description: With Monte Carlo simulations, we study the creep motion of a domain wall in the two-dimensional random-field Ising model with a driving field. We observe the nonlinear fieldvelocity relation, and determine the creep exponent μ. To further investigate the universality class of the creep motion, we also measure the roughness exponent ζ and energy barrier exponent ψ from the zero-field relaxation process. We find that all the exponents depend on the strength of disorder.

Identity Construction and Genetic Determinism: How Young People of Color Resist Racist Master Narratives

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The transition into adulthood is a time of deeply consequential identity construction, during which young people imagine and begin to pursue independent lives. I drew on identity theory, social identity theory, ideologies of racial essentialism and genetic determinism, and cultural conceptions of ancestry and identity, to explore how 20 young people of color (18 Latinx, 2 Black) age 18-24 have been constructing their identities and envisioning their future life trajectories. Using focused life history interviews, I elicited stories from participants about themselves, analyzed these using a narrative approach, and derived themes that captured participants’ experiences in their past, present, and imagined future that help them navigate through racist master narratives. Participants described how their lived experiences, especially participation in cultural practices and development of cultural knowledge from family and community members, had led to the construction of their ethnic and racial identities, and largely dismissed genetics as a factor in determining who they were or were capable of becoming. They also described how social structures, which limit their access to various forms of capital, have the potential to limit their life trajectories, which they resisted by constructing counter-narratives, positioning themselves as hard-working and persistent. These narratives were empowering them to set and pursue lofty goals for their future lives. Being members of supportive communities of family members, mentors, and other care-takers was also impactful on their imagined future life trajectories, and many participants embraced goals that focused on becoming care-takers and role-models as ways of reciprocally participating in their communities. To resist racial essentialism and genetic determinism, they strategically constructed stories of their future successes, though, in doing so, they positioned themselves as successful navigators of a racist system without engaging with the need for transforming oppressive structures. Those supporting young people of color as they transition into adulthood should be aware that having access to a wide variety of personal and social narratives is important for young people in order to create positive stories about who they are and are becoming. What is also needed is explicit engagement in critical analysis of master narratives prevalent in their lives.

description: Background: A formative Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) ultrasound (US) skills practicum is offered annually to HPB fellows in Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association-Fellowship Council (AHPBA-FC) accredited programs, using assessment tools for open (IOUS) and laparoscopic (LAPUS) US. The aim of this work is to collect validity evidence for the IOUS and LAPUS tools, while establishing and applying Mastery standards and to a sample of graduating fellows. Methods: Faculty Survey (content; consequential validity): Expert AHPBA faculty were surveyed to evaluate the importance of each IOUS and LAPUS skill and to set Mastery Angoff probabilities. Item-level Mastery Angoff cut scores were determined as the mean rating across all judges. The overall Mastery Angoff cut score was determined as the mean cut score across all items. Mastery Angoff cut scores were converted to the 5-point entrustment scale (i.e., cut score*5). Fellow performance (response process; consequential validity): Fellow performances were evaluated using the IOUS and LAPUS tools (entrustment rating) during two annual US skills practicums, and fellow experience was collected. Mastery Angoff standards were applied. This study met criteria for exemption by the University of Illinois-Chicago Institutional Review Board (2019-0265). Results: Data from 11 faculty questionnaires were included. The mean cut scores across all items (Mastery Angoff) was 92% (equivalent entrustment 4.6) and 91% (entrustment 4.5) for IOUS and LAPUS, respectively. The mean global cut scores (Mastery Global Angoff) were 96% (SD 6.4%) and 89% (13.8%) for IOUS and LAPUS, respectively. 78.5% (29/37) fellows agreed to have their de-identified data evaluated. The mean fellow performance entrustment scores (across all skills) were 4.1 (SD 0.6, range 2.6-4.9) and 3.9 (SD 0.7, range 2.7-5), while the mean global fellow performances were 3.6 (SD 0.8, range 2-5) 3.5 (SD 1.0, range 2-5) for IOUS and LAPUS, respectively. Conclusion: AHPBA-FC HPB fellows prior to graduation are not meeting Mastery Standards for HPB US performance determined by a panel of expert faculty. A change in educational policy or curriculum may be needed to improve fellow performance.

description: We compute the two-cocycles (or multipliers) of the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ and give conditions for simplicity of the corresponding twisted group $C^*$-algebras. These groups are representation groups for $\mathbb{Z}^n$ and can be considered as a family of generalized Heisenberg groups with higher-dimensional center. Their group $C^*$-algebras are in a natural way isomorphic to continuous fields over $\mathbb{T}^{\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)}$ with the noncommutative $n$-tori as fibers. In this way, the twisted group $C^*$-algebras associated with the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ may be thought of as "second order" noncommutative $n$-tori.

“To Care for Him Who Shall Have Borne the Battle”: Ex-Servicewomen and Gendered Discourse, 1918-1929

description: Historians have long neglected ex-servicewomen’s contributions to the veterans’ welfare state. This trend has been exemplified by widespread inattention to the postwar struggles of thousands of primarily White women who served during World War I as nurses, clerical workers, telephone operators, and welfare workers. Although feminist scholars have begun to revise the narrative to reconsider the first World War with their military service at the forefront, there has been little attention to their struggles during demobilization and reconstruction in the interwar years. As a result, there has been no analysis of the subsequent emergence and activism of their veterans’ service organizations. Yet, these organizations struggled to claim entitlement to the equal rights associated with military service. Despite evidence of such efforts, their influence on the development of the modern veterans’ welfare state remains largely ignored. The present dissertation addresses this gap by focusing on the interwar activism of the Women’s Overseas Service League (WOSL) – a group initially led by primarily White Anglo-Saxon Protestant ex-servicewomen. It sought to identify the ways in which traditional discourses surrounding gender and citizenship influenced the context for the WOSL’s interwar activism, 1918-1929. A thematic analysis of purposively selected historical data items from physical and online sources revealed influences in four areas, which affected the organization’s initial decision to seek equal rights through formal channels; its failure to obtain them; its decision to seek alternative activist strategies and objectives; and its success at earning and maintaining equal rights through alternative means. These results are explained in the backdrop of policy feedback theory. Key findings, contributions, and limitations are discussed. This study concludes with recommendations for future social work research, education, policy, and practice.

description: We use hyperbolic towers to answer some model theoretic questions around the generic type in the theory of free groups. We show that all the finitely generated models of this theory realize the generic type $p_0$, but that there is a finitely generated model which omits $p_0^{(2)}$. We exhibit a finitely generated model in which there are two maximal independent sets of realizations of the generic type which have different cardinalities. We also show that a free product of homogeneous groups is not necessarily homogeneous.

description: The origin of the accelerated expansion of the universe is still unclear and new physics is needed on cosmological scales. We propose and test a novel interpretation of dark energy as originated by an elastic strain due to a cosmic defect in an otherwise Euclidean space-time. The strain modifies the expansion history of the universe. This new effective contribution tracks radiation at early times and mimics a cosmological constant at late times. The theory is tested against observations, from nucleosynthesis to the cosmic microwave background and formation and evolution of large scale structure to supernovae. Data are very well reproduced with Lamé parameters of the order of 10^{-52} m^{-2}.

description: Resurgent transseries have recently been shown to be a very powerful construction in order to completely describe nonperturbative phenomena in both matrix models and topological or minimal strings. These solutions encode the full nonperturbative content of a given gauge or string theory, where resurgence relates every (generalized) multi-instanton sector to each other via large-order analysis. The Stokes phase is the adequate gauge theory phase where an 't Hooft large N expansion exists and where resurgent transseries are most simply constructed. This paper addresses the nonperturbative study of Stokes phases associated to multi-cut solutions of generic matrix models, constructing nonperturbative solutions for their free energies and exploring the asymptotic large-order behavior around distinct multi-instanton sectors. Explicit formulae are presented for the Z_2 symmetric two-cut set-up, addressing the cases of the quartic matrix model in its two-cut Stokes phase; the "triple" Penner potential which yields four-point correlation functions in the AGT framework; and the Painleve II equation describing minimal superstrings.

description: Noncollinear and noncoplanar spin textures in solids manifest themselves not only in their peculiar magnetism but also in unusual electronic and transport properties. We here report our theoretical studies of a noncoplanar order on a simple cubic lattice and its influence on the electronic structure. We show that a four-sublattice triple-Q order induces three-dimensional massless Dirac electrons at commensurate electron fillings. The Dirac state is doubly degenerate, while it splits into a pair of Weyl nodes by lifting the degeneracy by an external magnetic field; the system is turned into a Weyl semimetal in applied field. In addition, we point out the triple-Q Hamiltonian in the strong coupling limit is equivalent to the 3D π-flux model relevant to an AIII topological insulator. We examine the stability of such a triple-Q order in two fundamental models for correlated electron systems: a Kondo lattice model with classical localized spins and a periodic Anderson model. For the Kondo lattice model, performing a variational calculation and Monte Carlo simulation, we show that the triple-Q order is widely stabilized around 1/4 filling. For the periodic Anderson model, we also show the stability of the same triple-Q state by using the mean-field approximation. For both models, the triple-Q order is widely stabilized via the couplings between conduction electrons and localized electrons even without any explicit competing magnetic interactions and geometrical frustration. We also show that the Dirac electrons induce peculiar surface states: Fermi "arcs" connecting the projected Dirac points, similarly to Weyl semimetals.

description: The age of Internet of Things (IoT) has witnessed the rapid development of modern data acquisition devices and communicating-actuating networks, which enables the generation of big data streams shared across platforms for remote and efficient decision making of many critical systems. The monitoring of big data streams remains a challenging task in various practical applications mainly due to their complexity in interrelationships, large volume, and high velocity, which places prohibitive demands on monitoring methodologies and resources. To tackle the challenges of monitoring unexchangeable and correlated big data streams with only partial observations available under resource constraints, we propose a method by incorporating spatial rank-based statistics with effective data augmentation techniques for the online unobservable data streams that can analytically inform the monitoring and sampling decisions based only on partially observed data streams. By exploiting historical data, the proposed method preserves strong descriptive power of general big data streams under partial observations and can explicitly utilize the correlation among data streams, and thus allows effective monitoring and equitable sampling over general heterogeneous and correlated big data streams, which is free of simplified assumptions (e.g., exchangeability) compared to existing methods. Theoretical investigations are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the augmentation statistics as well as the sampling strategy, which guarantee the superiority of the sampling performance over existing methods. Simulations under various scenarios and two real case studies are also conducted to evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed method.

description: We study theoretically the impact of Zener tunneling on the charge-transport properties of quasi-metallic (Qm) carbon nanotubes (characterized by forbidden band gaps of few tens of meV). We also analyze the interplay between Zener tunneling and elastic scattering on defects. To this purpose we use a model based on the master equation for the density matrix, that takes into account the inter-band Zener transitions induced by the electric field (a quantum mechanical effect), the electron-defect scattering and the electron-phonon scattering. In presence of Zener tunnelling the Qm tubes support an electrical current even when the Fermi energy lies in the forbidden band gap. In absence of elastic scattering (in high quality samples), the small size of the band gap of Qm tubes enables Zener tunnelling for realistic values of the the electric field (above $\sim$ 1 V/μm). The presence of a strong elastic scattering (in low quality samples) further decreases the values of the field required to observe Zener tunnelling. Indeed, for elastic-scattering lengths of the order of 50 nm, Zener tunnelling affects the current/voltage characteristic already in the linear regime. In other words, in quasi-metallic tubes, Zener tunneling is made more visible by defects.

description: Classifying requirements is crucial for automatically handling natural language requirements. The performance of existing automatic classification approaches diminishes when applied to unseen projects because requirements usually vary in wording and style. The main problem is poor generalization. We propose NoRBERT that fine-tunes BERT, a language model that has proven useful for transfer learning. We apply our approach to different tasks in the domain of requirements classification. We achieve similar or better results F 1 -scores of up to 94%) on both seen and unseen projects for classifying functional and non-functional requirements on the PROMISE NFR dataset. NoRBERT outperforms recent approaches at classifying non-functional requirements subclasses. The most frequent classes are classified with an average F 1 -score of 87%. In an unseen project setup on a relabeled PROMISE NFR dataset, our approach achieves an improvement of 15 percentage points in average F 1 score compared to recent approaches. Additionally, we propose to classify functional requirements according to the included concerns, i.e., function, data, and behavior. We labeled the functional requirements in the PROMISE NFR dataset and applied our approach. NoRBERT achieves an F 1 -score of up to 92%. Overall, NoRBERT improves requirements classification and can be applied to unseen projects with convincing results.

description: Generating images from training samples solves the challenge of imbalanced data. It provides the necessary data to run machine learning algorithms for image classification, anomaly detection, and pattern recognition tasks. In medical settings, having imbalanced data results in higher false negatives due to a lack of positive samples. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been widely adopted for image generation. GANs allow models to train without computing intractable probability while producing high-quality images. However, evaluating GANs has been challenging for the researchers due to a need for an objective function. Most studies assess the quality of generated images and the variety of classes those images cover. Overfitting of training images, however, has received less attention from researchers. When the generated images are mere copies of the training data, GAN models will overfit and will not generalize well. This study examines the ability to detect overfitting of popular metrics: Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) and Fréchet Inception Distance (FID). We investigate the metrics on two types of data: handwritten digits and chest x-ray images using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) models.

description: With the booming growth of flexible human-computer interactions and telecommunications, it is desirable to fabricate a high-sensitivity strain sensor to monitor human movement and develop an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials to protect modern microelectronics and humans from electromagnetic damage. Herein, the biocompatible, stretchable, and compressible cellulose/MXene hydrogel has been prepared to first realize the dual-functional applications in strain sensor and EMI shielding. Two-dimensional MXene nanosheets serve as conductive sensing materials and fillers to construct conductive networks. The hydrogen bond interaction between them enhances the mechanical property of hydrogel. Benefiting from the excellent electrical conductivity and good mechanical property of the cellulose/MXene hydrogel, the resultant strain sensor displays excellent tensile strain (~144.4%), high sensitivity (gauge factor ~ -6.97), adjustable detection range (0-68.7%), fast response time (~100 ms), and great stability (~1000 cycles). It can monitor human motion, including pulse beating, speech recognition, writing sensing and pressure distribution induction of 4 × 4 sensor array platform. Moreover, the cellulose/MXene hydrogel presents an absorption-predominant EMI shielding performance in the frequency of X-band. This work provides a new inspiration for the development of multifunctional hydrogel in artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and EMI shielding technique.

description: In low-density plasma environments, such as the intracluster medium (ICM), the Larmour frequency is much larger than the ion-ion collision frequency. In such a case, the thermal pressure becomes anisotropic with respect to the magnetic field orientation and the evolution of the turbulent gas is more correctly described by a kinetic approach. A possible description of these collisionless scenarios is given by the so-called kinetic magnetohydrodynamic (KMHD) formalism, in which particles freely stream along the field lines, while moving with the field lines in the perpendicular direction. In this way a fluid-like behavior in the perpendicular plane is restored. In this work, we study fast growing magnetic fluctuations in the smallest scales which operate in the collisionless plasma that fills the ICM. In particular, we focus on the impact of a particular evolution of the pressure anisotropy and its implications for the turbulent dynamics of observables under the conditions prevailing in the ICM. We present results from numerical simulations and compare the results which those obtained using an MHD formalism.

description: The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the pattern formation phenomenon in reaction-diffusion equations coupled with ordinary differential equations. Such systems of equations arise, for example, from modeling of interactions between cellular processes such as cell growth, differentiation or transformation and diffusing signaling factors. We focus on stability analysis of solutions of a prototype model consisting of a single reaction-diffusion equation coupled to an ordinary differential equation. We show that such systems are very different from classical reaction-diffusion models. They exhibit diffusion-driven instability (Turing instability) under a condition of autocatalysis of non-diffusing component. However, the same mechanism which destabilizes constant solutions of such models, destabilizes also all continuous spatially heterogeneous stationary solutions, and consequently, there exist no stable Turing patterns in such reaction-diffusion-ODE systems. We provide a rigorous result on the nonlinear instability, which involves the analysis of a continuous spectrum of a linear operator induced by the lack of diffusion in the destabilizing equation. These results are extended to discontinuous patterns for a class of nonlinearities.

description: We present a fully parallelized grid-based parameter estimation algorithm for investigating multidimensional likelihoods called Snake, and apply it to cosmological parameter estimation. The basic idea is to map out the likelihood grid-cell by grid-cell according to decreasing likelihood, and stop when a certain threshold has been reached. This approach improves vastly on the "curse of dimensionality" problem plaguing standard grid-based parameter estimation simply by disregarding grid-cells with negligible likelihood. The main advantages of this method compared to standard Metropolis-Hastings MCMC methods include 1) trivial extraction of arbitrary conditional distributions; 2) direct access to Bayesian evidences; 3) better sampling of the tails of the distribution; and 4) nearly perfect parallelization scaling. The main disadvantage is, as in the case of brute-force grid-based evaluation, a dependency on the number of parameters, N_par. One of the main goals of the present paper is to determine how large N_par can be, while still maintaining reasonable computational efficiency; we find that N_par = 12$ is well within the capabilities of the method. The performance of the code is tested by comparing cosmological parameters estimated using Snake and the WMAP-7 data with those obtained using CosmoMC, the current standard code in the field. We find fully consistent results, with similar computational expenses, but shorter wall time due to the perfect parallelization scheme.

description: We investigate the X-ray and UV emission detected by RHESSI and TRACE in the context of a solar flare on the 16th November 2002 with the goal of better understanding the evolution of the flare. We analysed the characteristics of the X-ray emission in the 12-25 and 25-50 keV energy range while we looked at the UV emission at 1600 Å. The flare appears to have two distinct phases of emission separated by a 25-second time delay, with the first phase being energetically more important. We found good temporal and spatial agreement between the 25-50 keV X-rays and the most intense areas of the 1600 Å UV emission. We also observed an extended 100-arcsecond < 25 keV source that appears coronal in nature and connects two separated UV ribbons later in the flare. Using the observational properties in X-ray and UV wavelengths, we propose two explanations for the flare evolution in relation to the spine/fan magnetic field topology and the accelerated electrons. We find that a combination of quasi separatrix layer reconnection and null-point reconnection is required to account for the observed properties of the X-ray and UV emission.

description: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the leafhopper Atkinsoniella nigrita Zhang & Kuoh, 1993 was determined in this study. The entire sequence was 16,011 base pairs (bp) in length. The new mitogenome consists of a typical set of genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one control region of 1720 bp in length. The base composition of the mitogenome was A = 41.7%, T = 38.2%, C = 10.7%, and G = 9.4%. This is the classical structure for most insect mitogenomes without any gene arrangement observed. Compared with other known mitochondrial genomes of 15 Atkinsoniella species, the new mitogenome with three PCGs (ND2, ND5, and ND4L) shared the same gene base length, start codon and stop codon, and the shortest 12S rRNA (729 bp) and the longest tRNA-Lys (73 bp) within the genus Atkinsoniella. A phylogenetic analysis of 31 Cicadellinae and two Ledrinae concatenated sequences of 13 PCGs of their mitogenomes using Bayesian inference (BI) revealed that A. nigrita belongs to the genus Atkinsoniella with strong nodal support (BI posterior probability = 1).

description: La maitrise de la diffusion des bactéries multirésistantes (BMR) s’appuie classiquement sur les précautions complémentaires contact (PCC), en plus des précautions standard (PS). De nombreux travaux ces dernières années remettent en question cette politique, en particulier pour les Escherichia coli productrices de bêta-lactamases à spectre étendu (BLSE), et peut-être le Staphylococcus aureus résistants à la méticilline (SARM), où les PS sont suffisantes, sous réserve d’une bonne observance d’hygiène des mains avec les solutions hydroalcooliques. En revanche, une situation épidémique pour les Klebsiella pneumoniae et Enterobacter justifie une politique stricte de PCC avec chambre individuelle. La situation épidémiologique des bactéries hautement résistantes émergentes, entérobactéries productrices de carbapénémases (EPC) et entérocoques résistant à la vancomycine (ERV), justifie, elle aussi, la poursuite d’une politique stricte de dépistage et de PCC pour ces patients.

description: This upload contains an "Rdata" or ".Rds" file containing an R object and its environment used to generate the figures in the manuscript. The Seurat pipeline was used for single cell RNA-seq data analysis. In this study, CD4+ and CD8+ TILs from EMT6 tumor bearing mice with control and mSTAR1302 treatment were isolated and purified by magnetic separation. The mSTAR1302 treatment induces a shift in gene expression in TILs that promotes a highly active TEM and TEFF cell phenotypes immune to exhaustion and desensitized TCR signalling. 

The code used to generate the RDS data file has been deposited to GitHub under the repository "MarengoTx/scRNAseq-EMT6". The raw FASTQ files have been deposited to SRA (SRX19088718 and SRX19088719). The aligned files have been deposited at GEO under accession number GSE223311.

Time-resolved magnetic sensing with electronic spins in diamond

description: Quantum probes can measure time-varying fields with high sensitivity and spatial resolution, enabling the study of biological, material, and physical phenomena at the nanometer scale. In particular, nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond have recently emerged as promising sensors of magnetic and electric fields. Although coherent control techniques have measured the amplitude of constant or oscillating fields, these techniques are not suitable for measuring time-varying fields with unknown dynamics. Here we introduce a coherent acquisition method to accurately reconstruct the temporal profile of time-varying fields using Walsh sequences. These decoupling sequences act as digital filters that efficiently extract spectral coefficients while suppressing decoherence, thus providing improved sensitivity over existing strategies. We experimentally reconstruct the magnetic field radiated by a physical model of a neuron using a single electronic spin in diamond and discuss practical applications. These results will be useful to implement time-resolved magnetic sensing with quantum probes at the nanometer scale.

title: Dossier : la place du patient – Pairs aidants professionnels en santé mentale : faciliter l’accès aux soins et services axés sur le rétablissement
Creators: name: Jean-François Pelletier

description: Les services de santé mentale et les soins psychiatriques sont peu efficaces si les gens en souffrance n’y font pas appel ou n’adhèrent pas aux traitements. La sécurité de ces personnes ou de leur entourage n’est alors pas assurée, notamment si elles présentent un danger pour elles-mêmes ou pour autrui. Pourtant, nombreux sont les individus en souffrance psychique qui préfèrent attendre et continuer à souffrir plutôt que de consulter en santé mentale et en psychiatrie. De plus, les soins et services reçus peuvent ne répondre que partiellement à leurs attentes lorsqu’ils semblent ne porter que sur un symptôme auquel correspond d’avance une prescription précise. Cette indifférence perçue ne favorise ni la communication ni la satisfaction, de sorte que certaines personnes abandonnent leur suivi, se réexposant au risque associé au fait de rester sans soutien. Au contraire d’un système focalisé sur la réduction des symptômes, un système axé sur le rétablissement fait ressortir les capacités et les compétences de la personne grâce à la présence de pairs aidants professionnels dans les équipes de suivi. En personnifiant les soins et services de santé mentale et en se montrant à l’écoute des patients quant à la prise en compte de leurs problèmes psychosociaux et socio-économiques (donc autres que médicaux), les pairs aidants peuvent favoriser leur accès aux services et aux soins et le maintien de l’alliance thérapeutique nécessaire à l’efficacité du traitement, contribuant à diminuer le risque lié à l’abandon du suivi ou à la non-réception de ces services et soins. Ils jouent un rôle d’intermédiaire et traduisent les procédures hospitalières et leur savoir professionnel auprès des pairs aidés, et le savoir expérientiel et les capacités des pairs aidés auprès des professionnels.

description: Molten salt has been regarded as a versatile and environmental-friendly method for the material preparation and waste destruction. In this work, molten FeCl3 was utilized for the generation of magnetic biochar (MBC) derived from simultaneous activation and magnetization of biomass. The sample characterization indicated that MBC had a rough surface with BET surface area of 404 m2/g and total pore volume of 0.35cm3/g. Highly dispersed Fe3O4 and nitrogen could be deposited on the surface, leading to an excellent magnetization property. The MBC exhibited a great 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2.4-DCP) and atrazine removal performance in solution with the maximum adsorption capacity achieved 298.12 mg/g and 102.17 mg/g. Kinetics results demonstrated that MBC adsorption met the Pseudo-first-order model better. Molten NaOH-Na2CO3 was provided for the re-activation of exhausted MBC. 2,4-DCP was firstly desorbed from the MBC and subsequently destructed by the active species in the melt medium. Chlorine can be captured in the molten alkaline medium from the XRD pattern of residues.The MBC could be easily recovered with a yield of 98.2% and fixed carbon content of 61.0% after the molten salt regeneration process. With no 2,4-DCP detected, 65.5% and 31.69% of initial Cl was found in washing water and residues with the molten NaOH-Na2CO3, respectively. After 4 cycles of regeneration and adsorption, 60.55%-72.22% of initial adsorption capacity can be kept. This preparation and regeneration method can be an effective way to reduce the risk of secondary pollution of chlorinated organic compounds during adsorbent regeneration. Implications: Molten salt (MS) is a salt or multiple salts with a low melting point, and has been applied in many sectors and is regarded as a crucial role in terms of energy, environmental, and resource sustainability. In our paper, magnetic biochar was prepared by one-step activation and magnetization of fir dust using molten FeCl3∙6H2O. Meanwhile, a regeneration method using molten alkaline salt was provided. Magnetic biochar generated in our study performed well in the 2,4-dichlorophenol and atrazine adsorption. After four cycles of regeneration and adsorption, 72.2% of initial 2,4-DCP adsorption capacity can be kept.
