Thermal evolution of functional groups during pyrolysis of wheat and rice straws was investigated using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy at 200 °C to 400 °C. Aromatic rings transitioned through substitution states, with tri-/tetra-/penta-substituted configurations coexisting below 300 °C before complete conversion to tri-substituted forms. Oxygen-containing groups showed bifurcated behaviour: ether CO bonds decreased by 15.4-28.9 %, while lignin-associated CO bonds increased 47.1-68.5 %, with COC asymmetric stretching attenuating 9.5 %. Phenolic CO bonds became thermally labile above 350 °C. Alkane CH maintained structural stability below 350 °C. Hydroxyl groups displayed dual-phase evolution: 23.4-35.6 % intensity gain below 250 °C followed by >95 % depletion above 400 °C. Quantitative correlations between pyrolysis thresholds and functional group stability provided critical parameters for optimizing biomass pyrolysis.

Background: Fish are the largest group of vertebrates. Studying the characteristics, functions, and interactions of different fish cells is important for understanding their roles in disease and evolution. However, most single cell RNA-seq studies in fish are restricted to a few specific organs, leaving a comprehensive cell landscape that aims to characterize the heterogeneity and connections among body-wide organs largely unexplored.

Aberrant DNA methylation has been described in nearly all human cancers, yet its interplay with genomic alterations during tumor evolution is poorly understood. To explore this, we performed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing on 217 tumor and matched normal regions from 59 patients with non-small cell lung cancer from the TRACERx study to deconvolve tumor methylation. We developed two metrics for integrative evolutionary analysis with DNA and RNA sequencing data.

Planar optical elements incorporating space-varying Pancharatnam-Berry phase have revolutionized the manipulation of light fields by enabling continuous control over amplitude, phase, and polarization. While previous research focusing on linear functionalities using apolar liquid crystals (LCs) has attracted much attention, extending this concept to the nonlinear regime offers unprecedented opportunities for advanced optical processing. Here, we demonstrate the reconfigurable nonlinear Pancharatnam-Berry LC diffractive optics in photopatterned ion-doped ferroelectric nematics.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a critical yet kinetically sluggish process in electrochemical water splitting, severely limits efficient hydrogen production. Herein, a simple one-step dynamic hydrogen bubble templated electrodeposition technique is used to prepare a self-supported 3D porous NiCuFeP catalyst with outstanding OER performance. In 1.
