Porous N-doped carbon material (NCM) derived from deep eutectic solvent (DES) is successfully prepared. The preparation of NCM depends mainly on heating treatment and does not demand activation and filtration. The heating process contains three steps: (1) forming a DES that consists of glucose and urea at 100 °C; (2) preparing dried precursors by microwave; (3) and carbonizing the precursor. After heating, the resulting NCM can be obtained. The as-prepared NCM exhibits high specific surface area, rich micropores and strong Lewis basicity. Accordingly, NCMs show good adsorption performance for 4-nitrophenol or methylene blue in aqueous solution and thiophenic sulfurs in the oil phase. Apparently, NCM derived from DES not only possesses a simple preparation process, but also can remove a wide spectrum of organic pollutants. Therefore, the NCM prepared here may be promising for practical application.

This study presents an advanced methodology for 3D heart reconstruction using a combination of deep learning models and computational techniques, addressing critical challenges in cardiac modeling and segmentation. A multi-dataset approach was employed, including data from the UK Biobank, MICCAI Multi-Modality Whole Heart Segmentation (MM-WHS) challenge, and clinical datasets of congenital heart disease. Preprocessing steps involved segmentation, intensity normalization, and mesh generation, while the reconstruction was performed using a blend of statistical shape modeling (SSM), graph convolutional networks (GCNs), and progressive GANs.

Objectives: Diabetes distress can negatively affect the well-being of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Voice-based (VB) technology can be used to develop inexpensive and ecological tools for managing diabetes distress. This study explored the competencies to engage with digital health services, needs and preferences of individuals with T1D or caring for a child with this condition regarding VB technology to inform the tailoring of a co-designed tool for supporting diabetes distress management.

Motivation: Skeletal muscle cells (skMCs) combine together to create long, multi-nucleated structures called myotubes. By studying the size, length, and number of nuclei in these myotubes, we can gain a deeper understanding of skeletal muscle development. However, human experimenters may often derive unreliable results owing to the unusual shape of the myotube, which causes significant measurement variability.

The tumor immune microenvironment (TiME) of human central nervous system (CNS) tumors remains to be comprehensively deciphered. Here, we employed flow cytometry and RNA sequencing analysis for a deep data-driven dissection of a diverse TiME and to uncover noncanonical immune cell types in human CNS tumors by using seven tumors from five patients. Myeloid subsets comprised classical microglia, monocyte-derived macrophages, neutrophils, and two noncanonical myeloid subsets: CD3 myeloids and CD19 myeloids.
