The WRKY transcription factors have been implicated in multiple biological processes in plants, especially in regulating defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little information is available about the WRKYs in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The recent release of the whole-genome sequ...

Abstract Bulk aerosol samples were collected from 16 July 2008 to 26 July 2009 at Lulang, a high‐altitude (>3300m above sea level) site on the southeast Tibetan Plateau (TP); objectives were to determine chemical characteristics of the aerosol and identify its major sources. We report aerosol (to...

Abstract Conversion of agricultural lands to urban uses affects regional and global climate not only through the release of greenhouse gases but also through altering land surface physical processes such as energy and water balances. Most existing studies on the meteorological impacts of urbanizatio...

Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) will inevitably enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to their widespread application; thus, it is necessary to study the migration and transformation of nanoparticles in sewage treatment systems. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) such as polysaccharid...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a favorable way to convert organic pollutants, such as food waste (FW), into clean energy through microbial action. This work adopted a side-stream thermophilic anaerobic digestion (STA) strategy to improve a digestive system's efficiency and stability. Results showed tha...

Abstract Under dual impacts from climate change and human activities, the Yellow River Basin (YRB) of China suffers from droughts and water scarcity. Understanding variations of terrestrial water storage (TWS) over the YRB is significant and beneficial to regional water resources management and sust...

In this study, zwitterionic polymer brushes with controlled architecture were grafted on the surface of gravity-driven membrane (GDM) via surface-initiated reaction to impart antifouling property. A variety of membrane characterization techniques were conducted to demonstrate the successful function...

Cancer treatment has a far greater chance of success if the neoplasm is diagnosed before the onset of metastasis to vital organs. Hence, cancer early diagnosis is extremely important and remains a major challenge in modern therapeutics. In this contribution, facile and new method for rapid multimoda...

Little is known about circular RNAs (circRNAs) in specific brain cells and human neuropsychiatric disease. Here, we systematically identify over 11,039 circRNAs expressed in vulnerable dopamine and pyramidal neurons laser-captured from 190 human brains and non-neuronal cells using ultra-deep, total ...

Abstract Urbanization is known to cause ‘Urban Heat Island’ (UHI) and elevate storm runoff. However, how urbanization influences local atmospheric moisture under global warming is not well‐understood. By examining 140 paired urban‐rural weather station data (1980–2018), this study finds significant ...

Aims Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is accompanied by different degrees of lipid disorders. The present study was conducted to determine whether inflammatory stress exacerbates lipid accumulation in podocytes and to investigate its underlying mechanisms in DN using ...

Abstract Sensing mechanism is still a big problem in the field of gas sensor. In‐depth study of the sensing mechanism can provide better ideas for the design of sensing materials, and it is also more conducive to the improvement in gas‐sensing performance. In this work, Ag/α‐MoO 3 material was obtai...

Chromium nitride (CrN) coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering onto Si(100) substrates. The coatings were then annealed at different temperatures (500–800 °C in steps of 100 °C) in air for 1 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron ...
