Performance of fluorine removal using flow electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI): validation and optimization.

This study demonstrates the efficacy of a symmetrically designed flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) system for the electrochemical defluorination of photovoltaic (PV) wastewater, with a systematic investigation conducted to optimize operational parameters and analyze key factors influencing system performance, offering valuable insights into enhancing FCDI efficiency. The results revealed that an optimal applied voltage of 1.2 V yielded a fluoride removal efficiency of 92.

Giant KASH proteins and ribosomes synergistically establish cytoplasmic biophysical properties .

Understanding how cells control their biophysical properties during development remains a fundamental challenge. While cytoplasmic macromolecular crowding affects multiple cellular processes in single cells, its regulation in living animals remains poorly understood. Using genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles for rheology, we discovered that tissues maintain distinct cytoplasmic biophysical properties that differ from those observed across diverse systems, including bacteria, yeast species, and cultured mammalian cells.

The impact of socioeconomic system on the river system in a heavily disturbed basin.

The quantitative assessment of the impact of socioeconomic development on river water environment is important to the scientific management of river basins. However, current methods have high data requirements or are difficult to deal with the impact between systems (which is defined by a collection of indicators). This paper first uses canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to understand the relationship between socialeconomic system (defined by a set of indicators reflecting socioeconomic development) and river system (defined by a set of indicators reflecting river water environment), and then proposes a method to assess the impact of socioeconomic system on river system by integrating CCA and the degrees of influence of river system indicators.

Integrated assessments of green infrastructure for flood mitigation to support robust decision-making for sponge city construction in an urbanized watershed.

Green Infrastructure (GI) has become increasingly important in urban stormwater management because of the effects of climate change and urbanization. To mitigate severe urban water-related problems, China is implementing GI at the national scale under its Sponge City Program (SCP). The SCP is currently in a pilot period, however, little attention has been paid to the cost-effectiveness of GI implementation in China.
