Abstract Bioelectricity generation, by Shewanella oneidensis ( S. ) MR-1, has become particularly alluring, thanks to its extraordinary prospects for energy production, pollution treatment, and biosynthesis. Attempts improve technological output modification of MR-1 remains complicated, expensive inefficient. Herein, we report on the augmentation with carbon dots (CDs). The CDs-fed cells show accelerated extracellular electron transfer metabolic rate, increased intracellular charge, higher...
Abstract Operational factors and microbial interactions affect the ecology in anaerobic digestion systems. From 12 lab-scale reactors operated under distinct engineering conditions, bacterial communities were found driven by temperature, while archaeal both temperature substrate properties. Combining community clustering patterns led to five sample groups (ambient, mesophilic low-solid-substrate, mesophilic, co-digestion thermophilic) for co-occurrence network analysis. Network topological...
Abstract The internationalization of higher education increasingly involves ‘Internationalization at a Distance’ (IaD), modality that alters how students engage with learning communities across geographical and cultural divides. Despite its growing prevalence, the complexity fostering student engagement in transnational settings remains underexplored. This study investigates application Community Inquiry (CoI) framework—comprising teaching, cognitive social presence—within Master Education...
Source-diverted blackwater (toilet wastewater) contains most of the organic energy in domestic wastewater and can be treated anaerobically to maximize recovery. Blackwater collected from toilets different water saving options (e.g., conventional, dual vacuum toilets) represents characteristics, but their digestibility has not been discussed. In present study, toilet flushing systems were characterized compared terms chemical composition, microbial population development during biochemical...
We report a new mechanism that does not require the formation of interfacial dislocations to mediate spiral growth during molecular beam epitaxy Bi2Se3. Based on in situ scanning tunneling microscopy observations, we find Bi2Se3 epitaxial graphene/SiC(0001) initiates with two-dimensional (2D) nucleation, and ensues pinning 2D fronts at jagged steps substrate or domain boundaries created coalescence islands. Winding as-created around these centers leads spirals. The can be broadly applied...
