Article Abstract

The response of CO assimilation rate () to incident light intensity reflects the efficiency of light utilization. The light intensity dependence of varies widely among different plant species, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To elucidate this issue, we measured the light intensity dependence of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in twelve tree species. The results indicated that (1) with increasing light intensity, the variation in was closely related to stomatal conductance (), mesophyll conductance (), the maximum velocity of Rubisco carboxylation (), and electron transport rate (ETR); (2) compared with at sub-saturating light, the increase in at saturating light was more strongly associated with and ETR than with and ; and (3) the increase in and from 600 to 2000 μmol photons m s were positively correlated with the maximum capacity of . These findings suggest that is an energy-dependent process that significantly regulates the light intensity dependence of in plants. This provides valuable insights for crop improvement through the manipulation of .

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.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

Layer 6 corticothalamic (L6CT) neurons project to both cortex and thalamus, inducing multiple effects including the modulation of cortical and thalamic firing, and the emergence of high gamma oscillations in the cortical local field potential (LFP). We hypothesize that the high gamma oscillations driven by L6CT neuron activation reflect the dynamic engagement of intracortical and cortico-thalamo-cortical circuits. To test this, we optogenetically activated L6CT neurons in NTSR1-cre mice (both male and female) expressing channelrhodopsin-2 in L6CT neurons.

Recruitment of progeny to coral reef populations involves complex ecological interactions, influenced by environmental factors such as altered underwater light conditions associated with poor water quality. Here, we exposed newly settled corals (Acropora millepora and Acropora cf. tenuis), the sponge (Phyllospongia foliascens), and their substrate communities to various light intensities and spectral profiles relevant to turbid inshore reefs.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is an urgent global health priority given its high prevalence and impact as the leading cause of disability. While several efficacious treatments exist, most have modest effects. Improving outcomes requires a better understanding of treatment mechanisms to enable optimisation.
