Summary: An environmentally friendly hydrogel adsorbent (DEC@GEL) was successfully prepared by a simple free-radical polymerization method, exhibiting abundant functional groups and porous structures. Batch and multisystem adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate the adsorption properties of various dyes in wastewater, revealing consistent kinetics and isotherms with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities of the four tested dyes were higher than many reported adsorbents. Moreover, DEC@GEL demonstrated high reusability, selectivity, and potential for practical industrial applications.

Summary: Amphoteric cellulose porous microsphere adsorbents (ACM) with high contents of functional groups were prepared by carboxylation and amination reactions. The obtained ACM possess similar contents of carboxyl groups (1.52 mmol/g) and amino groups (1.51 mmol/g). In addition, the modified microspheres exhibited excellent mechanical properties benefiting from the dense porous structures. The ACM could simultaneously remove the cationic dye methyl orange (MO) as well as the anionic dye methylene blue (MeB) with adsorption capacities as high as 345.32 mg/g and 616.12 mg/g, respectively. Another the microspheres are also with good regeneration that the adsorption capacities still maintained more than 90 % after 8 cycles.

Summary: A new nanocomposite, A-CNF/DT, was successfully synthesized and used for the removal of methylene blue and indigo carmine dyes from water. Langmuir and Sips isotherm models well fitted the adsorption isotherm data of methylene blue and indigo carmine onto A-CNT/DT, respectively. The experimental kinetic data showed good agreement with pseudo-first order model (for the adsorption of methylene blue) and pseudo-second order model (for the adsorption of indigo carmine) onto A-CNT/DT. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of methylene blue was endothermic, while the adsorption of indigo carmine was exothermic. Monte-Carlo calculation method revealed both polar and nonpolar interactions between the dye molecules and the A-CNT/DT surface. Overall, the synthesized A-CNT/DT proved to be an efficient adsorbent for the removal of dyes from aqueous solutions.

Summary: Adsorption technology is a promising method for removing pollutants in fluids, and Ti-MOFs are widely used as efficient adsorbents. However, the use of Ti-MOFs with different morphologies for dye removal has not been reported. In this study, three kinds of Ti-MOFs with different morphologies were prepared and tested for adsorbing different dyes. It was found that the truncated octahedron Ti-MOFs showed the best removal efficiency for the cationic dye methylene blue. The adsorption process was exothermic and followed a pseudo-second-order/Freundlich isotherm model. The results also showed that the adsorption performance was dependent on the facet orientation, with truncated octahedron Ti-MOFs exhibiting the highest adsorption capacity among the three morphologies. This research provides a highly efficient adsorbent for industrial dye wastewater remediation.

Summary: This study examined the moderating effect of self-construal on the association between mindfulness and forgiveness. Results showed that participants with high level of mindfulness in the interdependent self-construal condition reported greater forgiveness and gave more money donations towards transgressors compared to those in the independent self-construal condition. There was no significant difference between interdependent and independent self-construal groups among participants with low level of mindfulness. These findings suggest that self-construal plays a role in moderating the relationship between mindfulness and interpersonal forgiveness.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
