Effects of Cyclic Aeration Subsurface Drip Irrigation on Greenhouse Tomato Quality and Water and Fertilizer Use Efficiency.

Tomato (Jinglu 6335) was selected for assessing the impact of varying fertilizer (F:N-PO-KO) and aeration rates on crop quality, as well as water and fertilizer utilization efficiency during the cyclic aeration subsurface drip irrigation process. Four aeration treatments (O1, O2, O3, and S, representing aeration ratios of 16.25%, 14.

Winter-spring droughts exacerbated PM-O compound pollution? Evidence from China.

With the impact of global climate change, drought events are becoming more frequent, making it critically important to quantitatively evaluate the effects of these events on air pollution. This study uses the augmented synthetic control method and the mediation effect model to quantitatively evaluate the impact effect of the winter-spring drought of 2023 on PM-O compound pollution and its driving factors with Chinese prefecture-level city data. This study indicates that: firstly, compared to non-drought periods, both the monthly averaged and diurnal variations pattern of PM and O significantly increased during drought periods.

Salt stress affects the bacterial communities in rhizosphere soil of rice.

Salt is a primary factor limiting the utilization of saline lands in coastal beach areas, with rhizosphere microorganisms playing a crucial role in enhancing crop stress resistance and exhibiting high sensitivity to environmental changes. Rice ( L.) is the preferred crop for reclaiming salinized soils.

Developing nurse and midwife centred rostering principles using co-design: a mixed-methods study.

Background: Current nursing and midwifery rosters are based on guidelines which may no longer adequately meet the needs of health services or staff and often result in decreased job satisfaction, poor health and wellbeing, and high turnover. Little is known about the rostering needs and preferences of contemporary nurses and midwives in Australia. The aim of this study was to identify the rostering concerns, needs and preferences of nurses and midwives, and co-design acceptable, equitable and feasible rostering principles.

Visual and fluorescence dual mode platform for sensitive and accurate screening of breast carcinoma.

Compared to single-mode detection, dual-mode sensing strategies have garnered increasing attention from researchers due to their superior detection accuracy and reliability. Exosomes, as non-invasive biomarkers, hold significant potential for disease diagnosis. However, sensitive and precise detection of exosomes still presents considerable technical challenges.
