To investigate soybean responses to drought stress and growth through metabolism compensation after rehydration, and for the establishment of an optimal water-saving irrigation model, we used the soybean variety Suinong 14 as experimental material and adopted a weighing method for water control in potted plants. We exposed soybean plants to stress treatments at different growth stages using different stress levels and durations. We then studied the effects of drought stress and rehydration on soybean growth and development, osmoregulation, and endogenous hormonal regulations, as well as antioxidant systems. The results showed that drought stress inhibited increases in the soybean plant height and leaf area. This inhibition became more significant as the level, duration, and frequency of the drought stress increased. After rehydration, the soybean plant heights and leaf areas exhibited rapid increases and partial compensation for their decreased sizes. As the level, duration, and frequency of drought stress increased, the compensation effect decreased, but it did not return to the control level. Drought stress reduced the chlorophyll content and relative water content in the soybean leaves and increased the osmolyte contents, antioxidant potential, and peroxidation of the membrane lipids. In addition, the changes mentioned above became more dramatic as the drought stress level, duration, and frequency increased. Upon rehydration, various levels of growth compensation were observed in each physio-biochemical parameter. As the drought stress level, duration, and frequency increased, the compensation effect also increased. Overall, the compensation effect for drought stress that occurred at the early growth stages was higher than that at the later growth stages. Drought stress led to decreases in the ZR/IAA and ZR/ABA ratios in soybean leaves and an increase in the ABA/(IAA + GA + ZR) ratio; thus, the plant growth was inhibited. These hormone ratios exhibited more dramatic changes when the drought stress level became more severe and the stress duration was prolonged. After rehydration, these hormone ratios produced equal compensation effects. Therefore, the compensatory effect of rewatering after drought stress is conditional. Severe stress, especially long-term severe stress, will reduce the compensatory effect. At the same time, drought resistance treatment at seedling stage can improve the adaptability and compensatory effect of re-drought at grain filling stage.

Using nickel electrode as dyeing electrode, sodium carbonate as fixing alkali and anodic region as dyeing region, cotton fabric was electrochemically dyed by reactive blue X-BR under external DC power supply. By comparing the dyeing rate, fixation rate, polarization curve and evenness of the two dyeing methods, it can be concluded that the electrochemical dyeing effect of nickel electrode on reactive dye cotton fabric is far better than that of traditional reactive dye dyeing method.

The delayed polymer crosslinking technique is used for profile control in deep fractured reservoirs with low permeability. Its mechanism, formulation and injection process have been researched for reservoirs with low permeability, low porosity, heterogeneity and both natural and artificial fractures. The weak gel has a dual function for both profile control and polymer flooding. It is an effective method for improving the flooding efficiency of fractured reservoirs with low permeability and low yield. P. 169

Graphene has excellent electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties and has been widely applied in materials science, biomedicine, physics, energy storage, chemistry, and textile fields all over the world. In this paper, graphene conductive fabrics were prepared by the impregnation method, and ascorbic acid was used as a reducing agent. Ammonia-cotton blended fabric was used as the base material. Results indicated that graphene had been successfully covered on fabrics according to XRD and SEM analysis. The optimum technological parameters for preparing graphene conductive fabrics were: impregnation five times, reduction temperature at 95 °C, the ascorbic acid concentration of 0.06 mol/L, and the reduction time was 40 min. A corrosion study indicated that rGO fabrics could be partly corroded in 3 wt.% NaCl solution, leading to a decrease in resistivity. However, the conductive ability of rGO fabric changed little with time due to the good stability of rGO.

The development of environmentally friendly, multifunctional conductive membranes is an ideal candidate for future new electronic components. Some cellulose-based electronic sensors have been studied, such as pressure sensors, hydrothermal sensors, flexible sensors, optoelectronic devices, and electrochemical energy storage, etc. However, there are very few studies on cellulose-based conductive materials in Joule heating. In this study, we adopted a simple and environmentally friendly silane crosslinking method to crosslink cellulose and graphene oxide (GO) together. The cellulose/GO hybrid membrane were characterized by FTIR, Raman, SEM, AFM, TGA, surface wettability, self-cleaning, surface resistance, Joule heating and other tests. Results showed that the covalent bond between cellulose and GO was formed by vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS), and GO was successfully cross-linked on the surface of the cellulose membrane. The cellulose/GO hybrid membrane has good thermal stability, strong hydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties. When the GO concentration was 3 w/w%, the Young's modulus of the film reached the maximum (47.38% higher than that of the original sample). In addition, it also exhibited extremely low surface resistivity (720.69 Ω), controllable Joule heating capability, extremely fast thermal response (heating process and cooling process within 5 s) and good electrothermal stability. It showed great potential in multi-functional electronic products such as electric heating electronic devices, electric heating sensors, and smart clothing in the future.
