Article Abstract
In this research, the adsorption/desorption of the antibiotics doxycycline (DC), enrofloxacin (ENR), and sulfamethoxypyradazine (SMP) was studied in 6 agricultural soils with predominance of variable charge, both before and after removing organic matter by calcination. DC adsorption was high at acidic pH, and decreased at pH values above 8. Removal of organic matter with calcination caused just a slight decrease in adsorption, and even in some soils adsorption was similar to that in non-calcined samples. The adsorption coefficients (K) were higher for the DC species compared to DC, DC and DC. Regarding DC desorption, the values were very low throughout the pH range covered in the study (2-12), both in the calcined samples and in those not subjected to calcination. ENR showed a similar behavior to DC regarding the effect of pH, since ENR adsorption also decreased at basic pH, but the effect of removing organic matter was different, as it caused a clear decrease in ENR adsorption. The species with the highest K was in this case ENR, although ENR is also quantitatively important as regards K value in calcined samples. For this antibiotic, no differences in desorption were observed between calcined and non-calcined samples. Finally, SMP adsorption also decreased as pH increased, and, in addition, similarly to what happened with ENR, in general, there was a strong decrease in SMP adsorption when organic matter was removed. The species with the highest K in this case was SMP in non-calcined samples, but SMP and SMP become more relevant in calcined samples. The percentages of SMP desorption were higher than those for the other two antibiotics, and an increase occurs at intermediate pH values, being higher for calcined samples. These results can be considered relevant in terms of increasing the knowledge as regards the possible evolution and fate of the three antibiotics studied. Specifically, for different pH conditions and with different organic matter contents, when they reach soils and other environmental compartments after being discharged as contaminants. This could have important repercussions on public health and the overall environment.

Naomaohu lignite (NL) from Hami, Xinjiang, was ultrasonically extracted with a mixed solvent of CS and acetone (in equal volumes) to obtain the extract residue (ER). The ER was then separated based on density differences with CCl to yield the corresponding light residue (NL-L). The composition and structural characteristics of the light residue were characterized by proximate, ultimate, infrared, and thermogravimetric analyses (TG-DTG).

In this contribution, Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) is employed to investigate the (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction between ()--methyl--(2-furyl)-nitrone 1 and but-2-ynedioic acid 2. DFT calculations at the M06-2X-D3/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory under solvent-free conditions at room temperature show that this reaction proceeds CA3-Z diastereoselectivity, with the formation of the CA3-Z cycloadduct being both thermodynamically and kinetically more favoured than the CA4-Z one. Reactivity parameters obtained from CDFT calculations reveal that compound 1 predominantly behaves as a nucleophile with moderate electrophilic features, in contrast to compound 2, which demonstrates strong electrophilicity and limited nucleophilic ability.

Contactless human-machine interfaces (C-HMIs) are revolutionizing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven domains, yet face application limitations due to narrow sensing ranges, environmental fragility, and structural rigidity. To address these obstacles, we developed a flexible photonic C-HMI (Flex-PCI) using flexible visible-blind near-infrared organic photodetectors. In addition to its unprecedented performance across key metrics, including broad detection range (0.

This experiment evaluated the effects of replacing one-third of corn grain in a finishing diet with rye grain (RG) processed using one of three processing methods. Predominately Angus steers (n = 192, initial shrunk BW = 410 ± 20.9 kg) were blocked by source and pen location and assigned to one of four dietary treatments: dry-rolled corn (DRC), unprocessed RG (UNP), dry-rolled RG (DRR) and hammer-milled RG (HMR).

Bioclogging from organic accumulation significantly limits efficiency and longevity of constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, hematite was introduced to enhance the oxidation of organics by dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR). Compared to gravel CWs (G-CWs), hematite CWs (H-CWs) enhanced the removal of COD, ammonium, and phosphate by 12 %, 46 %, and 72 %, while reducing CH and NO emissions by 69 % and 36 %.
