High-density fermentation of Streptococcus suis serotype 31 for inactivated vaccine production

Streptococcus suis serotype 31 (SS31) is a clinically important swine pathogen for which inactivated vaccine development requires a scalable cultivation process and evidence that the resulting bacterin has protective activity. However, conventional culture processes often yield i...

Short-term indoor fine particulate matter exposure impedes cognitive performance and autonomic nervous system in adults

Evidence suggests short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution can impact health, yet its wider cognitive effects and underlying mechanisms are unknown. In this randomized single-blind crossover lab-based study, 90 working-age adults were exposed to two st...

Headroom-Constrained Adaptive Power Oscillation Damping for Grid-Forming Battery Energy Storage Systems Under Modal-Estimation Uncertainty

Grid-forming battery energy storage systems (BESSs) can provide fast active-power modulation for oscillation damping, but adaptive action should be limited when modal evidence is weak or the damping-service power reserve is scarce. This paper develops an adaptive power oscillatio...

Crack-mediated chloride ingress in ECC-replaced negative moment regions under sustained loading

This study investigated crack-mediated chloride ingress in negative moment regions with local engineered cementitious composite (ECC) replacement under sustained loading. Different cracking states were generated at sustained load levels of 0.3 P max , 0.5 P max , and 0.7 P max ,...

Mechanical and thermal performance of hollow glass microsphere-reinforced earthen masonry walls in severe cold regions

This study investigates the mechanical and thermal performance of hollow glass microsphere- and jute fibre-stabilised earthen masonry walls for structural building envelopes in severe cold regions. Raw soil from Xiwusutu Village, Hohhot, was stabilised with 6 wt% hollow glass mic...

Influence of Environmental Factors and Microstructure on Water Vapor Permeability of Gypsum-Based Inorganic Mineral Materials

The water vapor permeability coefficient is a key parameter describing moisture transport in building materials, exerting a crucial influence on their hygrothermal performance and indoor humidity regulation. However, uncertainties remain in existing experimental methods and param...

Development of a double-nest droplet digital PCR technology for detection of BVDV and BTV

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and bluetongue virus (BTV) are important pathogens that affect ruminants, they have an overlapping host range, and mixed infections are easily caused in animals under mixed breeding or grazing together. It has always been a hot issue of concern...

Analysis of heat transfer characteristics during thawing of frozen soil in solar greenhouses incorporating cylindrical heat sources in severe cold regions

As the primary facility for winter agricultural production in severely cold regions, solar greenhouses often suffer from insufficient soil temperatures to meet crop growth requirements. This limitation is mainly attributed to the effects of seasonal frozen soil. To address this i...

An Improved Structured-Dictionary-Learning-Based Sparse SAR Imaging Algorithm

Existing structured-dictionary-learning (SDL)-based sparse synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging methods suffer from insufficient artifact suppression, limited parameter adaptivity, and inadequate structure preservation during refined imaging under low-sampling-rate conditions....

Accelerated Degradation Process Analysis Based on the Generalized Wiener Process with Mixed Random Effects

This paper investigates degradation modeling and failure time prediction for constant-stress accelerated degradation tests (CSADT) using a generalized Wiener process. Owing to differences in manufacturing processes and operating environments, the degradation trajectories may vary...

Interface engineering of Si-integrated BaTiO3 thin films enabled by an Al:HfO2 buffer layer

The integration of ferroelectric BaTiO 3 (BTO) thin films with Si is attractive for microelectronic and sensing applications, but high-temperature processing can promote interfacial reactions and electrically active transport pathways that degrade device performance. In this work...

Stabilizing Pt by Introducing TaON to Enhance the Long-Term Stability in Zinc-Air Batteries

Abstract For many years, the application of zinc-air batteries (ZABs) has been plagued by the limited durability of platinum (Pt)-based catalysts. Here, we overcome this problem by adopting an intelligent catalyst design, introducing tantalum (oxy)nitrides (TaON) as a carrier to...

Laboratory-scale particle-level evaluation of MSWIFA-RCA granulated artificial aggregates with 2D–3D morphology-assisted screening

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA) can be co-processed into granulated artificial aggregates, but conventional batch-averaged assessments cannot adequately reveal particle-to-particle consistency, while existing single-partic...

Temperature field evolution and optimization simulation of cryo-adsorptive hydrogen vessel filling over a wide pressure range
