Global climate change and rapid urbanization have increasingly intensified extreme rainfall events and surface runoff, posing significant challenges to urban hydrological security. Synergetic Grey-Green Infrastructure (SGGI) has been widely applied to enhance stormwater management in urban areas. However, current research primarily focused on optimizing and evaluating either grey infrastructure (GREI) or green infrastructure (GI) under single rainfall event, neglecting the non-stationary impacts of long-term climate change on infrastructure performance. Therefore, this study introduced a multi-stage optimization framework for SGGI layouts based on shared socio-economic pathways, utilizing graph theory and genetic algorithms to identify optimal solutions through life cycle cost (LCC) and hydraulic reliability in response to varying climate change scenarios. A case study of Shenzhen, China, was conducted to validate this method. The results indicated that: (1) SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios revealed significant phase-specific variations in Shenzhen's annual precipitation series; (2) The optimized SGGI layouts yielded substantial LCC savings compared to GREI, with centralized and decentralized strategies achieving reductions of 6.6% and 4.7%, respectively. (3) The SGGI adapted to extreme rainfall conditions by shifting preference from permeable pavements to bioretention cells; (4) The Change-GREI&GI (CGG) strategy consistently outperformed the Change-only-GI (COG) strategy in LCC control and hydraulic reliability, particularly a 1.68% cost advantage under extreme scenarios. These findings highlight the critical role of multi-stage optimization in improving the cost-effectiveness and resilience of integrated grey-green infrastructure systems, providing valuable insights for designing adaptive SGGI strategies that effectively respond to long-term climate variability in urban environments.

In this comprehensive investigation, the sustainable production and utilization of gas separation membranes derived from coconut water (CW) waste was investigated. The research focuses on the synthesis of bacterial cellulose (BC) and cellulose acetate (CA) membranes from CW, followed by a thorough analysis of their characteristics, including morphology, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, tensile strength, and chemical composition. The study rigorously evaluates membrane performance, with particular emphasis on CO/CH selectivity under various operational conditions, including pressure, membrane thickness, and number of stages.

CO flooding plays a crucial role in enhancing oil recovery and achieving carbon reduction targets, particularly in unconventional reservoirs with complex pore structures. The phase behavior of CO and hydrocarbons at different scales significantly affects oil recovery efficiency, yet its underlying mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. This study improves existing thermodynamic models by introducing Helmholtz free energy as a convergence criterion and incorporating adsorption effects in micro- and nano-scale pores.

Background/objectives: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) present significant challenges in modern healthcare, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Examination gloves play a critical role in infection prevention by serving as a barrier to reduce the risk of cross-contamination between healthcare workers and patients. This manuscript aims to provide consensus-based guidelines for the optimal selection, use, and disposal of examination gloves in healthcare settings, addressing both infection prevention and environmental sustainability.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the lack of non-invasive early detection tools, which significantly impacts patient prognosis. Given that glycosylation alterations especially high sialylation and fucosylation, frequently occur during cellular malignant transformation, but their roles are not elucidated. We examined alterations in disease-specific glycosylated extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived miRNAs in the serum of ESCC patients, evaluating their utility as diagnostic biomarkers.
