Evidence of fluid evolution of Baoshan Cu−Pb−Zn polymetallic deposit: Constraints from in-situ sulfur isotope and trace element compositions of pyrite

In-situ LA-ICP-MS and S isotopes of pyrite from the Baoshan Cu polymetallic deposit were conducted to investigate the ore-forming process and the enrichment mechanism of elements. Three generations of pyrite (Py I, Py II, and Py III) in the skarn-type ores and pyrite in the carbonate-hosted sulfide ores from central, western, and northern (C_Py, W_Py, and N_Py) mining districts are selected for comparison. Compared with Py I and Py III, the contents of most elements in Py II are apparently higher. The As and Se contents are high within a wide range and are decoupled in the growth band of the C_Py. The highest As, Se, and Pb contents were found in W_Py and N_Py. These results indicate the drastic changes in the temperature and fluid mixing during the mineralization. The occurrence of fluctuation and change in temperature and f(O₂) was triggered by intermittent pulses of magmatic-hydrothermal fluids, mixing with meteoric water, and water−rock interactions. The sulfur isotopes of all species of pyrite indicated the magmatic source. The change in the f(O₂) conditions caused slight differences in the sulfur isotope compositions. Consequently, a metallogenic model was proposed to explain the ore-forming processes.     

Ni1−xCoxSe2?C/ZnIn2S4 Hybrid Nanocages with Strong 2D/2D Hetero-Interface Interaction Enable Efficient H2-Releasing Photocatalysis

Designing a semiconductor-based heterostructure photocatalyst for achieving the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs is highly important for enhancing H₂ releasing photocatalysis. Here, a new class of Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂–C/ZnIn₂S₄ hierarchical nanocages with abundant and compact ZnIn₂S₄ nanosheets/Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂^ C nanosheets 2D/2D hetero–interfaces, is designed and synthesized. The constructed heterostructure photocatalyst exposes rich hetero-junctions, supplying the broad and short transfer paths for charge carriers. The close contacts of these two kinds of nanosheets induce a strong interaction between ZnIn₂S₄ and Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂ C, improving the separation and transfer of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. As a consequence, the distinctive Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂ C/ZnIn₂S₄ hierarchical nanocages without using additional noble-metal cocatalysts, display remarkable H₂-relaesing photocatalytic activity with a rate of 5.10 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ under visible light irradiation, which is 6.2 and 30 times higher than those of fresh ZnIn₂S₄ nanosheets and bare Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂ C nanocages, respectively. Spectroscopic characterizations and theory calculations reveal that the strong interaction between ZnIn₂S₄ and Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂ C 2D/2D hetero-interfaces can powerfully promote the separation of photo-generated charge carriers and the electrons transfer from ZnIn₂S₄ to Ni_1−xCo_xSe₂ C.     

Regenerable Sorbents for High-Temperature Desulfurization of Syngas from Biomass Gasification

Single-metal high-temperature solid sorbents for syngas cleaning using Mn, Ca, Fe, Cu, or Mo supported on γ-Al₂O₃ were synthesized, characterized, and tested in a fixed-bed reactor. H₂S and SO₂ concentrations in the gas after treatment at T = 400 to 700 °C were compared with thermodynamic calculations. The Mn-based sorbent showed the best ability to achieve a low sulfur residual in the gas, especially at temperatures above 600 °C. Sorbents with Fe, Cu, and Mo gave SO₂ formation in the initial phase, but this could be avoided by a pre-reduction treatment of the sorbent material.

Adaptive response and tolerance to weak acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii: a metabolomics approach

Weak acids inhibit the growth of probiotics, such as Saccharomyces boulardii. We explored the tolerance of S. boulardii to different weak acids. S. boulardii had better fermentation ability under lactic acid conditions compared with acetic and butyric acid conditions; however, the budding of S. boulardii was significantly stronger than that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae under acetic acid conditions. Although the surface structure of S. boulardii was destroyed, it produced more daughter cells. S. boulardii metabolites were also significantly different from S. cerevisiae under acidic stress. The growth of S. boulardii under weak acid conditions differed significantly from that of S. cerevisiae. S. boulardii-mediated fingerprints under weak acid conditions were identified as latent biomarkers, related to fructose and mannose metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the glycolysis pathway. Identified biomarkers will aid in the genetic engineering of S. boulardii and other Saccharomyces strains for improved acid resistance and biomass yield.     

Effects of high-pressure-modified soy 11S globulin on the gel properties and water-holding capacity of pork batter

The effects of high-pressure-modified soy 11S globulin (0.1, 200, and 400 MPa) on the gel properties, water-holding capacity, and water mobility of pork batter were investigated. The high-pressure-modified soy 11S globulin significantly increased (P < 0.05) the emulsion stability, cooking yield, hardness, springiness, chewiness, resilience, cohesiveness, the a^* and b^* values, and the G′ and G′′ values of pork batter at 80 °C, compared with those of 0.1 MPa-modified globulin. In contrast, the centrifugal loss and initial relaxation time of T_2b, T₂₁, and T₂₂ significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the microstructure was denser, and the voids were smaller and more uniform compared with those of 0.1 MPa-modified globulin. In addition, the sample with 11S globulin modified at 400 MPa had the best water-holding capacity, gel structure, and gel properties among the samples. Overall, the use of high-pressure-modified soy 11S globulin improved the gel properties and water-holding capacity of pork batter, especially under 400 MPa.

Effect of S on H-induced grain-boundary embrittlement in γ-Fe by first-principles calculations

The effect of interstitial impurities (H and S) on the atomic, electronic structure, and mechanical properties of the γ-Fe Σ5 (021) grain boundary (GB) was investigated via first-principles calculations. H atoms act as an intergranular embrittler in the Σ5 GB due to a reduction in the charge density between the Fe atoms connected to the grains, whereas H and S co-segregation produces more pronounced embrittlement behavior, resulting in intergranular fracture. The S-induced embrittlement plays a crucial role in the H and S segregation, due to a combination of the structural and chemical effects. The fracturing of Σ5 GB due to S and H segregation is a two-step process. The first step is the breaking of Fe–Fe bonds in the GB, followed by the breaking of the remaining Fe–S bonds in the second step, resulting in the complete separation of the two grains. Moreover, the S atom can slightly compensate for the embrittlement induced by H, because some of the Fe atoms that obtain electrons from the S atoms can provide more electrons to the H atoms, and thus, they can compensate for the electrons that must be acquired from other Fe atoms. We call this “the electrons compensating effect” and this effect is helpful in the design and alloying of steels that are resistant to H embrittlement.     

基于拼接缝自适应消除和全景图矫直的快速图像拼接算法

针对图像拼接存在色差过渡不均匀、图像倾斜扭曲及拼接效率低的现象，提出一种基于拼接缝自适应消除和全景图矫直的快速图像拼接算法。首先，用尺度不变特征变换（SIFT）提取图像指定区域特征点并用双向K近邻（KNN）算法进行图像配准，有效提高算法效率；其次，利用动态规划思想提出自适应公式找到最优拼接缝并用图像融合算法对其自适应消除，解决拼接缝色差过渡不均匀问题；最后，针对累积拼接误差形成全景图倾斜的现象，利用边缘检测算法提出自适应拟合四边形矫直模型，把原始全景图矫直为一个全新的全景图。所提算法与分块图像拼接和二叉树图像拼接算法相比，图像质量提升了5.84%~7.83%，拼接时间仅为原来的50%~70%。实验结果表明，该算法不仅通过自适应更新机制减少不同图像背景下拼接缝色差过渡不均匀的现象，从而提高了图像质量；而且提高了拼接效率，降低了全景图倾斜扭曲程度。
