Metal and metal oxide nanomaterials for heavy metal remediation: novel approaches for selective, regenerative, and scalable water treatment by David B. Olawade, David B. Olawade, David B. Olawade, Ojima Z. Wada, Bamise I. Egbewole, Oluwaseun Fapohunda, Abimbola O. Ige, Sunday Oluwadamilola Usman, Olawale Ajisafe

“…The review identifies several promising nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and metal-organic frameworks, which exhibit high surface areas, tunable surface chemistries, and excellent adsorption capacities. Surface functionalization with specific functional groups (e.g., carboxyl, amino, thiol) significantly enhances the selectivity for target heavy metal ions. …”

Source-load coordinated optimal scheduling strategy considering solar thermal biomass utilization under integrated demand response incentives by ZHANG Yewei, WEN Zhong, WANG Can, NI Zhi, YAN Wenwen, HU Chuanbao

“…Secondly, on the load side, both price-based and substitution-based demand responses are introduced to improve the low-carbon performance of the IES through source-load coordinated optimization. Then, a liquid storage carbon capture system and a tiered carbon tax mechanism are introduced in the IES to enhance the system's low-carbon economic benefits, establishing an objective function to maximize the system's total revenue. …”

Enterococcus faecalis strains derived from wild bird provide protection against Clostridium perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers by Gerui Zhang, Ainul Zahra, Tianrui Yang, Qiyu Guo, Yan Sun, Yuhang Zhang, Yupeng Gao, Yuxi Zhang, Mingyue Wang, Jingshuo Gong, Haibin Huang, Zhannan Wang, Chunfeng Wang, Yanlong Jiang

“…IntroductionNecrotic enteritis (NE), caused by Clostridium perfringens, has seen a surge in chicken populations recently due to the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in feed.MethodsIn this research, screening and identification of probiotics with strong antagonistic ability against C. perfringens from 34 wild bird fecal isolates, followed by analysis of probiotic characteristics and carbon source metabolic activity. Strains exhibiting favorable antagonistic activity against C. perfringens were subsequently employed in vivo study to evaluate their protective efficacy against C. perfringens challenge in locally-sourced broilers.ResultsThe results showed that Enterococcus faecalis strains YL-EF25 and YL-EF32 were selected based on their ability to inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of C. perfringens. …”
