Afterward, a variety of important fermentation conditions were explored using CG-2 as a substrate in shaken flasks. Under the optimal conditions (including induced cell density 1.0, initial cell density 0.25, temperature after induction 33 °C, initial medium pH 6.5), the yield of β-farnesene from CG-2 reached 10.31 g/L in a 5-L bioreactor, which was 2.8-fold higher than initial conditions in shake flasks and was the highest yield of β-farnesene produced from biodiesel by-products by fermentation as well. The recommended fermentation conditions in this work will provide a valuable reference for the industrial production of β-farnesene utilizing biodiesel by-products.In this study, it was found that the CeVO4-CeO2 nanocomposite possessed remarkably selective catalytic reduction (SCR) performance and wider active temperature scope. And, the promotion principle was explored based on BET, XRD, XPS, H2-temperature-programmed reduction, NH3-temperature-programmed desorption, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) techniques. The characterization outcomes manifested that the CeVO4-CeO2 nanocomposite could inhibit its crystallinity and enhance the concentrations of chemisorbed oxygen species and Ce3+, which was advantageous to the SCR process. Moreover, the in situ DRIFT technique manifested that the NH3-SCR reaction over Ce0.75V0.25Oy was enhanced effectively through the mechanism of L-H.Radiation-induced degradation of chlorobenzene was conducted at 0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 mmol/dm3 concentrations in aerated environment and at 1.0 mmol/dm3 in oxygen-free and N2O-saturated solutions. The results demonstrated that the elimination of chloride is important when the solution is oxygen free, because the [Formula see text] attacks at the ipso position of the chloro group produces hydrochloric acid. The degradation was affected to a large extent by the concentration and to a lesser extent by the presence or absence of oxygen in the solutions which were irradiated. Thereby, the degradation occurred faster in the solutions with air and without oxygen and more slowly in the saturated solution with N2O. Some by-products were identified using an HPLC-UV-mass system. In addition, it was found that there is a linear correlation between the ln C/C0 and the dose, indicating that the radiolytic degradation followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The radiolytic oxidation was followed by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) test. The COD decreases when the solute concentration increases. The COD results were for a 0.47 mmol/dm3 of 5.94 mg O2 dm-3 kGy-1 and for 0.09 mmol/dm3 of 7.45 mg O2 dm-3 kGy-1.Little information is available on thallium (Tl) adsorption onto fruit-derived biochar. In this study, pomelo peel and waste pomelo were thus chosen to prepare two kinds of biochars recorded as PPB and WPB. The two produced biochars subsequently evaluated their potential remediation of thallium (Tl) contamination in agricultural soils by their Tl adsorption capacity. Results showed that the two pomelo-derived biochars presented obvious microporous structure and rich oxygen-containing functional group, supported by the observant data of specific surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). see more Furthermore, Langmuir isothermal adsorption model can better fit the adsorption behavior of thallium onto PPB and WPB, and the subsequent maximum adsorption capacity was 4283.9 μg g-1 and 5286.0 μg g-1, respectively. In addition, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model could well fit the kinetic behavior of thallium adsorption onto PPB and WPB, indicating that the process is accompanied by chemical adsorption. Meanwhile, in agricultural soils, PPB and WPB can be used as environmentally friendly adsorbents to remediate Tl contamination due to their pH increase of the tested soils and their comparable adsorption ability of Tl. The obtained findings can provide insights into comprehensively developed fruit-derived biochar technology to remediate Tl contamination in agricultural soils.PURPOSE To systematically review the impact of smoking habits on cardiovascular (CV) as well as on male sexual and reproductive function and to provide updated evidence on the role of electronic cigarettes (e-Cig) on the same topics. METHODS A comprehensive Medline, Embase, and Cochrane search was performed including the following words smoking, CV system, CV risk, erectile dysfunction (ED), and male fertility. Publications from January 1, 1969 up to February 29, 2020 were included. RESULTS Smoking has a tremendous negative impact on CV mortality and morbidity. Current smoking behavior is also negatively associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) and impaired sperm parameters. E-Cig can release significantly lower concentrations of harmful substances when compared to regular combustible cigarettes. Whether or not the latter can result in positive CV, sexual, and fertility outcomes is still under study. Preliminary studies showed that exposure to e-Cig leads to lower vascular damage when compared to the traditional cigarette use. However, data on the long-term effects of e-Cig are lacking. Similarly, preliminary data, obtained in animal models, have suggested a milder effect of e-Cig on erectile function and sperm parameters. CONCLUSION Available evidence showed that e-Cig are much less dangerous when compared to the traditional tobacco use. However, it should be recognized that the risk related to e-Cig is still higher when compared to that observed in non-smoking patients. Hence, e-Cig should be considered as a potential tool, in the logic of harm reduction, to reduce the CV, sexual and fertility risk in patients refractory to the fundamental, healthy choice to definitively quit smoking.AIMS To validate the Child-Oral Impact on Daily Performance (Child-OIDP) in the Hungarian language and to explore the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and associated factors among Hungarian children with cleft lip or/and palate (CLP). METHODS This cross-sectional study consists of a survey and clinical examination among conveniently selected children with CLP visiting the Pécs cleft lip and palate clinic, Pécs, Hungary. OHRQoL was assessed using the Hungarian version of Child-OIDP. Additionally, a validated structural questionnaire was used for gathering information related to oral hygiene practice. Clinical examination was done to register the dental status using ICDAS criteria, consequences of untreated dental caries (pufa), and bleeding on probing. Results were presented as proportions, means, and standard deviations (SD). Construct validity and internal reliability of the Hungarian Child-OIDP was assessed using the Pearson and Spearman's correlation coefficients, respectively. The logistic regression model examined the association between OHRQoL and explanatory variables.
