Bigels were prepared by using the mixture of glycerol monostearate (GMS)-beeswax based oleogel and high acyl gellan gum hydrogel in different proportions. The confocal microscopic observations showed that the obtained bigels were oleogel-in-hydrogel, and droplets became larger with increased content ...
... Pyruvate kinase (PK) has been considered as a promising fungicide target discovered in our previous studies. Natural compounds are important sources for discovery and development of new pesticides. To continue our ongoing studies on the discovery of novel PK-targeted fungicides, a series of novel psoralen derivatives including a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were designed by a computer-aided pesticide m ...

Abstract:
... Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are chemicals extensively used as plasticizers and flame retardants in commercial and consumer products. In this study, we developed and validated a method for the analysis of 13 common OPEs in meat (chicken, pork, and beef) and fish (catfish and salmon) to study their occurrence in those foods in the United States. The method was based on QuEChERS extraction with ace ...
... Solidification and stabilization (S/S) treatment via cement is common and effective for improving soil strength and stabilizing heavy metals in contaminated soils, but has certain drawbacks, such as high fossil energy consumption, big carbon footprint, poor chemical compatibility, and ambiguous long-term stability. This paper innovatively proposes bacterial-induced mineralization (BIM) as an eco-f ...

Abstract:
... Pesticides, widely used for pest control and plant growth regulation, have posed a threat to the environment and human health. Conventional methods to analyze pesticide residues are not applied to resource-limited areas because of their high cost, complexity, and requirements for expensive instruments (such as GC/MS and LC/MS). To address these challenges, herein we fabricated colorimetric nanozym ...

Abstract:
... A QuEChERS method with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was modified and validated for the determination of florasulam and pyroxsulam residues in wheat grain and straw. The validated method was applied to cereals including oat, millet, corn and rice. Average recoveries were 76-113% with RSDs 2-15%. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.005 mg/kg for wheat grain and 0.01 ...
... Most of the existing researches on energy evolution in the process of rock deformation and failure mainly revolve around a specific stage (before or after the peak). However, there are few studies involving the impacts of lithology and loading rate on the energy evolution in the whole process from deformation to failure, especially the studies on non-linear characteristics of rock energy, which is ...
