Abstract	As an emerging environmental pollutant, microplastics (MPs) have received widespread attention. Recently, studies examining microplastic pollution in plateau lakes have been increasing, but few have examined the distributions, sources, and fates of MPs in different plateau areas. In this work, the abundances and characteristics of MPs in surface waters and sediments in lakes of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (YGP) were systematically investigated. The abundances of MPs in the lakes of the QTP ranges within 0.05-1.8 n/L in surface waters and 10-2643.7 n/kg in sediments. In the lakes of the YGP, the abundances of MPs ranged within 1.3-10.1 n/L in surface waters and 171.7-4260 n/kg in sediments. The dominant shape, color, and size class of MPs were fiber, transparent, and 0-0.5 mm in plateau lakes, respectively. MPs were mainly composed of polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate polymers. The different sources of MPs in the QTP and YGP lakes were mainly due to differences in human activities. The primary sources of microplastic pollution in the lakes of the QTP were tourism and atmospheric transport, while sewage discharge, agriculture, and fishing activities were the main sources of MPs in urban lakes of the YGP. Although the level of microplastic pollution in plateau lakes was relatively low, the sources should be identified and monitored so that the effects and extent of microplastic pollution in these fragile environments can be fully understood. This study provides a valuable dataset and theoretical basis for subsequent research on microplastic pollution in plateau lakes.

Abstract	Microplastic pollution in the soil environment is of great concern. However, the current research on microplastics (MPs) in Southwest China mainly focuses on their distribution characteristics and sources in soil, making the understanding of the soil properties and land use patterns influencing soil MPs insufficient. In this study, the abundance and distribution characteristics of MPs in the soil of different land use patterns in Guizhou Province were determined. The results revealed that the average abundance of MPs in soils was 2936 items/kg, ranging from 780 to 9420 items/kg. The MPs were mainly small particle size (0-0.5 mm), granular, and black, accounting for 87.5%, 36.6%, and 82.2%, respectively. The most common polymer types of MPs were polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene, which accounted for 20.4%, 16.8%, and 16.4%, respectively. As soil bulk density increased, microplastic abundance and small particle size decreased. Soil microplastic abundance slightly decreased with increasing soil porosity. The abundance of MPs increased with the increase in soil pH, but no significant correlation was observed between soil organic matter content and microplastic abundance. pH was the major factor that affected the microplastic distribution, which accounted for 32.5%. This study provides insight into the distribution and influencing factors of soil MPs and also provides a theoretical basis for subsequent research on soil microplastic pollution.

Abstract	Microplastics (MPs) in soils have attracted attention worldwide. However, there are few studies on the abundance and morphological characteristics of MPs under different land use patterns in karst areas. In this work, the distribution characteristics of MPs in soils from five different land use patterns, including industrial mining warehouse (IW), cropland (CL), forest land (FL), grassland (GL), and garden land (GP) in karst mountainous areas of southwest China were investigated. The results suggested that soils in Karst Plateau of Guizhou province under different land use patterns have all been polluted by MPs. The average microplastic abundances of IW, CL, FL, GL, and GP were 3114, 2948, 2770, 2718, and 4200 item kg

Abstract	The occurrence, sources, effects, and risks of microplastics (MPs) in farmland soils have attracted considerable attention. However, the pollution and ecological characteristics of MPs in farmland soils at different levels of rocky desertification remain unclear. We collected and analyzed farmland soil samples from rocky desertification areas in Guizhou, China, ranging from no to heavy risks. We explored differences and migration of MPs across these areas, unveiled the relationship between diversity, niche, and risks of MPs, and determined influencing factors. The average abundance of soil MPs was 8721 ± 3938 item/kg, and the abundance and contamination factor (CF) of MPs escalated with the increase in rocky desertification level. Diversity, niche, and risk of soil MPs in different rocky desertification areas were significantly different. Rocky desertification caused both MP community differences and linked MP communities at different sites. Diversity and niche significantly affected MP risk (p < 0.05). Environmental factors with significant correlations (p < 0.05) with the abundance and ecological characteristics of MPs varied significantly in soils of different rocky desertification areas. This study advances our comprehension of MP pollution in farmland soils within rocky desertification areas, offering essential data and theoretical insights for the development of control strategies.

Abstract	The problems of laser source frequency drift (LSFD) and phase noise in distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) make it difficult to recover the true vibration phase curve, which limits its application scope in the field of seismic exploration. In order to suppress the influence of phase noise and phase drift on the phase signal and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the phase curve, this paper proposes a method based on symmetric extreme value expansion, symplectic geometry mode decomposition and Pearson correlation coefficient (SEE-SGMD-PCC). Firstly, the mathematical principles and processing flow of the SEE-SGMD-PCC algorithm were introduced, and the effectiveness of this method was verified through multiple sets of simulation experiments. Secondly, The DAS system implemented using digital heterodyne coherent detection technology was used as the experimental platform, and the phase drift and phase noise sources of the phase signal were analyzed in detail. Next, in single frequency and multi frequency vibration signal experiments, compared with other methods, the SNR of the phase signal is significantly improved, and the phase information is effectively restored. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method was demonstrated through two on-site experiments. The proposal of this method further promotes the application process of DAS in complex seismic exploration environments.

Abstract	The adhesives formulated from soy protein (SP) exhibit desirable dry bonding strength needed to eradicate over-reliance on unsustainable petroleum-based formaldehyde adhesives. However, the adhesive full industrial adoption is limited by its inherent poor water resistance, short shelf-life, and proneness to mildew. This study explored a feasible, versatile, green, and sustainable strategy to engineer superior SP-based adhesives using furfuryl alcohol (FA) and 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol hydrochloride (DBH). FA/DBH was conjugated via the carbodiimide-mediated addition of DBH under a light-proof condition. The acidity was controlled by NaOH, creating a mildly acidic medium for FA/DBH to develop a strong crosslinked network. The FA and DBH were hybridized by an amide bond, with subsequent SP integration via dynamic covalent linkages and amide bonds. The synergistic interactions between FA/DBH hybrid and the protein chains remarkably enhanced the adhesive properties. Consequently, the added FA/DBH hybrid (6 wt% of SP) achieved high dry and wet shear strengths of 2.38 and 1.43 MPa (plywood), which were 63 % and 200 % higher than the unmodified soy protein adhesive (USPA), respectively. In addition, the constructed organic network improved the adhesive thermal stability, mildew resistance, and shelf-life. Therefore, this sustainable, versatile, and green approach could serve as an alternative crosslinking pathway for developing highly competitive SP-based adhesives.

Abstract	The introduction of 2D graphene into the soybean protein (SP) adhesive is expected to enhance its mechanical performance. However, insufficient binding of the two materials inevitably leads to the resulting composite having limited mechanical strength. Using phytic acid (PA) and a supramolecular self-assembly strategy, hard graphene oxide (GO) was first assembled with PA to form a supramolecular polymer, PA-co-GO, that has a “bricks and mortar” structure as a result of strong non-covalent interactions. PA-co-GO was then further combined with SP in the presence of the long-chain epoxy compound neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NG) to produce a novel biopolymer-based adhesive PA-co-GO/NG/SP. The prepared adhesive has a moisture-insensitive interface as a result of non-covalent/covalent bonds and a “bricks and mortar” microstructure that allows the dissipation of energy, resulting in an enhancement in the water-resistant bonding strength of the material, with a 345% increase in its wet bonding strength compared with the unmodified SP adhesive. Additionally, the combination of the heat shielding of the GO and catalytic carbonization of PA resulted in the adhesive having excellent flame retardant properties. The structure and morphology of the materials were characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and solid-state ¹³C NMR. Overall, a new clean route for preparing green high-performance biopolymer-based adhesives is described, with potential applications for sustainable agricultural byproducts.

Abstract	Eco-friendly transparent dielectric ceramics with superior energy storage properties are highly desirable in various transparent energy-storage electronic devices, ranging from advanced transparent pulse capacitors to electro-optical multifunctional devices. However, the collaborative improvement of energy storage properties and optical transparency in KNN-based ceramics still remains challenging. To address this issue, multiple synergistic strategies are proposed, such as refining the grain size, introducing polar nanoregions, and inducing a high-symmetry phase structure. Accordingly, outstanding energy storage density (W

Abstract	Background & aims: The spread of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) through aerosol droplets among cloven-hoofed ungulates in close contact is a major obstacle for successful animal husbandry. Therefore, the development of suitable mucosal vaccines, especially nasal vaccines, to block the virus at the initial site of infection is crucial. Patients and methods: Here, we constructed eukaryotic expression plasmids containing the T and B-cell epitopes (pTB) of FMDV in tandem with the molecular mucosal adjuvant Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor 3 ligand (Flt3 ligand, FL) (pTB-FL). Then, the constructed plasmid was electrostatically attached to mannose-modified chitosan-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanospheres (MCS-PLGA-NPs) to obtain an active nasal vaccine targeting the mannose- receptor on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Results: The MCS-PLGA-NPs loaded with pTB-FL not only induced a local mucosal immune response, but also induced a systemic immune response in mice. More importantly, the nasal vaccine afforded an 80% protection rate against a highly virulent FMDV strain (AF72) when it was subcutaneously injected into the soles of the feet of guinea pigs. Conclusions: The nasal vaccine prepared in this study can effectively induce a cross-protective immune response against the challenge with FMDV of same serotype in animals and is promising as a potential FMDV vaccine.
