Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Plant Intake in Laying Hens: n-Alkanes as Predictive Fecal Markers for Dietary Composition Assessment

Animals
The shift in animal welfare standards towards free-range housing for laying hens in the EU has raised questions about changes in dietary composition. Accurate assessment of outdoor plant material intake is crucial for effective feeding strategies.

A Novel Modified Petroresin Particle (MPRP) With Enhanced Oil–Water Selectivity for Cold Production in Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel oil–water selective conformance control agent, MPRP, is prepared via hydrophilic grafting and mechanical granulation. MPRP uniformly disperses in water, cohesively expands upon aging, and readily dissolves in the oil phase. During conformance control, it selectively aggregates in water channeling pathways to form effective plugs without ...

SNF1 plays a crucial role in the utilization of n-alkane and transcriptional regulation of the genes involved in it in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Heliyon
Yarrowia lipolytica is an ascomycetous yeast that can assimilate hydrophobic carbon sources including oil and n-alkane. The sucrose non-fermenting 1/AMP-activated protein kinase (Snf1/AMPK) complex is involved in the assimilation of non-fermentable ...

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Ecosystem-scale genomic and metatranscriptomic evidence for a coupled, active short-term hydrocarbon cycle in the marine photic ocean

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Natural hydrocarbon seeps and human activities are the primary pathways by which oil enters the sea. Marine Cyanobacteria, among the most abundant photosynthetic organisms in the world, continuously produce alkanes, an additional substantial hydrocarbon ...

Confinement‐Engineered Thermally Programmed Ion‐Gating Separator for Decoupling Thermal–Electrochemical Feedback in High‐Energy Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new phase‐change material encapsulated membrane offers more thermal resilience stability and safety than the conventional separators for batteries. ABSTRACT Thermal runaway in lithium‐ion batteries arises from the intrinsic coupling between heat generation and ion transport, yet conventional shutdown separators primarily rely on passive pore collapse

Mechanical characteristics of interaction between rock and multi-component hydrocarbon in shale oil

Youqi dizhi yu caishoulu
Interfacial effects and intermolecular forces dominate in shale nanopores， and the classical theory of continuum medium mechanics has limitations or even failures， thus becoming a key issue limiting the development of shale oil and gas storage and flow ...
