Abstract:
... Atmospheric oxidizing capacity (AOC) is the fundamental driving factors of chemistry process (e.g., the formation of ozone (O₃) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA)) in the troposphere. However, accurate quantification of AOC still remains uncertainty. In this study, a comprehensive field campaign was conducted during autumn 2019 in downtown of Beijing, where O₃ and PM₂.₅ episodes had been experie ...

... Rhus genus is commonly known as sumac and widely used in the folk medicine. Rhus virens is a plant commonly used to treat diabetes or pain in the northern territory of Mexico. Even though R. virens is used in the folk medicine there is still a lack of evidence about the pharmacological effect of this species. The aim of this study was to determine the antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antioxi ...
... In this work, CPP-Ca chelate was synthesized by chelating casein phosphopeptide (CPP) and calcium and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antioxidant activity and calcium holding capacity of CPP-Ca were evaluated and its secondary structure transition was monitored ...
... Phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as the most efficient thermal energy storage solutions due to their unique energy storage properties, but they inevitably have shortcomings such as easy leakage and single thermal energy conversion method. In order to solve these problems and expand the application scope of PCMs in the field of thermal energy storage, using cellulose nanofibers, MXene, PE ...
... Due to the public health concern of arsenic, environmental management measures in mining areas had been implemented. To assess the effect of environmental management measures in the mining area comprehensively, arsenic accumulation in the urine, hair, nails, and urinary metabolites of residents in a realgar mining area in Hunan province, China were investigated in 2019, and the changes in arsenic ...
... Each protein in a multiprotein system assumed a different role at the colloidal interface. To determine exactly which proteins played a key role in the evolution of egg white foam, label-free quantitative proteomics techniques were employed to detect key proteins associated with egg white foam properties. There were 35 (14 up-regulated and 21 down-regulated) and 25 (13 up-regulated and 12 down-reg ...
... In this investigation, the tryptophan requirement of C. punctatus fingerling (5.45 ± 0.07 g) was determined by feeding seven isoproteic (450 g kg⁻¹ CP) and isoenergetic (14.7 kJ g⁻¹ DE) diets with graded levels of tryptophan 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 g kg⁻¹, respectively to randomly stocked groups in triplicate at 8:00, 12:30 and 17:30 h near to satiety for 12 weeks. Tryptophan contributed by casei ...
... The multiple sorptive sites on illitic clays (e.g., frayed edge [FES], type II [TS], and planar sites [PS]) are related to variable ¹³⁷Cs immobilization in subsurface environments. This study investigated the diverse Cs⁺ sorption using 10 illitic clays under various competing K⁺ (distilled water−10⁻¹ mol L⁻¹) and Cs⁺ concentrations (10⁻⁷−10⁻³ mol L⁻¹). In addition, the multisite cation exchange mo ...
... An 8-week feeding trial investigated the optimum dietary vitamin K₃ requirements of largemouth bass. A total of 600 healthy fish (12.96 ± 0.07 g) were fed diets containing varying levels of vitamin K₃ at 0.78 (K0), 5.80 (K5), 10.82 (K10), 15.84 (K15), and 20.85 (K20) mg/kg with four replicates per level. Results showed that dietary vitamin K₃ enhanced growth, with weight gain rate and specific gro ...
... Marine fish at early life is vulnerable to the threat of external pathogenic bacteria with unestablished intestinal flora. Early life intervention could contribute to healthy development of larvae gut tract. Consequently, the present study examined how large yellow croaker larvae (Larimichthys crocea) (mean body weight 3.64 ± 0.20 mg) responde to fecal microbiota came from 12-month-old large yello ...
... Methanotroph bacteria meal (MBM) is produced by the fermentation of Methylococcus capsulatus, which use methane as carbon source. To evaluate the potential of replacing dietary fish meal (FM) with MBM, an eight-week growth trial was conducted on turbot juveniles (Scophthalmus maximus L.) with initial average weight of 9.13 ± 0.02 g. Seven isonitrogenous (crude protein, 51.00%) and isolipidic (crud ...
... A feeding experiment was carried out to compare the effects of dietary synthetic astaxanthin and Haematococcus pluvialis on growth, antioxidant capacity, immune response and hepato-morphology of Oncorhynchus mykiss under cage culture with flowing freshwater. Three isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with or without synthetic astaxanthin and H. pluvialis and were administered to O. ...
... The present study investigated the effects of genipin cross-linking on the gelling properties of ginkgo seed protein isolate (GSPI). Cross-linking of GSPI was achieved with different concentrations (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6% w/v) of genipin at pH 6.0. Compared to pure GSPI, genipin treatment led to lower solubility, surface hydrophobicity, and fluorescence intensity, while promoted protein aggr ...
... Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have a dual role in acting as magnetic and sonosensitizer agents, which can combine the synergistic effects of microwave and ultrasonic waves. To study the effects of MNPs combined ultrasonic-microwave thawing (NUMT) on the water holding capacity (WHC), oxidation of protein and lipid, and protein conformation, jumbo squid mantles were subjected to cold storage thawing ...
... Exercise training can improve the growth performance, immunocompetence, and stress resistance of fish, even altering their physiological parameters and gene expression. Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) that originally lived in rivers and lakes are now often raised in ponds without flowing water, leading to a lack of exercise. This study examined the effects of exercise training on largemout ...
... Enriched trace elements in coal are considered to have a high environmental impact, but the extent of the influence of the enrichment level is unclear. To study the chemical speciation and environmental behavior of trace elements in coal at different enrichment levels, representative coal samples from multiple provinces in China were collected, including bituminous coal I-L2 from Inner Mongolia wi ...
