“…Follow-ups by BOOTES-1B from 2005 to 2008 were given in a previous article and are here reviewed and updated, and additional detection data points are included as the former article merely stated their existence. The all-sky cameras CASSANDRA have not yet detected any GRB optical afterglows, but limits are reported where available.…”

Enrichment of electrotrophic microorganisms from contrasting shallow-sea hydrothermal environments in bioelectrochemical reactors by Antoine Carissimo, Victoria Comes, Alenica Heussner, Anne-Hélène Prime, Roy E. Price, Gaël Erauso, Pierre-Pol Liebgott, Sven Kerzenmacher, Guillaume Pillot

“…In Panarea reactors, higher growth was correlated with a few bacterial genera, mainly Bacillus and Pseudoalteromonas, including, for the former, at higher temperatures (55°C and 75°C). In reactors reproducing the Prony Bay hydrothermal conditions, known facultative methylotrophs, such as Sphingomonas and Methylobacterium, were dominant and appeared to consume formate (provided as carbon source) but no electrons from the cathode.ConclusionThese results provide new insights into the distribution and diversity of electrotrophs in shallow-sea hydrothermal vents and allow the identification of potential novel biocatalysts for Microbial Electrosynthesis whereby electricity and carbon dioxide are converted into value-added products.…”

Comprehensive Effect of the Time and Water-Cement Ratio on the Rheological Properties of Power-Law Cement Grouts by Yang Zhi-quan, Ding Yi, Mi Ya-peng, Zhu Ying-yan, Yang Yi, Guo Yan-hui, Zhang Bi-hua, Li Shi-hou, Su Jian-kun, Chen Jun-zhi, Xu Wan-zhong, Liu Wan-lin, Liu Hao, Wang Yu-dong

“…The results showed that the water-cement ratio had a great influence on both the consistency coefficient and the rheological index of the power-law cement grouts. The former appeared to have a downward trend with the increase of the water-cement ratio, and the latter appeared to have an upward trend. …”

The role of the estimated glomerular filtration rate and body roundness index in the risk assessment of uric acid-lowering therapy-resistant gout in U.S. adults: evidence from the... by Mengyuan Zhu, Xingqiang Wang, Zining Peng, Weitian Yan, Qian Deng, Meihui Li, Nian Liu, Ling Zhang

“…We explored the relationships of the eGFR, BRI, and VAI with UALT-RG risk via univariable and multivariable weighted logistic regression, trend analysis, and restricted cubic splines.Results Among the 1,811 patients with gout, ∼9.08% had UALT-RG; these patients were more likely to have obesity, comorbid diabetes (36% [27–47%] vs. 25% [22–28%]) or impaired kidney function (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, 34.5% [27–43%] vs. 22.5% [20–26%]); be former smokers; and take colchicine (10% [5.6–19%] vs. 4.3% [2.8–6.7%]). …”

Characterization of subcutaneous and visceral de-differentiated fat cells by Yan Li, Houyu Zhang, Carlos F. Ibáñez, Meng Xie

“…In addition, DFAT cells derived from adipocytes of inguinal origin have dramatically higher adipogenic potential than DFAT cells of the epididymal origin, due in part to enhanced NF-KB signaling in the former. We also show that high-fat diet (HFD) feeding enhances DFAT cell colony formation and re-differentiation into adipocytes, while switching from HFD to chow diet (CD) only reverses their re-differentiation. …”
