Migration and Emission Characteristics of Trace Elements in a 660 MW Coal-Fired Power Plant of China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Trace elements (TEs) emitted from coal-fired power plants have caused widespread concern. The onsite investigation of TEs emission from a Chinese 660 MW pulverized coal (PC) boiler equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR), electric submersible pump (ESP), wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD), and wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) was conducted by using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 29. Simultaneous sampling of the coal, bottom ash, ESP ash, flue gas, and by-products from WFGD and WESP processes was performed. Results show that TEs mass balance rates for the entire system, furnace and each air pollution control device (APCD), are in the acceptable range of 70–130%, which confirms the validity and reliability of the field test data. The studied TEs are mainly distributed in bottom and ESP ash with the ratios of 2.11–12.15% and 87.83–97.83%, respectively, while little amounts of them exist in WFGD, WESP, and the stack. Coal combustion by-products such as bottom ash and gypsum have little influence on soil from the perspective of TEs while more attention should be paid to Ni, Zn, and Cd in the ESP ash. Waste water from WFGD should be treated carefully especially for Cr and Mn. WESP wastewater has no influence on groundwater except for Mn, Ag, and Sb. Zn, Ni, and Sb prefer to enrich in ESP ash while accumulation of Mn occurs in bottom ash. Ba is enriched in both bottom and ESP ashes. ESP has great removal efficiency for TEs with the value exceeding 99.87%. Both WFGD and WESP are capable of capturing TEs, which results in the overall removal rate across ESP + WFGD + WESP of more than 99.90%. TEs concentration in the flue gas emitted from the stack is extremely low with the range of 0.00–1.33 μg/m3. The ultralow-emission (ULE) coal-fired power plant equipped with SCR + ESP + WFGD + WESP has good effects on TEs emission control.

There is a relationship between the history of low birth weight LBW babies and the incidence of stunting in children under five at the Kassi-Kassi Makassar Health Center. There is a relationship between the provision of complementary feeding to the incidence of stunting in children under five at the Kassi-Kassi Makassar Health Center as shown by the results of statistical tests.
Animal Studies in PGBx.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The effects of PGBx, a newly synthesized polymeric derivative of 15-keto-prostaglandin B1, were tested in a number of experimental studies in monkeys, dogs and other species. Treatment with PGBx was found to markedly improve survival after a period of complete circulatory arrest and to restore cardiac function in monkeys and dogs. Pilot studies in attempts to develop a simpler animal or isolated organ test system for PGBx did not yield positive results. PGBx has no effect on normal tissues or organs but appears to have unique properties in restoring biological activity following tissue hypoxia or ischemia. Entirely novel experimental approaches are therefore needed to provide the appropriate and critical conditions for demonstrating and quantitating its biological activity. (Author)
A Novel C3v-Symmetrical Calix[6](aza)cryptand with a Remarkably High and Selective Affinity for Small Ammoniums

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The three-step synthesis of a calix[6]arene capped with a TAC unit is presented. The novel C(3v)-symmetrical calix[6](aza)cryptand displayed an exceptionally high affinity for small ammoniums. NMR and X-ray diffraction analyses demonstrated the formation of endo-complexes. These complexes are stabilized thanks to (i) hydrogen bonding to both the aza cap and one phenolic unit of the calixarene and to (ii) cationic and CH-pi interactions between the ammonium and the aromatic walls of the host. Combined extraction and competitive binding experiments yielded the free energies of bindings DeltaG degrees in chloroform. The values are the highest ever obtained with a calixarene-type host. Calix[6]TAC displayed the best affinity for EtNH(3)(+). Comparison with other small ammoniums emphasizes the high selectivity of the recognition process.
Both fibrosis-4 index and fibrosis-5 index can predict the prognosis of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Backgrounds: The Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and Fibrosis-5 (FIB-5) index are non-invasive indicators reflecting liver fibrosis. Previous studies show their association with acute heart failure and myocardial infarction prognosis. However, there are few reports on the relationship between the two indices and the prognosis of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Purpose This study aims to explore and compare the predictive value of both indices for PCI patient prognosis. Method Data for this study were obtained from a retrospective cohort comprising patients admitted to and discharge d from 72 secondary and tertiary hospitals between 2010 and 2023. Inclusion criteria comprised patients undergoing PCI during hospitalization. The initial test results of these patients after admission were collected, and the FIB-4 (FIB-4 = age (years) × aspartate aminotransferase (AST [U/L]) / (platelets [10^9/L] × alanine aminotransferase [ALT {U/L}]½) and FIB-5 (FIB-5 = [albumin (g/L) × 0.3 + platelet count (10^9/L) × 0.05] - [alkaline phosphatase (U/L) × 0.014 + AST/ALT ratio × 6 + 14]) indices were calculated. Patients were divided into low (N = 83082), medium (N = 16618), and high (N = 7932) FIB-4 groups, as well as low (N = 18642), medium (N = 12106), and high (N = 76884) FIB-5 groups based on predefined cutoff values. The primary endpoint was one-year cardiovascular mortality, with secondary endpoints including one-year all-cause mortality and one-year recurrent myocardial infarction. Results The study included 107,632 patients after PCI whose FIB-4 index and FIB-5 index could be simultaneously calculated during hospitalization. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that compared to the low FIB-4 group, both the high FIB-4 group (aHR 1.935; 95%CI 1.592-2.353) and the medium FIB-4 group (aHR 1.487; 95%CI 1.251-1.768) had an increased risk of one-year cardiovascular death (P0.05). Conclusions The present study indicated that both FIB-4 and FIB-5 could be used to predict the prognosis of patients after PCI. High FIB-4 index and low FIB-5 index were predictive factors for 1-year cardiovascular death, 1-year all-cause death, and 1-year recurrent myocardial infarction in patients after PCI, with no statistical difference in predictive value between the two.
Cimetidine Does Not Affect Plasma Cholinesterase Activity

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Blood samples were drawn from 10 ASA physical status 1 and 2 patients before (baseline) and after the administration of cimetidine to determine the in vivo effect of cimetidine on plasma cholinesterase (PCHE) activity. The in vitro effects of cimetidine at different plasma concentrations were also studied using the same blood samples. PCHE activity in the baseline samples was 432 +/- 4.6 (mean +/- SEM) U/ml, the dibucaine number 82. Administration of oral cimetidine (300 mg) the night before and 2 hours before surgery, failed to have any effect on PCHE activity (no in vivo effect). Plasma cholinesterase activity in the presence of cimetidine in vitro at plasma concentrations of 1.5, 15, 150, and 1500 micrograms/ml was 428, 420, 397, and 177 U/ml, respectively. Thus, in vitro data showed that cimetidine at plasma concentrations (1.5 to 15 micrograms/ml) achieved with clinical doses also has no effect on PCHE activity.

Synthesis of Refractory High-Entropy Alloy WTaMoNbV by Powder Bed Fusion Process Using Mixed Elemental Alloying Powder

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The growing interest in refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) in the last decade is mainly due to their thermal stability, outstanding mechanical properties, and excellent corrosion resistance. However, currently HEAs are still not considered for use as common structural materials due to their inherent drawbacks in terms of processing and machining operations. The recent progress witnessed in additive manufacturing (AM) technologies has raised the option of producing complex components made of HEAs with minimal machining processes. So far, this could be achieved by using pre-alloyed powders of HEAs that were mainly produced by a conventional arc melting furnace (AMF) in the form of small compounds that were transformed into powder via a gas atomization process. To significantly reduce the production cost, the present study aims to analyze the ability to synthesize HEA WTaMoNbV via a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process using mixed elemental alloying powder as the raw material. For comparison, a counterpart alloy with the same chemical composition was analyzed and produced by an AMF process. The microstructures of the tested alloys were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The physical properties were evaluated in terms of density and mechanical strength, while the electrochemical behavior was assessed by potentiodynamic polarization analysis. The results disclosed similarities in microstructure, physical properties and electrochemical behavior between HEA WTaMoNbV manufactured by the proposed LPBF process and its counterpart alloy produced by an AMF process.
Tarsal contact chemoreceptors of the black swallowtail butterfly Papilio polyxenes: responses to phytochemicals from host‐ and non‐host plants

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Tarsal contact chemoreceptors of the black swallowtail butterfly Papilio polyxenes (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) were stimulated with leaf‐surface extracts and ethanolic extracts of whole leaves of a host‐plant (Daucus carota) and a non‐host (Brassica oleracea). Both leaf extracts evoked large numbers of spikes but stimulated different receptor neurones. It is concluded that a large difference exists between the sensory responses to host and non‐host extracts. Two chemicals, luteolin 7‐0‐(6“‐0‐malonyl)‐β‐D‐glucopyranoside and trans‐ chlorogenic acid, known to be present in the host and known oviposi‐tion stimulants for P.polyxenes , were also tested and shown to be active. No responses were found to luteolin 7‐O‐β‐D‐glucoside or to luteolin 7‐O‐β‐D‐glucuronide. These flavonoids occur in D.carota foliage, but do not stimulate oviposition.
Characterization of the aggregation promoting factor from Lactobacillus gasseri , avaginal isolate

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Lactobacillus gasseri 2459, isolated from the human vagina, exhibits a strong autoaggregating phenotype. Filter-sterilized spent supernatants of this strain promote aggregation of Lact. plantarum LL441 and Enterococcus faecalis EF. Aggregation was abolished upon exposure of the cells to proteases and, in the case of Ent. faecalis, to metaperiodate, which suggests the involvement of cell-surface proteins and glycoproteins, respectively, in the aggregation phenotype. In accordance with this, a 75 kDa surface protein, and possibly another of approximately 94 kDa, appears in Lact. plantarum LL441 cultures incubated with Lact. gasseri culture supernatants. The diffusible aggregation promoting factor was purified from stationary phase culture supernatants and determined to be a 2 kDa hydrophilic peptide active at pH 3-4 and stable at neutral and acid pH. The activity was resistant to heat, chymotrypsin, chelating agents, triton X-100 and reducing agents, but sensitive to other proteases and SDS.

Reasonable Research Oversight: A Work in Progress.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

On January 19, 2017, the Office for Human Research Protections, released an updated "Common Rule" that was the product of a six-year administrative odyssey to modernize and improve the regulations that had been in place for more than thirty years. Although the impulse to update the regulatory landscape for human research is laudable, some of the changes proposed appear reactive and focused on making misconduct more difficult, rather than facilitating important science with reasonable safeguards. Instead of making research more difficult for all scientists across the board, a more sensible approach would involve better education of the public about the ways their specimens and data may be used to advance important scientific discoveries coupled with a legitimate method for holding bad actors accountable for deliberate violations of the rules. Regardless of what happens with the Common Rule, we need a reframing of research as a social good that requires reasonable oversight, not reactive rule making.
Initiation Timing of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Stimulation for Tendon-Bone Healing in a Rabbit Model

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) has been proven to be a beneficial biophysical therapy for tendon-bone (T-B) healing. However, the optimal time to initiate LIPUS treatment has not been determined yet. LIPUS initiated at different stages of the inflammatory phase may profoundly affect T-B healing. Purpose: An established rabbit model was used to preliminarily investigate the effect of LIPUS initiation timing on T-B healing. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 112 mature rabbits that underwent partial patellectomy were randomly assigned to 4 groups: daily mock sonication (control group) and daily ultrasonication started immediately postoperatively (immediate group), on postoperative day 7 (7-day delayed group), or on postoperative day 14 (14-day delayed group). Peripheral leukocyte counts at the inflammatory phase were used to assess postoperative inflammation. The rabbits were sacrificed at 8 or 16 weeks postoperatively for microarchitectural, histological, and mechanical evaluations of the patella–patellar tendon (PPT) junction. Results: The biomechanical properties of the PPT junction were significantly improved in the LIPUS-treated groups. Significantly higher ultimate strength and stiffness were seen in the 7-day delayed group compared with the other groups at 8 weeks postoperatively ( P < .05 for all). Newly formed bone expansion from the remaining patella in the ultrasonic treatment groups was significantly increased and remodeled compared with the control group. Micro–computed tomography analysis showed that the 7-day delayed group had significantly more bone volume and bone mineral content at the interface as compared with the other groups at 8 weeks postoperatively ( P < .05 for all). Histologically, the ultrasonic treatment groups exhibited a significantly better PPT junction, as shown by more formation and remodeling of the fibrocartilage layer and newly formed bone. Additionally, peripheral leukocyte counts displayed a significant increase from postoperative day 1 to day 3 in the immediate group as compared with the other groups. Furthermore, postoperative hydrarthrosis was more likely in the immediate group. Conclusion: LIPUS started at postoperative day 7 had a more prominent effect on T-B healing compared with the other treatment regimens in this study. Clinical Relevance: The findings of the study may help optimize the initiation timing of LIPUS for T-B healing.
