Monitoring N : P Ratio and Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn Contents in Different Types of Anaerobic Digestates: A Six-Year Study Case by Christina-Luise Roß, Kerstin Nielsen, Jorita Krieger, Marieke Hoffmann, Karen Sensel-Gunke, Frank Ellmer, Timo Kautz

“…Copper content of Cattle slurry before digestion was 897.7 mg kg−1 DM in one case, and zinc content of DG Pig reached 590.2 mg kg−1 DM also once during the investigation. As a result, we strongly recommend to monitor especially phosphorus, copper, and zinc contents in digestates very closely and in short intervals.…”

lncRNA IGHCγ1 Acts as a ceRNA to Regulate Macrophage Inflammation via the miR-6891-3p/TLR4 Axis in Osteoarthritis by Pengjun Zhang, Jianmei Sun, Caihong Liang, Bingjie Gu, Yang Xu, Hongying Lu, Bo Cao, Hao Xu

“…Luciferase reporter assay was adopted to validate the ceRNA role of IGHCγ1 as miRNA sponge. lncRNA IGHCγ1 was primarily localized in macrophage cytoplasm and upregulated in OA. miR-6891-3p inhibited macrophage proliferation, migration, and inflammatory response by targeting TLR4, while lncRNA IGHCγ1 promoted TLR4 expression by functioning as a ceRNA for miR-6891-3p through the NF-κB signal in macrophages. This study strongly supports that lncRNA IGHCγ1 regulates inflammatory response via regulating the miR-6891-3p/TLR4/NF-κB axis in macrophages.…”

Characteristics and circulation of archipelagic waters with the three-dimensional hydrodynamic model approach by Suhaemi ., D.G. Bengen, C.P.H. Simanjuntak, A.F. Koropitan

“…Intensification of tidal currents occurs along the shallow part in northeastern and part of the channel between Misool Islands and the mainland of Papua.CONCLUSION: The interaction of barotropic tides, geomorphology, and coral reef triggers the unstratified water mass. Strong currents and turbulence on the northeast side produce homogeneous waters. …”

Preparation and Properties of OMMT/PU Composites by Chen Yufei, Han Yang, Dai Qiwang, Zhang Xiwang, Qingyu Zhang

“…SEM and AFM indicated that the OMMT dispersed evenly in the PU matrix and had a good transition with PU matrix, and the interface effects between two phases were strong. The results of the mechanical properties showed that OMMT could significantly help to improve properties of OMMT/PU adhesive, and the shearing strength, fracture tensile strength, and peel strength of 4 wt% OMMT/PU adhesive were 7.24 MPa, 2.14 MPa, and 451.2 N/m, respectively; the water absorption quantity was 2.82%. …”
