Control of a New Financial Risk Contagion Dynamic Model Based on Finite-Time Disturbance.

With the widespread application of chaotic systems in many fields, research on chaotic systems is becoming increasingly in-depth. This article first proposes a new dynamic model of financial risk contagion based on financial principles and discusses some basic dynamic characteristics of the new chaotic system, such as equilibrium points, dissipativity, Poincaré diagrams, bifurcation diagrams, etc. Secondly, with the consideration of privacy during data transmission, the method was designed to protect the privacy of controlled systems in finite time based on perturbation.

Local Electric Field-Incorporated In-Situ Copper Ions Eliminating Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Drinking Water.

Background/objectives: Pathogen inactivation and harmful gene destruction from water just before drinking is the last line of defense to protect people from waterborne diseases. However, commonly used disinfection methods, such as chlorination, ultraviolet irradiation, and membrane filtration, experience several challenges such as continuous chemical dosing, the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and intensive energy consumption.

Methods: Here, we perform a simultaneous elimination of pathogens and ARGs in drinking water using local electric fields and in-situ generated trace copper ions (LEF-Cu) without external chemical dosing.

Dynamic Impact of One-Year Integrated Rice-Crayfish Farming on Bacterioplankton Communities in Paddy Water.

As global food security issues become increasingly severe, an important innovation in agricultural production patterns, namely integrated rice-fish farming, has been widely implemented around the world, especially in Asia. To assess the impact of integrated rice-crayfish () farming (IRCF) on agricultural ecosystems, we used Illumina high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze differences in diversity, composition, co-occurrence network, and assembly process of planktonic bacterial communities in paddy water between traditional rice farming (TRM) and IRCF. Environmental factors and planktonic bacterial communities were evaluated during the tillering, jointing, flowering, and grain-filling stages on August 24, September 5, September 24, and October 16, respectively.

This study explores the effects of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) in a letrozole-induced PCOS mouse model, focusing on metabolic regulation. Letrozole-induced aromatase inhibition elevated androgen and reduced bile acid levels, linking liver dysfunction and gut imbalance to PCOS.

Effects of Supplementing Yeast Fermentation Products on Growth Performance, Colonic Metabolism, and Microbiota of Pigs Challenged with Typhimurium.

Yeast fermentation products (YFPs) are known to contain bioactive compounds, such as nutritional metabolites and cell wall polysaccharides (specifically glucan and mannan), which have been demonstrated to exert positive effects on the growth performance and immunity of livestock and poultry. However, the impact of YFPs on intestinal inflammation and microflora composition in pigs infected with typhimurium remains unclear. To investigate this, a total of 18 weaned pigs were divided into three treatment groups: a non-challenged control group (Con), a group challenged with typhimurium (ST), and a group challenged with typhimurium and supplemented with 0.

Lacustrine groundwater discharge as an important hidden source of nutrients to a large eutrophic lake: Implications for eutrophication management.

Lake eutrophication driven by excessive nutrient inputs has become a global issue, but the potential impact of lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) as a nutrient source on lake eutrophication remains largely unknown. This study assessed the contribution of LGD-derived nutrient loads and revealed their potential impact on lake eutrophication in Taihu Lake, a typical large shallow and eutrophic lake in China, based on the segmented radon mass balance model and nutrient data. The total LGD flux was estimated to be 6.

Highly efficient metal-free electrochemical membrane enables zero-valent sulfur recovery from thiourea wastewater.

Electrochemical recovery of zero-valent sulfur (S) from thiourea (TU) wastewater offers a promising waste-to-value strategy that expects to promote the sulfur resource cycle in water treatment but still suffer from electrode poisoning and sulfur over-oxidation. Herein, we designed a metal-free CNT electrochemical membrane for selective oxidation of thiourea and recovery of S. We found that defect sites on the carbon nanotube surface enable direct electron transfer for thiourea oxidation and may form carbon-sulfur bridge bonds, thereby facilitating the generation of S and urea.

Peptide-functionalized gold nanostars-assisted single-cell Raman spectra for molecular analysis of tumor metastasis based on cancer stem cells.

Cancer is one of the most fatal diseases threatening public health globally, and tumor metastasis causes greater than 90 % of cancer-associated deaths, presenting huge challenges for detection and efficient treatment of various human cancers. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a rare population of cancer cells and increasing evidences indicated CSCs are the driving force of tumor metastasis. In this study, a p-AuNSs-assisted single-cell Raman spectra has been established, to extract and amplify of CSCs fingerprints with single cell sensitivity.
