Kinetics of silicon extraction into alloy from a mixture of amorphous rocks by V.M. Shevko, N.M. Mirkayev, A.D. Badikova

“…It was established that when the melting the amorphous rocks, with an increase in the degree of silicon extraction into the alloy, the apparent activation energy decreases, that is a manifestation of diffusion processes, obviously associated with the formation of a silicon carbide layer on the coke surface. The rate of silicon extraction into the alloy when the melting the amorphous rocks is higher than when the melting quartzite. …”

Breaking barriers: targeted delivery of resveratrol in lung cancer using folate-integrated and pH-responsive hybrid nanocarriers by Sanjoy Das, Malay K. Das, Taison Jamatia, Nayan Ranjan Ghose Bishwas, Dhritiman Roy, Emdormi Rymbai

“…Finally, in vivo targeting and anticancer studies demonstrated that FOL-RSV-LPHNCs selectively internalized to the cancerous region and suppressed the tumor volume with an 8.66-fold higher rate in the xenograft mouse model. The folate receptor-mediated uptake mainly facilitates this superior therapeutic response which was further confirmed by in silico molecular docking and dynamic simulation. …”

Physiological insights into the responses of tea plants to aluminum through an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis by Xinwan Zhang, Shijie Luo, Xiali Ye, Lin Liu, Xinxin Jia, Deyuan Jiang, Weiwei Wen

“…Compared to 0 mM Al treatment, low Al concentrations (0.4 mM) enhanced root vitality by 8.91%, while higher Al concentrations (10 and 100 mM) reduced root vigor by 19.31% and 76.81%, respectively. In a similar pattern, the electron transfer rate in leaves remained stable under low Al levels but significantly decreased under high Al conditions. …”

Evaluation and optimization simulation of land suitability for village construction in the urban rural integration zone empirical test based on 49 administrative villages in Chuzho... by Shuping Fan, Yuntao Zhu, Huimin Guo, Qi Wang, Yishi Mi, Xin Gao, Yangbing Liu, Zihao Su

“…The results show that: (1) the village collective income and land use intensity have a great impact on the potential of village construction land, the proportion of permanent basic farmland, the distance from the organized town and the population loss rate have a great impact on the binding force of village construction land; (2) The proportion of suitable, unsuitable and suitable areas of village construction land is 38.63%, 27.56% and 15.60% respectively, the overall distribution pattern of suitability is “high in the east and southwest, South-Northeast Low”; (3) The eastern high-suitable area adopts the rural urbanization mode and optimizes the layout in a “group” style, The central low suitable area adopts the mode of “teng village and land reduction” and continuously improves the level of intensive land use, In the southwest, it is suitable for villages to form a “central village” layout mode based on location and economic development. …”
