Emergy evaluation of the contribution of irrigation water, and its utilization, in three agricultural systems in China

Emergy theory and method are used to evaluate the contribution of irrigation water, and the process of its utilization, in three agricultural systems. The agricultural systems evaluated in this study were rice, wheat, and oilseed rape productions in an irrigation pumping district of China. A corresponding framework for emergy evaluation and sensitivity analysis methods was proposed. Two new indices, the fraction of irrigation water （FIW）, and the irrigation intensity of agriculture （IIA）, were developed to depict the contribution of irrigation water. The calculated FIW indicated that irrigation water used for the rice production system （34.7%） contributed more than irrigation water used for wheat （5.3%） and oilseed rape （11.2%） production systems in a typical dry year. The wheat production with an IIA of 19.0 had the highest net benefit from irrigation compared to the rice （2.9） and oilseed rape （8.9） productions. The transformities of the systems＇ products represented different energy efficiencies for rice （2.50E ＋ 05 sej .J^-1）, wheat （1.66E ＋ 05 sej .J^-1） and oilseed rape （2.14E ＋ 05 sej .J^-1） production systems. According to several emergy indices, of the three systems evaluated, the rice system had the greatest level of sustainability. However, all of them were less sustainable than the ecological agricultural systems. A sensitivity analysis showed that the emergy inputs of irrigation water and nitrogenous fertilizer were the highest sensitivity factors influencing the emergy ratios. Best Management Practices, and other agroecological strategies, could be implemented to make further improvements in the sustainability of the three systems.

Double crosslinked biomimetic composite hydrogels containing topographical cues and WAY-316606 induce neural tissue regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury(SCI)is an overwhelming and incurable disabling condition,for which increasing forms of multifunctional biomaterials are being tested,but with limited progression.The promising material should be able to fill SCI-induced cavities and direct the growth of new neurons,with effective drug loading to improve the local micro-organism environment and promote neural tissue regeneration.In this study,a double crosslinked biomimetic composite hydrogel comprised of acellularized spinal cord matrix(ASCM)and gelatin-acrylated-β-cyclodextrin-polyethene glycol diacrylate(designated G-CD-PEGDA)hydrogel,loaded with WAY-316606 to activate canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling,and reinforced by a bundle of three-dimensionally printed aligned polycaprolactone(PCL)microfibers,was constructed.The G-CD-PEGDA component endowed the composite hydrogel with a dynamic structure with a self-healing capability which enabled cell migration,while the ASCM component promoted neural cell affinity and proliferation.The diffusion of WAY-316606 could recruit endogenous neural stem cells and improve neuronal differentiation.The aligned PCL microfibers guided neurite elongation in the longitudinal direction.Animal behavior studies further showed that the composite hydrogel could significantly recover the motor function of rats after SCI.This study provides a proficient approach to produce a multifunctional system with desirable physiological,chemical,and topographical cues for treating patients with SCI.

Reducing Canine Echinococcus Infection with Smart Deworming Collars--Tibet,China,June-November,2020

What is already known about this topic?Existing manual deworming programs launched have made great progress in reducing the Echinococcus infection rate of domestic dogs,but significant challenges remain in scattered nomadic communities inhabiting the Tibetan Plateau.The low deworming frequency and low levels of coverage were responsible for the high infection rate of Echinococcus spp.among dogs.What is added by this report?Smart deworming collars controlled by a remote management system(RMS)was found to increase the deworming frequency and coverage and subsequently reduce the canine infection rates with Echinococcus spp..What are the implications for public health practice?As an innovative tool,smart deworming collars may drive the paradigm shift from manual deworming to smart deworming and stop the transmission of echinococcosis.

Enhanced Li+migration in solid polymer electrolyte driven by anion-containing polymer-chains

Li-ion batteries with solid polymer electrolytes(SPEs)are safer than conventional liquid electrolytes due to the absence of highly flammable liquid electrolytes.However,their performance is limited by the poor Li+transport in SPEs at room temperature.Anion-containing polymer-chains incorporated SPEs(ASPEs)are therefore developed to enhance Li^(+) diffusion kinetics.Herein,we propose a novel and feasible strategy to incorporate the anion-containing polymer-chains,such as lithiated perfluorinated sulfonic acid(PFSA),into polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)polymer-based SPEs.The immobile anion groups from the PFSA-chains impede the migration of mobile anion groups dissociated from the Li salt.The transference number is thus raised from∼0.3 to 0.52 with the introduction of anion-containing polymer-chains into SPEs.The electrostatic repulsion among anion-containing chains also reduces the close chain stacking and brings 159%increase in the ionic conductivity to 0.83×10^(−3) S/cm at 30℃ in contrast with the pure PVDF-based SPE.In addition,LiFeO_(4)/Li batteries with ASPEs exhibit 55%capacity boost at 0.5 C in contrast to the capacity of batteries with pure-PVDF SPEs,and also offer more than 1000 charge/discharge cycles.Our research findings potentially offer a facile strategy to design thermal stable SPEs with superior Li^(+) transport behaviors towards developing high-performance SPEs-based batteries.

Emergy evaluation of a pumping irrigation water production system in China

The emergy concept was used to evaluate a pumping irrigation water production system in China. A framework for emergy evaluation of the significance of irrigation water and its production process was developed. The results show that the irrigation water saved has the highest emergy value （8.73E ＋ 05 sej. J-1）, followed by the irrigation water supplied to farmlands （1.72E ＋ 05 sej.J-1）, the pumped water （4.81E＋04sej.-1）, with the lowest value shown from water taken from the local river （3.72E ＋04sej.j1）. The major contributions to the emergy needed for production are the inputs of soil and water. This production system could contribute to the irrigated agriculture and economy, according to several calculated emergy indices： emergy yield ratio （EYR）, emergy investment ratio （EIR）, environmental load ratio （ELR）, and environmental sustainability index （ESI）. The com- parative analysis shows that the emergy theory and method, different from the conventional monetary-based analysis, could be used to evaluate irrigation water and its production process in terms of the biophysical account. Additional emergy evaluations should be completed on different types of water production and irrigated agricul- tural systems to provide adequate guidelines for the sustainability of irrigation development.
