摘要:
Photocatalysis holds promise for extracting uranium from aqueous solution. Nevertheless, conventional approaches generally rely on sacrificial agents and anaerobic conditions to maintain photocatalytic efficiency, which increases costs and causes secondary pollution. Herein, we introduce the design and synthesis of an S-scheme ZnIn2S4/g-C3N4 (ZISCN) heterojunction photocatalyst for the efficient removal of uranium via in-situ generating ZnIn2S4 on g-C3N4. Photoelectric characterization and theoretical calculation indicate that ZISCN boosts the absorption of visible light and promotes the effective separation and migration of charge carriers by forming an internal electric field (IEF) at the S-scheme heterojunction interface. This configuration integrates the strong reducing electrons of g-C3N4 and the potent oxidation holes of ZnIn2S4. Consequently, the as-synthesized ZISCN can efficiently remove uranium under an air atmosphere without the need for sacrificial agents and anaerobic conditions. The achieved U(VI) removal rate of 94.8 % surpasses that of ZnIn2S4 and g-C3N4 individually. Moreover, the photocatalytic extraction of U(VI) by ZISCN photocatalyst demonstrated excellent stability and anti-interference performance. After five cycles, the U(VI) removal rate remained above 85 %. Mechanism studies reveal that when electrons are generated by light in the ZISCN systems, they can reduce O2, leading to the formation of reactive species ·O2/H2O2. These species subsequently interact with U(VI), resulting in the precipitation of (UO2)O2·2H2O on the surface of ZISCN. This research provides valuable insights for the design of heterojunction photocatalysts for efficient, sacrificial agent-free uranium removal in ambient air environments.

摘要:
With the continuous development of nuclear energy, it becomes increasingly important to recover uranium from the radioactive wastewater, in which various organics may combine with uranyl ions (UO22+) to form refractory complexes. Developing highly active cathode materials for uranium reduction is essential to improve the performance of self-driven solar coupling system (SSCS) in treating complex radioactive wastewater. In this study, an activated carbon felt (ACF) cathode is prepared by anodizing carbon felt (CF) in NaOH solution to adjust the surface morphology and functional groups. The ACF is then used in a SSCS combined with a TiO2 nanorods array (TNA) photoanode for the efficient recovery of uranium and the rapid degradation of organic pollutants with simultaneous electricity generation. Compared to CF, the functionalized ACF with oxygen-containing functional groups, provides sufficient sites for UO22+ adsorption and facilitates the charge separation. The SSCS with the ACF cathode exhibits removal ratios of approximately 99.9 % for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and UO22+, with removal rates of ∼ 0.025 and ∼ 0.154 min−1, respectively. In contrast, the SSCS with the CF cathode achieves removal rates of ∼ 0.006 and ∼ 0.026 min−1. Additionally, a maximum power density of 0.94 mW·cm−2 with a fill factor of 23.36 % is achieved. After 20 cycles, the system maintains removal ratios of 99.1 % for TCH and 98.2 % and UO22+. Intensive investigation also reveals that the system functions robustly in treating complex wastewater with a complicated condition of pH, co-exited ions, and various pollutant concentrations. Furthermore, efficient removal of organics and uranium is also achieved from polluted seawater or under real sunlight illumination. This paper presents a simple method to prepare low-cost, highly active and stable cathodes for uranium reduction in an easy-to-operated, energy-saving and economical solar-driven system.

摘要:
In this study, Fe/N co-doped graphene-like honeycomb porous carbon (Fe-NC)was produced and used for the activating PMS to degrade TC. The Fe-NC catalyst has shown high activity in the TC degradation by activated PMS, with an efficiency of up to 94 % in 30 min. while the blank catalyst without N and Fe doping exhibited the lowest performance with 47.3 % TC degradation. Moreover, other operational factors of Fe-NC catalysts were also investigated to evaluate its catalytic activity. The burst experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments demonstrated that free radical paths (O-2(& sdot;-)) and non-free radical paths (O-1(2)) coexist inside the Fe-NC/PMS system. The experiment results and degradation mechanism analysis revealed that N species(Pyridine N, Graphite N,Fe-N-x) x ) and iron species (Fe0) were possible to be the active species of catalysts. Furthermore, Fe-NC/PMS system was investigated for possible pathway of TC degradation by liquid mass spectrometry (LC- MS), and the presence of intermediates was analyzed for toxicity magnitude by ECOSAR software.

<jats:p>Ginsenoside is the principal active ingredient in ginseng. Several investigations have
found that ginsenosides have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-cancer, and antiallergic
activities. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of cell-regulated death
caused by lipid peroxidation. Iron, lipid, and amino acid metabolism orchestrate the complex ferroptosis
response through direct or indirect regulation of iron accumulation or lipid peroxidation. More
and more research has demonstrated that ginsenoside impacts illnesses via ferroptosis, implying that
ferroptosis might be employed as a novel target of ginsenoside for disease therapy. This article examines
the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis as well as the current advancement of ginsenoside in
influencing disorders via ferroptosis.</jats:p>

摘要:
Plutonium-239+240 and (137)Cs in the environment can usually be used to track the impact of nuclear activities on the environment, and have become important tools in environmental geochemical studies. In this study, nine sediment cores (E1-E9) in Lake East Dongting were collected and measured for the activity concentration of (239+240)Pu, (137)Cs and the atomic ratio of (240)Pu/(239)Pu, and then their vertical distribution characteristics were analyzed. The results show that: the activity concentrations of (137)Cs and (239+240)Pu in Lake East Dongting ranged from 5.26±0.43 to 28.6±2.23 Bq kg(-1) and 0.29±0.02 to 1.37±0.09 Bq kg(-1), with an average of 7.48±0.68 Bq kg(-1) and 0.39±0.03 Bq kg(-1), respectively. The atomic ratios of (240)Pu/(239)Pu are 0.168±0.012-0.211±0.015, which are basically consistent with the global atmospheric deposition. The vertical profiles of (137)Cs and (239+240)Pu in sediment cores show obvious single-peak distribution in E1-E6 and bimodal distribution in E7-E9. The results of sedimentation rates calculated by (137)Cs and (239+240)Pu method ranged from 0.59cm y(-1) to 1.99cm y(-1) with a mean of 1.18cm y(-1) and 0.61cm y(-1) to 2.18cm y(-1) with a mean of 1.26cm y(-1). The inventories of (137)Cs and (239+240)Pu in nine sediment cores are 5.87-10.8 kBq m(-2) and 307-545 Bq m(-2), which are about 8-14 and 9-15 times the inventory in the global average atmospheric deposition at the same latitude respectively. Comparing the results of the sedimentation rates and the inventories from different sampling points indicates that extreme climatic events and human activities have a significant impact on sediment environment of Lake East Dongting.

摘要:
Low-concentration electrolyte demonstrates significant advantages in terms of low cost, low viscosity, and high wettability. However, its high solvent ratio usually induces a fragile organic-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which is not compatible with high-voltage lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, a screening rule for diluents has been established based on the electrostatic potential, which guides the rational design of diluted low-concentration electrolyte (DLCE) with a high anion-to-solvent ratio. Specifically, the anti-solvating power of a diluent is positively correlated with its value of the most positive surface potential (ESPmax), and thus diluents with a high ESPmax value easily cause salt precipitation when diluting concentrated electrolyte to low concentration (<1 M). In light of this observation, a diluent with a low ESPmax value is selected to ensure the preparation of a transparent DLCE, thus maintaining a high anion-to-solvent ratio in DLCE. As an exemplary study, a 0.5 M ether-based DLCE is developed for high-voltage LMBs. Due to the high anion-to-solvent ratio, a robust LiF-rich SEI is formed and enables the stable operation of LMBs under high voltage (4.5 V) and a wide temperature range (-20 to 55 C-degrees). This work offers a guideline for screening diluents to design high-performance LCEs for high-voltage batteries.

摘要:
The stochastic fluctuation of information induces the dynamic behavior and disease control strategy to change in the HBV epidemic model, but how stochastic information dissemination affects them is vague. Here, we consider an HBV epidemic model with stochastic information intervention. Using the Lyapunov function, we demonstrate that the system has a unique global positive solution, in addition, we also derive the threshold dynamics to obtain sufficient conditions that can ensure the extinction and persistence, as well as stationarity of the system. Moreover, we qualify the impact of stochasticity of the information on the optimal control strategy of the HBV, indicating that while information intervention could effectively reduce the disease peak, the fluctuation will attenuate this effect, i.e., the stable information is better than the noisy one. Finally, various stochastic and optimal control simulations are performed to verify the theoretical results and verify that optimal control can accelerate the extinction of the disease.

摘要:
The progress of the cell cycle of yeast involves the regulatory relationships between genes and the interactions proteins. However, it is still obscure which type of protein plays a decisive role in regulation and how to identify the vital nodes in the regulatory network. To elucidate the sensitive node or gene in the progression of yeast, here, we select 8 crucial regulatory factors from the yeast cell cycle to decipher a specific network and propose a simple mixed K2 algorithm to identify effectively the sensitive nodes and genes in the evolution of yeast. Considering the multivariate of cell cycle data, we first utilize the K2 algorithm limited to the stationary interval for the time series segmentation to measure the scores for refining the specific network. After that, we employ the network entropy to effectively screen the obtained specific network, and simulate the gene expression data by a normal distribution approximation and the screened specific network by the partial least squares method. We can conclude that the robustness of the specific network screened by network entropy is better than that of the specific network with the determined relationship by comparing the obtained specific network with the determined relationship. Finally, we can determine that the node CDH1 has the highest score in the specific network through a sensitivity score calculated by network entropy implying the gene CDH1 is the most sensitive regulatory factor. It is clearly of great potential value to reconstruct and visualize gene regulatory networks according to gene databases for life activities. Here, we present an available algorithm to achieve the network reconstruction by measuring the network entropy and identifying the vital nodes in the specific nodes. The results indicate that inhibiting or enhancing the expression of CDH1 can maximize the inhibition or enhancement of the yeast cell cycle. Although our algorithm is simple, it is also the first step in deciphering the profound mystery of gene regulation.

摘要:
ATP-binding cassette protein A1 (ABCA1) is a key protein in the transport of intracellular cholesterol to the extracellular and plays an important role in reduc-ing cholesterol accumulation in surrounding tissues. Bibliometric analysis refers to the cross-science of quan-titative analysis of a variety of documents by mathemati-cal and statistical methods. It combines an analysis of structural and temporal patterns in scholarly publica-tions with a description of topic concentration and types of uncertainty. This paper analyzes the history, hotspot, and development trend of ABCA1 through bibliometrics. It will provide readers with the research status and development trend of ABCA1 and help the hot research in this field explore new research directions. After screening, the research on ABCA1 is still in a hot phase in the past 20 years. ABCA1 is emerging in previously unrelated disciplines such as cancer. There were 551 key-words and 6888 breakout citations counted by CiteSpace. The relationship between cancer and cardiovascular dis-ease has been linked by ABCA1. This review will guide readers who are not familiar with ABCA1 research to quickly understand the development process of ABCA1 and provide researchers with a possible future research focus on ABCA1.
