Abstract Regenerated cellulose (RC), derived from natural cellulose through dissolution and regeneration processes, has emerged as a sustainable, versatile, and cost-effective material for advanced electronic devices. With unique hierarchical structures, abundant hydroxy groups,...

Fragment-Specific Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis for Screening the Authenticity of Red Yeast Rice Products

Monacolin K (MK) in red yeast rice (RYR) is structurally identical to pharmaceutical lovastatin in its lactone form, making their origins difficult to distinguish. This study examined the δ13C value of hydrolysis-derived 2-methylbutyric acid (2-MBA) as a fragment-specific screeni...

Detection of Hydrogen Spillover Over Pt Catalysts Supported on UiO‐66‐NO 2 Under Practical Conditions and the Corresponding Ligand Effect

The existence and the roles of hydrogen spillover in heterogeneous catalysts under practical conditions are still under debate. This is particularly true for metal catalysts supported on metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we prepared a Pt/UiO‐66‐NO 2 catalyst and a Pt/UiO‐66‐...

Metal‐Free Synthesis of α,ω‐Dihydroxy Low‐Molecular‐Weight Poly(2,6‐Dimethyl‐1,4‐Phenylene Oxide) via Amine‐Catalyzed Redistribution

ABSTRACT Although poly (2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) (PPO) is a promising dielectric material, the conventionally produced PPO inevitably contains Cu(I) residues, which constrain its dielectric performances. In this work, a fully metal‐free route to prepare α,ω‐dihydroxy low...

Data and code for "The hidden trophic architecture of marine protist turnover across ocean depths"

This repository contains the source data, analysis-ready datasets, trophic annotations and R code associated with the manuscript “The hidden trophic architecture of marine protist turnover across ocean depths.” It includes data from the Bay of Bengal, western Pacific Ocean and Ta...

Efficient Freshness Assessment of Aged Wheat Based on Changes in the Lipase and Catalase Activities: Characterization and Molecular Basis

Wheat is prone to lipid oxidation and rancidity during long-term storage. This study determined the fatty acid values and malondialdehyde content of wheat stored for two to six years; these values increased from 17.29 mg/100 g and 1.57 mg/kg to 29.74 mg/100 g and 1.78 mg/kg, resp...

Preparation of Tea Polyphenol‐Enhanced Whey Protein Isolate/Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Composite Films and Their Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties

ABSTRACT Biodegradable composite films are prepared using whey protein isolate (WPI) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC‐Na) as matrices, with tea polyphenols (TP) incorporated into the composite matrix. The incorporation of TP significantly enhances the ultraviolet (UV) barr...

Ce/Mn-MOF with Multiple Enzyme-Mimetic Activities Enables the Alleviation of Plant Saline-Alkali Stress

Abstract Saline-alkali stress impairs plant growth via ROS overaccumulation, while MOF nanozymes offer a promising redox-regulation strategy. In this study, a Ce/Mn-MOF nanozyme was synthesized via a solvothermal method through a bimetallic doping strategy. The reversible valence...

Interactions Among Three‐Tier Factors of Community Safety Resilience: A Dual‐Perspective Analysis

ABSTRACT Enhancing community safety resilience (CSR) is critical for sustainable urban development. Disregarding the complex interactions among CSR factors may cause imbalanced resilience building, limiting a community's capacity to respond to uncertain disasters. This study aims...

Lean-burn stability and thermal efficiency of a high-compression SI engine using late direct water injection and multi-coil ignition

Lean operation in high-compression spark-ignition engines is constrained by the competing requirements of knock suppression and combustion stability. Direct water injection (DWI) provides an effective means of increasing knock tolerance, but its influence on combustion depends st...

Reproducibility of Colloidal Lignin Particle Preparation: An Interlaboratory Evaluation

Abstract The reproducibility of the preparation of colloidal lignin particles (CLPs) was evaluated through a coordinated interlaboratory study involving seven independent research groups from around the world. The objective was to assess the robustness of the anti-solvent precipi...

Pathological mechanisms of long non-coding RNA FOXD2-AS1 promoting osteosarcoma mediated by the COI-1/OCN/Runx-2 signaling pathway

Introduction Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Despite three decades of research efforts, no significant improvement in patient survival rates has been achieved, highlighting the urgent need for in-depth investigation i...

Rewiring lysosomal redox homeostasis for ferroptosis-amplified sonodynamic cancer therapy

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising ROS-mediated antitumor strategy, yet its therapeutic efficacy is frequently restricted by intracellular antioxidant defenses and insufficient ferroptotic amplification. Herein, we developed a multi-stimuli-responsive metal-organic framewor...

Extrapolative Prediction of Propagation Rate Coefficient in Free-Radical Polymerization Based on kp (T, NI)-QSPR Model

This work assesses the extrapolation performance of the kp (T, NI)-QSPR model for free-radical polymerization. Although QSPR models often achieve high interpolation accuracy, their reliability for predicting beyond the training domain, a situation common in monomer reactivity exp...

Simulated Removal of Radioactive Co2+ and 14C-Containing Organic Pollutants by in Situ-Synthesized ZIF-67

Abstract The coexistence of radioactive Co2+ and 14C-containing organic pollutants in nuclear wastewater causes mutual interference that hinders conventional treatment. In this study, ZIF-67-R18 was synthesized in a pure water system without surfactants or organic solvents under...

Directional Construction of a Synthetic Microbial Consortium for Shanxi Aged Vinegar: Metabolic Kinetics and Accelerated Formation of Major Volatile Compounds

The Daqu used in the alcoholic fermentation of Shanxi aged vinegar (SAV) is technologically related to the medium-temperature Daqu used for Baijiu production, but variation in vinegar Daqu quality can lead to unstable saccharification, alcoholic fermentation and aroma formation....
