Western blot analysis indicated that GLUT1 was not detected in cell lines treated with 10 μM 8 under light irradiation. Furthermore, 8 reduced the levels of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR), phospho-ERK (Y204), and GLUT1 without affecting ERK, α-tubulin, and PCNA protein levels, whereas talaporfin sodium, a clinically approved photosensitizer for PDT, nonspecifically reduced intracellular protein levels in HeLa cells, indicating that 8 has a GLUT1-specific inactivation ability and causes light-induced cytotoxicity by modulating the EGFR/MAPK signaling pathway.Bottled natural mineral water (BMW) consumption in Turkey is increasing every year. Depending on the local geology from which the water is extracted, BMW could be enhanced with natural radionuclides. In this study, the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in 58 BMW samples of 25 different brands marketed in Turkey were measured using a γ-ray spectrometer with high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K in BMW samples were found as 0.4, 0.5, and 4.3 Bq/L, respectively. The activity concentrations of 228Ra exceeded the WHO-recommended maximum permissible limit of 0.1 Bq/L for drinking water. The annual effective dose (AED) and excess lifetime cancer risk (LCR) caused by the ingestion of each BMW sample were estimated for adults to assess radiological risks using two different scenarios based on BMW consumption rates (150 and 13 L/y). All estimated total AEDs, except for two samples, were below the guidance dose level of 100 μSv/y recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Turkish regulations for drinking water. For all BMW brands, 228Ra was found as the main contributor to the AEDs. The LCR values were lower than the acceptable value of 10-3 for radiological risks.Carbon-based materials are well established as low-cost, easily synthesizable, and low regeneration energy adsorbents against harmful greenhouse gases such as CO2. However, the development of such materials with exceptional CO2 uptake capacity needs well-described research, wherein various factors influencing CO2 adsorption need to be investigated. Therefore, five cost-effective carbon-based materials that have similar textural properties, functional groups, and porous characteristics were selected. Among these materials, biordered ultramicroporous graphitic carbon had shown an excellent CO2 capture capacity of 7.81 mmol/g at 273 K /1 bar with an excellent CO2 vs N2 selectivity of 15 owing to its ultramicroporous nature and unique biordered graphitic morphology. On the other hand, reduced graphene revealed a remarkable CO2 vs N2 selectivity of 57 with a CO2 uptake of 2.36 mmol/g at 273 K/1 bar. In order to understand the high CO2 capture capacity, important properties derived from adsorption/desorption, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were correlated with CO2 adsorption. This study revealed that an increase in ultramicropore volume and sp2 carbon (graphitic) content of nanomaterials could enhance CO2 capture significantly. FTIR studies revealed the importance of oxygen functionalities in improving CO2 vs N2 selectivity in reduced graphene due to higher quadruple-dipole interactions between CO2 and oxygen functionalization of the material. Apart from high CO2 adsorption capacity, biordered ultramicroporous graphitic carbon also offered low regeneration energy and excellent pressure swing regeneration ability for five consecutive cycles.The objective of the present work was to optimize the operating conditions (P, T cosolvent %) and to study the scale-up and the feasibility of the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process for polyphenols from grape pomace, the main solid byproduct of the wine industry. KN-62 Pilot-scale equipment (1 L extraction vessel) was used to study the scale-up prediction for extraction vessels of 50, 100, 500, and 1000 L capacity. The adopted scale-up criteria consisted of maintaining and keeping constant the solvent mass-to-feed mass ratio and the bed geometry dimension. The results indicated an excellent predictive level obtained by Sovová's model and success of the adopted scale-up criteria. At industrial scale, yields were close to 2.3 gGAE/100 gDM, a value obtained using the pilot-scale equipment. High concentrations of high-added-value phenols such as cis-resveratrol glucoside, cis-coutaric acid, trans-p-coumaric acid, quercetin, and proanthocyanidins were found in the extract. An economic evaluation of the process indicated the feasibility of an industrial SFE plant with a capacity of 500 L for producing in 60 min an extract with an expected phenolics' concentration of approximately 133 gGAE/kg extract at an estimated 67€ /kgextract cost of manufacturing. Notably, all values are better than those currently reported in the literature.The efficient flotation separation of low-rank coal is still a difficult problem. The development of a collector is the key to solve the problem. In this study, a kind of mixed collector scheme with a practical value is proposed. The effects of the single collector dodecane (D) and methyl oleate (MO) and mixed collector D-didodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB) and MO-DDAB on flotation separation of low-rank coal were investigated. The flotation test results show that when the molar ratios of the mixed collector D-DDAB and MO-DDAB are 91 and the flotation time is 4 min, the cumulative combustible recovery of low-rank coal flotation is 71.49 and 76.73%, respectively, and the cleaned coal ash is 15.26 and 13.03%, respectively. The mixed collector significantly improves the flotation effect of low-rank coal compared with the single collector. According to the analysis results of the contact angle, wetting heat, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the hydrophobicity of the low-rank coal surface is enhanced under the action of the mixed collector, and the adsorption between the mixed collector and coal surface is stronger. In addition, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results show that compared with D or MO, DDAB tends to adsorb on the surface of low-rank coal, and the diffusion coefficients of water molecules on the surface of coal increase. The mixed collector first repels water molecules through its double hydrophobic carbon chain to weaken the binding of the coal surface to water molecules and then uses D or MO to further repel water molecules, thus effectively enhancing the surface hydrophobicity of low-rank coal.Human urate transporter 1 (hURAT1) is the most pivotal therapeutic target for hyperuricemia. Due to a lack of crystal structure information, the atomic structure of URAT1 is not clearly understood. In this study, a multiple sequence alignment was performed, and K393, a positively charged residue in transmembrane domain (TMD) 8, was observed to be highly conserved in organic anion transporters (OATs). K393 was substituted with a positively, negatively, and neutrally charged amino acid via site-directed mutagenesis and then used to transfect HEK293 cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analyses indicated that mutants of K393 showed mRNA and protein expression levels similar to those in the WT group. The nonpositively charged mutants K393A, K393D, and K393E eliminated 70-80% of 14C-uric acid transport capacity, while the K393H mutant showed slight and the K393R mutant showed no reduced transport capacity compared with the WT grdata provide evidence that K393 is an important residue for the recognition of uric acid or inhibitors by URAT1.This paper describes the crystal interphase impact of ZnFe2O4-Ag in the photodegradation of Rhodamine B. Prepared ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited with Ag NPs to offer ZnFe2O4-Ag (0-2.5%). An X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to the Ag NPs was detected if the particle content reached about 2.0%, observing multiple crystalline interphases in HR-TEM. Magnetic saturation (Ms) was increased ∼160% times for ZnFe2O4-Ag (7.25 to 18.71 emu/g) and ZnFe2O4 (9.62 to 25.09 emu/g) if the temperature is lowered from 298 to 5.0 K; while for Fe3O4 (91.09 to 96.19 emu/g), the Ms increment was just about 5.6%. After analyzing the DFT-Density of State, a decrease of bandgap energy for ZnFe2O4-Ag6 from the influence of the size of Ag cluster was seen. Quantum yield (Φ) was 0.60 for ZnFe2O4, 0.25 for ZnFe2O4-Ag (1.0%), 0.70 for ZnFe2O4-Ag (1.5%), 0.66 for ZnFe2O4-Ag (2.0%), and 0.66 for ZnFe2O4-Ag (2.5%), showing that the disposition of Ag NPs (1.5-2.5%) increases the Φ to >0.60. The samples were used to photo-oxidize RhB under visible light assisted by photopowered Langmuir adsorption. The degradation follows first-order kinetics (k = 5.5 × 10-3 min-1), resulting in a greater k = 2.0 × 10-3 min-1 for ZnFe2O4-Ag than for ZnFe2O4 (or Fe3O4, k = 1.1 × 10-3 min-1). DFT-total energy was used to analyze the intermediates formed from the RhB oxidation. Finally, the ZnFe2O4-Ag exhibits good antibacterial behavior because of the presence of Zn and the Ag components.Owing to differences in deformation characteristics of roadways with different section shapes and depths, it is difficult to determine the support form and grouting depth of a roadway, which can cause serious deformation to the roadway. To address the challenges in determining the shape and grouting depth of a roadway section when the mine depth is known, the loose zone range of the roadway was tested using the acoustic method, and the loose zone evolution law under different conditions was performed by numerical simulations. The research results revealed that when the ratio of the maximum principal stress to the minimum principal stress is η > 3, the distribution of the rock loosening zone under different cross-sectional shapes was roughly "butterfly-shaped", and the "smoother" the cross section in the design of the roadway, the smaller the range of the rock loosening zone. With the increase of burial depth, the rock loosening zone and sealing depth also increase; the rock loosening zone and burial depth have a power function relationship the rock loosening zone range = a·burial depth b ; the sealing depth and burial depth have a linear relationship R = aH + b.Through thermodynamic calculation and high-temperature simulation experiments, the coupling behavior between gasification of high- and low-reactivity cokes and reduction of sintering ore in CO-N2-H2 mixed gas with 25% H2 volume fraction was studied, and the evolution of the coke carbon structure and the pore structure was analyzed. The results show that the reaction rate of the two cokes increases with the increase in temperature after the coupling reaction, and the strength after drumming decreases with the increase in temperature. The strength of low-reactivity coke after the reaction is higher than that of high-reactivity coke, and the reduction degree of sintering ore after the coupling reaction with low-reactivity coke is higher than that with high-reactivity coke. At high temperatures and high hydrogen-rich atmospheres with φ(H2) of 25%, the strength of high-reactivity coke after drum rotation is greater than 60.4%. The graphitization degree and carbon structure order of low-reactivity coke are higher than those of high-reactivity coke.
