As a fledgling marketing strategy that allows consumers to shop and enjoy a random experience at the same time, probabilistic selling is seeing an exploding. It can tap into consumers' buying potential and swiftly increase product sales, which is favorable for merchants, particularly in...

Self-assembled fungus-flexible fiber composite microspheres (SFFMs) were firstly combined with microbially induced calcium precipitation (MICP) in a continuous-flow bioreactor and achieved the efficient removal of fluoride (F−), nitrate (NO3−), and calcium (Ca2+), with the average removal...

In this study, W-Ag matrix composites were fabricated by a relatively low temperature (750 ℃) via designing dual-metal-layer (Cu and Ag) coated W powders. The effects of Cu and Ag coated W powders on the densification, microstructure and properties of the composites were investigated. The...

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is an important water quality indicator that needs in-time detection to evaluate organic pollution degrees of wastewater and improve wastewater treatment process parameters. However, present BOD detections were time-consuming (over 5 d) or only able to detect in...

Current knowledge and works on high-energy-density Li metal batteries (LMBs) mainly focus on their room-temperature performances. However, the wide-temperature properties of LMBs manifesting greater significance in their large-scale applications are rarely explored. In this work, two...

Clinically available antifungal drugs have therapeutic limitations due to toxicity, narrow spectrum of activity, and intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. Thus, there is an urgent need for new broad-spectrum antifungal agents with low toxicity and a novel mechanism of action. In this context,...

Many studies have suggested a positive and monotonic relationship between technological progress and wage income inequality since 1980s for industrialized economies. We examine this topic in the context of the Chinese economy where new generation technologies like automation, AI and...
