This study investigates the effects of phosphoric acid (HPO), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KHPO) and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaHPO) admixtures on the setting time, compressive strength and water resistance of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC). MOC samples incorporating different admixtures are prepared, and their hydration products and microstructures are studied via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the addition of HPO, KHPO and NaHPO reduces the initial and final setting times and decreases the compressive strength. However, the compressive strength of MOC is higher than 30.00 MPa with the addition of 2.0 wt.% phosphoric acid and its phosphate after 14 days of air curing. The water resistance of modified MOC slurries is significantly improved. The softening coefficient of MOC with 2.0 wt.% HPO is 1.2 after 14 days of water immersion, which is 3.44 times higher than that of the neat MOC. The enhancement in water resistance is attributed to the formation of amorphous gel facilitated by HPO, KHPO and NaHPO. Furthermore, the improvement in water resistance is manifested as HPO > KHPO > NaHPO.

In recent years, the global rise in temperatures has led to drought and heat becoming major environmental stresses that limit plant growth. Previous research has demonstrated the potential of in augmenting plant stress resistance. However, specific studies on its effects and underlying mechanisms in cuttings of , and Planch are relatively limited.

Tumor hypoxia and heat resistance as well as the light penetration deficiency severely compromise the phototherapeutic efficacy, developing phototherapeutic agents to overcome these issues has been sought-after goal. Herein, a diradical-featured organic small-molecule semiconductor, namely TTD-CN, has been designed to show low exciton binding energy of 42 meV by unique dimeric π-π aggregation, promoting near-infrared (NIR) absorption beyond 808 nm and effective photo-induced charge separation. More interestingly, its redox potentials are tactfully manipulated for water splitting to produce O and reduction of O to generate O .

Plant-based nano-insecticides like provide eco-friendly pest control with low resistance risk. This study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the FeO @Carbon nanoformulation of extract with a carbon shell and pure extract against (eggs and larvae), a significant potato pest in Iran. A modified solvothermal method produced highly water-dispersible magnetite (FeO) particles, with citrate as a stabilising agent.

The occurrence of chemical effluents in different water bodies is an emerging concern. However, the effect of laboratory effluents on the canal ecosystem in Bangladesh is largely unknown. In this study, we collected 10 components of the canal ecosystem including sediments, water, fish, crabs, snails, phytoplanktons, and weeds specifically from canals that directly receive laboratory effluents.
