regard to how enzymatic responses to global
warming. To reveal the general response
patterns and controlling factors of various
extracellular enzyme activities (EEA), we
collected data from 78 peer-reviewed papers
to investigate the responses of extracellular
enzyme activities (EEA), including β-1,4-
glucosidase (BG), β-D-cellobiosidase (CBH),
β-1,4-xylosidase (XYL), leucine amino
peptidase (LAP), N-acetyl-glucosaminidase
(NAG), urease (URE), phosphatase (PHO),
peroxidase (PER), phenol oxidase (POX), and
polyphenol oxidase (PPO), to experimental
warming. Our results showed that warming
treatments increased soil temperature by 1.9
°C on average. The oxidative EEA, calculated
as the sum of PER, POX and PPO, was on
average stimulated by 9.4% under warming.
However, the responses of C acquisition EEA
(the sum of BG, CBH and XYL), N
acquisition EEA (the sum of LAP, NAG and
URE), and P acquisition EEA to warming had
large variations across studies. The warming
effects on C, N, P acquisition EEA and
oxidative EEA tended to increase with soil
warming magnitude and duration as well as
the mean annual temperature. The response of
C acquisition EEA to warming was positively
correlated with fungal biomass, while that of
P acquisition EEA had positive relationships
with fungi: bacteria ratios. The response of
oxidative EEA was negatively correlated with
the abundance of gram-positive bacterial
biomass. Our results suggested that warming
consistently stimulated oxidative EEA, but
had diverse effects on hydrolytic EEA, which
were dependent on the warming magnitude or
duration, or environmental factors. The
observed relationships between changes in
microbial traits and extracellular enzymes
suggested that microbial compositions drive
changes in enzyme decomposition under
warming. Thus, incorporation of microbial
modification in biogeochemistry models is
essential to better predict ecosystem carbon
and nutrient dynamics. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Demattê J.A.M. mapping topsoil useful for investigating mineralogical,
properties over Europe physical and chemical properties of soils,
which can reduce the need for traditionalwet
chemistry analyses. Asmany collections of
multispectral satellite data are available for
environmental studies, a large extent with
medium resolution mapping could be
benefited from the spectral measurements
made from remote sensors. In this paper, we
explored the use of bare soil composites
generated from the large historical collections
of Landsat images for mapping cropland
topsoil attributes across the European extent.
For this task, we used the Geospatial Soil
Sensing System (GEOS3) for generating two
bare soil composites of 30 m resolution
(named synthetic soil images, SYSI), which
were employed to represent the median
topsoil reflectance of bare fields. The first
(framed SYSI) was made with multitemporal
images (2006-2012) framed to the survey
time of the Land-Use/Land-Cover Area
Frame Survey (LUCAS) soil dataset (2009),
seeking to be more compatible to the soil
condition upon the sampling campaign. The
second (full SYSI) was generated from the
full collection of Landsat images (1982-
2018), which although displaced to the field
survey, yields a higher proportion of bare
areas for soil mapping. For evaluating the two
SYSIs, we used the laboratory spectral data as
a reference of topsoil reflectance to calculate
the Spearman correlation coeffcient.
Furthermore, both SYSIs employed machine
learning for calibrating prediction models of
clay, sand, soil organic carbon (SOC),
calcium carbonates (CaCO3), cation exchange
capacity (CEC), and pH determined in water,
using the gradient boosting regression
algorithm. The original LUCAS laboratory
spectra and a version of the data resampled to
the Landsat multispectral bands were also
used as reference of prediction performance
using VIS-NIR-SWIR multispectral data. Our
results suggest that generating a bare soil
composite displaced to the survey time of soil
observations did not improve the quality of
topsoil reflectance, and consequently, the
prediction performance of soil attributes.
Despite the lower spectral resolution and the
variability of soils in Europe, a SYSI
calculated from the full collection of Landsat
images can be employed for topsoil prediction
of clay and CaCO3 contents with a moderate
performance (testing R2, root mean square
error (RMSE) and ratio of performance to
interquartile range (RPIQ) of 0.44, 9.59, 1.77,
and 0.36, 13.99, 1.54, respectively). Thus, this
study shows that although there exist some
constraints due to the spatial and temporal
variation of soil exposures and among the
Landsat sensors, it is possible to use bare soil
composites for mapping key soil attributes of
croplands across the European extent. © 2020

Behaviors device. In this work, a simple approach to
realize a synaptic transistor with improved
memory characteristics is demonstrated by
doping an ionic additive, tetrabutylammonium
perchlorate (TBAP), into an active polymer
semiconductor without using any extra charge
storage layer. TBAP doping is first revealed
to improve the memory window of a derived
transistor memory device from 19 to 32 V
(∼68% enhancement) with an on/off current
ratio over 103 at VG =-10 V. Through
morphological analysis and theoretical
calculations, it is revealed that the association
of anion with polymers enhances the charge
retention capability of the polymer and
facilitates the interchain interactions to result
in improved memory characteristics. More
critically, the doped device is shown to
successfully mimic the synaptic behaviors,
such as paired-pulse facilitation (PPF),
excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic
currents, and spike-rate dependent plasticity.
Notably, the TBAP-doped device is shown to
deliver a PPF index of up to 204% in contrast
to the negligible value of an undoped device.
This study describes a novel approach to
prepare a synaptic transistor by doping
conjugated polymers, which can promote the
future development of artificial neuromorphic
systems. Copyright © 2020 American

has been identified that exhibits a binding
enthalpy within the optimal range of-15 to-25
kJ/mol for ambient-temperature hydrogen
storage. Here, we report the hydrogen
adsorption properties of the metal-organic
framework (MOF) V2Cl2.8(btdd) (H2btdd,
bis(1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b],[4′,5′-
i])dibenzo[1,4]dioxin), which features
exposed vanadium(II) sites capable of
backbonding with weak πacids. Significantly,
gas adsorption data reveal that this material
binds H2 with an enthalpy of-21 kJ/mol. This
binding energy enables usable hydrogen
capacities that exceed that of compressed
storage under the same operating conditions.
The Kubas-type vanadium(II)-dihydrogen
complexation is characterized by a
combination of techniques. From powder
neutron diffraction data, a V-D2(centroid)
distance of 1.966(8) Å is obtained, the
shortest yet reported for a MOF. Using in situ
infrared spectroscopy, the H-H stretch was
identified, and it displays a red shift of 242
cm-1. Electronic structure calculations show
that a main contribution to bonding stems
from the interaction between the vanadium dπ
and H2 σ∗ orbital. Ultimately, the pursuit of
MOFs containing high densities of weakly π-
basic metal sites may enable storage
capacities under ambient conditions that far
surpass those accessible with compressed gas
storage. © 2021 American Chemical Society.

of methylammonium (MA) lead iodide
perovskite, which drive the structural
distortion after photoexcitation. Vibrational
analysis of the measured data allows us to
monitor the time-evolved librational motion
of the MA cation along with the vibrational
coherences of the inorganic sublattice.
Wavelet analysis of the observed vibrational
coherences reveals the coherent generation of
the librational motion of the MA cation within
∼300 fs complemented with the coherent
evolution of the inorganic skeletal motion. To
rationalize this observation, we employed the
configuration interaction singles (CIS), which
support our experimental observations of the
coherent generation of librational motions in
the MA cation and highlight the importance
of the anharmonic interaction between the
MA cation and the inorganic sublattice.
Moreover, our advanced theoretical
calculations predict the transfer of the
photoinduced vibrational coherence from the
MA cation to the inorganic sublattice, leading
to reorganization of the lattice to form a
polaronic state with a long lifetime. Our study
uncovers the interplay of the organic cation
and inorganic sublattice during formation of
the polaron, which may lead to novel design
principles for the next generation of

stricter outbreak control, the levels of PM2.5

from NCP to CP, with average reduction rates
of 31.6%, 38.9% and 35.1% at PD, and
34.5%, 50.7% and 37.9% at DSL,
respectively. The major source for PM2.5 was
secondary sulfate &amp; nitrate in both
periods, and the emission control of primary
sources such as coal burning and vehicle
exhaust decreased the levels of precursors gas
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which
highly contributed to the abatement of PM2.5

at both PD and DSL on CP might be due to
the weak nitrogen monoxide titration, low
relative humidity and high visibility compared
with NCP. Vehicle exhaust and fugitive
emission from petrochemical industry were
the major contributors of ambient VOCs and
their decreasing activities mainly accounted
for VOCs abatement. Moreover, the high
frequency of haze-fog events was closely
impacted by medium-scale regional transport
within Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
Therefore, the decreasing regional transported
air pollutants coincided with the emission
control of local sources to cause the
abatement of haze-fog events in YRD region

ABSTRACT: Currently, the sustainable fabrication of supercapacitors with enhanced
properties is one of the significant research hotspots. Nevertheless, the performances of
energy storage devices critically depend on their electrode materials. Accordingly, herein,
we report the synthesis of a ZnO-Co3O4 nanocomposite using organic compounds of E.
cognata, which was obtained via sol-gel synthesis. According to the synthesis strategy, the
precursor solution was treated with a plant organic complex, and the consequent
transformation to ZnO-Co3O4 was achieved via annealing a metal phyto-organic
framework-derived complex in air. Furthermore, we tailored the surface chemistry of ZnO-
Co3O4 using organic molecules of E. cognata. The present study successfully synthesized
ZnO-Co3O4 nanocomposite with a particle size of 20 nm, which was subsequently
investigated as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Consequently, it was revealed that
the nano-features and phyto-organic functional groups provided abundant active sites for
charge storage with a specific capacitance of 165 F g-1, as calculated by the cyclic
voltammetry. The phyto-functionalized nanocomposite exhibited an energy density of 4.1
W h kg-1 and a power density of 7.5 kW kg-1, which were calculated using charge
discharge data. Therefore, all the findings effectively demonstrate the potential of the
functionalized ZnO-Co3O4 nanocomposite as an effective electrode material for
application as a supercapacitor on a practical scale. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and

ABSTRACT: Future climate change-driven alterations in precipitation patterns, increases


in temperature, and rises in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]atm) are
expected to alter agricultural productivity and environmental quality, while high latitude
countries like Canada are likely to face more challenges from global climate change.
However, potential climate change impact on GHG emissions from tile-drained fields is
poorly documented. Accordingly, climate change impacts on GHG emissions, N losses to
drainage and crop production in a subsurface-drained field in Southern Quebec, Canada
were assessed using calibrated and validated RZWQM2 model. The RZWQM2 model was
run for a historical period (1971–2000) and for a future period (2038 to 2070) using data
generated from 11 different GCM-RCMs (global climate models coupled with regional
climate models). Under the projected warmer and higher rainfall conditions mean drainage
flow was predicted to increase by 17%, and the N losses through subsurface drains increase
by 47%. Despite the negative effect of warming temperature on crop yield, soybean yield
was predicted to increase by 31% due to increased photosynthesis rates and improved crop
water use efficiency (WUE) under elevated [CO2]atm, while corn yield was reduced by 7%
even with elevated [CO2]atm because of a shorter life cycle from seedling to maturity
resulted from higher temperature. The N2O emissions would be enhanced by 21% due to
greater denitrification and mineralization, while CO2 emissions would increase by 16%
because of more crop biomass accumulation, higher crop residue decomposition, and
greater soil microbial activities. Soil organic carbon storage was predicted to decrease 22%
faster in the future, which would result in higher global warming potential in turn. This
study demonstrates the potential of exacerbating GHG emissions and water quality
problems and reduced corn yield under climate change impact in subsurface drained fields
in southern Quebec. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT: Lactose-free dairy products undergo several chemical modifications during
shelf life because of the reactivity of glucose and galactose produced by the lactose
enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS),
coupled with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer, was applied to get an insight on the
phenomena occurring during the shelf life of ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) lactose-free
milk (LFM). UHT LFMs produced by three different commercial lactase preparations were
evaluated during storage at 20°C over a 150 days period, sampling the milk every 30 days.
Production was repeated three times, on three consecutive weeks, in order to take milk
variability into consideration. Principal component analysis applied to the whole
“volatilome” data demonstrated the capability of PTR-TOF-MS in detecting the milk
batch-to-batch variability: Freshly produced milk samples were distinguished based on the
week of production at the beginning of shelf life. Additionally, a clear evolution of the
volatiles organic compounds (VOCs) profiling during storage was highlighted. Further
statistical analysis confirmed VOCs temporal evolution, mostly because of changes in
methyl ketones concentration. Differences caused by the commercial lactases did not
emerged, except for benzaldehyde. Altogether, data demonstrated PTR-TOF-MS analysis
as a valuable and rapid method for the detection of changes in the VOCs profiling of UHT
LFM. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

4. Discussion and Conclusion

Paragraph issue 1
The findings argue that, in the modern era, internet technologies have increased
the flexibility of post secondary education in a variety of ways. Institutions
should make strategic use of these new flexibility, concentrating on chances to
engage students more deeply in learning that results in practical outcomes.

The results showed significant increases in collaboration and creativity in the


activities and assignments on Zoom. Critical thinking and communication skills did
not change significantly in the Zoom-based dance class. Students were generally
satisfied with the use of Zoom in dance class, but their self-reported self-
efficacy significantly decreased after Zoom was introduced. The findings are
discussed from both the students’ and the instructor's perspectives.

Game elements such as meaning, onboard tutorial, social pressure and guild/teams
are necessary for a gamified learning platform to motivate underachievers in
online lesson participation.
