TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive research was carried out to develop a bio-inspired 3D photothermal cone for high efficiency solar-driven evaporation with minimum light reflection and heat loss to bulk water.
Abstract: Solar-driven evaporation based on photothermal membrane has been proved to be promising in the field of fresh water generation, and it is considered as an emerging strategy both in laboratory and in industrial scales. However, further research efforts have to be made on light harvesting and thermal management to improve water evaporation. In this study, an extensive research was carried out to develop a bio-inspired 3D photothermal cone for high-efficiency solar-driven evaporation with minimum light reflection and heat loss to bulk water. The artificial photothermal cone with a polypyrrole (PPy) coating layer was facilely fabricated via chemical vapor deposition polymerization (CVDP). The present 3D cone with a rationally designed conical structure exhibited satisfactory absorbance around 99.2% in the entire solar spectrum, which is comparable with the performances of super-black materials. Additionally, the heat loss has been minimized by elevating the photothermal cone to narrow the contact area between water and the PPy-based cone with good wettability, thus achieving a highly efficient interface heating. The solar conversion efficiency up to 93.8% for evaporation was achieved for the photothermal cone under one sun illumination, which is about 1.7 times as high as the result obtained for a plane film. Based on our results, controlling the 3D morphology can be considered as an important strategy for designing a novel high-efficiency photothermal membrane and also, it provides new opportunities in practical application.

TL;DR: Modulations of gut microbiota by different fucoidans were studied and it was found that at the expense of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria such as Peptococcus, the abundance of beneficial bacteria was significantly increased in response to fucoidan treatment.
Abstract: Recently, fucoidan has been proposed as a potential prebiotic agent for functional food and pharmaceutical development. However, while previous studies illustrated favorable modulations of gut microbiota by fucoidan, changes in the overall microbial structure remain elusive. In the present study, modulations of gut microbiota by different fucoidans were studied using high throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. We found that at the expense of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria such as Peptococcus, the abundance of beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillus and Ruminococcaceae was significantly increased in response to fucoidan treatment. Besides, by maintaining a more balanced composition of gut microbiota, dietary fucoidan also significantly reduced the antigen load and the inflammatory response in the host as evidenced by the decreased serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein levels. Collectively, our results indicate that fucoidan can be used as a gut microbiota modulator for health promotion and treatment of intestinal dysbiosis.

TL;DR: The geologic framework of the Phanerozoic Qinling-Dabie orogen was built up through two major suturing events of three blocks. as mentioned in this paper showed that the blocks are surrounded by complexly deformed Devonian to Early Triassic metasandstones and metapelites, forming a regional-scale blockin-matrix melange fabric.
