Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”

Ceria-boosted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for enhanced H2 production via acetic acid dry reforming by Nguyen, Anh Tam, Ng, Kim Hoong, Kumar, Ponnusamy Senthil, Pham, Thuy Phuong T., Setiabudi, Herma Dina, Mohammad Yusuf, Mohammad Yusuf, Pham, Le Kim Hoang, Thao, Bui T. Thu, Abdul Jalil, Aishah, Bahari, Mahadi, Al-Kahtany, Khaled, Vo, Dai-Viet N.

“…In this work, Ce promotion on 10%Ni/Al2O3 catalysts with 1-5 wt%Ce was evaluated for ADR at varied temperatures of 923–998 K and stoichiometric feed in a fixed-bed rig. CeO2 addition of 1–3% enhanced metal dispersion, and surface area whilst basic CeO2 character significantly boosted the concentration and density of basic sites on catalysts. …”

The stomatopod dactyl club : a formidable damage-tolerant biological hammer by Weaver, James C., Milliron, Garrett W., Mershon, William J., DiMasi, Elaine, Kisailus, David, Miserez, Ali, Evans-Lutterodt, Kenneth, Herrera, Steven, Gallana, Isaias, Swanson, Brook, Zavattieri, Pablo

“…The dactyl clubs from one species, Odontodactylus scyllarus, exhibit an impressive set of characteristics adapted for surviving high-velocity impacts on the heavily mineralized prey on which they feed. Consisting of a multiphase composite of oriented crystalline hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate and carbonate, in conjunction with a highly expanded helicoidal organization of the fibrillar chitinous organic matrix, these structures display several effective lines of defense against catastrophic failure during repetitive high-energy loading events.…”

Effects of varying pH on membrane distillation bioreactor operation by Wong, Qian Ying.

“…The literature review covers the effects of the retentate characteristics on membrane fouling. Since the feed-biomass characteristics will affect the membrane process (fouling and flux), a literature review on the effects of varying operational parameters which include organic loading, Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT), Solid Retention Time (SRT) and pH on retentate organic carbon concentration, biomass concentration and Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) production. …”

Splatter image: ultra-fast single-view 3D reconstruction by Szymanowicz, S, Rupprecht, C, Vedaldi, A

“…We apply Gaussian Splatting to monocular reconstruction by learning a neural network that, at test time, performs reconstruction in a feed-forward manner, at 38 FPS. Our main innovation is the surprisingly straightforward design of this network, which, using 2D operators, maps the input image to one 3D Gaussian per pixel. …”

STDCformer: spatial-temporal dual-path cross-attention model for fMRI-based autism spectrum disorder identification by Zhang, Haifeng, Song, Chonghui, Zhao, Xiaolong, Wang, Fei, Qiu, Yunlong, Li, Hao, Guo, Hongyi

“…We further propose integrating the dual-path attention into a tensor that retains spatiotemporal dimensions and utilizing 2D convolution for feed-forward processing. Our attention layer allows the model to represent spatiotemporal correlations of signals at multiple scales to alleviate issues of information distortion and loss. …”
