The oxygen vacancy and sulfur poisoning significantly affect the CO adsorption and oxidation processes on the copper ferrite surface, with static sulfur and dynamic sulfur showing different reaction mechanisms in CO oxidation.
The surface structure has a great influence on the chemistry property and performance of oxygen carrier used for chemical-looping combustion. Based on density functional theory and periodic structure model, the effect of oxygen vacancy and sulfur poisoning on the reaction of copper ferrite spinel with CO during chemical-looping combustion was systematically studied. The results show that Cu-O2 bridging site shows better activity towards CO adsorption on the O-defective and sulfur-poisoned copper ferrite surfaces. The adsorption energies of CO follow the order of Eads (perfect surface) > Eads (sulfur-poisoned surface) > Eads (O-defective surface). The energy barriers of CO oxidation over different surfaces are in the order of O-defective surface (Ea = 22.68 kJ/ mol) > sulfur-poisoned surface (Ea = 14.19 kJ/mol) > perfect surface (Ea = 4.85 kJ/mol). The oxygen vacancy and sulfur poisoning not only weaken the reactivity towards CO adsorption, but also have a disadvantageous impact on the CO oxidation process. For the sulfur-poisoned surface, the COS formation is kinetically unfavorable as compared to CO oxidation due to the higher energy barrier (27.13 kJ/mol).

UBE2T promotes glioblastoma malignancy through ubiquitination-mediated degradation of RPL6

Xuxiu Tao, Xia Wu, Peijun Zhou, Xuehui Yu, Chen Zhao, Xingzhi Peng, Kun Zhang, Liangfang Shen, Jinwu Peng, Lifang Yang

Summary: The study found that UBE2T promotes the malignant progression of GBM cells through ubiquitination-mediated degradation of RPL6, regardless of the mutation status of p53. Inhibiting the expression of RPL6 can decrease the expression of wild-type p53 and enhance the gain-of-function of mutant p53. Knockdown of UBE2T significantly suppresses tumor growth in mouse models of GBM.

The undrained behaviour of over-consolidated clay subjected to pure rotation of principal stress directions

Zhixuan Liang, Ying Liu, Zhiyong Liu

Summary: This study investigated the cyclic undrained torsional behavior of over consolidated clay under different deviatoric stresses and intermediate principal stress coefficients. The results showed that the rotation of principal stresses led to strain and excess pore water pressure accumulation in the samples. Over consolidated clay exhibited negative excess pore water pressure and stress dilatancy. The shear stiffness of over consolidated clay increased with loading cycles, while the normal differential stiffness degraded at low deviatoric stress values. Non-coaxial behavior was observed in over consolidated clay, and the non-coaxial angle was larger for higher OCR values and smaller deviatoric stresses.

Summary: The utilization of smart water in EOR operations has gained attention, but more research is needed to understand the complex mechanisms involved. This study investigated the interfacial tension between smart water and crude oil, considering factors such as salt, pH, asphaltene type, and aged smart water. The results revealed that the hydration of ions in smart water plays a key role in its efficacy, with acidic and basic asphaltene acting as intrinsic surfactants. The pH also influenced the interfacial tension, and the aged smart water's interaction with crude oil depended on asphaltene type, salt, and salinity.
