    Abstract Zeolite-encapsulated metal nanoparticle systems have exhibited interesting catalytic performances via the hydrogen spillover process, yet how to further utilize the function of zeolite supports to promote catalytic properties in such a process is still challenging and has rarely been investigated. Herein, to address this issue, the strategy to strengthen the adsorption energy of reactant onto the zeolite surface via a simple ion exchange method has been implemented. Ion-exchanged linde type A (LTA) zeolite-encapsulated platinum nanoclusters (Pt@NaA, Pt@HA, Pt@KA, and Pt@CaA) were prepared to study the influence of ion exchange on the catalytic performance in the model reaction of hydrogenation of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol. The reaction results showed that the Pt@CaA catalyst exhibited the best catalytic activity in the series of encapsulated catalysts, and the selectivity of 1-phenylethanol approached 100%. As revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and acetophenone temperature-programmed desorption (acetophenone-TPD) experiments, in comparison with introduced cations of Na

    Abstract Uncertainty remains over composting time and maturity degree for compost production. The objectives of this study were to establish maturity indicators for composting based on spectral and chemical components and to provide a reference for future composting management. Several indicators of composting were assessed for three commercial composts at 0, 7, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days during the germination of Chinese cabbage, including (1) central temperature, (2) moisture content, (3) pH, (4) electrical conductivity, (5) C/N ratio, (6) E4/E6 ratio, (7) fluorescence humification index (HIX), and (8) germination index (GI). We evaluated the optimal composting time using these indicators, reflecting the changes in hog manure, chicken manure, and agricultural by-product composts throughout their composting process to provide a basis for maturity time. The results showed that the E4/E6 ratio, C/N ratio, humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA), and germination rate, which reached a stable status after 30 days of composting, could be the indicators of “early-stage” maturity. In contrast, central temperature, electrical conductivity, HIX, and GI reached stable values after 45 days of composting and thus could be more suitable indicators of full maturity. Based on our results, we recommend a minimum composting time of 30 days to achieve primary maturity, while fully matured compost may be obtained after 45 days.

    Abstract Background: Quantification of
    Methods: Herein, we propose a K-means clustering method for accelerated Lorentzian estimation (KALE) in CEST quantification. Briefly, voxels in CEST images are clustered into K groups according to their Z-spectra characteristics. A 'groupwise' fitting process is then performed with preset initial values, yielding a set of fitted spectra and fitted parameters for each group. With the updated initial values, each group is further clustered into subgroups, and groupwise fitting is performed again. This hierarchical K-means clustering and parameter updating process continues until the pixel number or intensity error meets the termination criteria. Voxelwise fitting could be further conducted to improve the quantification images (termed voxel-K) by utilizing the previous groupwise KALE results as the initial values (termed group-K).
    Results: Incorporated with Lorentzian difference (LD) quantification, KALE was first optimized and evaluated on 5 healthy human brain datasets at 3 Tesla. Compared with traditional voxel-by-voxel LD quantification, the computation times of group-K and voxel-K were significantly reduced by ~85% and ~70%, respectively (P<0.001). Furthermore, the group-K images exhibited better denoising performance than traditional LD and voxel-K. KALE was further validated on six ischemic rat brains acquired at 7 Tesla, with both LD_group-K and LD_voxel-K displaying almost identical contrast maps with traditional voxelwise maps. When incorporated with the five-pool Lorentzian fitting (LF), KALE exhibited an improved contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for amplitude maps of each pool [P=0.003, 0.015, 0.047, and 0.047 for amide, nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), magnetic transfer (MT) and guanidine amine, respectively] and improved fitting goodness (P=0.033).
    Conclusions: KALE quantification provides comparable or even superior contrast maps to traditional voxelwise fitting, with significantly reduced computation time. The 'smart' and hierarchical voxel-clustering and parameter updating process of KALE may facilitate more preclinical and clinical CEST applications.

    Abstract Biodegradable plastics (BPs) are a suitable alternative to conventional plastics. Still, their excessive or unplanned use may disrupt the abundance and community structure of the microbial population. To this end, a 58-day experiment in which biodegradable plastic objects, such as bags and boxes, were exposed to near-coastal seawater was conducted. They also assessed how they affected the diversity and organization of bacterial populations in seawater and on the surface of BPs products. It is evident that after the exposure time, both BP's bag and box products deteriorate in the ocean to varying degrees. The results of high-throughput sequencing of bacterial communities in seawater and those colonized on BPs products reveal significant differences in microbial community structures between seawater and BPs plastic samples. These suggest that the degradation of biodegradable plastics is shadowed by microorganisms and exposure time, while BP products influence the structural characteristics of microbial communities.

    Abstract Facing the global water shortage challenge, solar-driven desalination is considered a sustainable technology to obtain freshwater from seawater. However, the trade-off between the salt cycle and heat localization of existing solar evaporators (SE) hinders its further practical applications. Here, inspired by water hyacinth, a self-standing and self-floating 3D SE with adiabatic foam particles and aligned water channels is built through a continuous directional freeze-casting technique. With the help of the heat insulation effect of foam particles and the efficient water transport of aligned water channels, this new SE can cut off the heat transfer from the top photothermal area to the bulk water without affecting the water supply, breaking the long-standing trade-off between salt cycle and heat localization of traditional SEs. Additionally, its self-standing and self-floating features can reduce human maintenance. Its large exposure height can increase evaporation area and collect environmental energy, breaking the long-standing limitation of solar-to-vapor efficiency of conventional SEs. With the novel structure employed, an evaporation flux of 2.25 kg m

    Abstract Background and aims: Emerging evidence suggests a detrimental impact of high red meat intake on hepatic steatosis. We investigated the potential interplay between red meat intake and gut microbiome on circulating levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and hepatic steatosis risk.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a representative sample of 754 community-dwelling adults in Huoshan, China. Diet was collected using 4 quarterly 3 consecutive 24-h dietary (12-day) recalls. We profiled faecal microbiome using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing and quantified serum TMAO and its precursors using LC-tandem MS (n = 333). We detected hepatic steatosis by FibroScan. The adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using logistic regression.
    Results: TMAO levels but not its precursors were positively associated with the likelihood of hepatic steatosis (aOR per 1-SD increment 1.86, 95% CI 1.04-3.32). We identified 14 bacterial genera whose abundance was associated with TMAO concentration (p
    Conclusions: The bacterial genera that predicted TMAO levels may jointly modify the association between red meat intake and TMAO levels and the subsequent risk of hepatic steatosis.

    Abstract Raspberry is used as a medicine food homology species and its polysaccharides are worthy being investigated and developed. In the present study, a novel polysaccharide of unripe raspberry fruits (pRCP) was extracted and characterized. The results show that pRCP was an acidic heteropolysaccharide and its Mw value was 74.86 kDa with a high homogeneity. The main chain of pRCP consisted of → 3,6)-β-Galp(1 → and → 5)-α-Araf(1→, and its side chain was composed of α-Araf(1 → linked to the C3 position of → 3,6)-β-Galp(1 →. In addition, pRCP supplementation increased the gut microbial diversity and reduced harmful bacteria including Erysipelatoclostridium and Negativibacillus in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. Treatment with pRCP also alleviated HFD-induced colonic inflammation and oxidative stress in mice. These beneficial effects can be transferred to recipient mice by faecal microbiota transplantation from pRCP-treated mice. Therefore, our study suggests that pRCP could be used as a potential prebiotics to improve intestinal health by modulating the gut microbiota.
