medical and health science students are among the demographics most at risk from Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is a serious hazard to public health. The main reservoir for MRSA is the nasal cavity, and colonization of this area can raise the risk of infection and transmission in healthcare settings. This study aimed to assess the nasal carriage rate of MRSA among clinically affiliated students at Haramaya University, College of Health and Medicine Sciences, Ethiopia, from July to August 2022.

Microfluidic Bubble-Templating Multinozzle 3D Printing for Preparations of Macroporous Hydrogels with Ordered Pores of Large Size Ranges.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

November 2024

Zhejiang Provincial Engineering Center of Integrated Manufacturing Technology and Intelligent Equipment, Hangzhou City University, Hangzhou 310015, China.

A strategy for fabrication of macroporous hydrogels through 3D printing assisted by molding and multiple microfluidic bubble-templating nozzles is proposed here. This approach aims to address the challenges faced by methods for 3D printing macroporous hydrogels, such as difficulties in precisely controlling the spatial distribution of macropores, limited porosity, and low resolution of external boundaries due to the poor mechanical properties of hydrogel solutions as printing ink. In this method, fast-switching microfluidic bubble-templating nozzles of varying sizes allowed for precise control of target pore sizes over a wide range.
