Four kinds of sandwich-structured c/c-Sic and c/c-Sic-Zrccomposites with or without a Sic interphase deposited by isothermal chemical vapor infiltration (IcVI), were designed and fabricated by a joint process of electromagneticcoupling chemical vapor infiltration (EcVI) and precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP). The fabricated composites are macroscopically nonhomogeneous materials with low density, high strength and low ablation rate. The interphase and matrix constituents had remarkable effects on the mechanical and ablation properties of these composites. The c/c-Siccomposites with an IcVI-Sic interphase exhibited the highest flexural strength of 306.5 MPa. While the c/c-Sic-Zrccomposites with the interphase showed the best antiablation performance with low linear and mass ablation rates of 0.37 mu m/s and 0.04 mg/cm2.s, respectively, after the ablation for 500 s under an oxyacetylene flame test at around 2000 degrees c.

Effect of fermentation parameters such as c/N ratio, specific growth rate, phosphate limitation, and plasmid instability on enhancing isoprene production is the focus of the current study. Isoprene productivity in the recombinant Escherichia coli K12_MVA strain showed a bell-shaped relationship with specific growth rate in bioreactor studies with isoprene volumetric productivity peaking at 0.35/h. This behavior was depicted by a production inhibition kinetic model which envisaged a serious competition between the cellular growth, acetic acid production, and isoprene biosynthesis. The model equation derived showed a reasonable fit with the experimental values. Judicious control of the growth rates and acetate accumulation by optimizing c/N ratio, phosphate concentration, and intermittent feeding strategy resulted in maximizing the carbon flux towards isoprene. Plasmid instability caused by metabolic burden posed by the presence of dual plasmids on the bacteria was simulated using first-order degradation kinetics. The experimental plasmid loss trend was in accordance with the model simulated trend, where higher plasmid loss correlated with higher specific growth rates. Modulating the growth rate, acetate accumulation, and plasmid instability resulted in achieving maximum isoprene volumetric productivity of 1.125 g/l/h with 46.67% of carbon flux towards isoprene and a isoprene titre of 18 g/l in 16 h fermentation run.

Disposal of animal carcasses by co-composting with animal waste usually selected conventional carbon to nitrogen (c/N) ratio around 25:1, in which the compost is widely used throughout the world. In this study, the pig carcass tissue blocks were sampled for composting at a laboratory scale to evaluate the effect of c/N ratio on the pig carcass compost. The time of thermophilic phase between 60 degrees c - 70 degrees c at a lower c/N ratio of 20:1 was significantly longer than that at the conventional c/N ratio, and it was the only one with the temperature beyond 70 degrees c that lasted for 2 days. Germination index and T value (the final c/N ratio / the initial c/N ratio) of the treatment with a c/N ratio of 20:1 were 94.67% and 0.69, respectively, meeting the standards of animal carcass compost. The degradation rate was 75.67%, and no significant difference was obtained as compared to the conventional c/N ratio groups. Organic fertilizer produced from the treatment with a c/N ratio of 20:1 was selected to evaluate the fertility by pot experiment of cayenne pepper compared with chemical fertilizer. The results showed that organic fertilizer from this treatment could significantly improve the growth of cayenne pepper. Overall, the use of the lower c/N ratio of 20:1 in the disposal of pig carcass by co-composting with swine manure could achieve the similar degradation rate as well as the maturity and stability of organic fertilizer as compared with the traditional c/N ratio at lab scale.

BAcKGROUND Nitrogen and sulfur pollutants have become an urgent problem in surface and groundwater. Short-cut denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX) is an economical and efficient biological nitrogen removal process. However, single heterotrophic denitrification and autotrophic denitrification face the problems of high treatment cost and high secondary sulfate pollution, respectively. Moreover, in real environments, single nutrient conditions are less common. Therefore, this work aims to study the process of mixotrophic short-cut denitrification coupled with ANAMMOX to achieve simultaneous nitrogen and sulfur removal. RESULTS Mixotrophic short-cut denitrification was successfully initiated on day 20, while the nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) was 81.47%. The optimal performance of the mixotrophic denitrification system was achieved when the ratio of sulfur to nitrogen to carbon (S/N/c) was 3/4/9, with S2--S, NO3--N, and cOD removal reaching 100%, 94.48%, and 95.48%, respectively, with a NAR of 94.24% and only 11.73 mg L-1 of SO42--S production. Modified Boltzmann and Gompertz models were found to be suitable to describe the removal of NO3--N, with both models exhibiting good data fitting (R-2 > 0.99). In addition, no distinctly dominant genus was found in the mixotrophic denitrification systems. Autotrophic, heterotrophic, and facultative denitrifying bacteria (such as Thiobacillus Pseudomonas and Halomonas) were found to coexist and synergistically perform denitrification. cONcLUSION Mixotrophic short-cut denitrification can achieve the efficient accumulation of NO2--N and reduce the amount of SO42--S production at the same time. Mixotrophic short-cut denitrification coupled with ANAMMOX can deeply remove sulfide, nitrogen, and organiccarbon. (c) 2022 Society of chemical Industry.

ceramic matrix composites of type c/Sic have great potential because of their excellent properties such as high specific strength, high specific rigidity, high-temperature endurance, and superior wear resistance. However, the machining of c/Sic is still challenging to achieve desired efficiency and quality due to their heterogeneous, anisotropic, and varying thermal properties. Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is considered as a highly feasible technology for advanced materials. cutting force prediction in RUM can help to optimize input variables and reduce processing defects in composite materials. In this research, a mathematical axial cutting force model has been developed based on the indentation fracture theory of material removal mechanism considering penetration trajectory and energy conservation theorem for rotary ultrasonic face milling (RUFM) of c/Siccomposites and validated through designed sets of experiments. Experimental results were found to be in good agreement with theoretically simulated results having less than 15% error. Therefore, this theoretical model can be effectively applied to predict the axial cutting forces during RUFM of c/Sic. The surface roughness of the workpiece materials was investigated after machining. The relationships of axial cutting force and surface roughness with cutting parameters, including spindle speed, feed rate, and cutting depth, were also investigated. In order to identify the influence of cutting parameters on the RUFM process, correlation analysis was applied. In addition, response surface methodology was employed to optimize the cutting parameters.

A series of LiFePO4/ccomposites are prepared under the conditions of pH = 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 via biosynthesis method. The X-ray diffraction demonstrates that all of well-crystallized LiFePO4/ccomposites can be successfully prepared by adjusting the pH value. The images of scanning electron microscopy show that the structure and size of different samples have obvious changes. Besides, the LiFePO4/ccomposite prepared at the value of 8 delivers a best discharge capacity of 158.7 mAh/g at 0.1 c. The results show that the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/ccomposites is governed by pH value.

Bicyclol is a synthetic drug for hepatoprotection in clinic since 2004. Preliminary clinical observations suggest that bicyclol might be active against hepatitis c virus(HcV) with unknown mechanism. Here, we showed that bicyclol significantly inhibited HcV replication in vitro and in hepatitis c patients. Using bicyclol as a probe, we identified glycolipid transfer protein(GLTP) to be a novel restrictive factor for HcV replication. The GLTP preferentially bound host vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein-A(VAP-A) in competition with the HcV NS5 A, causing an interruption of the complex formation between VAP-A and HcV NS5 A. As the formation of VAP-A/NS5 A complex is essential for viral RNA replication, up-regulation of GLTP by bicyclol reduced the level of VAP-A/NS5 A complex and thus inhibited HcV replication. Bicyclol also exhibited an inhibition on HcV variants resistant to direct-acting antiviral agents(DAAs) with an efficacy identical to that on wild type HcV. In combination with bicyclol, DAAs inhibited HcV replication in a synergistic fashion. GLTP appears to be a newly discovered host restrictive factor for HcV replication, Up-regulation of GLTP causes spontaneous restriction of HcV replication.

A novel Ti-Ni-Si brazing filler metal was designed and fabricated to braze the c/ccomposite and c/ccomposite, and c/ccomposite and TiAl intermetallic alloy at 1060 degrees c for 10 min. The interfacial microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated, and the enhancing mechanism of the joint strength was elucidated. The results showed that a perfect interface joint was achieved by using TiNiSi to braze the c/ccomposite. Ductile Ti3Sic2 carbide was formed at the interface, which is beneficial to the joint bonding effect. The direct joining between the c/ccomposite and TiAl alloy using TiNiSi filler metal was unsuccessful, which was attributed to the high content of intermetalliccompounds and hard-brittle phases in the brazed joint. The addition of a cu interlayer to the joint can adjust the interfacial structure and reduce the content of brittle compounds, leading to a complete connection between the c/ccomposite and TiAl alloy. The interfacial transition layer on the c/ccomposite side mainly consisted of Ti3Sic2, Ti3Alc ductile ceramic phases, and Tic phase, which enhanced the performance of the brazed joint. The average shear strength at room temperature was 18.8 MPa, with the maximum value of 23.6 MPa, and the average shear strength at 600 degrees c was 25.8 MPa.

Microsoft's next-generation platform, the NET Framework, offers a new language, c#, which aims to offer the power of c++ with the ease of Visual Basic. In this article, the authors consider the application of c# and the NET Framework to real-time systems. Their performance tests show that c and c# performance is comparable in some cases. However, they show that c# is not currently suitable for hard real-time applications and should be used for firm and soft real-time applications only with care.

Poor intrinsicconductivity has been a principal limiting factor for Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathode material. Herein, a synergistic strategy of Nb5+ substitution and constructing with three-dimensional rGO lamella is proposed for the first time to optimize the characteristics of NVP. The introduction of Nb5+ generates beneficial carriers and vacancies that optimize the electronic structure of NVP system. Meanwhile, rGO substrate can construct an effective conductive network for the facilitated electronic transportation and form a stabilized SEI layer after cycling to protect the active particles from being collapsed. This double treatment significantly improves the kineticcharacteristics of NVP. Moreover, theoretical calculations indicate that beneficial Nb5+ doping can effectively reduce the band gap between conductive and valence bands, as well as decline the energy barrier of migration for Na+. Notably, the modified Nb0.15-NVP/c@rGO exhibits impressive electrochemical performance. It delivers a capacity of 107.9 mAh g-1 and keeps a value of 102.6 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 2c with a high retention of 95.35%. It submits a capacity value of 97.2 mAh g-1 at 20c, 82.92% reversible capacity (80.6 mAh g-1) could be retained after 2000 cycles. Even at 120 and 300c, this material still performs high values of 84.9 and 71.3 mAh g-1, indicating the superior rate capability.
