- Abstract
1,4-Dienes are important scaffolds widely used in natural products and medicinal compounds. Herein, we report a highly efficient method for the straightforward synthesis of 1,4-dienes viaregio- and stereoselective reductive coupling of alkynes and allenes, catalyzed by visible-light photoredox cobalt. In contrast to the conventional E-alkene products, both (Z,E)-and (E,E)-1,4-dienes were synthesized with good regio- and stereoselectivities under mild conditions. In this photoredox reaction, Hünig’s base and water were utilized as hydrogen sources instead of the commonly used Hantzsch esters. The mechanistic and density functional theory studies indicate that the reaction undergoes protolysis of a cobaltacyclopentene intermediate and photocatalytic E→Zisomerization of (E,E)-1,4-dienes to (Z,E)-1,4-dienes viaan energy transfer process.

- Abstract
This research explores the potential of energy storage investment with a focus on regional power users. An incentive-based demand response framework is constructed, emphasizing the aggregation of demand-side resources for active participation in the power market. Utilizing a data-driven approach, the improved Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model is employed to predict customer behavior in response to incentives. The primary objective is to maximize the life cycle benefit while minimizing the payback period for users investing in energy storage. By harnessing big data analytics, suitable users for energy storage investment are identified and optimal capacity allocation is determined. Given the current energy storage parameters and dynamics of electricity pricing, boundary values for profitable user energy storage capacities are derived. This methodology filters users with capacities exceeding these thresholds, marking them as potential candidates for energy storage deployment. Furthermore, a measurement model for iron phosphate batteries is introduced. Analysis of adjustable resource capacity, duration, and benefits for potential users provides insights into optimal energy storage investment strategies. Integrating configured energy storage batteries with time-of-use tariffs substantially reduces energy storage costs, leading to enhanced economic efficiency.

- Abstract
Heavy ingots, especially the ingot of more than 10 t, often contain detrimental heterogeneous defects, such as macrosegregation, shrinkage pipes, and cracks. Hot-top pulsed magneto-oscillation (HPMO) can refine the solidified structure of ingot and improve their homogeneity. However, it may exacerbate the positive segregation at the upper part of the ingot body. Thus, a round table HPMO riser with a feeding part was designed, and the microstructure and macrosegregation of Al–Si alloy ingots solidified with and without HPMO were investigated. The simulation and experimental results indicated that round table HPMO riser could enable fine and uniform solidified structures in the whole ingot body; in the meantime, feeding part allowed the melt with enriched solute to gather in the upper part of the riser until the last solidification stage of ingot. This provides an effective approach for obtaining highly homogenized ingots.

Petrochemical wastewater contains a high concentration of refractory aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Bioremediation of these hazardous materials using autochthonous bioaugmentation (ABA) strategy is attracting increasing interest. Herein, an indigenous biosurfactant-producing bacteria Z11 was isolated and identified as Enterobacte r sp. The reintroduction of Z11 into petrochemical wastewater led to a substantial reduction (P < 0.01) in TPHs, decreasing from 8099 to 1723 mg/L, as well as a significant decrease in COD, decreasing from 8064.2 to 1689.2 mg/L. At a critical micelle concentration of 200 mg/L, the biosurfactant synthesized by Z11 exhibited an extraordinary decrease in surface tension from 67.5 to 29 mN/m. The biosurfactant demonstrated favorable surface activity over a wide pH, temperature, and salinity range. Based on a series of chemical analyses, the biosurfactant was classified as phospholipid. The autochthonous bioaugmentation technique developed by Z11 indicated a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the degradation of n-alkanes of varying chain lengths and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The analysis of the microbial composition demonstrated that the addition of Z11 caused a rise in bacterial populations capable of hydrocarbon decomposition, such as Pseudomonas sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp. The activities of two enzymes involved in degradation, alkane hydroxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase, increased dramatically and showed a significant (P < 0.05) correlation with Enterobacter sp. Z11. The proposed mechanism could be elucidated that functional genes regulate the secretion of biodegradation enzymes and biosurfactants to promote the deep degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. This study provides technical support for the reintroduction of autochthonous microorganisms capable of producing biosurfactants in implementing in situ ABA strategies. [Display omitted] • The biosurfactant produced by Z11 exhibited superior stability and surface activity. • The inoculation of strain Z11 triggered and accelerated oil degradation process. • The addition of Z11 increased the hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial populations. • The reintroduction of Z11 enhanced the activity of bacteria and enzymes. • The proposed mechanism of autochthonous bioaugmentation strategy was elucidated.

- Abstract
Aero-engine hollow turbine blades are work under prolonged high temperature, requiring high dimensional accuracy. Blade profile and wall thickness are important parameters to ensure the comprehensive performance of blades, which need to be measured accurately during manufacturing process. In this study, a high accuracy industrial computed tomography (ICT) measuring method was developed based on standard cylindrical pin and ring workpieces of different sizes. Combining ICT with cubic spline interpolation, a sub-pixel accuracy was achieved in measuring the dimension of component. Compared with the traditional and whole-pixel level image measurement method, the cubic spline interpolation algorithm has the advantages of high accuracy in image edge detection and thus high accuracy of dimensional measurement. Further, the technique was employed to measure the profile and wall thickness of a typical aerospace engine turbine blade, and an accuracy higher than 0.015 mm was obtained.

- Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the effects of taurine supplementation on feed intake, growth, feed utilization, body composition, waste output, hepatic antioxidant enzymes, and intestinal microflora of Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoidesthat were fed a low fish meal diet. Three isoproteic (49% crude protein) and isolipidic (9.5% crude lipid) diets were formulated: one diet contained 40% fish meal and served as the control (FM diet), and 60% of the fish meal in the FM diet was replaced by soybean meal either without taurine supplementation (SBM diet) or with 0.5% taurine supplementation (SBM+T diet). Lower feed intake, final body weight, weight gain, condition factor, and hepatosomatic index and a higher feed conversion ratio (FCR) were found in fish that received the SBM diet compared to fish that were fed the FM diet, but no significant difference was found in feed intake, final body weight, weight gain, FCR, condition factor, or hepatosomatic index between fish in the FM and SBM+T diet groups. No significant differences were found in nitrogen retention efficiency, body composition, nitrogen waste, or activities of total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase among fish fed the different test diets, and the alpha diversity of intestinal microbiota also did not differ among diet groups. The abundance of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes increased while the abundance of Fusobacteria decreased in the SBM diet group relative to the FM diet group; in contrast, dietary taurine (SBM+T diet) restored the abundance of Proteobacteria to a level similar to that in fish receiving the FM diet. This study suggests that the dietary fish meal level for Largemouth Bass can be reduced from 40% to 16% if soybean meal is used as an alternative protein with 0.5% taurine supplementation.

- Abstract
Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) films were synthesized by heat treatment of a Si/Mo/Si and Mo/Si sample systems at different temperatures in air. The onset temperature of MoSi2formation started from 350 ℃ and continued to 900 ℃ for both systems. Diffusion of Si into Mo in the Mo/Si system occurs at the same time and MoSi2forms. MoO3forms at 350 ℃ and evaporates off the film surface at 500 ℃, leading to a mass loss of Mo in the Mo–Si–O system. An impervious SiOxlayer is formed on the film surface at 600 ℃ and higher, preventing further oxidation of the film and facilitating the formation of MoSi within an oxygen-free environment. The Si cover layer in the Si/Mo/Si system prevents the outside O in air diffusing into the film and the Mo evaporating off the film until 900 ℃. The thermally driven diffusion mechanism is discussed.

- Abstract
An important step of somatic variant calling algorithms for deep sequencing data is quantifying the errors. For targeted sequencing in which hotspot mutations are of interest, site-specific error estimation allows more accurate calling. The site-specific error rates are often estimated from a panel of normal samples, which has limited size and is subject to sampling bias and variance. We propose a novel statistical validation method for single-nucleotide variation (SNV) calling based on historical data. The validation method extracts the high-quality reads from the Binary Alignment/Map (BAM) files, finds the negative samples in the data, and builds a statistical model to call individual samples. It is particularly useful in detecting low-frequency variants that may be missed by traditional panel of normal–based SNV methods. The proposed method makes it possible to launch a simple and parallel validation pipeline for SNV calling and improve the detection limit.

- Abstract
The recrystallization behaviors of a nickel-based single crystal superalloy during heat treatment at 1,200 °C for 4 h with various cooling rates were studied. Results show that the thickness of recrystallization layer decreases with the increase of cooling rate. In addition, the microstructures of γ′ phase in the recrystallization region are different in various cooling rates. In the high cooling rates (70, 100 °C·min−1), small size and high volume fraction of γ′ phases are formed in the recrystallization region. It is also found that irregular fine secondary γ′ phases are precipitated between matrix channels with an average size of 150 nm in the original matric (100 °C·min−1). The sizes of the secondary γ′ phase decrease with the increase of cooling rate. In contrast, large size and small volume fraction of γ′ phases are formed in the recrystallization region, and a grain boundary layer is formed under a low cooling rate (10 °C·minγ−1). The evolution mechanism of recrystallization at various cooling rates during heat treatment is analyzed.

- Abstract
Under the dual-carbon goal of achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the Integrated Energy System (IES) enhances the power sector's environmental sustainability by integrating multiple energy sources. To enhance the low-carbon utilization of IES energy, this paper introduces an economic optimization model that incorporates stepwise carbon trading and both source and load-side resources. Initially, the model integrates a Concentrated Solar Power Plant (CSPP) with a Combined Heating and Power (CHP) unit for bidirectional electricity-heat conversion, and incorporates Power to Gas (P2G) and Carbon Capture System (CCS) for carbon recycling within the IES. On the demand side, demand response optimizes the electricity-heat load curve. Subsequently, a stepped carbon trading mechanism guides the system in controlling carbon emissions and constructing a carbon emission model. Finally, the model minimizes the sum of energy purchase costs, carbon transaction costs, demand response compensation costs, wind curtailment penalties, and equipment maintenance costs to optimize the IES economically. By establishing five scenarios for comparative analysis, incorporating CSPP, P2G-CCS, demand response, and a stepped carbon trading mechanism reduces system costs, carbon emissions, and abandonment rates by 21.1%, 30.87%, and 23.78%, respectively, validating the model's effectiveness in promoting a low-carbon economy.

- Abstract
Autophagy can protect stressed cancer cell by degradation of damaged proteins and organelles. However, the regulatory mechanisms behind this cellular process remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that RSK2 (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2) plays a critical role in ER stress-induced autophagy in breast cancer cells. We demonstrated that the promotive effect of RSK2 on autophagy resulted from directly binding of AMPKα2 in nucleus and phosphorylating it at Thr172 residue. IRE1α, an ER membrane-associated protein mediating unfolded protein response (UPR), is required for transducing the signal for activation of ERK1/2-RSK2 under ER stress. Suppression of autophagy by knockdown of RSK2 enhanced the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to ER stress both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrated that inhibition of RSK2-mediated autophagy rendered breast cancer cells more sensitive to paclitaxel, a chemotherapeutic agent that induces ER stress-mediated cell death. This study identifies RSK2 as a novel controller of autophagy in tumor cells and suggests that targeting RSK2 can be exploited as an approach to reinforce the efficacy of ER stress-inducing agents against cancer.

- Abstract
Temozolomide (TMZ) insensitivity and resistance are major causes of treatment failure and poor prognosis for GBM patients. Here, we identify LRRC4 as a novel autophagy inhibitor that restores the sensitivity of GBMs to TMZ. LRRC4 was associated with the DEPTOR/mTOR complex, and this interaction resulted in autophagy inhibition. Further investigation demonstrated that the PDZ binding domain of LRRC4 binds to the PDZ domain of DEPTOR. This binding decreases the half-life of DEPTOR via ubiquitination, thus inhibiting GBM cell autophagy and increasing the TMZ treatment response of GBM. Combined LRRC4 expression and TMZ treatment prolonged the survival of mice with tumour xenografts. Furthermore, the levels of LRRC4, DEPTOR and autophagy are clinically relevant for GBM, indicating that LRRC4 is likely to have significant potential as a therapeutic marker and target for TMZ treatment in glioma patients.

- Abstract
Migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is pivotal for vascular remodeling in hypertension. Vascular adventitial fibroblasts (AFs) are important in the homeostasis of vascular structure. This study is designed to investigate the roles of AF exosomes (AFE) in VSMC migration and underling mechanism. Primary VSMCs and AFs were obtained from the aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. VSMC migration was evaluated with Boyden chamber assay and wound healing assay. AFE from WKY rats and SHR were isolated and identified. AFE from SHR promoted but AFE from WKY rats had no significant effect on VSMC migration. The effects of AFE on VSMC migration were prevented by an exosome inhibitor GW4869, an AT1R (Ang II [angiotensin II] type 1 receptor) antagonist losartan, or an inhibitor of ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) captopril. ACE contents and activity were much higher in AFE from SHR than those from WKY rats. There were no significant difference in Ang II and AT1R mRNA and protein levels between AFE from SHR and AFE from WKY rats. AFE from SHR increased Ang II and ACE contents and ACE activity in VSMCs of WKY rats and SHR. The changes of Ang II contents and ACE activity were prevented by captopril. ACE knockdown in AFs reduced ACE contents and activity in AFE from SHR and inhibited AFE-induced migration of VSMCs of WKY rats and those of SHR. These results indicate that exosomes from AFs of SHR transfer ACE to VSMCs, which increases Ang II levels and activates AT1R in VSMCs and thereby promotes VSMC migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is widely used in multi-sensor data fusion. However, how to manage the counterintuitive result generated by the highly conflicting evidence remains an open question. To solve the problem, a novel multi-sensor data fusion method is proposed, which analyses the credibility of evidence from both the discrepancy between evidences and the factors of evidence itself. Firstly, a new Belief Kullback–Leibler divergence is put forward, which evaluates the credibility of evidence from the discrepancy between evidences. Secondly, another credibility measure called the Probability Transformation Belief Factor is defined, which assesses the credibility of evidence from the evidence itself. These two credibilities are combined as the comprehensive credibility of evidence. Furthermore, considering the uncertainty of evidence, a new belief entropy based on the cross-information within the evidence is presented, which is applied to quantify the information volume of evidence and to adjust the comprehensive credibility of evidence. The adjusted comprehensive credibility is regarded as the final weight to modify the body of evidence. Finally, the Dempster's combination rule is applied for fusion. Experiment and applications show that the proposed method is effective and superior. • A new credibility assessment model is constructed. • The BKL divergence and the PTBF are defined to measure the credibility of evidence. • The H BP entropy is defined to measure the information volume of evidence. • A new multi-sensor data fusion method is proposed.

- Abstract
Ectopic epigenetic mechanisms play important roles in facilitating tumorigenesis. Here, we first demonstrated that ANKDD1A is a functional tumor suppressor gene, especially in the hypoxia microenvironment. ANKDD1A directly interacts with FIH1 and inhibits the transcriptional activity of HIF1α by upregulating FIH1. In addition, ANKDD1A decreases the half-life of HIF1α by upregulating FIH1, decreases glucose uptake and lactate production, inhibits glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) autophagy, and induces apoptosis in GBM cells under hypoxia. Moreover, ANKDD1A is highly frequently methylated in GBM. The tumor-specific methylation of ANKDD1A indicates that it could be used as a potential epigenetic biomarker as well as a possible therapeutic target.

- Abstract
Using both numerical and experimental methods, we studied the effect of coil configuration of pulsed magneto-oscillation (PMO) on distribution of electromagnetic field, flow field and solidification structure with the same pulse current parameters in Al ingots. We designed and constructed three types of coils: surface pulsed magneto-oscillation, hot-top pulsed magneto-oscillation (HPMO) and combined pulsed magneto-oscillation (CPMO). PMO treatment refined the solidification structure in all the ingots. The configuration of the PMO, however, introduced differences in magnetic field intensity, electromagnetic force, Joule heat, flow field, equiaxed grain zone, grain size and growth direction of columnar grains. The largest equiaxed grain zone was found in CPMO treated ingot, and the smallest grain size was found in both HPMO and CPMO treated ingots. Numerical simulation indicated that difference in electromagnetic field and flow field resulted in differences in solidification structure. HPMO is more advantageous over others for large ingot production.

- Abstract
To control the distribution of nonmetallic inclusions in molten steel is of highly commercial importance. A newly developed method, hot-top pulsed magneto-oscillation (HPMO), was employed to control nonmetallic inclusions in a medium-carbon steel ingot. The experimental results present that the position of nonmetallic inclusions of spinel (Al–Mg–O) and Mn–S inclusions is significantly influenced by HPMO. The number of nonmetallic inclusions gradually increased from the lateral wall to the center of ingot along the radial direction under the impact of HPMO treatment, whereas this distribution trend cannot be observed in the reference sample without HPMO treatment. In addition, the number of inclusions along vertical direction is proportional to the height of ingot, especially for the inclusions with the size of larger than 10 μm. It indicates that the application of HPMO can push away inclusions from lateral to center, and then the expelled inclusions aggregate and rise up to the top of ingot.

- Abstract
Solidification process of 231 t 30Cr2Ni4MoV ingot manufactured by slow cooling process was studied using experimental and numerical simulations, which tackled the problems of high cost and long period in large ingot studying. Based on the numerical results of large ingot, five characteristic locations under different temperature gradients and cooling rates chosen from the large ingot were simulated. The experiments were performed under the same temperature conditions as in numerical simulations with specialized instrument. The influences of temperature gradient in the solid–liquid interface and solidification rate on the size and morphology of solidification structure were analyzed at cooling rate ranging from 10−3to 10−2°C s−1. Solidification macrostructure and microstructure showed that no columnar dendrite was found in any specimen. The grain size and secondary dendrite arm spacing decreased at larger cooling rate, and the relationship between secondary dendrite arm spacing and local solidification time or cooling rate was determined.

The microstructures with various morphologies were fabricated in water or anhydrous ethanol by using polyvinylpyrrolidone and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as surfactants. ZnO rods with aspect ratios up to 30 have been created successfully in water through a hydrothermal process, while novel shuttle-like ZnO microstructures were fabricated in anhydrous ethanol using a similar procedure. ZnO rods revealed wurtzite-type crystal structure according to their X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The morphologies of ZnO microstructures were adjusted conveniently by changing solvents and surfactants. In addition, the sizes of ZnO microstructures decreased under a long reaction time. This morphological evolution of ZnO microstructures indicated that the growth of ZnO is susceptive to reaction time due to the reaction between ZnO and aqueous ammonia. The facile strategy described here would be utilizable for the preparation of various metal oxide microstructures.

- Abstract
In view of the severity of oceanic pollution, based on the finite volume coastal ocean model (FVCOM), a Lagrangian particle-tracking model was used to numerically investigate the coastal pollution transport and water exchange capability in Tangdao Bay, in China. The severe pollution in the bay was numerically simulated by releasing and tracking particles inside it. The simulation results demonstrate that the water exchange capability in the bay is very low. Once the bay has suffered pollution, a long period will be required before the environment can purify itself. In order to eliminate or at least reduce the pollution level, environmental improvement measures have been proposed to enhance the seawater exchange capability and speed up the water purification inside the bay. The study findings presented in this paper are believed to be instructive and useful for future environmental policy makers and it is also anticipated that the numerical model in this paper can serve as an effective technological tool to study many emerging coastal environment problems.

Liu, Huan, Xuan, Wei Dong, Ren, Xing Fu, Wang, Bao Jun, Yu, Jian Bo, and Ren, Zhong Ming
- Abstract
The effect of a 6T high magnetic field on the microstructure of directionally solidified NiAl-Cr (Mo)-Si near-eutectic alloy was investigated at the withdrawal rates of 2, 10 and 50 μm/s. The results showed that the microstructure evolved from planar eutectic to primary NiAl dendrites + cellular eutectic and then to dendritic eutectic with the increasing withdrawal rate. When the magnetic field was imposed, the well-aligned eutectic lamellae were disturbed and transformed into a wavy one at 2 μm/s. When the withdrawal rate increased to 10 μm/s, the application of the magnetic field destroyed the primary NiAl dendrite array and caused the occurrence of columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) of the NiAl dendrites. The volume fraction of primary dendrites also decreased. In addition, the width of intercellular/interdendritic regions decreased in cellular/dendritic eutectic structures when directionally solidified under the magnetic field. The above results should be attributed to the combined action of the thermoelectric magnetic force and the thermoelectric magnetic convection.

- Abstract
Mikania micranthais a fast-growing global invasive weed species that causes severe damage to natural ecosystems and very large economic losses of forest and crop production. It has advantages in photosynthesis, including a similar net photosynthetic rate as C4plants and a higher carbon fixation capacity. We used a combination of genomics and transcriptomics approaches to study the evolutionary mechanisms and circadian expression patterns of M. micrantha. In M. micrantha, 16 positive selection genes focused on photoreaction and utilization of photoassimilates. In different tissues, 98.1% of the genes associated with photoresponse had high expression in stems, and more than half of the genes of the C4cycle had higher expression in stems than in leaves. In stomatal opening and closing, 2 genes of carbonic anhydrase (CAs) had higher expression at 18:00 than at 8:00, and the slow anion channel 1 (SLAC1) and high-leaf-temperature 1 kinase (HT1) genes were expressed at low levels at 18:00. In addition, genes associated with photosynthesis had higher expression levels at 7:00 and 17:00. We hypothesized that M. micranthamay undergo photosynthesis in the stem and flower organs and that some stomata of the leaves were opening at night by CO2signals. In addition, its evolution may attenuate photoinhibition at high light intensities, and enhance more efficient of photosynthesis during low light intensity. And the tissue-specific photosynthetic types and different diurnal pattern of photosynthetic-related genes may contribute to its rapid colonization of new habitats of M. micrantha.

Chen, Hao, Ren, Xing Run, Zhang, Xue Hui, and Li, Jin Hui
- Abstract
Electroplating Ni-W coatings have been prepared on medium carbon steel substrate by using nickel sulphate and sodium tungstate as precursors. The microstructures, phase compositions and performances of the as-prepared coatings were analyzed by SEM, EDS, AFM, XRD, microhardness tester and wear tester, respectively. The surface morphologies after wearing were observed and the wear mechanism was discussed. The corrosion behaviors of the coatings before and after heat-treatments were evaluated by anodic polarization in 3.5% sodium chloride solution. The results show that no obvious flaws could be found in the Ni-W alloy coatings and there was a good bond with the matrix. The microhardness of the coatings increased with increasing heat treatment temperature, reaching its maximum value for heat treatment at 500°C, and then droped down. Wear resistance of the coatings was found to be better than that of 16 Mn steel and the heat treatment improved the hardness and wear resistance. The corrosion resistance of the heat-treated coatings increased with increasing the annealing temperature, and best corrosion resistance could be obtained at the temperature of 500°C.

- Abstract
A novel restricted-access media molecularly imprinted magnetic microsphere (RAM-MIMM) was prepared by an initiator-transfer agent-terminator (iniferter) method. The iniferter was synthesized by coating magnetic nanoparticles with silica-gel, modifying them with an amino-group and reacting with 4-(chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. The molecularly imprinted magnetic microsphere (MIMM) was prepared using florfenicol (FF) as the template, itaconic acid (ITA) as the functional monomer, ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross-linker, and the iniferter as the surface initiator in anhydrous ethanol solvent. The hydrophilic external layer of the MIMM was formed by iniferter polymerization using glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as monomer, followed by hydrolysis of the linear poly(GMA). The obtained RAM-MIMMs were characterized by TEM, TGA, FT-IR and adsorption experiments. The Fe3O4magnetic microspheres were demonstrated to have average diameters around 230 nm and coating thicknesses in the range 20–30 nm. The RAM-MIMMs exhibited high selectivity (1.68) with respect to the imprinted cavities and a hydrophilic external surface with water compatibility and exclusion biomacromolecules. The RAM-MIMMs were used for magnetic dispersion extraction of FF from milk samples. Average recoveries were in the range 85.4–94.7% with a precision of 2.95–4.97%. The limits of detection and quantitation of the proposed method were in the ranges 4.40–18.31 μg kg−1and 14.66–61.02 μg kg−1, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to fast clean-up and selective enrichment of florfenicol in milk.

This study investigated the effect of prolonged high intensity exercise training on immune function of red blood cells and white blood cells. In addition, the effect of nutritional supplementation with the herb Hong Jing Tian (tibetan rhodiola) on immune function of red blood cells and white blood cells was tested. 27 sprague-dawley male rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: a control group (C), a trained group (T), and a trained group with herbal supplementation. (TH). Groups T and TH completed treadmill running training at a high intensity for 8 weeks. During the first week, rats were exercised at 15 m/min for 10 min/day to familiarize them with the protocol. From the second week, running speed was initially set at 20 m/min for 10 min. Run speed and duration were gradually increased until training bouts of 30 m/min and 90 min run time were reached. This run speed and duration were maintained through the eight-week training period. Blood samples were collected in the morning after training and at least 24 hours after the training. The rosette formation rates of red blood cells CR1 (%), a measure of the immune function of red-blood-cells, were 13.71±3.55 in C, 4.22±1.39 in T and 9.91±2.39 in TH. There were significant differences between the rates in groups C and T (p<0.01), between the rates in groups C and TH (p<0.05), and between the rates in groups T and TH (p<0.01). The migration indexes of white blood cells were 0.76±0.07 in C, 1.09±0.12 in T and 0.74±0.05 in TH, and the changes in white blood cell migration indexes significantly correlated with the changes in rosette formation rates of red blood cell CR1 (r = -068 p<0.01). The results indicate that immune adherent function of red blood cells is inhibited remarkably by prolonged heavy exercise training. There is a high correlation between the changes in immune functions of red blood cells and white blood cells. Hong Jing Tian, however, can minimize the adverse effect of prolonged heavy exercise training on immune function of red blood cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
PbTe nanocrystals (NCs) have been synthesized by a novel method at low temperature. Pb acetate being solved in glycerol and Te in TOP solution were used as the precursors for the preparation of PbTe nanocrystals. The as-prepared products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UVvis absorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These data, together with analysis of the absorption spectra, allowed us to observe the size dependence of the peaks in the absorption spectrum. The size-dependent optical spectra of the PbTe nanocrystals exhibits wide tunable band gap energies varying from UV visible range to near IR region, which corresponds to a huge blue shift of 3.0 eV in comparison to the bulk counterpart. Keywords: 1. PbTe nanocrystals, 2. optical properties, 3. wide tunable band gap, 4. microstructure

- Abstract
To reduce the adhesion of blood cells to the pyrolytic carbon surface of heart valve prosthesis, pyrolytic carbon is utilized as the foundation material for the realization of surface super-hydrophobicity. In this process, 10% PVP in concentration is used as the raw material and netted fiber film is textured on the surface of pyrolytic carbon material via electrostatic spinning method at the voltage of 12KV. The experiment results show that the contact angle of the pyrolytic carbon surface amounts to 154o after electrostatic spinning treatment and many porous structures are formed on the fiber film. The conclusion is thus reached that fiber film featured by super-hydrophobicity is attributable to the inability to fill the fiber meshes of liquid drops, which retain the air beneath and then give rise to this super-hydrophobic feature.

- Abstract
n order to reduce the adherence of platelets to the pyrolytic carbon surface of cardiac valve prosthesis, micro patterns are textured on the surface by nanosecond laser. As the basement, the textured pyrolytic carbon then reacts with formamide and zinc by hydrothermal method for preparation of globular ZnO film. In the process, the formamide concentration should be 10%, temperature at 70°C and the time lasts for 24 hours. Subsequently, scanning electron microscope (SEM) is employed for observation of its characteristics and morphologies and Optical Contact Angle Measuring Device (OCA) for measurement of contact angles. The experimental results indicate that the ZnO film produced on the textured pyrolytic carbon surface is a globular structure, similar to dandelions and the contact angle with super-hydrophobicity feature is 155 o. So it is concluded that globular ZnO film makes the rough pyrolytic carbon surface endowed with the characteristic of super-hydrophobicity.

- Abstract
The solid-state graphitization process of spherical graphite iron after electropulsing pretreatment was observed in-situ by using a high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscope (HTCSLM). The influence of electropulsing pretreatment on the decomposition of cementite and the formation of graphite during the solid-state graphitization was studied. The result indicates that the electropulsing pretreatment can accelerate the decomposition of cementite, and make more neonatal graphite in small size be formed near the cementite. The neonatal graphite nucleates and grows chiefly at the temperature range of 800 to 850 °C, and the average growth rate of neonatal graphite is 0.034 μm2/s during the heating process. For the spherical graphite iron after normal and electropulsing pretreatment, the decomposition rate of cementite during the heating process is 0.16 and 0.24 μm2/s, respectively. Analysis shows that the electropulsing pretreatment promotes the dislocation accumulation near the cementite, consequently, the decomposition of cementite and the formation of neonatal graphite is accelerated during the solid-state graphitization.

As a sequel to the study in determining the permeability of the porous media composed of obstacles of different sizes, exhaustive numerical calculations were conducted using the same two-dimensional numerical models of square rods as in the previous study. The models consist of collections of square rod obstacles of two-, three-, four- and five-different sizes. Computations were carried out to reveal the details of microscopic velocity and pressure fields. There results are integrated to find the macroscopic pressure gradients for collections of multi-sized obstacles. The Ergun type general formula has been proposed along with a definition of an effective average size, which, when substituted into the formula, yields a reasonable estimate for the macroscopic pressure drops in multi-sized obstacles.
