Mechanism of self-driven naphthol blue black degradation in Fe(III)-activated peracetic acid system: Dominant role of high-valent iron species.

The iron-activated peracetic acid (PAA) system is a novel green advanced oxidation process (AOP), but conventional Fe(III)-activated PAA systems suffer from low efficiency and require co-activator for iron cycling. This study demonstrated efficient degradation of the organic pollutant Naphthol Blue Black (NBB) in a Fe(III)/PAA system without additional co-activator, achieving 95.7 % removal within 7 min, slightly higher than that observed with Fe(II).

Polarization electric field tuning interface electric field in full-spectral response double S-scheme heterojunction to drive synchronous removal of Cr(VI) and RBR X-3B.

Photocatalytic technology provides a sustainable development strategy for the synchronous removal of azo dyes and mordant leaching of Cr(VI). To mitigate the shielding effect of free carriers on the built-in electric field during the photocatalytic process, a double S-scheme piezo-photocatalyst BiWO/BiOCl/BiS (BW-C-S) with full spectral response that can continuously respond to the ultrasound-guided polarized electric field to adjust the built-in electric field to promote the separation and migration of photogenerated carriers was developed. BW-C-S effectively overcame the barriers of carrier separation and migration by utilizing an ultrasonic-optical coupling field, achieving the rapid synchronous removal of reactive brilliant red X-3B (RBR X-3B) (0.

[The "sensation-efficacy" relationship of moxibustion from the perspective of the "Three Phases of moxibustion sensation"].

The theory of the "Three Phases of moxibustion sensation", originating from 's , summarizes the clinical transmission process of moxibustion sensation into three phases: initial sensation, diffusion, and conduction. Inspired by this theory, the authors analyze factors affecting moxibustion sensation-including moxibustion temperature, location, dose, and technique-and summarize its guiding role in clinical practice. It is proposed that in clinical application, the generation pattern of the initial sensation phase can be used to judge the immediate efficacy of moxibustion and adjust treatment locations accordingly; the diffusion pattern of the diffusion phase can help assess individual moxibustion dose to ensure optimal therapeutic effects; and the conduction phase not only indicates the endpoint of moxibustion therapy but can also reveal hidden lesions and deeper pathological causes in patients.

Toward Fine-Grained 3-D Visual Grounding Through Referring Textual Phrases.

Recent progress in 3-D scene understanding has explored visual grounding [3D visual grounding (3DVG)] to localize a target object through a language description.
