Static infusion of oak chips in wine is a common practice during wine ageing, aimed at improving sensory properties and stability of wines. The wine/chips contact required to reach the desired effect can last several weeks or months. A low-pressure continuous dynamic (LPCD) extractor in which a closed-circle, low-pressure continuous flow of wine passes through an extraction cell filled with chips, was evaluated as a tool to tune red wine properties in few hours. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the use of a LPCD extractor the effect on color, volatile compounds and sensory properties of a Primitivo wine, as well as to assess the combined effect of LPCD extractor, passive microxygenation through polyethylenetereftalate (PET) containers and exogenous tannins. Their combined effect caused a significant increase of stabilized pigments was observed, without compromising the aroma profile. LPCD extraction, passive micro-oxygenation through plastic materials and enological tannins can be considered as a low-cost, and potentially low-impact, integrated technological platform suitable to tune wine sensory properties and stability, when either traditional approaches (such as barrel aging) or other assisted extraction technologies are not applicable or preferred, even in small wineries.

The extraction of coal seams with high gas content and low permeability presents significant challenges, particularly due to the extended period required for gas extraction to meet safety standards and the inherently low extraction efficiency. Hydraulic fracturing technology, widely employed in the permeability enhancement of soft and low-permeability coal seams, serves as a key intervention. This study focuses on the high-rank raw coal from the No.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is often associated with acute high-pressure hydrocephalus. Less commonly, an acute low-pressure hydrocephalus (ALPH) variant can develop and contribute to increased morbidity. ALPH is particularly challenging to diagnose and manage, as patients present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) despite the absence of corroborating evidence from ICP measurements.

Submicron particulate matter (PM) can penetrate deeply into human tissue, posing a serious threat to human health. However, the electrostatic charge of commercial respirators is easily dissipated, making it difficult to maintain long-term filtration. Herein, a hierarchically porous filter based on nanofibers with accessible porosity and particulate-attractive surfaces, achieving significant filtration performance is developed through polarity-driven interactions.

Background: The low-pressure, hypoxic environment characteristic of high-altitude regions significantly affects the cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system functions of individuals, consequently impairing their sleep quality. Heart rate variability, a non-invasive indicator of autonomic nervous system activity and balance within the cardiovascular system, has not been thoroughly investigated in terms of its patterns during acclimatization and de-acclimatization phases for individuals traveling to and residing in high-altitude areas and its relationship with sleep stability.
Methods: Data was collected from 22 medical staff members who traveled from Chengdu to Yecheng, with measurements taken before leaving Chengdu, 1 week in Yecheng, 3 months in Yecheng, and 1 week after returning to Chengdu.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), in particular MoS, have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique properties and potential applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is generally used to synthesize 2D films of MoS. The synthesis of MoS is highly sensitive to growth parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, precursor ratio, etc.
