Rapid Molten-Salt Synthesis of Phase-Controlled Mo-Doped Sulfides for Water Splitting.

Transition metal sulfides are promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. This work develops an innovative rapid low-temperature molten-salt template approach that enables one-step fabrication of free-standing Mo-doped sulfide nanowire arrays (Mo-NiS@NiS/NF) on nickel foam (NF) within merely 30 min, substantially reducing synthesis time compared to conventional methods. XRD and Raman analyses show that the doping of Mo makes the original NiS convert into NiS with higher catalytic activity.

Drought-induced transposon expression reveals complex drought response mechanisms in .

Transposable elements (TEs) are abundant components of plant genomes, yet their transcriptional activity and potential biological roles remain underexplored, especially under environmental stress conditions. This study investigates the transcriptional dynamics of TEs in during drought stress in seed development, aiming to uncover their contributions to stress responses and seed germination. RNA-seq data were analyzed for TE transcriptional activity in wild-type (WT) and CRISPR-edited mutant lines of .

ABA Enhances Drought Resistance During Rapeseed ( L.) Seed Germination Through the Gene Regulatory Network Mediated by ABA Insensitive 5.

ABA Insensitive 5 (ABI5) is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF) that plays a critical role in seed dormancy and germination, particularly under stress conditions. This study identified as an important candidate gene regulating seed germination under drought stress during early germination in rapeseed ( L.) seeds through Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS).

Optimizing Dog Rabies Vaccination Services to the Public: A Discrete Choice Experiment in Guangdong, China.

Vaccination for dogs is essential for controlling rabies and achieving the goal of eliminating dog-mediated rabies globally by 2030. This paper aims to investigate the preferences for public services regarding rabies vaccination, in an effort to optimize the existing rabies vaccination and prevention programs in China. The households investigated had significant preferences for dog rabies vaccination service attributes.

Application of diatomite for gallic acid removal from molasses wastewater.

In this study, diatomite was refined by a simple purification method consisting of calcination combined with acid washing. Optimal purification conditions were the focus, including the influence of conditions on diatomite morphology, structure, and specific surface area. The results showed that the optimal conditions were a 550 °C carbonization temperature and 25 wt% HCl.

Arginine-modified magnetic chitosan: Preparation, characterization and adsorption of gallic acid in sugar solution.

The presence of phenolic substances in sugarcane juice seriously affects the color value of sugar products. Magnetic chitosan (MCS) was prepared using an ionic cross-linking technique, and then was modified with arginine to prepare arginine-modified magnetic chitosan (AMCS) for use as a new sucrose clarifying adsorbent. Gallic acid (GA) is a representative phenolic substance and was used to test the adsorption properties of the prepared AMCS.
