Metabolomic Insights into the Allelopathic Effects of <i>Ailanthus altissima</i> (Mill.) Swingle Volatile Organic Compounds on the Germination Process of <i>Bidens pilosa</i> (L.) by Leonardo Bruno, Diana M. Mircea, Fabrizio Araniti

“…<b>Results:</b> Our findings revealed that VOCs from <i>A. altissima</i> significantly inhibited the germination speed and overall germination rates of <i>B. pilosa</i> in a dose-dependent manner. Metabolomic profiling showed disruptions in energy and amino acid metabolism pathways, specifically involving delayed breakdown of starch and key metabolites, indicating inhibition of critical metabolic processes during early germination stages. …”

Effects of Pyrrhotite on the Combustion Behavior and the Kinetic Mechanism of Pyrite-Pyrrhotite Mixture Powders in the Air by Changshun Tian, Yunzhang Rao, Gang Su, Tao Huang

“…The calculated kinetic parameters and phase analysis results suggested that pyrite combustion is consistent with the shrinking core mechanism, and in the combustion process, the irregular pyrite particle shrank into a spherical particle; the combustion products of pyrrhotite grew in a layer-by-layer manner. Pyrrhotite combustion corresponded to the three-dimensional diffusion mechanism, and mixed mineral combustion was dominated by the shrinking core mechanism and supplemented by the three-dimensional diffusion mechanism. …”

Effect of TIPA on Chloride Immobilization in Cement-Fly Ash Paste by Baoguo Ma, Ting Zhang, Hongbo Tan, Xiaohai Liu, Junpeng Mei, Wenbin Jiang, Huahui Qi, Benqing Gu

“…The formation of Friedel’s salt in hydration process is widely accepted as an effective manner for this hindrance. In this study, an attempt to hasten the formation of Friedel’s salt by adding triisopropanolamine (TIPA) was done in the cement-fly ash system, with intention to chemical bind chloride, and the chloride-binding capacity at 60 d age was examined. …”

A novel knowledge distillation framework for enhancing small object detection in blurry environments with unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted images by Sayed Jobaer, Xue-song Tang, Yihong Zhang, Gaojian Li, Foysal Ahmed

“…Following this, we employ a technique known as self-supervised knowledge distillation, where we introduce a deblurring subnet module with the help of two attention modules, where both networks are trained in a fully-supervised manner. Based on the experiment results, our proposed model achieves an improvement of 4.3% accuracy in the VisDrone synthetic motion blur dataset and 4.6% in detecting objects within synthetic blurry images in our developed small object detection dataset (SOD-Dataset), as well as competitive results compared with other state-of-the-art methods. …”
