Based on a first-principles approach, we exploit a class of shaped graded materials in which
thermal energy is apparently controlled to transfer from a region of lower temperature to a …

A fast-cooling technology using a copper mould cooled by a phase-transition medium was
used to prepare cast aluminium-A356 alloy by solidification of the melt. The cooling rate …

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a kinetically harsh four-electron anode reaction that
requires a large overpotential to provide current and is of great importance in renewable …

We have performed systematic first-principles calculations on dicarbide, -nitride, -oxide, and
-boride of platinum and osmium with the fluorite structure. It is found that only Pt N 2 , Os N 2 …

Fewer and fewer municipal solid wastes are treated by composting in China because of the
disadvantages of enormous investment, long processing cycle and unstable products in a …

Understanding of how anaerobic digestion (AD)-related microbiomes are constructed by
operational parameters or their interactions within the biochemical process is limited. Using high…

Spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) originating from sewage sludge is highlighted
as an eminent health threat. This study established a thermophilic anaerobic digester using …

Continuous stirred-tank digesters with tetracyclines and sulfonamides were operated to
investigate the impacts of antibiotic pressure on sludge anaerobic digestion. The versatile …

The ionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be efficiently obtained by regulating the
valence state of the metal units. Herein, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) is introduced in the well-…

Actinomycetes degrade cellulose and solubilize lignin during composting. Changes in the
diversity of the actinomycetal communities and the 16S rDNA copy numbers of actinomycetes …
