This study integrates electrochemical pretreatment with microalgae (Scenedesmus obliquus) treatment to enhance nitrogen and phosphorus removal and resource recovery from swine wastewater. By optimizing electrochemical and microalgae treatment conditions, the dilution factor and the hydraulic retention time for microalgae treatment were reduced to 5 times and 7 days, respectively. Under the optimized operational conditions, removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and ammonia could reach over 89 %and 96 %,respectively, and the removal efficiency of total phosphorus was over 99 %. The study also found that aluminum was more suitable than iron for anode as it produced fewer residues. Additionally, the electrochemical pretreatment reduced Cu and Zn2 concentrations, mitigating negative impacts on microalgal growth. The microalgae biomass harvested from developed processes was rich in saturated fatty acids, which was desirable for biodiesel production. This approach addresses the challenges of nutrient removal for swine wastewater treatment with high quality biomass recovery.

The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel is a key sensor for diverse cellular stimuli, regulating the excitability of primary nociceptive neurons. Sensitization of the TRP channel can heighten pain sensitivity to innocuous or mildly noxious stimuli. Here, reversible modulation of TRP channels is achieved by controlling both the light-induced photoelectrochemical reaction to induce neuronal depolarization, and antioxidants for neuronal protection.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) offer several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, including a more uniform sodium distribution, lower-cost materials, and safer transportation options. A promising development in SIBs is the use of hard carbons as anode materials due to their low insertion voltage and larger interlayer spacing, which improve sodium-ion insertion. Traditionally, hard carbons are made from costly carbon sources, but recent advancements have focussed on using abundant bio-waste, like coffee grounds.

The detection of biomarkers is crucial for assessing disease status and progression. Uric acid (UA), a common biomarker in body fluids, plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as hyperuricemia, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. However, the low concentration of UA in non-invasive body fluids, combined with numerous interfering substances, makes its detection challenging.
