Using nanoclusters and single atoms with unique activity to replace nanoparticles is a promising strategy to enhance catalyst activity. However, stable loading of nanoclusters and single atoms remain a challenge. This paper reports atomically dispersed Pt bridged with metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived ZnO/c through carbon atoms (Pt-ZnO/c), by impregnation combined with calcination, for photocatalytic oxidation of NO. The MOF-derived ZnO/c has a larger specific surface area than pure ZnO. The presence of c enhances the visible light absorption, promotes the migration of photogenerated carriers, and more importantly facilitates the stabilization of Pt single atoms through Pt-c interactions. The Pt species present in the Pt-ZnO/ccatalysts in the form of single atoms and nanoclusters. The Pt-ZnO/ccatalysts show high NO conversion rates and selectivity towards NO3 /NO2 ions formation. Specifically, the NO conversion rate of 81.9% is much higher than those of ZnO/c (31.4%) and Pt nanoparticles loaded ZnO/c (Pt NPs-ZnO/c, 58.6%). In addition, the selectivity of NO3 /NO2 (i. e., 98.6%) formation over the Pt-ZnO/ccatalyst is much higher than that of NO2 (i.e., 1.4%). Furthermore, the photocatalysis tests and ESR results suggest that the Pt single atoms and nanoclusters can enhance the oxidation of NO by promoting the production of O2 & BULL;- and OH & BULL;. The DFT results also reveal that single Pt atoms promote the adsorption of O2 and H2O to form O2 & BULL;- and OH & BULL;. More importantly, OH & BULL;can promote the selective oxidation of NO to NO3 /NO2 ions. In addition, the projected density of states of single Pt atoms loaded on the ZnO/ccatalysts show that the presence of c atom bridge favors the stability of single Pt atoms because of the interaction between c and Pt atoms. This work provides a new strategy for the design of single-atom-loaded metal oxide catalysts.

A Mo-doping LiFe1-xMoxPO4/ccathode material was synthesized via carbothermal reduction route, and the effect of the content of Mo on the structure and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/c was studied. XRD results revealed doping of Mo did not change the olivine structure of LiFePO4/c, but also formed the Li+ vacancies, which contribute to increase the diffusion rate of Li+. The experimental results further demonstrated that among the Mo-doping samples, the LiFe0.98Mo0.02PO4/c exhibited the best cycle performance and rate performance. After 100 cycles at 0.1 c, its discharge specificcapacity reached 143.2 mAh center dot g(-1), which was about 10 mAh center dot g(-1) higher than that of pure phase LiFePO4/c. The capacity retention rate was 98%. When cycling at a rate of up to 5 c, the discharge specificcapacity of LiFe0.98Mo0.02PO4/ccan still be maintained above 90 mAh center dot g(-1), indicating that Mo doping was an effective method to improve LiFePO4/c electrochemical performance.

In solid organ transplantation (SOT), the clinical relevance of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) directed at anti-HLA-A, -B, -DR and -DQ antigens is largely recognized while it is still a matter of debate for DSA directed at HLA-c. In this review, we summarize the peculiarities of HLA-c among class I HLA antigens as well as their immunogenicity, which underlie the clinical relevance of HLA-c locus and anti-HLA-c DSA in SOT. Many factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the HLA-c gene and HLA-c protein, explain its lower expression in comparison with HLA-A and -B. This lower expression can explain the apparent lower immunogenicity of HLA-c leading to a lower prevalence and strength of anti-HLA-c antibodies. Nevertheless, HLA-c antigens are truly immunogenic and preformed anti-HLA-c DSA are clinically relevant. Indeed, anti-HLA-c DSA are able to bind donor cells and to activate the complement pathway both ex vivo and in vivo. In line with this, numerous clinical studies now show that preformed DSA directed at native HLA-c molecules induce poorer graft outcomes. We then plead for the inclusion of HLA-c in all transplant allocation systems and we propose a strategy to cope with anti-HLA-c DSA in SOT. Beyond SOT, anti-HLA-c antibodies generate a growing interest in the allo-HcT, transfusion and obstetrics fields, while new concepts such as the role of the "missing-self" in solid organ rejection places HLA-c as an inescapable actor in transplant tolerance.

For finite-strain problems of quasi-incompressible materials, with hyperelastic and hyperelasto-plastic behavior, we develop a mixed polynomial-enriched radial-basis function (RBF) interpolation. It is characterized by decoupling quadrature and polynomials for the deviatoric and volumetric terms of the right cauchy-Green tensor. With an enriched interpolation, first and second derivatives of the deformation gradient are continuous. A finite-element mesh is employed for quadrature purposes with the corresponding distribution of Gauss points. In terms of discretization, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials are combined and function support is established from the number of pre-assigned nodes. Due to the adoption of a Lagrangian kernel, finite strain elasto-plasticconstitutive developments are based on the Mandel stress. combined with the c technique, these developments are found to be convenient from an implementation perspective, as RBF formulations for finite strain plasticity have been limited in terms of generality and amplitude of deformations in the quasi -incompressibility case. Three benchmark tests are successfully solved, and it was found that a combination of reduced integration with a deviatoriccubic basis and volumetric quadratic basis provides superior results in the quasi-incompressible case. Numerical testing shows very good convergence behavior of the results. Besides absence of locking with selective interpolation, outstanding Newton convergence was observed regardless of strain levels.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is common in patients following gynecological surgery. coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) is an important part of the human coagulation system, and FVIII:c is a component of FVIII with anticoagulant activity. 800 patients who underwent gynecological surgery were enrolled. General clinical data were harvested, and pre - and postoperative serum FVIII levels were determined. Lower-extremity ultrasound examination and/or postoperative pulmonary angiography were performed. Related data were analyzed statistically. DVT was the first manifestation of venous thromboembolism in all cases. There were a total of 46 cases, and the incidence of DVT was 5.8%. Progression to pulmonary embolism was confirmed in 16 cases, with an incidence of 2.0%. The independent risk factors for DVT after gynecological surgery were postoperative FVIII:c levels (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01), age (OR = 6.57), and operation time >= 3 hours (OR = 2.90) (P < 0.05). When the FVIII:c level was greater than the 75th centile (>= 150 IU/dL), the risk of DVT was 2.99 times higher than that below the 25th centile (<100 IU/dL) (P < 0.05). When combined with the risk factor of operation time >= 3 hours, the risk increased to 3.17 times (P = 0.10). When combined with age >= 60 years, the risk was significantly increased, reaching 12.0 times (P < 0.05). Serum FVIII:c levels are an independent risk factor for DVT after gynecological surgery. Higher levels increase the risk of DVT after gynecological surgery, and they may have a dose-dependent relationship. A synergistic effect exists in combination with other risk factors, which further increases the risk.

The Imnyakh Formation (1500-1800 m thick), which is developed east of the Mama-Bodaibo Synclinorium (inner zone of the Patom Upland), comprises crystalline limestones (marbles) and carbonate shales (metamorphic marls). The carbon and strontium isotope compositions (delta c-13(av) = -9.0 +/- 0.4 parts per thousand, Sr-87 /Sr-86 = 0.70810-0.70845) in these rocks are completely identical to those in unmetamorphosed limestones of the Zhuya Group (outer zone) and the Torgo Formation (adjacent part of the Siberian Platform), which are comparable with the global Ediacaran c isotope anomaly (Shuram-Wonoka event). Metamorphism was not accompanied by the removal of Sr whose content in marbles of the Imnyakh Formation are as high (up to 6290 mu g/g) as in limestones of the Zhuya Group in the deepest parts of the Patom paleobasin. Thus, metamorphism was only manifested in the depletion of rocks with the heavy oxygen isotope by 3-4 parts per thousand (delta O-18(av) = 17.2 +/- 1 parts per thousand), relative to unmetamorphosed limestones. carbonates of the pre-Imnyakh black carbonate-bearing shales and deep black crystalline limestones in the Khomolkha and Ugakhan formations are characterized by wide variations of delta c-13 (-4.0 to 7 parts per thousand) and delta O-18 (15.2 to 23.4 parts per thousand), indicating strong postsedimentary alterations. Nevertheless, their Early Vendian (Early Ediacaran) age is confirmed by such features as position in the section, abnormally high delta c-13 values, and the minimum value Sr-87 /Sr-86 = 0.70753 recorded in a sample with the Sr content of 11700 mu g/g. Although the isotope systems of carbonates in the Sogdiondon and Vitim formations (delta c-13 -14.2 to -3.7 parts per thousand, delta O-18 12.2 to 13.4 parts per thousand, and 8(87)Sr/Sr-86 0.71120 to 0.71337) occurring at the Neoproterozoic sequence base in the Zhuya River underwent even stronger modification, it is possible that delta c-13 values in these formations were initially ne

Acacia mangium plantations in Sabah, Malaysia are seriously affected by a vascular wilt and canker disease caused by a species of ceratocystis. A similar and devastating disease occurs in Indonesia and is caused by the fungal pathogen ceratocystis manginecans. A closely related fungus, ceratocystis fimbriata sensu stricto, is a common soil-borne pathogen of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) in areas of Malaysia where A. mangium is grown. This study characterised the species causing wilting on A. mangium and compared it with the I. batatas pathogen using DNA sequence-based comparisons used artificial inoculations to assess the effect of the A. mangium pathogen on Acacia auriculiformis and Acacia crassicarpa and considered the ability of the sweet potato pathogen to cause disease on the three Acacia species. DNA sequence comparisons confirmed that isolates from diseased A. mangium were c. manginecans and those on sweet potato were c. fimbriata s.s. ceratocystis manginecans was pathogenic on all Acacia spp., with A. mangium being most susceptible followed by =A. auriculiformis and A. crassicarpa. Pathogenicity tests showed that c. fimbriata s.s. from sweet potato is not able to cause disease on any of the three Acacia spp. considered. This study also confirmed that c. manginecans is the primary cause of ceratocystis canker and wilt disease in Sabah and that the sweet potato fungus, c. fimbriata s.s., poses no threat to propagated Acacia spp.

Aerobic denitrification is a feasible and sustainable process for nitrogen removal in environmental protection. The c/N ratio was the vital one that has a significant impact on the performance. However, comprehension of the c/N ratio effect on this bioprocess was not well clarified. In this study, the response of an aerobic denitrifier (Pseudomonas balearica strain RAD-17) to the c/N ratio was investigated from a view of metabolism. It was found that a high total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency of about 95% was achieved with the dosing c/N ratio of 7.5, while only a slight increase when the dosing c/N ratios were further increased to a high range of 10-30. The carbon validity was out of sync with TN removal and a balance between the two was realizable at a dosing c/N ratio of 7.5 based on the economicconsideration. Moreover, weakened assimilation while enhanced respiration along with the increased c/N ratios was revealed, evidenced by the decreased net intracellular nitrogen and increased nitrogenous gas proportions in nitrogen balance analysis. The growth characteristics in terms of cell number and OD600 showed a division for the high flux of nitrate and organics directed to assimilation and respiration, respectively. The expression levels of carbon and nitrate metabolism-related function genes in P. balearica supported the results above. The c/N ratio of 5.0-7.5 was supposed to be the turning region for the metabolism division between assimilation and respiration in aerobic denitrifying. The results are expected to offer a guideline for the decision made for organics supply for the aerobic denitrification process and support its sustainable application.
