Each year, large quantities of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are used
worldwide. Once conveyed to wastewater treatment plants, PPCPs can remain unchanged …

Concentrations of methyl mercury, CH 3 Hg (II), total mercury, Hg tot = CH 3 Hg (II) + Hg (II),
and organic sulphur species were determined in soils, soil solutions and streams of a small (…

The binding of Hg 2+ in organic matter of soils and waters controls the transport and
transformations of Hg in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We developed a competitive …

The development of models for understanding antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) persistence
and transport is a critical next step toward informing mitigation strategies to prevent the …

Background GRAS transcription factors usually act as integrators of multiple growth
regulatory and environmental signals, including axillary shoot meristem formation, root radial …

We have investigated the binding environments of Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ complexed by soil humic
substances using synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy. With the assistance …

A classic problem in microbiology is that bacteria display two types of growth behavior when
cultured on a mixture of two carbon sources: the two sources are sequentially consumed …

Metabolic reprogramming greatly contributes to the regulation of macrophage activation.
However, the mechanism of lipid accumulation and the corresponding function in tumor-…

Water reclamation provides a valuable resource for meeting nonpotable water demands.
However, little is known about the potential for wastewater reuse to disseminate antibiotic …

Transition metal nitrides have been suggested to have both high hardness and good thermal
stability with large potential application value, but so far stable superhard transition metal …
