A novel multi-signal functional material consisting of Hematin, Fe, and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) was successfully constructed (Hematin@Fe/GMP) to enhance denitrification efficiency based on the signal network regulation of electron transfer, micromolar Fe utilization, and microbial community. Hematin@Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate reduction rate by 2.33-fol ...

In this study, a functionally stable insoluble Cu/Fe nanoparticles (Cu/Fe NPs) were synthesized and applied denitrification with different contaminants. The results showed that 50 mg/L Cu/Fe NPs increased NO3--N reduction rate up to 14.3 mg/(L·h) about 3 folds compared with the control system (4.7 mg/(L·h)), and Cu/Fe NPs exhibited excellent restorative e ...

A novel functional nanomaterial composed of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and Fe enhanced denitrification efficiency by regulating electron transfer and microbial community. Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate (NO3-) degradation rates by 3.00-fold in serum vial batch experiments, with a rate constant of 17.39 mg/(L·h) in sequencing batch reactor. Fe/GMP-mediated inte ...

Photosystem I (PSI) is one of the two main pigment-protein complexes where the primary steps of oxygenic photosynthesis take place. This review describes low-temperature frequency-domain experiments (absorption, emission, circular dichroism, resonant and non-resonant hole-burned spectra) and modeling efforts reported for PSI in recent years. In particular ...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an attractive strategy to convert solar energy to hydrogen. However, the lifetime of PEC devices is restricted by the photocorrosion of semiconductors and the instability of co-catalysts. Herein, we report a feasible in situ inherent cross-linking method for stabilizing semiconductors that uses a CoFe-disperse ...

Molecular p-dopants designed to undergo electron transfer with organic semiconductors are typically planar molecules with high electron affinity. However, their planarity can promote the formation of ground-state charge transfer complexes with the semiconductor host and results in fractional inst ...

Microscopic analysis of breast cancer images is the primary task in diagnosing cancer malignancy. Recent attempts to automate this task have employed deep learning models whose success has depended on large volumes of data, while acquiring annotated data in biomedical domains is time-consuming and may not always be feasible. A typical strategy to address ...

The sugar moieties of many glycosylated small molecule natural products are essential for their biological activity. Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the enzymes responsible for installing these sugar moieties on a variety of biomolecules. Several GTs that are active on natural products are inherently substrate-promiscuous and thus serve as useful tools in ...

Purpose: Collateral evaluation is typically done using visual inspection of cerebral images and thus suffers from intra- and inter-rater variability. Large open databases of ischemic stroke patients are rare, limiting the use of deep learning methods in treatment decision-making.
Methods: We adapted a pre-trained Eff ...

Lanthanide-doped metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) have versatile luminescence properties, however it is challenging to achieve lanthanide-based upconversion luminescence in these materials. Here, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) and trivalent Yb3+ ions were used to generate crystalline Yb-BTC MOF 1D-microrods with upconversion luminescence under ne ...
