    Abstract Chain elongation technology utilises microorganisms in anaerobic digestion to transform waste biomass into medium-chain fatty acids that have greater economic value. This innovative technology expands upon traditional anaerobic digestion methods, requiring abundant substrates that serve as electron donors and acceptors, and inoculating microorganisms with chain elongation functions. While this process may result in the production of by-products and elicit competitive responses, toxicity suppression of microorganisms by substrates and products remains a significant obstacle to the industrialisation of chain elongation technology. This study provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on widely employed electron donors and their synthetic reactions, competitive reactions, inoculum selection, toxicity inhibition of substrates and products, and increased chain elongation approaches. Additionally, it presents actionable recommendations for future research and development endeavours in this domain, intending to inspire and guide researchers in advancing the frontiers of chain elongation technology.

    Abstract The production of municipal sludge is steadily increasing in line with the production of sewage. A wealth of organic contaminants, including nutrients and energy, are present in municipal sludge. Anaerobic fermentation can be used to extract useful resources from sludge, producing hydrogen, methane, short-chain fatty acids, and, via further chain elongation, medium-chain fatty acids. By comparing the economic and use values of these retrieved resources, it is concluded that a high-value resource transformation of municipal sludge can be achieved via the production of medium-chain fatty acids using anaerobic fermentation, which is a hotspot for future research. In this study, the selection of the pretreatment method, the method of producing medium-chain fatty acids, the influence of the electron donor, and the technique used to enhance product synthesis in the anaerobic fermentation process are introduced in detail. The study outlines potential future research directions for medium-chain fatty acid production using municipal sludge. These acids could serve as a starting point for investigating other uses for municipal sludge.

    Abstract Assessment and prognostic value of serum uric acid (SUA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) on the efficacy of intravenous thrombolytic therapy in cerebral infarction. A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 159 patients with acute cerebral infarction who received rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy from 2015 to 2020 and patients with an mRS>2 points were assigned to the poor prognosis group and with mRS≤2 to the good prognosis group. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to examine the prognostic value of SUA and NSE in intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarction, and logistic regression analysis was utilized to elucidate the predictive features. SUA levels were adversely correlated with prognosis, whereas NSE was positively correlated with prognosis (r=0.465 and -0.501, P=0.000 and 0.000). The ROC curve showed that the predictive accuracy of SUA was 77.4% and of NSE was 71%. SUA≤337.5 mmol/l and NSE≥24.50 ng/ml are considered viable criteria to predict the curative effect and prognostic value of intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarction. SUA and NSE demonstrate great potential to accurately predict the therapeutic effect and prognosis of intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarction.

    Abstract This paper presents a solar concentrating photovoltaic-thermal (CPV-T) module for building louver which is designed to provide electricity and heat for buildings by capturing solar radiation in building vertical space. A specially designed concentrating blade used for louver is combined with a PV-T module. The concentrating blade enables incident sunlight converge to a solar cell, thus obtaining electricity. The heat generated in the solar cell is taken away and collected by thermal fluid, by which the deficiency of increasing extra cooling demand in summer existing in traditional building integrated photovoltaic is overcome. The concentrating blade is designed to work under the solar incident angle of 0–90°, and its high-efficiency photovoltaic-thermal working range is 20–70°. Optical simulations are conducted to illustrate the characteristics of the concentrating blade. Remarkably, the maximum geometrical concentration ratio is 2.96 at the incident angle of 20°. Over a wide range of incident angles between 12.5° and 52.5°, the geometrical concentration ratio maintains above 2. Finally, experiments are carried out to test the electrical and thermal performance of the CPV-T module. The results illustrate that its overall efficiency can reach above 55 % for nearly 5 h without tracking during the all-day experiment.

    Abstract The Fine-Kinney model is one of the most extensively adopted classical occupational risk analysis techniques which has been regarded as a helpful means for addressing the risk identification and evaluation problems in various fields. However, current extended Fine-Kinney models have limited capacity to cope with occupational risk evaluation and prioritization problems considering interactive relationships among multi-risk parameters under inter-uncertain and intra-uncertain environments. To overcome the limitations, this paper proposes a hybrid risk prioritization approach for the Fine-Kinney model by integrating GLDS (gained and lost dominance score) method, interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs), and Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator. First, the trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (TrIT2FNs) are introduced to depict the inter-uncertain and intra-uncertain risk evaluation information. Then, an ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator is constructed to aggregate the complex and uncertain risk evaluation information from heterogeneous decision-makers in which the similarity-measure-based weighting method is incorporated. Next, the GLDS method combined with the weighted MSM operator is developed to address the risk prioritization problem in the Fine-Kinney model by considering the inter-dependencies among multi-risk parameters. Finally, a numerical example of occupational risk evaluation for potential hazards in construction excavation is presented within IT2FSs to demonstrate the application and availability of the extended Fine-Kinney model. After that, the comparison and sensitivity analyses are conducted to further illustrate the superiority and rationality of the proposed approach.

    Abstract The high-efficiency and additionally economic benefits generated from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) wastewater treatment have led to its increasing popularity among academics and industrial players. The AGS process can recycle high value-added biomaterials including extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), sodium alginate-like external polymer (ALE), polyhydroxyfatty acid (PHA), and phosphorus (P), etc., which can serve various fields including agriculture, construction, and chemical while removing pollutants from wastewaters. The effects of various key operation parameters on formation and structural stability of AGS are comprehensively summarized. The degradable metabolism of typical pollutants and corresponding microbial diversity and succession in the AGS wastewater treatment system are also discussed, especially with a focus on emerging contaminants removal. In addition, recent attempts for potentially effective production of high value-added biomaterials from AGS are proposed, particularly concerning improving the yield, quality, and application of these biomaterials. This review aims to provide a reference for in-depth research on the AGS process, suggesting a new alternative for wastewater treatment recycling.

    Abstract Background: Highly infectious viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, and Ebola virus represent a threat to clinical laboratory workers. We aimed to investigate how virus inactivation by heating at 60°C for 1 hour affects routine clinical laboratory indicators.
    Methods: Each collected serum sample was separated into two aliquots, and various indicators were measured in first aliquot after inactivation by heating at 60°C for 1 hour and in the second after room-temperature incubation for 1 hour.
    Results: Serological test results for 36 indicators remained mostly unaffected by heat inactivation, with a mean estimated bias of < 10%. By contrast, the results for alanine transaminase, pseudocholinesterase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cardiac troponin I, and myoglobin were affected by heat inactivation, with the mean esti-mated bias here being > 20%, which was further increased in the case of the results for alkaline phosphatase, lipase, and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB. Immunological serological measurements showed good agreement according to Kappa consistency checks after heat inactivation of serum. The results for alanine transaminase, pseudocholinesterase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cardiac troponin I, and myoglobin were significantly correlated (r > 0.95) after heat inactivation, and after correction by using a regression equation, the results for the indicators still retained a clinical reference value.
    Conclusions: Inactivation by heating at 60°C for 1 hour exerts no marked effect on numerous routine biochemical and immunological indicators in serum, but the detection values for certain items are significantly decreased. Our method could serve as reference strategy for routine serological diagnostics in patients with suspected or confirmed infection with highly pathogenic viruses.
