Seasonal and spatial variations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen exchange between the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea and the influencing factors.

Nutrient exchange with the East China Sea plays an important role in primary production in the Yellow Sea. Owing to lack of simultaneous observations, the spatiotemporal nutrient exchanges across the boundary between the Yellow Sea and East China Sea (Section YE) remain unclear. In this study, a three-dimensional physical-biogeochemical coupled model was used to determine the flux of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) across Section YE.

Study on load allocation of land-based total nitrogen in the Bohai Sea.

Total nitrogen (TN) is one of the terrigenous pollutants in the Bohai Sea. A reasonable releasing scheme can effectively improve the seawater quality. Based on the observed TN concentrations and the national pollution control requirements, the TN load ratios of four major rivers around the Bohai Sea are adjusted in multiple levels within the range of 50 %-200 % in the frame of total control.

Development of Microspheres Based on Thiol-Modified Sodium Alginate for Intestinal-Targeted Drug Delivery.

Bioactive peptide drugs are mostly delivered by parenteral administration, which brings great pain and risks to patients. Oral administration is an acceptable alternative form. However, peptide drugs are extremely sensitive to the strong acidic environment in the stomach after oral administration.
