Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Monocarboxyoctyl phthalate is associated with platelet count: evidence from a large cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionPhthalates are environmental pollutants that are harmful to human health. However, the impact of phthalate on platelet count remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the correlation between five phthalate metabolites in urine and platelet

Maternal levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the first trimester of pregnancy are associated with infant cord blood DNA methylation

Epigenetics, 2018
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose a public health risk through disruption of normal biological processes. Identifying toxicoepigenetic mechanisms of developmental exposure-induced effects for EDCs, such as phthalates or bisphenol A (BPA), is ...

Bis(isobutylammonium) phthalate monohydrate [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section E Structure Reports Online, 2008
N-Isobutyl-phthalimic acid hydrolyzes to the title salt, 2C(4)H(12)N(+)·C(8)H(4)O(4) (-)·H(2)O, which adopts a hydrogen-bonded layer structure. In the anion, the carboxyl-ate groups are twisted with respect to the benzene ring [dihedral angles = 43.8 (1) and 50.9 (1)°].

High‐Efficiency CO2 Electrolysis Enabled by Interface‐Engineered Composite Electrolytes in Ni‐Based SOEC

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study addresses the critical issue of delamination between YSZ and GDC electrolytes in SOECs, which is caused by Thermal deformation disparity. A novel YSZ‐GDC composite interlayer, fabricated using a simple dip‐coating method, is introduced to solve this problem. This layer effectively suppresses delamination by mitigating thermal stress.

Methylation‐Induced Permanent Charge Polarization in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Visible Light‐Driven Water Decontamination and Disinfection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A targeted in situ methylation strategy is developed to engineer cationic centers in a quinoline‐linked COF (NQ‐COFS1‐Me), creating a strong built‐in electric field, which effectively suppresses excitonic effects and promotes charge separation. The optimized material demonstrates powerful photocatalytic ROS generation for rapid bacterial inactivation ...
