Co-pollution of nitrate and tetracycline (TC) poses a critical barrier to efficient biological treatment due to impaired electron transfer, diminished microbial metabolic activity, and disrupted community structure. To address this challenge, this study synthesized an iron-nitrogen-doped carbon material (Fe-NC) featuring electron-withdrawing pyridinic nit ...

Bilingual children learn their languages through rich interactions with caregivers within dynamic family contexts. However, little is known about how families align their two languages to support bilingual acquisition and how this varies across bilingual communities. This study examines language choice alignment across two communities: French-English fami ...

Homelessness remains an enduring social issue, in part, due to the stigmatization of and discrimination toward people experiencing homelessness, known as homeism. Despite extant research on the topic, little is known about how homeism, enacted through stigmatization and discrimination, may occur within transitional housing programs or among older people e ...

Community-based monitoring (CBM) programs are increasingly recognized as essential for adaptive environmental stewardship. Yet, the CBM literature often highlights successful cases and privileges evaluations by external experts over those of community members themselves. To address this gap, we drew on insights from 23 semistructured interviews with Cree ...

Endophytes asymptomatically infect virtually all plant species, yet little is known about endophyte community assembly and diversity within the woody tissues of forest trees. We utilised phylogenetic null models of alpha (ses.MNTDab and ses.MPDab) and beta diversity (ses.ßMNTDab and ses.ßMPDab) to infer the role of deterministic and stochastic ecological ...

Background: Ensuring widespread COVID-19 vaccine uptake is a public health priority in Canada and globally, particularly within communities that exhibit lower uptake rates and are at a higher risk of infection. Public health units (PHUs) have leveraged many resources to promote the uptake of reco ...

Ocean oil spills can severely impact ecosystems and disrupt marine biodiversity and habitats. Microbial remediation is an effective method for removing thin oil slick contamination. In this study, the adsorption and degradation of low-concentration oil spills by Chlorella vulgaris LH-1 immobilized in konjac glucomannan (KGM) aerogel were investigated. The ...

A novel multi-signal functional material consisting of Hematin, Fe, and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) was successfully constructed (Hematin@Fe/GMP) to enhance denitrification efficiency based on the signal network regulation of electron transfer, micromolar Fe utilization, and microbial community. Hematin@Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate reduction rate by 2.33-fol ...

In this study, a functionally stable insoluble Cu/Fe nanoparticles (Cu/Fe NPs) were synthesized and applied denitrification with different contaminants. The results showed that 50 mg/L Cu/Fe NPs increased NO3--N reduction rate up to 14.3 mg/(L·h) about 3 folds compared with the control system (4.7 mg/(L·h)), and Cu/Fe NPs exhibited excellent restorative e ...

A novel functional nanomaterial composed of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) and Fe enhanced denitrification efficiency by regulating electron transfer and microbial community. Fe/GMP enhanced nitrate (NO3-) degradation rates by 3.00-fold in serum vial batch experiments, with a rate constant of 17.39 mg/(L·h) in sequencing batch reactor. Fe/GMP-mediated inte ...

Aims: Many older persons do not think of themselves as "patients" but as persons wishing to live as actively as possible for as long as possible. However, most health-related quality of life (HRQL) measures were developed for use with clinical populations. The aim of this project was to fill that ...
