Summary: Biofilms are complex structures with intricate relationships between microorganisms, matrix, and environment. There is growing interest in biofilms due to their presence in diverse fields. Molecular techniques have been used to study biofilms but disrupt the spatial structure. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a widely used method to analyze the spatial distribution, and different FISH variants have been explored. These variants, combined with confocal microscopy, provide a powerful approach to visualize, quantify, and locate biofilm components. Future research directions focus on developing robust and accurate FISH-based methods for deeper understanding of biofilm structure and function.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of cell size and ploidy on FISH results. The results show that in liver cell nuclei, the number of FISH signals increases with nuclear size and section thickness. In non-small cell lung cancer cases, tumor cells with higher ploidy levels and nuclear size have an increased chance of single signals. In addition, no rearrangements were found in lung cancer samples with borderline ALK FISH results, proving a false positive result.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
