Deciphering Planktonic Bacterial Community Assembly in the Storage Reservoir of the Long-Distance Water Diversion Project.

Storage reservoirs are crucial components of long-distance water diversion projects, where water diversion may lead to changes in microbial diversity and community structure. Seasonal variations also drive alterations in microbial communities. However, the way that microbes assemble under the combined effects of water diversion and seasonal variations in the storage reservoir has not been extensively studied.

Carbon information disclosure and corporate financial performance-Empirical evidence based on heavily polluting industries in China.

Global climate change has become one of the most large-scale, widespread, and far-reaching challenges facing mankind. Against this background, China has proposed a "dual-carbon" target in 2020, which greatly demonstrates China's determination and commitment to carbon emission reduction, and the burden of realizing the "dual-carbon" target is mainly borne by heavy polluters. The burden of achieving the "dual-carbon" goal is mainly borne by the heavily polluting firms.

The STING signaling pathways and bacterial infection.

As antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to emerge frequently, bacterial infections have become a significant and pressing challenge to global public health. Innate immunity triggers the activation of host responses by sensing "non-self" components through various pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), serving as the first line of antibacterial defense. Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a PRR that binds with cyclic dinucleotides (CDN) to exert effects against bacteria, viruses, and cancer by inducing the production of type I interferon and inflammatory cytokines, and facilitating regulated cell death.

Non-controlling large shareholders and dynamic capital structure adjustment in China.

Using the sample of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2010 to 2020, this study examines the impact of non-controlling large shareholders (NCLSs) on corporate capital structure adjustment. The results show that NCLSs significantly increase the dynamic capital structure adjustment speed and reduce capital structure deviation. NCLSs have an asymmetric influence on capital structure adjustment speed for different deviation directions, i.

Electrostatic Gating of Spin Dynamics of a Quasi-2D Kagome Magnet.

Electrostatic gating has emerged as a powerful technique for tailoring the magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) magnets, offering exciting prospects including enhancement of magnetic anisotropy, boosting Curie temperature, and strengthening exchange coupling effects. Here, we focus on electrical control of the ferromagnetic resonance of the quasi-2D Kagome magnet Cu(1,3-bdc). By harnessing an electrostatic field through ionic liquid gating, significant shifts are observed in the ferromagnetic resonance field in both out-of-plane and in-plane measurements.

Effects of potassium monopersulfate on nitrification activity and bacterial community structure of sponge biocarrier biofilm in aquaculture system.

Effects of potassium monopersulfate (KMPS) on the nitrification activity, aquacultural water quality and bacterial community structure of sponge biocarriers with pre-cultured biofilm (SBBF) were analysed through shaking flask experiments and aquaculture experiments. Changes in the ammonia oxidation rate (AOR) and nitrite oxidation rate (NOR) of SBBF under six KMPS concentration treatments (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/L) were studied. The results showed that the AOR and NOR of SBBF treated with high concentrations of KMPS (3, 4 and 5 mg/L) were significantly lower than those of the control group (CK) ( < 0.

[Seasonal Variation and Influencing Factors of Bacterial Communities in Storage Reservoirs].

In order to explore the seasonal variation and influencing factors of bacterial community structure in storage reservoirs, the impact of environmental factors must first be examined. In this study, the seasonal variation in bacterial community structure and its response to water quality factors were explored by monitoring the water quality of Qingdao Jihongtan Reservoir, the only reservoir of the Yellow River diversion project, using high-throughput sequencing technology and symbiotic network analysis. The results showed that the diversity and richness of bacterial communities were highest in summer and lowest in winter, and those in the inlet were higher than those in the outlet.

Seasonal variation of aerosol fungal community structure in reed constructed wetlands.

Facile synthesis of a novel WO/AgMoO particles-on-plate staggered type II heterojunction with improved visible-light photocatalytic activity in removing environmental pollutants.

A novel WO/AgMoO heterojunction has been synthesized through a facile precipitation method with AgMoO particles firmly deposited on the surface of WO nanoplates, forming "particles-on-plate" type II heterojunction structures. This heterojunction exhibited improved photocatalytic activities for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), 4 chlorophenol (4-CP) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) under visible-light irradiation compared to pure AgMoO and WO. In addition, the heterojunction with 10 wt% AgMoO displays the best photocatalytic performance, which was about 2 times better than that of pure WO or AgMoO.
