    Abstract Segregated conductive polymer composites exhibit excellent electrical properties with a low percolation threshold. However, the mechanical properties of the segregated conductive polymer composites were always poor because the conductive fillers at the interfaces hinder polymer chain diffusion and thus lead to weak interfacial interaction between the conductive fillers and the polymer matrix. In this paper, polyamide-6 and polyamide-612 microspheres were synthesized via the in situ anionic ring opening of caprolactam and laurolactam. Segregated graphite sheets/polyamide-6(GS/PA6) and polyamide-612(PA612) composites with good mechanical properties were realized via high-pressure solid-phase compression molding. The microstructures of the composite samples were observed by scanning electron microscopy, which showed that the formation of a GS-conductive network at the PA6 granule interfaces in the segregated conductive structures and the adopting of PA612 considerably improved the interfacial adhesion of the composites.

    Abstract Chloramphenicol (CAP) is an antibiotic that commonly pollutes the environment, and microorganisms primarily drive its degradation and transformation. Although several pathways for CAP degradation have been documented in different bacteria, multiple metabolic pathways in the same strain and their potential biological significance have not been revealed. In this study, Sphingobium WTD-1, which was isolated from activated sludge, can completely degrade 100 mg/L CAP within 60 h as the sole energy source. UPLC-HRMS and HPLC analyses showed that three different pathways, including acetylation, hydroxyl oxidation, and oxidation (C1-C2 bond cleavage), are responsible for the metabolism of CAP. Importantly, acetylation and C3 hydroxyl oxidation reduced the cytotoxicity of the substrate to strain WTD-1, and the C1-C2 bond fracture of CAP generated the metabolite p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNBA) to provide energy for its growth. This indicated that the synergistic action of three metabolic pathways caused WTD-1 to be adaptable and able to degrade high concentrations of CAP in the environment. This study deepens our understanding of the microbial degradation pathway of CAP and highlights the biological significance of the synergistic metabolism of antibiotic pollutants by multiple pathways in the same strain.

    Abstract Fire accidents often lead to tremendous losses and smoke has been reported to be the main cause of these heavy casualties. Accordingly, smoke movement can influence escape and smoke confinement is particular significant. Fire Dynamics Simulator software (FDS) was utilized to carry out complementary full scale numerical simulations of fire accident in a subway station. Different measure of smoke prevention and exhaust were adopted and the difference of smoke confinement among the measure was compared. According to the smoke temperature, hung wall had a good role during early stage of fire accident. However, the performance became worse with smoke accumulation. If the hung wall were adopted, smoke was exhausted from basement 2 and air was supplied into the basement 1 at the same time, the efficacy of smoke confinement was the best. The mechanical exhaust rate had obvious implications for the smoke diffusion.

    Abstract Practical gas sensing application requires sensors to quantify target analytes with high sensitivity and reproducibility. However, conventional surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor lacks reproducibility and quantification arising from variations of "hot spot" distribution and measurement conditions. Here, a ratio-dependent SERS sensor was developed for quantitative label-free gas sensing. Au@Ag-Au nanoparticles (NPs) were filtered onto anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) forming Au@Ag-Au@AAO SERS substrate. 4-MBA was encapsulated in the gap of Au@Ag-Au and served as the internal standard (IS) to calibrate SERS signal fluctuation for improved quantification ability. Combined with headspace sampling method, SO

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Interface modification driven by supramolecular self‐assembly has been accepted as a valuable strategy for emulsion stabilization enhancement. However, there has been a dearth of comparative research on the effect of simple complexation and assembly from the perspective of the responsible mechanism. RESULTS: The present study selected zein and tannic acid (TA) as representative protein and polyphenol modules for self‐assembly (coined as TA‐modified zein particle and TA‐zein complex particle) to explore the surface properties and interfacial behavior, as well as the stability of constructed Pickering emulsions to obtain the regulation law of different modification methods on the interfacial behavior of colloidal particles. The results demonstrated that TA‐modified zein colloidal particles potentially improved the emulsifying properties. When the TA concentration was 3 mmol L⁻¹, the optimized TA‐modified zein particle was nano‐sized (109.83 nm) and had advantageous interfacial properties, including sharply reduced surface hydrophobicity, as well as a low diffusion rate at the oil/water interface. As a result, the shelf life of Pickering emulsion containing 50% oil phase was extended to 90 days. CONCLUSION: Through multi‐angled research on the properties of the interfacial membrane, improvement of emulsion stability was a result of the formation of viscoelastic interfacial film that resulted from the decrease of absorption rate between particles and interface. Using refined regulation to investigate the role of different sample preparation methods from a mechanistic perspective. Overall, the present study has provided a reference for TA to regulate the surface properties and interface behavior of zein colloidal particles, enriched the understanding of colloidal interface assembly, and provided a theoretical basis for the quality control of interface‐oriented food systems. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract Chloramphenicols (CAPs) are ubiquitous emerging pollutants that threaten ecological environments and human health. Microbial and enzyme-based biodegradation strategies offer a cost-effective environmentally friendly approach for CAPs removal from contaminated sites. Here, CpmO, a novel multifunctional oxidase for CAP degradation was identified from the CAP-degrading strain Sphingobium sp. WTD-1. This enzyme was found to be responsible for both the oxidation of the C3-hydroxyl and oxidative cleavage of the C1-C2 bond of CAP, and the oxidative cleavage pathway of CAP was dominant. The catalytic efficiency of CpmO for CAP was 41.6 times that for thiamphenicol (TAP) under the optimal conditions (40 °C, pH 6.0). CpmO was identified as a member of the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase family. Molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis analysis indicated that CAP was connected to the key amino acid residues E231/E395, K277, and I273/A276 in CpmO through hydrogen bonding, nonclassical hydrogen bonding, and π-π stacking forces, respectively. The catalytic activities of the A276W, K277P, and E231S mutants were found to be 1.1 times, 6.4 times, and 13.2 times higher than that of the wild type, respectively. These findings provide genetic resources and theoretical guidance for future application in biotechnological and metabolic engineering efforts for the remediation of CAPs-contaminated environments.

    Abstract Breast cancer is a significant cause of death among women worldwide. It is crucial to quickly and accurately diagnose breast cancer in order to reduce mortality rates. While traditional diagnostic techniques for medical imaging and pathology samples have been commonly used in breast cancer screening, they still have certain limitations. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a fast, highly sensitive and user-friendly method that is often combined with deep learning techniques like convolutional neural networks. This combination helps identify unique molecular spectral features, also known as "fingerprint", in biological samples such as serum. Ultimately, this approach is able to accurately screen for cancer. The Gramian angular field (GAF) algorithm can convert one-dimensional (1D) time series into two-dimensional (2D) images. These images can be used for data visualization, pattern recognition and machine learning tasks. In this study, 640 serum SERS from breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers were converted into 2D spectral images by Gramian angular field (GAF) technique. These images were then used to train and test a two-dimensional convolutional neural network-GAF (2D-CNN-GAF) model for breast cancer classification. We compared the performance of the 2D-CNN-GAF model with other methods, including one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA), using various evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, F1-score, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) value. The results showed that the 2D-CNN model outperformed the traditional models, achieving an AUC value of 0.9884, an accuracy of 98.13%, sensitivity of 98.65% and specificity of 97.67% for breast cancer classification. In this study, we used conventional nano-silver sol as the SERS-enhanced substrate and a portable laser Raman spectrometer to obtain the serum SERS data. The 2D-CNN-GAF model demonstrated accurate and automatic classification of breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers. The method does not require augmentation and preprocessing of spectral data, simplifying the processing steps of spectral data. This method has great potential for accurate breast cancer screening and also provides a useful reference in more types of cancer classification and automatic screening.
