Synthesis, characterization, and process optimization of natural coagulants from jackfruit and durian seeds for turbidity removalNARA Subscribed
Starch was extracted from jackfruit and durian seeds using distilled water and alkaline methods, with higher yields obtained via distilled water (27.7% and 18.4%, respectively). The extracted starches were cationized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTA) to enhance coagulation performance. Characterization confirmed successful functionalization, with particle size increases of 32% (jackfruit) and 45% (...
Climate‐induced drought is a major threat to forest growth and ecosystem stability. However, the long‐term effects of drought on tree growth, especially across forests with contrasting stand structures, remain poorly understood. Based on 136,988 live tree records monitored from 1979 to 2017 in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, we assessed how drought intensity, species richness, tree density, and stand age influence long‐term...
The phyllosphere is a complex microbial ecosystem residing on plant leaves, hosting microbes that influence plant growth and fitness. The phyllosphere is sensitive to temperature and moisture, so understanding its response to climate warming and variable moisture associated with changes in seasons is crucial for predicting ecosystem function. We conducted a 12‐year warming experiment in a sub‐tropical forest by transplanting a...
The Influence of Heterogeneous Processes on the Physicochemical Properties of Atmospheric AerosolsNARA Subscribed
With the rapid development of the world economy, complex air pollution has increasingly become a serious threat; for example, with haze events occurring frequently in various regions of the globe. Recent evidence has indicated that secondary aerosols play an important role in haze formation, and that heterogeneous processes are among the main forces driving their explosive growth. In this regard, this paper reviews recent adva...
Leaf Photosynthetic and Respiratory Thermal Acclimation in Terrestrial Plants in Response to Warming: A Global SynthesisNARA Subscribed
Leaf photosynthesis and respiration are two of the largest carbon fluxes between the atmosphere and biosphere. Although experiments examining the warming effects on photosynthetic and respiratory thermal acclimation have been widely conducted, the sensitivity of various ecosystem and vegetation types to warming remains uncertain. Here we conducted a meta‐analysis on experimental observations of thermal acclimation worldwide. W...
Hemispheric asymmetry is a fundamental principle in the functional architecture of the brain. It plays an important role in attention research where right hemisphere dominance is core to many attention theories. Lesion studies seem to confirm such hemispheric dominance with patients being more likely to develop left hemineglect after right hemispheric stroke than vice versa. However, the underlying concept of hemispheric domin...
Electron microscopic analysis of the influence of iPSC-derived motor neurons on bioengineered human skeletal muscle tissuesNARA Subscribed
3D bioengineered skeletal muscle macrotissues are increasingly important for studies of cell biology and development of therapeutics. Tissues derived from immortalized cells obtained from patient samples, or from pluripotent stem cells, can be co-cultured with motor-neurons to create models of human neuromuscular junctions in culture. In this study, we present foundational work on 3D cultured muscle ultrastructure, with and wi...
Effects of Electronic Cigarette Vaping on Cardiac and Vascular Function, and Post-myocardial Infarction Remodeling in RatsNARA Subscribed
The effect of electronic cigarette (E-cig) vaping on cardiac and vascular function during the healing phase of myocardial infarction (MI), and post-MI remodeling was investigated. Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to left coronary artery ligation to induce MI. One week later, rats were randomized to receive either 12 weeks of exposure to purified air ( n = 37) or E-cig vapor (15 mg/ml of nicotine) ( n = 32). At 12 weeks, card...
