Compound exposure of 2.8 GHz and 9.3 GHz microwave causes learning and memory impairment in rats by Liu Sun, Xiaoya Wang, Ke Ren, Chuanfu Yao, Haoyu Wang, Xinping Xu, Hui Wang, Ji Dong, Jing Zhang, Binwei Yao, Xiaohui Wei, Ruiyun Peng, Li Zhao

“…In this study, we investigated the biological effects on rat's hippocampus after sequentially exposure to 2.8 GHz and 9.3 GHz at average power density of 10 mW/cm2. Morris water maze (MWM) navigation tests showed that microwave exposure significantly extended the average escape latency (AEL) at 1d and 3d after exposure, suggesting reduced learning and memory ability. …”

Compressible, anti-fatigue, extreme environment adaptable, and biocompatible supramolecular organohydrogel enabled by lignosulfonate triggered noncovalent network by Yihui Gu, Chao Xu, Yilin Wang, Jing Luo, Dongsheng Shi, Wenjuan Wu, Lu Chen, Yongcan Jin, Bo Jiang, Chaoji Chen

“…Herein, a “bottom-up” solution-interface-induced self-assembly strategy is adopted to develop a compressible, anti-fatigue, extreme environment adaptable, biocompatible, and recyclable organohydrogel composed of chitosan-lignosulfonate-gelatin by constructing noncovalent bonded conjoined network. The ethylene glycol/water solvent induced lignosulfonate nanoparticles function as bridge in chitosan/gelation network, forming multiple interfacial interactions that can effectively dissipate energy. …”

Composition of soil fungal communities and microbial activity along an elevational gradient in Mt. Jiri, Republic of Korea by Ana Mitcov, Daegeun Ko, Kwanyoung Ko, Jaeho Kim, Neung-Hwan Oh, Hyun Seok Kim, Hyeyeong Choe, Haegeun Chung

“…Soil microbial biomass correlated positively with increasing elevation and soil water content. The decrease in β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase suggests a reduction in fungal biomass with increasing altitude, while factors other than elevation may influence the increase in activity of the cellobiohydrolase, β-1,4-glucosidase and β-1,4-xylosidase. …”
