An in-depth study on the characteristics of coke in the hearths of blast furnaces is of great significance for explaining the mechanism of coke deterioration in blast furnaces. In the present work, the changes in macromorphology, degree of graphitization, and microstructure of the coke taken from different hearth locations of a 5,800 m3 superlarge…[Read more]

Our results demonstrate that FUNDC1-dependent mitophagy is directly coupled with mitochondrial biogenesis through the PGC-1α/NRF1 pathway, which dictates mitochondrial quantity, quality, and turnover and contributes to adaptive thermogenesis.We report the application of a highly versatile and engineerable novel sensor platform to monitor…[Read more]

The WPU/PSS/TCB ink could be inkjet printed into various black patterns, which showed a higher blackness (jetness value = 342.83) than commercial black inks. Moreover, the printed patterns were water-proof and had a pencil scratch hardness of 4H. In summary, this study provides a guideline to convert waste carbon materials into useful printing…[Read more]

Identifying of variations of renal vascular anatomy is important for radical surgery, endovascular intervention, and renal transplantation. While there are common normal variations of renal vascular anatomy, such as accessory renal arteries, a main renal artery that originates from the thoracic aorta (thoracic renal artery) is remarkably rare. The…[Read more]
