Research on the Compound Optimization Method of the Electrical and Thermal Properties of SiC/EP Composite Insulating Material by Xupeng Song, Xiaofeng Xue, Wen Qi, Jin Zhang, Yang Zhou, Wei Yang, Yiran Zhang, Boyang Shen, Jun Lin, Xingming Bian

“…Compared with the compound of different crystalline SiC, the advantage is that the introduction of a small amount of nanoparticles can play a strong role in enhancing the break-down field strength. For the filled composite materials, the thermal conductivity mainly depends on whether an effective heat conduction channel can be constructed. …”

Extending the uppermost pore diameter measureable via Evapoporometry by Zamani, Farhad, Jayaraman, Praveena, Akhondi, Ebrahim, Krantz, William Bill, Fane, Anthony Gordon, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Heretofore the pore diameter range measureable via EP was approximately from 4 to 150 nm. The lower limit is because the classical Kelvin equation breaks down at small pore diameters, whereas the upper limit is because the vapor pressure depression and corresponding evaporation rate associated with large pores becomes too small to be accurately determined. …”

Induction of Earlier Flowering in Cassava through Extended Photoperiod by Marcela Pineda, Nelson Morante, Sandra Salazar, Juan Cuásquer, Peter T. Hyde, Tim L. Setter, Hernán Ceballos

“…Five genotypes with contrasting flowering behavior were grown under dark night (DN) and extended photoperiod (EP) conditions for three seasons. EP was achieved with different red light emitting diodes (LEDs) with 625–635 nm wavelength all night long or through night-breaks. …”

Climatology and trends in the forcing of the stratospheric zonal-mean flow by Weare, B. C., Monier, Erwan

“…A trend analysis, from 1980 to 2001, shows that the onset and break down of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) stratospheric polar night jet has a tendency to occur later in the season in the more recent years. …”

Modes of Occurrence of Fluorine by Extraction and SEM Method in a Coal-Fired Power Plant from Inner Mongolia, China by Guangmeng Wang, Zixue Luo, Junying Zhang, Yongchun Zhao

“…The occurrence mode of fluorine in bottom ash and slag is inorganic villiaumite (e.g., soluble NaF, KF and insoluble CaF2) which is difficult to break down even at high temperatures. The occurrence mode of fluorine with the highest content in fly ash is physically adsorbed fluorine along the direction of the flue gas flow. …”

The Terrestrial Plastisphere: Diversity and Polymer-Colonizing Potential of Plastic-Associated Microbial Communities in Soil by Joana MacLean, Sathish Mayanna, Liane G. Benning, Fabian Horn, Alexander Bartholomäus, Yosri Wiesner, Dirk Wagner, Susanne Liebner

“…In essence, this study suggests the concept of a ‘terrestrial plastisphere’ as a diverse consortium of microorganisms including autotrophs and other pioneering species paving the way for those members of the consortium that may eventually break down the plastic compounds.…”

Feasibility of recycling styrofoam with acetone by Lim, Jin Feng

“…However, only 2% of the Styrofoam used worldwide is recycled as the recycling process involves great complexities in breaking down the material safely. A potential alternative to recycling the material is to ‘dissolve’ Styrofoam through a simple reaction with organic solvents. …”

Altering the interfacial rheology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus with N-acetyl cysteine and cysteamine by Sricharani Rao Balmuri, Sena Noaman, Huda Usman, Tagbo H. R. Niepa, Tagbo H. R. Niepa, Tagbo H. R. Niepa, Tagbo H. R. Niepa, Tagbo H. R. Niepa

“…To remove such biological materials, glycoside hydrolase-based compounds are commonly employed for targeting and breaking down the biofilm matrix, and subsequently increasing cell susceptibility to antibiotics.Materials and methodsIn this study, we evaluate the effects of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and Cysteamine (CYST) in disrupting interfacial bacterial films, targeting different components of the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). …”
