Article Abstract
Azo dye methyl orange (MO) and shell rotting cause great environmental pollution. Most of the common dye adsorbents are difficult to produce, not environmentally friendly and it is always difficult to utilize the shell resources effectively. In this study, shell-based economical and environmentally friendly magnetic hydroxyapatite microsphere adsorbents (FeO @SiO/HAP) were developed for the removal of MO from simulated wastewater by sol-gel and hydrothermal synthesis methods. The effects of solution pH, initial concentration, adsorption time and system temperature on the adsorption effect were investigated, and the repeat recovery performance was explored. The equilibrium adsorption data follow the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic curves, and the analysis indicates that the adsorption process is spontaneously exothermic. The adsorption capacities of MO were up to 94.48% and 88.94%, under the acidic environment of pH = 4, respectively, and had good recycling performance. The results provide a high-value utilization pathway for waste shell resources and focus on the removal of azo dyes. This is expected to provide new development ideas for the environmental hazards caused by acid dye wastewater discharged into rivers and oceans, as well as the problems of soil pollution and resource waste caused by weathering and corrosion of shells.

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) and the absence of physical activity (PA) have become increasingly prevalent in modern societies due to changes in physical and social-environmental conditions, particularly in university students. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and identify the prevalence and correlates of self-reported and accelerometer-determined SB and PA of German university students.
Methods: A convenience sample of 532 students participated in a questionnaire survey during the lecture period in the summer term 2018.

Accurate three-dimensional localisation of ultrasonic bat calls is essential for advancing behavioural and ecological research. I present a comprehensive, open-source simulation framework-Array WAH-for designing, evaluating, and optimising microphone arrays tailored to bioacoustic tracking. The tool incorporates biologically realistic signal generation, frequency-dependent propagation, and advanced Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) localisation algorithms, enabling precise quantification of both positional and angular accuracy.

Soil washing with surfactants is a promising technique for remediating petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soils. This study evaluates a biosurfactant extracted from Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), an abundant aquatic weed in Thailand, using ultrasound-assisted extraction for diesel-contaminated soil remediation. The biosurfactant extract (Extract WH) was characterized for its surface tension reduction, critical micelle concentration (CMC), emulsification capacity with diesel, and phytotoxicity.

China's aluminum-products industry, a large-scale consumer of industrial paints, is a potentially significant source of full-volatility organic compounds (F-VOCs). However, the emission characteristics of F-VOCs, including VOCs, intermediate-, semi-, and low-volatility organic compounds (I/S/LVOCs), and their role in ozone formation potentials (OFP), and secondary organic aerosol formation potentials (SOAP) remain unclear. In this study, we collected in-field samples from three industrial paints (solvent-based, water-based and powder paints) at spraying and drying processes, and treatment devices to analyze the emission characteristics of F-VOCs, OFP, SOAP.

Yerba mate, a key crop in South America, is prized for its pleasant taste and high organoleptic quality, often linked to lower branch content. To quantify branch content and authenticate high-quality samples (less than 30 % m/m branch content), a Chemometrics-assisted Color Histogram-based Analytical System (CACHAS) was employed. Using Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) histograms, Partial Least Squares (PLS) demonstrated excellent predictive performance, achieving a root mean square error (RMSEP) of 4.
