Endogenous denitrification (ED) can make full use of the carbon sources and avoid replenishment of it. However, strengthening the storage of intracellular carbon sources is an important factor in improving ED efficiency. In this study, employed batch experiments using real domestic wastewater in the anaerobic/oxic (A/O) process. The anaerobic and oxic processes were run for 4 h under ambient conditions with the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the oxic stage controlled at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0 mg/L, respectively. The results showed that the content of poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA) reached its peak at 60 min (1.25 mmolC/L). And with DO concentrations of 1.5 mg/L, the contents of glycogen (Gly) were 27.74 mmolC/L. Subsequently, the AOA-SBR was established to investigate its effect on the long-term nitrogen removal performance of domestic wastewater by optimizing the anaerobic time and DO concentrations. The results showed that at an anaerobic time of 60 min and DO concentration of 1.5 mg/L, the storage of the intracellular carbon sources was highest and the total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency increased to 82.12%. In addition, Candidatus Competibacter dominated gradually in the system as the strategy was optimized.

The construction of coupled electrolysis systems utilizing renewable energy sources for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction and sulfion oxidation reactions (NORR and SOR), is considered a promising approach for environmental remediation, ammonia production, and sulfur recovery. Here, a simple chemical dealloying method is reported to fabricate a hierarchical porous multi-metallic spinel MFeO (M═Ni, Co, Fe, Mn) dual-functional electrocatalysts consisting of Mn-doped porous NiFeO/CoFeO heterostructure networks and Ni/Co/Mn co-doped FeO nanosheet networks. The excellent NORR with high NH Faradaic efficiency of 95.

Human primary (hpBMEC) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived brain microvascular endothelial-like cells (hiBMEC) are interchangeably used in blood-brain barrier models to study neurological diseases and drug delivery. Both hpBMEC and hiBMEC use glutamine as a source of carbon and nitrogen to produce metabolites and build proteins essential to cell function and communication. We used metabolomic, transcriptomic, and computational methods to examine how hpBMEC and hiBMEC metabolize glutamine, which may impact their utility in modeling the blood-brain barrier.

We report a Ni-catalyzed vicinal alkylarylation of unactivated alkenes in γ,δ- and δ,ε-alkenylamines with aryl halides and alkylzinc reagents. The reaction is enabled by amine coordination and can use all primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. The reaction constructs two new C(sp)-C(sp) and C(sp)-C(sp) bonds and produces δ- and ε-arylamines with C(sp)-branching at the γ- and δ-positions.

In recent decades, natural rangelands have emerged as vital sources of livelihood and ecological services, particularly in Southern Africa, supporting communities in developing regions. However, the escalating global demand for food, driven by a growing human population, has led to the extensive expansion of cultivated areas, resulting in continuous nutrient leaching in rangelands. To ensure the long-term viability of these ecosystems, there is a need to develop effective approaches for managing and monitoring the seasonality of forage quality.

In this study, a simple and efficient method for synthesizing nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) has been developed through a one-step hydrothermal process using hedyotis diffusa willd. The morphology, chemical composition, and optical properties of the resulting N-CQDs were thoroughly characterized. The synthesized N-CQDs exhibited a spherical shape with an average particle size of 4.
