Abstract

Synthetic hormones in wastewater effluents released into the aquatic environments may interfere with the normal endocrine systems of fish in receiving streams. Norgestrel (NGT) is a synthetic progestin widely used in oral contraceptives and frequently detected in wastewater effluents. In this study, adult female mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) were exposed to three environmentally relevant concentrations of norgestrel (NGT) (i.e., 3.6, 35.8, and 368.0 ng L-1) for 42 d, fin morphology, histology of the ovary, and reproductive behaviors were evaluated. The results showed that NGT at all three concentrations caused an increased frequency of atretic follicular cells in ovaries and impaired mating behaviors exhibited by males toward the NGT-exposed females. In mosquitofish exposed to NGT at 35.8 and 368 ng L-1, the anal fin of females had an increased length ratio of ray4/ray 6, an increased width of ray 3, and increased number of segments in ray 3. The histopathological analysis showed that exposure to NGT increased the incidence of spermatogenesis in ovaries. Mating behavior was impaired 58.4%, 65.7%, and 76.4% (P

Abstract

Amorphous manganese oxides (a-MnOx) are widely considered promising material systems to fabricate cathodes for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). However, the Zn-storage mechanism of a-MnOx is still not understood, and its electrochemical performance is inadequate. Herein, we report porous reduced graphene oxide boosted a-MnOx microspheres (denoted as PrGO–MnOx) as a cathode material for AZIBs. Its electrochemical Zn-storage mechanism was elucidated via a series of ex situ measurements. Particularly, we observe that the a-MnOx phase in PrGO–MnOx is transformed into highly active and stable amorphous Zn-buserite during the initial cycles, effectively promoting Zn-storage. The cathode material can deliver a large capacity (296 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g−1), high-rate capability (151 mA h g−1 at 2.5 A g−1), and ultra-long lifespan (5000 cycles at 5.0 A g−1). We attribute this performance to several properties, including (i) the amorphous structure of Zn-buserite with high activity and stability, (ii) fast reaction kinetics, (iii) increased electron conductivity, (iv) improved Zn2+ diffusion rate, and (v) high pseudocapacitance. We also assembled a PrGO–MnOx‖AQ (9,10-anthraquinone) full-battery, which possesses a high discharge plateau (0.8 V) and impressive cycling stability (106 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles at 0.3 A g−1), indicating good potential towards practical applications.

Abstract

COVID-19 affected the economies of both developed and developing countries through multiple channels. However, the impact of this pandemic was also not so different in the development world too. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the natural resources’ rents such as oil, natural gas and energy rents on the economic performance of G7 economies from 1990 to 2020. This study uses updated panel data methods to identify the effect of COVID-19 by using novel diagnostic and unit root methods. The study found that during the COVID-19 and post pandemic, economic performance has been declined. This study found that natural resources rent, including oil and gas, help to improve the economic performance. Further, structural break for the year 2019 caused by COVID-19 also slowed down the economic performance of G7 economies. This study suggests more stabilization policies towards natural resources commodity prices and encouragement of active role from the G7 countries. This study further provides relevant policy implications in the concluding section for the selected group of countries.
