Unraveling nitrogen loss in paddy soils: A study of anaerobic nitrogen transformation in response to various irrigation practice
This study addressed the gap by investigating the contributions of soil denitrification, anammox, and Feammox to N2 loss in paddy soil across varying soil depths, employing different fertilization and irrigation practices by utilizing N stable isotope technique for comprehensive insights. The results showed that anaerobic N transformation processes decreased with increasing soil depth under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation, but increased with the increasing soil depth under conventional continuous flooding (CF) irrigation. The denitrification and anammox rates varied from 0.41 to 2.12 mg N kg-1 d-1 and 0.062-0...

The effect of spent coffee ground (SCG) loading, matrix ratio and biological treatment of SCG on poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) polymer blend
This study investigates the effects of SCG embedded into biodegradable polymer blends and aimed to formulate and characterise biomass-reinforced biocomposites using spent coffee ground (SCG) as reinforcement in PHB/PLA polymer blend. The effect of SCG filler loading and varying PHB/PLA ratios on the tensile properties and morphological characteristics of the biocomposites were examined. The results indicated that tensile properties reduction could be due to its incompatibility with the PHB/PLA matrixSCG aggregation at 40 wt% content resulted in higher void formation compared to lower content at 10 wt%. A PHB/PLA ratio of 5...

Standardisation of Definition and Management for Bleeding Disorder of Unknown Cause: Communication from the SSC of the ISTH
J Thromb Haemost. 2024 Mar 20:S1538-7836(24)00163-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jtha.2024.03.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn many patients referred with significant bleeding phenotype, laboratory testing fails to define any hemostatic abnormalities. Clinical practise with respect to diagnosis and management of this patient cohort poses significant clinical challenges. We recommend that bleeding history in these patients should be objectively assessed using the ISTH bleeding assessment tool (BAT). Patients with increased BAT scores should progress to hemostasis laboratory testing. To diagnose BDUC, normal complete blood count, pr...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1419: Preparations of 25 wt% of Pyraclostrobin Nanosuspension Concentrate (SC) Using Lignosulfonate-Based Colloidal Spheres to Improve Its Thermal Storage Stability
Yuxia Pang
Improving the thermal storage stability of nanosuspension concentrate (SC) prepared from low-melting-point pesticide is a recognized problem. In this work, using pyraclostrobin as the raw material, 25 wt% of pyraclostrobin nano-SC was prepared through a water-based grinding method, and the optimal grinding conditions were obtained as follows: a grinding time of 23 h, D-3911 as dispersant and a dispersant dosage of 12 wt%. The pyraclostrobin nano-SC D90 size prepared based on this best formula was 216 nm. Adding glycerin could improve the stability of nano-SC at room temperature, but its thermal storage stab...

Wetting of alginate aerogels, from mesoporous solids to hydrogels: a small-angle scattering analysis
Mesoporous polysaccharide aerogels are versatile functional materials for drug delivery and wound dressing devices. The hydration and wetting of these aerogels control their application-related performance, e.g. the release of encapsulated drugs. Reported here is a detailed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) analysis of the hydration mechanism of a calcium alginate aerogel, based on mathematical modelling of the scattering. The model accounts for the hierarchical structure of the material comprising a mesoporous structure, the solid skeleton of which is made up of water-swollen polymers. At large scale, the mesoporous s...

Abnormal microstructure of corpus callosum in children with primary nocturnal enuresis: a DTI study
This study aimed to evaluate the microstructure of the CC in children with PNE. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) indices were extracted throughout the CC and its seven subregions were compared between the children with PNE and healthy children (HC). The correlation between abnormal DTI indices of the CC and cognitive condition was also tested. Compared to HC, decreased fiber number (NF) (F = 8.492,PFDR = 0.032) and fractional anisotropy (FA) value (F = 8.442,PFDR = 0.040) were found in the posterior midbody of the CC, increased RD was found in the posterior midbody (F = 6.888,PFDR = 0.040) and isthmus (F = 7....

The role of air relative humidity on the wettability of Pseudomonas fluorescens AR11 biofilms
In this study, we controlled water content in Pseudomonas fluorescens AR 11 biofilms grown on submerged glass slides by regulating environmental relative humidity after drying. Interfacial properties of biofilm were investigated by measuring wetting of water and soybean oil. The morphology of biofilm structure was evaluated using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results showed that biofilm water content has a significant and measurable effect on its wettability, leading to the hypothesis that a preliminary control of water content can play a crucial role in biofilm removal process.PM...

Case report: A novel mutation of glial fibrillary acidic protein gene causing juvenile-onset Alexander disease
We present the case of a 19-year-old girl who developed gait ataxia and subtle involuntary movements, preceded by a history of enuresis and severe scoliosis. Her mother has been affected by ataxia since her childhood, which was then complicated by pyramidal signs and heavily worsened through the years. Beyond her mother, no other known relatives suffered from neurologic syndromes. The scenario was further complicated by a complex brain and spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern in both mother and daughter. However, the similar clinical phenotype made an inherited cause highly probable. Both AD and autosomal r...
