Analyzing and modelling the relationship between particle size and size distribution of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in vivo represents an important challenge to properly assess the environmental fate and effects of NPs. This study used single-particle ICP-MS to investigate how three sizes of...

“Bottom-up” visual perception is fast, universal, and does not depend on personal goals or experience. Where exactly bottom-up attention is directed in a visual image-- usually based on contrast, color, feature orientation, and centrality-- can be accurately predicted by machine-learned...

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are used to study language, sleep, and other processes that reflect probabilistic transitions between states that cannot be observed directly. We apply HMMs to data from experiments on visual location games. In these games, people choose a pixel from an image. They...

The per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are substantially produced and applied in industrial and domestic products, which have recently aroused great public concern for their potential toxicity to humans. In the present study, raw milk (n = 107) and cow feed samples (n = 70) were...

Rational design of non-noble metal catalysts for alkaline electrochemical water splitting under large current densities is of great significance for realizing hydrogen economy and remains a daunting challenge. Herein, a series of crystalline CoMP-decorated (M=Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn) amorphous CoM...

China's coal resources are being mined gradually deeper. Compared with the shallow part, the content and the emission of gas are significantly increased in the deep coal seam. In the mining of the highly-gassy coal seam, strengthening gas drainage in the goaf and fissure zone can improve the...

The innovative software system "myEcoCost" enables to gather and communicate resource and environmental data for products and services in global value chains. The system has been developed in the consortium of the European research project myEcoCost and forms a basis of a new, highly automated...

A Bi 2 MoO 6 /carbon quantum dots/Bi 2 S 3 (BMO/CQDs/BIS) was successfully fabricated as a high-efficient photocatalyst for degradation of some persistent organic pollutants and reduction of Cr (Ⅵ), in which the CQDs was derived from waste sludge biomass. The conversion photoluminescence and...

A dual-function S-scheme Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 /Ag 3 PO 4 (CA) heterojunction photocatalyst with nano-flower structure was synthesized to achieve green energy hydrogen (H 2 ) production and persistent organic pollutants degradation under visible light. The high crystalline quality and strong interface...
