Microbial mechanisms underlying the reduction of N2O emissions from submerged plant covered system by Yongxia Huang, Min Deng, Shuni Zhou, Yunpeng Xue, Senbati Yeerken, Yuren Wang, Lu Li, Kang Song

“…In this study, SP and non-submerged plant (NSP) systems were set up and operated continuously for 189 days, revealing that SP reduced N2O flux by 42.4 %. By comparing the N2O net emission rates from water, sediment, and biofilms, we identified biofilms as the primary medium responsible for the reduction in N2O emissions in both SP and NSP systems. …”

Longitudinal relationship between baseline Weight-Adjusted Waist Index and stroke risk over 8 years in Chinese adults aged 45 and older: a prospective cohort study by Xiaoqiang Li, Xiangmao Zhou, Hui Du, Hui Wang, Zhijian Tan, Yaqing Zeng, Zhibin Song, Guifeng Zhang

“…In the fully adjusted model, participants in the highest WWI quartile had an odds ratio of 1.52 (95% CI: 1.19, 1.92) for stroke compared to the lowest quartile. Curve fitting revealed a linear relationship between WWI and stroke risk, consistent across various demographic and clinical subgroups.ConclusionHigher WWI is linked to an increased risk of stroke in aged 45 and older Chinese adults over an eight-year period. …”

Hydrogen bond interactions of coumarin-153 in molecular solvents: molecular dynamics and principal component analysis by Goloviznina, Kateryna, Dudariev, Dmytro, Miannay, François-Alexandre,  Kalugin, Oleg, Koverga, Volodymyr, Takamuku, Toshiyuki, Vitale, Raffaele, Idrissi, Abdenacer

“…Principal component analysis (PCA) was then performed on these distances to compare the unique structures surrounding donor bond atoms and identify patterns in the interactions between C153 and various solvent, such as acetonitrile, butyrolactone, propylene carbonate, methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol.Our findings demonstrate that, when C153 acts as a hydrogen bond donor, the interaction behavior of the H atoms that are close to the N atom and that of the H atom close to the trifluoromethyl F atom of C153 is substantially different. …”
