Summary: This paper proposes a new approach by assuming that the parameters in both the PFO and PSO models are random variables, and solves both models probabilistically by obtaining the probability density functions of the corresponding solution processes. The theoretical findings are then applied to model the adsorption of cadmium ions onto tree fern using real data, and the results of the randomized PFO and PSO models are compared, with the PSO model being selected.

Summary: The initial periods of adsorption kinetics are crucial for estimating the initial adsorption rate and rate constant. Applying the linear equations of the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model helps identify potential errors in the experimental data during the initial periods. After removing these error points, the experimental data can be well-fitted with the PSO model.

Summary: This study focuses on the removal of crystal violet (CV) dye from water using prepared nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NiF-NPs) with an average size of 28 nm. The CV dye is toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, and its persistence in the environment without degradation can greatly impact living organisms. The experimental data fits well with the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating multilayer coverage of NiF nanoparticles. The adsorption of CV dye is found to occur through physical-sorption process based on the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model.

Summary: Fly ash, as a by-product of the combustion of organic matter, is readily available and cheaply generated. Researchers have studied the use of fly ash as a support for photocatalysts in wastewater treatment due to its good adsorption capacities. Fly ash-based nanocomposites have shown excellent degradation efficiencies, with SiO2, TiO2, and Al2O3 present in fly ash playing a crucial role in the degradation of dyes. Factors affecting degradation, kinetic studies, and methods to enhance photodegradation efficiency have also been discussed.

Summary: This study used surface tension measurements to quantify the adsorption of air-entraining agents onto cement and fly ash. The results show that in carbon-contaminated ash in cement pore solution, fly ash particles dominate adsorption rather than the carbon itself. The research suggests that while carbon contributes to air loss through hydrophobic adsorption, its main interference is by shielding surfactant-coated fly ash particles from participating in air development and Pickering stabilization.

Summary: This paper proposes a backstepping model-free adaptive control algorithm for trajectory tracking control of second-order nonlinear systems. The algorithm combines model-free adaptive control with backstepping control and achieves asymptotic and stable convergence of system velocity error. The algorithm also possesses advantages such as simple structure, model independence, and strong robustness. Simulation results on a planar two-link space robot arm model verify the efficacy of the algorithm in achieving trajectory tracking control.

Summary: Excessive phosphate from aquaculture farming has detrimental environmental impacts, but adsorption using activated carbon with CaO2 nanoparticles (nCaO2-AC) shows promise for phosphate reduction. A continuous adsorption study using a fixed-bed column demonstrated that the adsorption capacity increased with bed height but decreased with flow rate. The interaction between adsorption sites and phosphate ions was confirmed, and nCaO2-AC exhibited potential for phosphate removal and reuse from aquaculture water.

Summary: Groundwater in eastern Thailand is contaminated with phenol and Zn2+, requiring research on the adsorption behavior of these co-contaminants for remediation design. The flood plain aquifer was found to be a dispersive aluminosilicate mineral with a SiO2 composition of 58.24%. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, and the equilibrium data were well described by Freundlich equations. The maximum adsorption capacities for phenol and Zn2+ were 24.8 mg g(-1) and 18.7 mg g(-1) at 25 degrees C, respectively.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
