Unsustainable production and consumption patterns in China's metropolitan areas have resulted in an increase in the production of waste materials for which local governments have to find solutions, one of which is the construction of waste incineration power plants. These plans often meet resistance from residents who fear negative environmental impacts . This paper presents an in-depth study of how Chinese local governments responded to an environmental conflict regarding the construction of an incineration power plant in Panyu district, Guangzhou City, PRC, using a typology to identify and categorize these government responses. The empirical analysis shows that local governments engage in various new ways of dealing with these conflicts. The article aims to enhance insight into the response of Chinese local governments to these conflicts and provide building block for further research.

A weakly acidic H 3 BO 3 solution (pH = 5.1) was used to synthesize new oxygen-evolution catalysts for water splitting under mild conditions. Two novel oxygen-evolution catalysts, Co–BA i and Mn–BA i (BA i = inorganic boric acid), were obtained in the H 3 BO 3 solution with added Co 2+ and Mn 2+ , respectively. The average oxygen evolution rate in the H 3 BO 3 solution with Co 2+ was 0.3133 μmol/h, about 70 times greater than the rate without a metal ion ; the rate with Mn 2+ was 1.13 μmol/h, about 250 times greater. The phases, morphologies, and compositions of the Co–BA i and Mn–BA i catalysts were analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy .

Tumor microenvironment is closely related to the occurrence and development of liver cancer. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are an important part of tumor microenvironment promoting tumor deterioration and metastasis by inhibiting immune cells. Previous studies showed that PI3Kγ inhibitor could reverse the phenotype of TAMs, relieve immunosuppression and sensitize chemotherapy drugs, suggesting that the combination of PI3Kγ inhibitor and chemotherapeutics is likely to bring new breakthroughs in the treatment of liver cancer. Based on it, this paper builds HES-TG100-115-CDM-PEG micelles with tumor microenvironment responsiveness that simultaneously loaded sorafenib and TG100-115 to synergistically treat liver cancer. Pharmacokinetic study showed that the prepared micelles had longer half-life than that of the free drug solutions, which was favorable for high propensity of extravasation through tumor vascular fenestrations. Under low pH and high α-amylasereductive conditions, micelles could depolymerize quickly due to the sensitivity of bonds and enhance significantly cytotoxic activity against Hep-3B liver cancer cell. Additionally, micelles demonstrated higher levels of antitumor efficiency and better tolerance against nude mouse with Hep-3B cell than the free drug solutions. These findings reveal that HES-TG100-115-CDM-PEG micelles are a promising drug delivery system in clinical comprehensive therapy of liver cancer.

Purpose The environmental safety of both nano-TiO 2 particles and mercury (Hg) pollution has been of widespread concern. Soils and sediments were the main receiving environments of nano-TiO 2 and Hg. There was a strong association between nano-TiO 2 with Hg compounds. Very limited research has been carried out on the impact of nano-TiO 2 on the environmental behavior of Hg in sediments. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nano-TiO 2 on the release and transformation of Hg in sediments. Materials and methods Two types of TiO 2 nanoparticles were employed. Sediment samples were collected in the water level fluctuating zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China. Sediment samples spiked with HgCl 2 solution were taken as Hg-contaminated sediments. The flooding experiments were conducted using capped borosilicate glass bottles containing 300 ml TiO 2 suspensions (0.2 g L −1 and 0.4 g L −1 ) and 30 g original or Hg-contaminated sediment samples outdoors. All experiments were conducted in triplicate. Water samples were collected at determined interval times over a 60-day period. Sediments were collected on the 60th day. Total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MHg) in both water and sediment samples and Hg speciation just in sediment samples were determined. A series of control samples without TiO 2 addition were also prepared. Results and discussion The results showed that nano-TiO 2 particles at high content (4 g kg −1 ) promoted the release of Hg in sediments, and the anatase particles showed a stronger effect. Methyl Hg concentrations in waters of nano-TiO 2 treatments significantly decreased by the 10th day. The effect of nano-TiO 2 greatly depended on anatase and rutile particles. After that, methyl Hg concentrations had no significant difference between nano-TiO 2 treatments and the control, except 2 g kg −1 rutile treatment by the 20th day. The changes of Hg speciation in sediments demonstrated that nano-TiO 2 inhibited the transformation of Hg-bound organic matter into the oxidated state, especially upon 2 g kg −1 rutile treatment. This was consistent with the lower MHg concentrations in the 2 g kg −1 rutile treatment. Conclusions Both anatase and rutile nano-TiO 2 were found to affect the release of Hg in sediment. Nano-TiO 2 promoted THg release in sediments and posed an increased risk of Hg contamination in waters, especially for anatase particles. Moreover, nano-TiO 2 inhibited the methylation process of Hg in sediments at the initial stage of flooding and could affect the transformation of Hg speciation in sediments, especially for low-content rutile particles.

Gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3 ), a promising semiconductor material, has attracted significant attention in recent years. This study focuses on a method for rapidly obtaining high-purity Ga 2 O 3 through the one-step hydrolysis of gallium in an alkaline environment to address the challenges of complex experimental equipment and the high-pressure condition of the traditional method. Uniformly dispersed rod-like GaOOH with a length of 2 µm is prepared using a 5 mM polyvinylpyrrolidone solution. Additionally, Ga 2 O 3 (500 °C α-Ga 2 O 3 and 800 °C β-Ga 2 O 3 ) with different crystal forms is prepared by calcinating GaOOH at different temperatures. Compared with conventional methods, this approach offers a fast, safe, and cheap process for preparing high-purity Ga 2 O 3 .

The intrinsic low lattice thermal conductivities originates from the complex anion bonding environment make quaternary chalcogenides potential thermoelectric materials. Here, the bonding environment of Se atom in Cu 2.1 Mn 0.9 SnSe 4 is further regulated by substituting Mn 2+ with equimolar pairing elements (Ag + and In 3+ ). The increase in both bond length and angle, together with the reduction in bond strength of Ag Se and In Se bonds, cause the doped samples to display strong anharmonicities ( γ ∼ 1.84–2.04). And the weakened bond strength also lower the sound velocities. Consequently, the κ L of the doped samples is effectively constrained, achieving a minimum value of 0.55 W⸱m −1 ⸱K −1 at 673 K in x = 0.10 sample. Ultimately, a zT value of 0.53 at 673 K is attained in x = 0.10 sample. The modification of bonding environment around anion is considered as an effective mean to optimize the thermoelectric performance of quaternary chalcogenides.

Understanding the effect of the atmosphere on the release of alkali and alkaline-earth metals (AAEM) during oxy-fuel combustion is important for the development of oxy-fuel combustion technologies with reduced problems with particulate formation and corrosion. To this end, we examined the release behavior of AAEM during oxy-fuel combustion in different gas environments. A drop-tube reactor and ion chromatography were used to investigate the release rates of AAEM. Our results show that the release rates of Na and K were higher than those of Ca and Mg in all types of gas environments. Experimental conditions that favor combustion, namely, higher temperature, higher oxygen content, and longer residence time, markedly increased the release rates of Na and K, whereas changes in the release rates of Ca and Mg were much smaller. The presence of SO 2 in the atmosphere suppressed the release of AAEM via formation of sulfates, whereas the presence of H 2 O promoted it. A synergistic effect of H 2 O and SO 2 on the release of AAEM during oxy-fuel combustion was observed.

In previous work, the corrosion performance and anti-corrosion mechanism of galvanized steel wire embedded in vegetation-growing concrete under marine environment was highlighted. In this work, a graphene-modified epoxy coating was developed and applied to the protection of galvanized steel in vegetation-growing concrete under a marine environment. The effect of dispersed graphene on the anticorrosion performance of the epoxy coatings was evaluated. The composite coatings displayed outstanding barrier properties against H 2 O molecules compared to the pure epoxy coating. Salt spray test results revealed superior corrosion resistance offered by the prepared graphene-modified epoxy coating on galvanized steel.

A negatively charged polypeptide nanogel, near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dye (Cy5.5) conjugated and 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DMA) modified poly- l -lysine-co- l -cystine (CDPLC), is synthesized and is used as an imaging-guided sequential drug delivery system. The CDPLC nanogel can respond to two general stimulations in sequence: extracellular tumor acidic microenvironment pHe (6.8–6.5) and intracellular high concentration glutathione (GSH). Under pHe, the DMA shell of the nanogel is removed and a charge reversal takes place, resulting in positively charged nanogel which can be internalized by cancer cells easily. Once internalized into tumor cells, the increased intracellular GSH concentration further promotes DOX release from the nanogel and DOX is enriched to the nucleus. Cy5.5 is conjugated to the nanogel as an NIR fluorescent probe, making it possible for imaging-guided drug delivery, which is confirmed by the MTT and confocal laser scanning microscopy via in vitro experiments. The as-prepared nanogel is a potential theranostic for cancer therapy.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the main nano-contaminants and their entry into the environment may pose a threat to the aquatic ecosystems . Meanwhile, AgNPs have an important impact on geological processes . In this paper, we studied the influence of AgNPs on the sedimentation of suspended sediments . Results showed the settling rate of sediments increased from 13.06 to 20.08 h −1 in the presence of 0.2 mg/L AgNPs. The morphology characterization indicated the average particle size of sediments increased from 34.74 to 42.87 μm after interacting with AgNPs, resulting in the acceleration of settlement on the basis of Stokes' law. The chemical analysis detected 43–57% of AgNPs were incorporated onto sediments, which was the dominant reason for the increased sediments size and settling rate. The influences of various water quality parameters, e.g., pH, ionic strength , temperature, humic acid and surfactant , on the sediments settlement and interaction with AgNPs were comprehensively studied. Elevating the solution pH, ionic strength, temperature, contents of humic acid and anionic/nonionic surfactants would suppress the settling of suspended sediments , whereas cationic surfactant showed a promoting effect on sediments settlement. In addition, the settling experiments were conducted in collected lake water and seawater , and results showed the real water matrices hindered the sediments settlement and interaction with AgNPs.

Under mild conditions (near-neutral aqueous solutions, room temperature , and atmospheric pressure), an attractive electrolyte was expanded for splitting water and three novel oxygen-evolution catalysts (Co-C i , Ni-C i , Ag-C i ) were generated. The Co-C i catalyst showed a high oxygen-evolution rate (24.42 μmol h −1 ), a low oxygen-evolution overpotential (395 mV) and excellent stability. In addition, the non-amorphous Ag-C i catalyst, different from reported catalyst, was generated. The catalyst has been further characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

A modified electrode was fabricated by casting graphene oxide (GO) suspension onto the surface of active glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and it can significantly enhanced the oxidation peak currents of m-trihydroxybenzene (m-THB) and p-nitrophenol (p-NP). Based on this, a sensitive analytical method towards their simultaneous determination was established. Many influencing factors such as the type of electrolyte, acidity, scan rates and concentrations were explored. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the oxidation peak currents of m-THB and p-NP were linearly increased with their concentrations ranging from 9 to 100 μM, with the detection limits both of 1 μM. Comparing with other reported methods, this sensor showed wider linear range and lower detection limit. In addition, the proposed method was successfully used to analysis of real environmental water samples with satisfactory recoveries, which verified the practicability of the sensor.
