Abstract Based on the emergency rescue, the subsequent disposal, and the development and utilization projects of the Hongshiyan Landside Dam in Ludian, Yunnan, China, research has been conducted on key technical issues facing the developmen...

Mixed Systems of Quaternary Ammonium Foam Drainage Agent with Carbon Quantum Dots and Silica Nanoparticles for Improved Gas Field Performance

Foam drainage agents enhance gas production by removing wellbore liquids. However, due to the ultra-high salinity environments of the Hechuan gas field (salinity up to 32.5 × 104 mg/L), no foam drainage agent is suitable for this gas field....

Selenium Nanoparticle-Enriched and Potential Probiotic, <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> S14 Strain, a Diet Supplement Beneficial for Rainbow Trout

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) intestine, were cultured in MRS medium and probiotic candidates. Concurrently, producers of elemental selenium nanoparticles (Se0Nps) were selected. Probiotic can...

Impact assessment of the farming–breeding–bioenergy integrated system on agricultural greenhouse gases in Northeast China

ABSTRACT: In this study, we constructed an integrated framework of a farming–breeding–bioenergy system to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories of various farming and breeding processes in the northeast region of China from...

Novel strategies to control the biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the food industry

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative human pathogenic bacterium that has the ability to form multicellular biofilm (BF) communities. Due to the presence of extracellular polymeric substances, BF protects bacteria from unfavorable envir...
