The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from water is a sequential oxidation reaction process, involved in transformation of multiple reaction intermediates. For photo(electro)catalytic OER, revealing the intermediates transformation kinetics is quite challenging due to its coupling with photogenerated charge dynamics. Herein, we specifically study the transformation kinetics of the OER intermediates in rationally thin hematite photoanodes through increasing the ratio between surface intermediates and photogenerated charges in bulk. We directly identify the formation and consumption kinetics of one-hole OER intermediate (Fe═O) in photoelectrochemical water oxidation using operando transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The microsecond formation kinetics of the Fe═O species are sensitively changed by the excitation mode of FeO. The subsecond consumption kinetics are closely dependent on surface Fe═O species density, demonstrating that the cooperation of Fe═O intermediates is the key to accelerating water oxidation kinetics on the FeO surface. This work provides insight into understanding and controlling water oxidation reaction kinetics on FeO surface.

Rainfall-induced landslides are a frequent geohazard for tropical regions with prevalent residual soils and year-round rainy seasons. The water infiltration into unsaturated soil can be analyzed using the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and permeability function which can be used to monitor and predict incoming landslides, showing the necessity of selecting the appropriate model parameter while fitting the SWCC model. This paper presents a set of data from six different sections of the studied slope at varying depths that are used to test the performance of three SWCC models, the van Genuchten-Mualem (vG-M), Fredlund-Xing (F-X) and Gardner (G).

Ensuring the supply of safe and high-quality drinking water can be compromised by the presence of chironomid larvae in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), which may contaminate municipal water systems through freshwater resources. Chironomids are dominant species known for their resilience to a broad range of extreme aquatic environments. This study aimed to identify the morphological characteristics and obtain genetic information of the chironomid Paratanytarsus grimmii found in the water intake source and freshwater resource of DWTPs in Korea, highlighting the potential possibility of a parthenogenetic chironomid outbreak within DWTP networks.

Short-term unloading experienced following injury or hospitalisation induces muscle atrophy and weakness. The effects of exercise following unloading have been scarcely investigated. We investigated the functional and molecular adaptations to a resistance training (RT) programme following short-term unloading.

Studies regarding geochemical partitioning and leaching behavior of Hofmeister ions, which is considered as a risk/causative factor for chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu), are scarce. Therefore, Hofmeister ions' leaching behavior of partially weathered rocks from CKDu endemic (Girandurukotte) and non-endemic (Sewanagala) areas, Sri Lanka were compared. Rock mineralogy was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction, and total ion contents were determined using alkaline and acid digestions.

This study investigates the protective effects of resveratrol (RSV) against heat stress (HS)-induced testicular injury in rats. Climate change has exacerbated heat stress, particularly affecting male fertility by impairing testicular function and sexual behavior. A total of 32 rats were allocated into four experimental groups: control, RSV control, HS control, and RSV + HS.
