Tribochemical synthesis of functionalized covalent organic frameworks for anti-wear and friction reduction by Xiaozhi Zhang, Qi Lu, Yaojie Yan, Tingting Zhang, Shujuan Liu, Meirong Cai, Qian Ye, Feng Zhou, Weimin Liu

“…In this paper, we report the successful synthesis of the silicon oil (SO)-functionalized covalent organic frameworks (COFs) prepared via the tribochemical method when subjected to the reciprocating friction; during the friction process, the rich aldehyde-terminated COFs can bond with amino SO via the Schiff base reaction between aldehyde group and amino group to obtain the desired functionalized COFs (SO@COF-LZU1). …”

Effects of Exercise Training on Cardiac Function in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction by Hidekatsu Fukuta

“…Meta-analysis of the trials indicates that exercise training can provide clinically relevant improvements in exercise capacity without significant change in left ventricular structure or function in HFpEF patients. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the exact mechanisms of exercise intolerance in HFpEF patients and to develop recommendations regarding the most effective type, intensity, frequency, and duration of training in this group.…”

Analysis of Microbial Community Structure and Denitrification Mechanism by Functional Bacteria in HMBR System by LI Ying, SHI Haochen, LIU Qiang, ZHENG Xiaoying, ZHENG Jiaxiong, XIANG Wei, QU Jixiang

“…This paper operates a hybrid membrane bioreactors (HMBR) under the conditions of 30 days of sludge retention time (SRT) and 10 hours of hydraulic retention time (HRT), collects the activated sludge samples in the membrane filament surface, filler surface and mixed liquid and detects & analyzes the microbial community structures of activated sludge in the three positions through high-throughput sequencing, discusses the community structures and the difference of denitrifying bacteria of the three samples, and analyzes the denitrification mechanism of HMBR from the perspective of microorganism function. The results show that the dominant group in the HMBR system is Proteobacteria, accounting for 62.18% of the total clones. …”
