Summary: The gasification behavior of coal and rice straw differs when gasified separately, but during co-gasification, the presence of rice straw particles promotes the shrinkage of coal particles due to their abundant alkaline components. The ash fusion mechanism of coal is characterized by a "softening-melting" process, while rice straw follows a typical "melting-dissolution" mechanism.

Summary: In the gasification of biomass, adding coal ash can increase the retention of potassium in the solid phase. The fixation capacity of coal ash for potassium can be predicted by TG test instead of digestion experiment. Potassium is mainly fixed by reacting with alumina/silica to form potassium aluminosilicates, enhancing the melting point. The addition of Ningxia coal ash or Wuming coal ash improves the melting temperatures of the mixture and avoids agglomeration during gasification.

Summary: The availability of traditional siliceous Class F fly ash is decreasing as countries switch to renewable energy sources. To extend the availability of siliceous fly ash, suppliers are distributing blended coal ashes and incorporating other coal combustion products (CCPs) or natural pozzolans. While the characteristics of these blended fly ashes may differ, they perform well in cement-based mixtures.

Summary: Molecular dynamics and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were used to study coal ashes, revealing structural and transport properties at high temperatures. The superheating of coal ash system with anorthite crystal structure initial configuration was observed, and the fluxing effects of calcium oxide and sodium oxide were systematically investigated through simulations. Viscosity calculations based on different methods showed a strong temperature dependence, but NEMD simulations failed to reproduce this feature possibly due to short simulation time.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the toxicity of a mixture of five pharmaceutical drugs using Fontinalis antipyretica as a bioindicator and bioaccumulator. Results showed that only carbamazepine and irbesartan were accumulated by the species, with bioaccumulation levels increasing with exposure time. Antioxidant enzymes were sensitive to the drug mixture, with higher activity observed in plants exposed to higher concentrations. Chlorophyll content decreased in exposed plants, but photosynthetic activity was restored after 5 months. Morphological characteristics were less impacted by the treatment.

Buccal Micronucleus Cytome (BMCyt) and telomere length (TL) measurements were used as biomarkers. The results showed higher levels of cell damage and death in subjects exposed to pesticides. Although no significant differences were found in TL, the effects of pesticide exposure on TL were observed in different age groups. Exposure to specific pesticides also had different effects on TL.

Summary: The genus Ctenomys is widely studied for karyotype evolution due to its variation in diploid numbers. Ctenomys minutus, with intraspecific variation in diploid numbers, was used to investigate the role of telomeres and DNA methylation in genome rearrangements. Results indicated that telomere length and methylation did not show significant differences among different cytotypes, but did in females, with young individuals having the highest methylation. Additionally, intrachromosomal telomeric repeats were found in chromosome 1 of certain cytotypes. The study suggested that while telomere length and methylation may not directly influence chromosomal rearrangements, new cytotypes may have emerged through various chromosomal rearrangements within the parental cytotypes.

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.

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.
