Summary: The construction of BiVO4/CO32--Bi2O2CO3 composite photocatalysts by the hydrothermal method for the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin was studied. The best photocatalytic activity was observed when the molar ratio of BiVO4 to CO32--Bi2O2CO3 was 0.8 (0.8VCBOC). The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of levofloxacin was improved to 78% within 90 min under 300 W Xenon lamp (lambda >= 420 nm), which is 1.24 times that of CO32--Bi2O2CO3 (63%).

Summary: In this study, CuO/Cu2O/Cu ternary composites were successfully prepared using a simple calcination process. The addition of melamine affected the composition of the composites, with higher melamine content leading to decreased Cu and Cu2O content. Furthermore, the photocatalytic performance of the composites was found to be optimal when the melamine content in the raw material was 15%, with almost complete degradation of MB achieved under UV and visible light irradiation with the aid of H2O2.

Summary: Bi4O5I2/Bi2O2CO3 p-n heterojunction photocatalysts with different solvent ratios were synthesized using a one-pot solvothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized and evaluated for their photocatalytic degradation performance under visible light irradiation. The presence of an internal electrostatic field between the p-type semiconductor Bi4O5I2 and n-type semiconductor Bi2O2CO3 effectively suppressed the recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs.

Summary: The main factors affecting thermal comfort of convective terminals during the heating season have been extensively studied in recent years. This investigation aimed to analyze thermal comfort under typical settings and integrated control strategies. The study used a questionnaire, laboratory measurements, and artificial chamber simulations to examine the effects of draft, vertical temperature difference, and control strategies. The results showed that people were more tolerant of draft than vertical temperature differences and that perceived control significantly reduced discomfort. There were no significant differences between different control strategies, except for a long-term shutdown.

Summary: The performance of terahertz devices can be significantly improved by using optical regulation strategy with the aid of hybrid materials, such as gold nanobipyramids (AuNBPs). The introduction of AuNBPs can effectively enhance the modulation depth of terahertz modulators, and an ultrahigh modulation enhancement can be achieved in the AuNBPs hybrid metamaterials. The optical regulation with AuNBPs is attributed to increased damping rate and higher coupling coefficient.

Summary: In this study, the researchers evaluated the osteogenic differentiation of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) using an alendronate-loaded chitosan/polycaprolactone scaffold (CS/PCL@AL) in vitro. The results showed that the CS/PCL@AL scaffold enhanced osteogenic differentiation by upregulating bone morphogenetic protein 2, interleukin 10, and laminin expression, as well as activating the yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway. In vivo experiments in rats with calvarial defects also demonstrated that the CS/PCL@AL scaffold promoted new and mature bone formation. This study highlights the potential of CS/PCL@AL scaffolds as an efficient delivery system for bone defect repair.

Summary: This study focuses on the loess high-fill project of Lv Liang airport in China and investigates the deformation characteristics of the collapsible loess ultrahigh-fill slope through large-scale centrifugal tests. The results indicate that consolidation deformation is the main factor causing the slope's deformation, and water infiltration leads to settlement and deformation of the slope. The water content of the high-fill slope has a significant influence on the post-construction settlement and stability of the slope, emphasizing the importance of rational drainage system design for slope safety.

Summary: This research examines the impact of Buddhism on mergers & acquisitions (M&As) performance using data from 4622 M&A transactions of Chinese public firms between 2004 and 2018. The findings provide ample evidence that acquirers located in regions with a higher intensity of Buddhism achieve better short-term and long-term performance after the merger. Furthermore, the study reveals that state ownership plays a crucial role in mitigating this effect, and the value creation is driven by higher deal completion rates and fewer violation cases for acquiring firms. Finally, the study addresses the issue of endogeneity, and the results remain unchanged.
