Various studies have been conducted to minimize the damage and loss of stored grain. For safe storage, the moisture content must be reduced, or respiration must be suppressed. In this study, grain respiration rates were analyzed under various nitrogen atmospheric conditions, and the quality of stored rice was evaluated. As the nitrogen content of the storage space increases, the respiration rate of the grain decreases accordingly. In this study, the effect of the modified atmospheric nitrogen concentration on reducing respiration was determined. When predicting weight loss due to respiration, low moisture content, and high nitrogen concentration could reduce loss. Quality analysis was performed to compare different respiration rate conditions and showed that lower oxygen concentration and moisture content were associated with safer storage. Our results indicate that changes in atmospheric conditions depending on climate and storage conditions can be considered for the safe storage of harvested rice.

Objective: Cognitive impairment (CI) is highly prevalent in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway plays a critical role in neuronal survival in a variety of central nervous system injuries. This study aimed to determine whether electroacupuncture (EA) at and LI20 ameliorates SAH-CI in a rat model and to examine whether it modulates the PI3K/AKT pathway by administering a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) versus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle.

Laboratório de Plasmas e Processos - LPP, Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica - ITA/DCTA, São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil.

This study aimed to investigate the thermal plasma treatment of sewage sludge as an alternative waste management solution. Samples were collected from a sewage treatment facility in São Paulo, Brazil, and subjected to thermal treatments in a furnace at temperatures of 400, 600, 800, and 900 °C to assess moisture content, mass loss, and ash composition. Subsequently, the samples were processed in a thermal plasma reactor operating at an average power of 30 kW.

National Engineering Research Center of Industrial Wastewater Detoxication and Resource Recovery, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, 200237, China. Electronic address:

The challenges faced by sludge pyrolysis units, including poor heat transfer efficiency and uneven heating of material groups, significantly hinder the green and low-carbon transformation and sustainable development of sludge treatment. The suspension self-rotation of sludge particles in a cyclone enhances particle heat transfer, thereby improving the pyrolysis process. In this study, we developed a novel method for sludge pyrolysis using Cyclone Suspension Self-Rotation Pyrolysis Reactor (CSSPR).

Yutangba, situated in Enshi City, Hubei Province, is globally noted for its high selenium (Se) content. Soil invertebrates are essential to the functionality and services of terrestrial ecosystems, yet their community composition in this region remains under-explored. This study utilized environmental DNA metabarcoding to investigate the interrelations among environmental factors, soil invertebrate diversity, and community characteristics concerning soil Se content, pH, and moisture content in the region.
