Developing corrosion inhibitors with low toxicity, eco-friendly, favorable water solubility, long-term, and efficiency is essential to inhibit metal corrosion.Herein, Eupatorium adenoprum leaves (EAL) extract is prepared via a pure water extraction method, and its inhibition for copper in 0.5 M H2SO4 is explored for the first time.The EIS and polarization curve results show that EAL extract can enhance the film and charge transfer resistance and reduce the c.d. of copper.After 48 h immersion, the inhibition efficiency value of 1000 mg/L EAL extract still reaches 97.7%, demonstrating that EAL extract presents long-term and dependable protection for copper in harsh acidic solutionThe weight loss, SEM/EDS, and AFM results are consistent with the above conclusion.According to Langmuir adsorption and theor. calculations, the interaction in EAL extract mols./copper substrate is discussed in detail.Thanks to the physicochem. adsorption effect, a monolayer EAL extract protective film is formed on copper surface.Furthermore, the crucial active adsorption sites are unsaturated double-bond, aromatic rings, carbonyl groups, and heteroatom in EAL extract mols.Ultimately, we expect this study to offer theor. support for developing new eco-friendly inhibitors and facilitate their application in industrial pickling environments.

Improving the water-holding and gelation properties of egg white by glycosylation and alkaline heating

Author: Wang, Yang ; Ye, Yang ; Li, Anjiao ; Gou, Xinyue ; Jia, Guixiang ; Xiang, Jingyu

We have improved the water-holding capacity and gelation properties of egg white gels by combining glycosylation with alk.-heating.A comprehensive evaluation was conducted, encompassing parameters such as color, texture, water-holding capacity (WHC), intermol. forces, secondary structure, and gel electrophoresis.The findings revealed that the glycosylation reaction by reducing the carbonyl group of the sugar and the amino group of the protein significantly influenced the gels color, yielding a distinctive reddish-brown hue.Addnl., the incorporation of glucose enhanced the WHC of the composite gel to 90%.The gels hardness exhibited a notable increase from 170 g to 379 g with the addition of 8% arabinose, while its elasticity improved to 2.9.Furthermore, chewiness increased from 227 g to 740 g upon the addition of 8% lactose.The glycosylation reaction facilitated a structural transition in the proteins, characterized by the conversion of β-sheets into random coils.Microstructural anal. indicated a shift from an ordered yet loose and porous architecture to a disordered, heterogeneous lamellar structure.The degree of crosslinking within the gel was augmented, and SDS-PAGE results corroborated the occurrence of protein aggregation.This study establishes a theor. foundation for advancing the quality and processing techniques of preserved eggs.

GSAformer: Group sparse attention transformer for functional brain network analysis

Article

Author: Zhang, Shuai ; Jiang, Xiao ; Nugent, Chris ; Qiao, Lishan ; Zhou, Lina ; Pang, Mengxue ; Zhang, Jinshan

Functional brain network (FBN) analysis based on fMRI has proven effective for neurological/mental disorder classification. Traditional methods usually separate the FBN construction from the subsequent classification tasks, resulting in a suboptimal solution. Recently, transformers, known for their attention mechanisms, have shown strong performance in various tasks, including brain disorder classification. However, existing methods treat subjects independently, limiting the capture of their shared patterns. To address these issues, we propose GSAformer, a group sparse attention-based model for brain disorder diagnosis. Specifically, we first construct brain connectivity matrices for subjects using Pearson's correlation, and then incorporate group sparse prior into the transformer to explicitly model inter-subject relationships. Group sparsity is applied across attention matrices to reduce parameters, improve the generalization, and enhance the interpretability. A maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) constraint is also introduced to ensure consistency between the learned attention matrices and the group sparse brain networks. Our framework integrates population-level prior knowledge, and supports end-to-end adaptive learning, while maintaining computational complexity on par with the standard Transformer and demonstrating enhanced capability in capturing group sparse topological structures among population. We evaluate the GSAformer on three public datasets for brain disorder classification. The classification performance of the proposed method is improved by 3.8%, 4.1% and 14.7% on the three datasets, respectively, compared with the standard Transformer.
