Summary: During the chemical hydrolysis of rice straw, several inhibitors such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and phenolics are generated, which are toxic to yeast cells and can negatively impact yeast growth, metabolism, and ethanol production efficiency. Optimization of process variables can help reduce inhibitor generation and improve the efficiency of ethanol fermentation. This study aimed to develop an optimized process for minimizing inhibitor release during rice straw hydrolysis.

Summary: As deep learning techniques are applied to real-world recommendation tasks, many deep neural network based Collaborative Filtering (CF) models have been developed. However, most existing models are not well equipped to handle missing data. In this paper, we propose a Collaborative Reflection-Augmented Autoencoder Network (CRANet) that can leverage both observed and unobserved user-item interactions to improve recommendation performance. We also introduce a robust joint training algorithm using regularization-based tied-weights. Experimental results show that debiasing negative signals improves the performance compared to state-of-the-art techniques.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
