    Abstract The bioremediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil is a promising strategy; however, the performance of Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria is limited by the toxicity of Cr(VI). In this study, two novel Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria were isolated from a Cr salt plant and identified as Agrobacterium sp. and Lysinibacillus sp. The Cr(VI) reduction conditions of the two strains were optimized. At a Cr(VI) concentration of 500 mg/L, Agrobacterium sp. Cr-1 reduced Cr(VI) with a removal rate of 96.91%, while that for Lysinibacillus sp. Cr-2 was 92.82%. First-order reaction kinetic equations simulated the positive relationship between time and Cr(VI) concentration during Cr(VI) reduction in these two strains. Agrobacterium sp. Cr-1 was further studied, and the effects of different cell components on Cr(VI) reduction were detected. The extracellular extracts of Agrobacterium sp. Cr-1 played a major role in Cr(VI) reduction, followed by intracellular extracts and cell membranes. The scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) images show that the precipitation was Cr. The high Cr(VI) reducing ability of Agrobacterium sp. Cr-1 suggests that this strain is promising for the remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated sites.

    Abstract Diffusion models have rapidly become a vital part of deep generative architectures, given today's increasing demands. Obtaining large, high-performance diffusion models demands significant resources, highlighting their importance as intellectual property worth protecting. However, existing watermarking techniques for ownership verification are insufficient when applied to diffusion models. Very recent research in watermarking diffusion models either exposes watermarks during task generation, which harms the imperceptibility, or is developed for conditional diffusion models that require prompts to trigger the watermark. This paper introduces WDM, a novel watermarking solution for diffusion models without imprinting the watermark during task generation. It involves training a model to concurrently learn a Watermark Diffusion Process (WDP) for embedding watermarks alongside the standard diffusion process for task generation. We provide a detailed theoretical analysis of WDP training and sampling, relating it to a shifted Gaussian diffusion process via the same reverse noise. Extensive experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach in various trigger and watermark data configurations.

    Abstract A novel plant cathode-sediment microbial fuel cell (P-SMFC) was constructed to treat Cr-containing wastewater, and the effects of the plants used, initial concentrations of Cr(VI) employed, and the external resistance on the treatment of wastewater and generation of electricity were investigated. The results showed that the system achieved the best performance when Acorus calamus was the cathode plant, the external resistance was 2000 Ω, and the initial Cr (VI) concentration of the overlying water of is 230 mg/L. A maximum power density of 40.16 mW/m² was reached, and Cr (VI) and COD removal efficiencies in the overlying water were 99.94% and 98.21%, respectively. The closed-circuit installation promoted the attachment of many microorganisms to the cathode, anode and sediment, increased species abundance, and reduced species diversity. The P-SMFC is inexpensive to construct, it consumes no energy, and it can generate bioelectricity; it thus has great application development value as a chromium-containing wastewater treatment method.

    Abstract SLFN11 is abnormally expressed and associated with survival outcomes in various human cancers. However, the role of SLFN11 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinical value and potential functions of SLFN11 in ccRCC. Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses were performed using online databases. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and western blotting were used to validate the expression data. CCK8, flow cytometry analysis, and EdU staining were performed to determine the level of cell proliferation. Flow cytometry analysis was also used to detect cell apoptosis. Wound-healing assay and Transwell assays were performed to assess cell migration and invasion capability, respectively. SLFN11 was overexpressed and was an independent prognostic factor in ccRCC. SLFN11 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoted apoptosis. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses suggested that SLFN11 may have an impact on tumorigenesis in ccRCC through regulation of the inflammatory response, the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and other effectors. Furthermore, SLFN11 knockdown inhibited the phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and could be activated by 740 Y-P. Finally, we demonstrated that miR-183 may specifically target SLFN11, and miR-183 expression was correlated with predicted survival. SLFN11 may play a critical role in ccRCC progression and may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker in ccRCC.

    Abstract Excessive exposure to manganese (Mn) through drinking water and food during pregnancy significantly heightens the likelihood of neurodevelopmental damage in offspring. Multiple studies have indicated that melatonin (Mel) may help to relieve neurodevelopmental disorders caused by Mn, but potential mechanisms underlying this effect require further exploration. Here, we utilized primary neural stem cells (NSCs) as a model to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the protective function of Mel on Mn-induced cell proliferation dysfunction and cycle arrest. Our results showed that Mn disrupted the cell cycle in NSCs by suppressing positive regulatory proteins (CDK2, Cyclin A, Cyclin D

    Abstract Pressure sensor placement is critical to system safety and operation optimization of water supply networks (WSNs). The majority of existing studies focuses on sensitivity or burst identification ability of monitoring systems based on certain specific operating conditions of WSNs, while nodal connectivity or long-term hydraulic fluctuation is not fully considered and analyzed. A new method of pressure sensor placement is proposed in this paper based on Graph Neural Networks. The method mainly consists of two steps: monitoring partition establishment and sensor placement. (1) Structural Deep Clustering Network algorithm is used for clustering analysis with the integration of complicated topological and hydraulic characteristics, and a WSN is divided into several monitoring partitions. (2) Then, sensor placement is carried out based on burst identification analysis, a quantitative metric named “indicator tensor” is developed to calculate hydraulic characteristics in time series, and the node with the maximum average partition perception rate is selected as the sensor in each monitoring partition. The results showed that the proposed method achieved a better monitoring scheme with more balanced distribution of sensors and higher coverage rate for pipe burst detection. This paper offers a new robust framework, which can be easily applied in the decision-making process of monitoring system establishment.
