The use of technology that uses organisms to synthesize metal nanoparticles is necessary to maintain a sustainable society. In this study, we investigated and screened the microorganisms isolated from environmental water by quantifying the reproducibility of synthetic Au nanoparticles and the ability of large amount synthesis. The microorganism (K-142) of the Bacillus genus showed the best activity in the investigation. K-142 can also synthesize Ag, CdS and PbS nanoparticles, and the deposition efficiency of Ag, Al, Cd, Cu, and Pb was about 64.8–99.2%. According to the observation results under the microscope after fluorescent staining, K-142 could survive after being treated with 0.5 mM metal solution for 24 h. Therefore, it is expected that K-142, which is easy to cultivate, would also have a high ability to reduce and deposit metal substances. K-142 can be applied to the concentration and recovery of heavy metals in environmental water, thereby opening up channels for biological water purification.

<p>In order to analyze the basic situation of China's foreign trade since the reform and opening up, this paper summarizes the basic situation of China's foreign trade in the 40 years of reform and opening up in 1980-2018 based on the data of the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS) and creates charts. The data observation results show that except for the trade deficit in the 1980s, China's economic surplus, total imports and total exports rose in a straight line in the past 40 years. The rise in the '00's and the' 10's was much smaller than that in the previous 20 years, but it also stabilized a lot, which was a steady growth. The reference data shows that this is a normal phenomenon. It was predicted that China's foreign trade would grow more steadily, which is closely related to the foreshadowing decision made by the country now. China will maintain its leading position in the world while maintaining its economic growth.</p>

<p>This article aims to illustrate the application of traditional snake ladder games in the learning process to preserve local cultural wisdom. This is motivated by the phenomenon of current student activity changes, which more often play modern games that are identical with the use of technology such as video games and online games. As a result, the traditional student games are beginning to be forgotten and become alien among the students. In addition, the level of addiction to the modern game on the students is also high so it affects the habits and behavior of students. As a cultural heritage containing noble values, the traditional game should be preserved And maintained its existence by introducing traditional games through the process of learning in the classroom. One of the traditional games that can be applied in the process of learning in the classroom is a snake ladder game. In this article the method used is the method of observation. Based on the observation results obtained that the traditional games can stimulate students in developing cooperation in groups in the learning process, , Interact as positively, can condition students in self-control, develop empathy for friends, obey the rules, and appreciate others. Thus, it is understood that traditional games can have an excellent impact in helping to develop students' emotional and social skills.</p>

Despite the considerable advances in molecular biology over the past several decades, the nature of the physical–chemical process by which inanimate matter become transformed into simplest life remains elusive. In this review, we describe recent advances in a relatively new area of chemistry, systems chemistry, which attempts to uncover the physical–chemical principles underlying that remarkable transformation. A significant development has been the discovery that within the space of chemical potentiality there exists a largely unexplored kinetic domain which could be termed dynamic kinetic chemistry. Our analysis suggests that all biological systems and associated sub-systems belong to this distinct domain, thereby facilitating the placement of biological systems within a coherent physical/chemical framework. That discovery offers new insights into the origin of life process, as well as opening the door toward the preparation of active materials able to self-heal, adapt to environmental changes, even communicate, mimicking what transpires routinely in the biological world. The road to simplest proto-life appears to be opening up.

Improve Access

Important initiatives in health care include (a) improving access to services for disadvantaged populations, (b) providing equal access for individuals with limited or non-English proficiency, and (c) ensuring cultural competence of health-care providers to facilitate effective services for individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Minority Health, 2001). This article provides a brief overview of the use of technology by speech-language pathologists and audiologists to extend their services to underserved populations who live in remote geographic areas, or when cultural and linguistic differences impact service delivery.

Abstract. Animates are better remembered than inanimates. According to the adaptive view of human memory ( Nairne, 2010 ; Nairne & Pandeirada, 2010a , 2010b ), this observation results from the fact that animates are more important for survival than inanimates. This ultimate explanation of animacy effects has to be complemented by proximate explanations. Moreover, animacy currently represents an uncontrolled word characteristic in most cognitive research ( VanArsdall, Nairne, Pandeirada, & Cogdill, 2015 ). In four studies, we therefore investigated the “how” of animacy effects. Study 1 revealed that words denoting animates were recalled better than those referring to inanimates in an intentional memory task. Study 2 revealed that adding a concurrent memory load when processing words for the animacy dimension did not impede the animacy effect on recall rates. Study 3A was an exact replication of Study 2 and Study 3B used a higher concurrent memory load. In these two follow-up studies, animacy effects on recall performance were again not altered by a concurrent memory load. Finally, Study 4 showed that using interactive imagery to encode animate and inanimate words did not alter the recall rate of animate words but did increase the recall of inanimate words. Taken together, the findings suggest that imagery processes contribute to these effects.
