Abundant vanadium oxides nanoparticles (VOx NPs) release to environment during their production and application. However, little is known on their environmental behaviors, especially under the influence of ubiquitous organic matter (OM). This study investigated the transport of VO, VO, and VO NPs in saturated aquifer in the presence of humic acid (HA), the main dissolved OM in aqueous environment. HA at lower concentration (0.1 mg C/L) blocked the migration of VOx NPs, especially for VO NPs. With the increase of HA concentration to 0.5 mg C/L and 1 mg C/L, the mobility of VOx NPs increased. VOx-NPs migration also accelerated in actual aquifer medium with the addition of HA at 0.5 mg C/L. The experimental results were verified by XDLVO calculation of particle-particle and particle-medium energy barrier changes. The relative contributions of advection, dispersion, binding force, gravity, were quantified by MMS equation. The rate coefficient of VOx NPs transport in quartz sand was determined by the two-point dynamic attachment model of HYDRUS-1D. The particle trajectory model revealed the migration path of VOx NPs. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the migration of VOx NPs in environment, which is helpful to develop strategies for their risks management.

Background: Heterologous expression in Streptomyces provides a platform for mining natural products (NPs) encoded by cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) of bacteria. The BGCs are first engineered in hosts with robust recombineering systems, such as Escherichia coli, followed by expression in optimized heterologous hosts, such as Streptomyces, with defined metabolic backgrounds.
Results: We developed a highly efficient heterologous expression platform, named Micro-HEP (microbial heterologous expression platform), that uses versatile E.

Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) can be an early manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the associations among NPS, cognition, and AD biomarkers across the disease spectrum are unclear.
Objective: We analyzed cross-sectional mediation pathways between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD (Aβ1-42, p-tau181), cognitive function, and NPS.

The focus of this paper is on the analysis of the structural and electronic order-disorder effects at long, medium and short ranges of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles synthesized by the sol-gel process followed by the microwave-assisted solvothermal (MAS) method at low temperatures and short reaction times. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, micro-Raman (MR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used to characterize the TiO2 nanoparticles. Optical properties were investigated by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements performed at room temperature.

Template-free porous carbon nanofibers embedded by vanadium oxide and decorated with iron nanoparticles (Fe@V-CNF) were prepared in a time and cost-saving manner by combining electrospinning and heat treatment processes. Cost-saving ammonium metavanadate was used as a semiconductor precursor of vanadium oxide (VOx) as well as porogen. The generated pores in the carbon nanofiber (CNFs) matrix formed pathways between the embedded VOx and the surface of CNFs and Fe NPs, thus, facilitate photo-generated electron transfer.
