Application of bacteriophages in the prevention of Bacillus cereus infection in potatoes

Background The main component of potatoes is starch, which can serve as an easy breeding ground for Bacillus cereus during storage. This can decrease the shelf life of potatoes and pose food safety issues. Methods This study isolated several strains of B. cereus from rotten potat...

Electric-Field-Oriented Interfacial Solvent Engineering Enables High-Voltage Ether Electrolytes for Ni-Rich Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract High-voltage operation of nickel-rich cathodes (>4.5 V) significantly boosts the energy density of lithium-ion batteries but triggers catastrophic oxidative decomposition of conventional ether electrolytes. Under high-potential electric fields, ether molecules in the ele...

English-Chinese bilingual instruction in EFL secondary classroom in China: translanguaging as a strategic action to scaffold student learning

Abstract This study investigates how Chinese secondary school students and teachers navigate English language learning through translanguaging practices in South-Eastern China, drawing on data obtained from classroom observations and interviews with teachers from secondary school...

Dynamic stability and resilience of water conservation in the three-river headwaters region: Trajectory differentiation and causal mechanisms

Water conservation is a key ecosystem service of the Three-River Source region, the core area of the “Asian Water Tower”. Current studies on water conservation in alpine regions predominantly focus on static spatial patterns and overall driving analyses, while lacking systematic...

Predicting left-ventricular recovery and characterizing Cardiorenal risk after Transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A routine-data phenotyping and prediction-model study

Background Ejection fraction (LVEF) underpins risk stratification before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), yet it does not indicate whether an impaired ventricle will recover once the stenosis is relieved, or what drives death in high-risk patients. We asked whether...

Hydrodynamic and mass transfer behaviors of NH 3 microbubbles in ionic liquids

Abstract Ionic liquids enable efficient ammonia‐containing gas separation, but conventional absorption towers suffer from limited interfacial area and mass transfer efficiency. Microchannels overcome this owing to their large specific surface area. This study investigated the hyd...

Dual-step burr hole with periosteal anchoring technique: a robust method for ventricular catheter fixation – how I do it

Proximal catheter-related complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and Ommaya reservoir implantation remain an important factor leading to reoperation rates and morbidity. Conventional fixation methods often fail to provide adequate mechanical stability. A shallow outer...
