Carbonaceous aerosols (CAs) are major components of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that dramatically influence the energy budget of Earth. However, accurate assessment of the climatic impacts of CAs is still challenging due to the large uncertainties remaining in the measurement of their...

Chronic exposure to hexavalent chromium compounds [Cr(VI)] is associated with an increased risk of cancers, but the molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that CXCL5 levels in peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) and plasma from workers with occupational exposure to...

This study is based on the micro-convection analysis of a thermal conductivity model, the influence of micro-convection on the thermal conductivity measurement was discussed, and a theoretical model of the thermal conductivity of ice slurry was established considering the influence of latent...

Climate change and extreme weather pose significant challenges to the traditional viticulture regions. Emerging high-altitude grape-producing regions with diverse orientations have shown great potential in coping with this challenge. Stable, high-quality wine grape production may be achieved by...

Low abundance cell sorting has fundamental applications in cell research and therapy, such as cancer diagnosis, cell transplantation, and immunology. However, various methods for isolating low abundance cells are challenging due to the low cell recovery rate and throughput. In this paper, we...

In this study, emerging amendments sulfhydryl grafted palygorskite (SGP) with different sulfhydryl loading rates were prepared and characterized in detail. Their immobilization efficiency for Cd and dose-effect relationship were investigated via sorption in solutions, soil incubation, and...

The notorious filamentous toxin-producing cyanobacteria Oscillatoria have exhibited increased frequency and distribution in source waters worldwide and have caused a series of issues in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). To solve these issues a novel technology coupling moderate...

Organic conjugated materials have presented considerable application potential in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this study, two organic conjugated materials, two dimension carbon nitride (2D-C 3 N 4 ) and organic cobalt molecular catalyst ((H 3 O) 6 ·[Co 4 (H 2 O)...
