H* < sub > ads < /sub > dynamics engineering via bimetallic Pd-Cu@MXene catalyst for enhanced electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination
In this study, bimetallic Pd-Cu@MXene catalysts were synthesized to achieve highly efficient removal of HECs. The alloy electrode (Pd-Cu@MX/CC) exhibited better EHDC performance in comparison to Pd@MX/CC electrode, resulting in diclofenac degradation efficiency of 93.3 ± 0.1%. The characterization analysis revealed that the Pd0/PdII ratio decreased by forming bimetallic Pd-Cu alloy. Density functional theory calculations further demonstrated the electronic configuration modulation of the Pd-Cu@MXene catalysts, optimizing binging energies for H* and thereby facilitating H*ads production and tuning the reduction capability ...

Analyzing the response of rice to tefuryltrione herbicide: Haplotype variation and evolutionary dynamics of the HIS1 gene
This study explores the genetic landscape of HIS1 within Korean rice (KRICE), aiming to unveil genetic variations, haplotype diversity, and evolutionary relationships across diverse rice ecotypes. The indica ecotype showed the highest nucleotide diversity, while the wild and temperate japonica groups exhibited low diversity, hinting at selective sweeps and possible population expansion. Negative Tajima's D values in temperate japonica and wild groups indicate an excess of low-frequency mutations, potentially resulting from selective sweeps. In contrast, with positive Tajima's D values, admixture indica, and aus, groups sug...
