The Distribution of Microbes along the Coast of Shanghai and its Relationship with Environmental Factors

Microbes play multiple roles in the marine ecosystem,with a variety of functions. Luchao Port,Yangshan Port and Waigaoqiao Port are three major ports near the coast of Shanghai,and it is necessary to study the abundance and water environment of microbes. The distribution of hydrological and chemical characteristics shows that the distribution of temperature,salinity,dissolved oxygen and nutrient salt exhibit certain seasonal characteristics in the surface waters. Correlation analysis indicates that the temperature of surface waters is positively correlated with the number of microbes,but not very clear; salinity is significantly positively correlated with it; dissolved oxygen is negatively correlated with it; the correlation between nutrient salt and abundance of microbes is complicated,but not very significant( P > 0. 05).

Precise sensitivity recognizing,privacy preserving,knowledge graph-based method for trajectory data publication

1Introduction The existing privacy protection methods of trajectory data publication have two problems.First,existing methods[1-3]cannot resist attribute link attacks effectively.In practical scenarios,it is necessary to integrate data from a variety of fields for data analysis,such as cross-domain recommendations.We usually need to obtain the user attributes outside of the trajectory data as background knowledge.

A Copyright-Preserving and Fair Image Trading SchemeBased on Blockchain

With the proliferation of the Internet,particularly the rise of social media,digital images have gradually become an important part of life,and trading platforms have emerged for buying and selling images.However,traditional image trading service providers may disclose users’private information for profit.Additionally,many image trading platforms disregard the fairness of a transaction and the issue of copyright protection after an image is sold.This neglect harms the interests of users and affects their enthusiasm for trading.A secure way to safely transact images is needed.We proposed a copyright-preserving and fair image trading scheme based on blockchain,which combines amplifying locality-sensitive hashing with searchable symmetric encryption to achieve safe image retrieval on blockchain and ensure the credibility of the image retrieval process.Additionally,we use digital fingerprint and watermark technologies to realize the copyright protection of images and use smart contracts to achieve fair transaction processes.The experimental results show that our scheme can protect image copyrights and realize a fair trading process while ensuring efficiency.

Intramedullary schwannoma of the upper cervical spinal cord:a case study of identification in pathologic autopsy

Intramedullary schwannoma of the upper cervical spinal cord is rarely reported in forensic medicine.We herein report a case involving a patient who died of compression from an intramedullary schwannoma in the upper cervical spinal cord.A 30-year-old man initially presented with a five-day history of pain in the left chest that progressed to weakening in the left arm.Although the patient was treated with analgesic poultices,he developed inspiratory dyspnoea and died while working the next day without having undergone any medical imaging examination or surgical treatment.Anatomical and histopathological examinations revealed an intramedullary schwannoma in the left cervical spinal cord(C_(3)-C_(5))underneath the spinal nerve root.The cause of death might have been asphyxia secondary to the tumour,which interfered with the nerve function in the respiratory muscles.This finding suggests that an autopsy is essential for pathologists and medicolegists to comprehensively undertake their due obligation to obtain“the first evidence”,especially when there is a lack of directly related evidence.As part of the central nervous system,the spinal cord could be systematically included in a routine pathological autopsy in some cases.

Preparation and characterization of MgO hybrid biochar and its mechanism for high efficient recovery of phosphorus from aqueous media

Conversion of organic waste into engineered metal-biochar composite is an effective way of enhancing biochar’s efficiency for adsorptive capture of phosphorus(P)from aqueous media.Thus,various strategies have been created for the production of metal-biochar composites;however,the complex preparation steps,high-cost metal salt reagent application,or extreme process equipment requirements involved in those strategies limited the large-scale production of metal-biochar composites.In this study,a novel biochar composite rich in magnesium oxides(MFBC)was directly produced through co-pyrolysis of magnesite with food waste;the product,MFBC was used to adsorptively capture P from solution and bio-liquid wastewater.The results showed that compared to the pristine food waste biochar,MFBC was a uniformly hybrid MgO biochar composite with a P capture capacity of 523.91 mg/g.The capture of P by MFBC was fitted using the Langmuir and pseudo-first-order kinetic models.The P adsorptive capture was controlled by MgHPO4 formation and electrostatic attraction,which was affected by the coexisting F−and CO_(3)^(2−)ions.MFBC could recover more than 98%of P from the solution and bio-liquid wastewater.Although the P-adsorbed MFBC showed very limited reusability but it can be substituted for phosphate fertiliser in agricultural practices.This study provided an innovative technology for preparing MgO-biochar composite against P recovery from aqueous media,and also highlighted high-value-added approaches for resource utilization of bio-liquid wastewater and food waste.
