Nanoparticle-assembled interconnected PbO hollow spheres enabled by PVP-driven transformation of β-PbO and self-sacrificial templating for superior lithium storage.

Lead oxides (PbO, 1 ≤ ≤ 2) are promising high-capacity and low-cost anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the huge lithiation-induced volume expansion of conventional large-sized PbO particles leads to severe electrode pulverization with poor cycling stability. Herein, a rare mixed-valence PbO with a unique hierarchical architecture of nanoparticle-assembled interconnected hollow spheres (denoted PbO NAHSs) is crafted by introducing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) into the solution of generating β-PbO microspheres (MSs), which is exploited for the first time as a potential advanced anode material for LIBs.

Molecular mechanism of autophagy in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a significant pathogen affecting the swine industry globally, has been shown to manipulate host cell processes, including autophagy, to facilitate its replication and survival within the host. Autophagy, an intracellular degradation process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, can be hijacked by viruses for their own benefit. During PRRSV infection, autophagy plays a complex role, both as a defense mechanism of the host and as a tool exploited by the virus.

microRNA-8514-5p regulates adipokinetic hormone/corazonin-related peptide receptor to affect development and reproduction of Plutella xylostella.

Background: Dicer1 plays a crucial role in regulating the development and reproduction of insects. Knockout of Dicer1 causes pupal deformity, low eclosion and low fecundity in Plutella xylostella, but the mechanism behind this phenomenon is not clear. This study aims to identify differentially-expressed genes and miRNAs in the Dicer1-knockout strain (ΔPxDcr-1) and assess their impact on the reproduction and development of P.

The effect of forest-based health and wellness on the stress-relieve of middle-aged people.

In order to explore the impact of experience in forest-based health and wellness (FHW) on the stress of middle-aged people, 12 participants aged 35-39 were selected to conduct a 3-day/2-night study on FHW experience in Wencheng, Wenzhou. Huawei bracelets were used to monitor participants' movement, pulse and blood pressure and their mood state was measured before and after the health care experience using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) scale. After the FHW experience, the lowest value of bracelet stress appeared on the second day of the experience for men and women.

Encapsulation and characterization of ω-3 medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols microencapsulated with different proteins as wall materials.

In this study, ω-3 medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCTs) microcapsules with excellent performance were obtained using soy protein as the wall component to address the oxidation-related problems of MLCTs. Additionally, the effect of soy, whey, or pea proteins on microcapsules in terms of the changes in their structure and physicochemical properties was investigated. The results showed that the small particle size, low PDI (polydispersity index) and zeta potential, fast adsorption rate, and low interfacial tension of these protein-based samples fabricated through the O/W template method were conducive to maintaining the integrity of microcapsules during spray-drying.

Comparative identification of WRKY transcription factors and transcriptional response to Ralstonia solanacearum in tomato.

In order to study the responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) WRKY TFs to bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, the most up-to-date genomes and transcriptional profiles were used to identify WRKY TFs in control and infected inbred lines. In total, 85 tomato WRKY TFs were identified and categorized into groups I, IIa + b, IIc, IId + e, and III. These WRKYs, especially those from group IIe, were mainly distributed at chromosome ends and in clusters.

Academic resilience, self-efficacy, and motivation: the role of parenting style.

Previous research has found that parenting style influences academic resilience. Nonetheless, few studies have focused on the mechanism underlying the relationship between parenting style and academic resilience. This study aims to examine the relationship between adolescents' parenting style and academic resilience, drawing upon the framework of Social Cognitive Theory.

The diversity of planktonic bacteria driven by environmental factors in different mariculture areas in the East China Sea.

Planktonic bacteria play a crucial role in sustaining the ecological balance of aquatic ecosystems. However, their seasonal variations in different aquaculture areas within the East China Sea, along with their correlation to environmental factors, have not been extensively explored. In this study, each area with 3 sample points were set up to represent the fish aquaculture area, shellfish aquaculture area and non-aquaculture area.

Design of N-N ylide bond-based high energy density materials: a theoretical survey.

The generally encountered contradiction between large energy content and stability poses great difficulty in designing nitrogen-rich high-energy-density materials. Although N-N ylide bonds have been classified as the fourth type of homonuclear N-N bonds (besides >N-N<, -N[double bond, length as m-dash]N-, and N[triple bond, length as m-dash]N), accessible energetic molecules with N-N ylide bonds have rarely been explored. In this study, 225 molecules with six types of novel structures containing N-N ylide bonds were designed using density functional theory and CBS-QB3 methods.

General mechanisms of weak acid-tolerance and current strategies for the development of tolerant yeasts.

Yeast cells are often subjected to various types of weak acid stress in the process of industrial production, food processing, and preservation, resulting in growth inhibition and reduced fermentation performance. Under acidic conditions, weak acids enter the near-neutral yeast cytoplasm and dissociate into protons and anions, leading to cytoplasmic acidification and cell damage. Although some yeast strains have developed the ability to survive weak acids, the complexity and diversity of stresses during industrial production still require the application of appropriate strategies for phenotypes improvement.

Comparative analysis of changes in diarrhea and gut microbiota in Beigang pigs.

Increasing evidence indicated that the gut microbiota is a large and complex organic combination, which is closely related to the host health. Diarrhea is a disease with devastating effects on livestock that has been demonstrated to be associated with gut microbiota. Currently, studies on gut microbiota and diarrhea have involved multiple species, but changes in gut microbiota of Beigang pigs during diarrhea have not been characterized.

Ameliorative effect of black tea extract on the skin of D-galactose-induced aging mice.

Aging is a universal and irreversible process, and the skin is an important feature that reflects the aging of the organism. Skin aging has been a focus of attention in recent years because it leads to changes in an individual's external features and the loss of many important biological functions. This experiment investigated the improvement effect of black tea extract (BTE) on the skin of aging mice under D-galactose induction.
