Nano-modified biochar mitigates toxicity from co-contamination with lead and microplastics in alfalfa by modulating photosynthesis, nitrogen assimilation, and antioxidant systems

Microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals are released into the environment and pose serious challenges to crop productivity and human health. The role of biochar and calcium oxide nanoparticle (CaO-NPs) modified (NBC) in mitigating MPs and lead (Pb 2+ ) toxicity has not yet been expl...

A Highly-Sensitive Electrode with Tubular Structure for the Detection of AA in Orange Juice

In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) tubular composite electrode was fabricated for the high-sensitivity electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of AA at the composite ele...

Resilient modulus characteristics and model prediction of cement phosphogypsum under dry-wet cycling conditions

The subgrade resilient modulus is a crucial parameter in pavement structure design, directly related to the safety and economy of the pavement structure. Currently, the subgrade resilient modulus used in pavement structure design is the static resilient modulus. To address this i...

Elastic Constants and Related Properties of Ti4AC3 (A = Si, Au, Ir) MAX Phases: A Comparative First-Principles Study

MAX-phase materials exhibit metallic–ceramic properties. The Ti4AC3 (A = Si, Au, Ir) 413-type MAX phases are investigated here using systematic density functional theory to examine structural stability, elastic behavior, mechanical performance, thermal properties, and electronic...

Transcriptomic characteristics of plasma from Chinese ethnic minority patients with major depressive disorder

Ethnic and regional disparities have been observed in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Our previous research revealed metabolic heterogeneity in plasma samples from ethnic minority patients with schizophrenia in Qiandongnan, China. In this study, individuals...

Smart Rubber Composites for Building Structure Monitoring: Laboratory Experiments and Molecular Simulations

Abstract Intelligent sensing technology offers great promise for structural health monitoring (SHM) of building structures. Nevertheless, conventional strain sensors suffer from fragility, low sensitivity, and limitations in real-time monitoring, which have hindered their widespr...
