Research progress of the POP fugacity model: a bibliometrics-based analysis.

With the emergence of environmental issues regarding persistent organic pollutants (POPs), fugacity models have been widely used in the concentration prediction and exposure assessment of POPs. Based on 778 relevant research articles published between 1979 and 2020 in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), the current research progress of the fugacity model on predicting the fate and transportation of POPs in the environment was analyzed by CiteSpace software. The results showed that the research subject has low interdisciplinarity, mainly involving environmental science and environmental engineering.

[Source Analysis and Composition Characteristics of Water-soluble Ions During Spring Festival in Ningbo].

Water-soluble ions and some trace gases during the Spring Festival in Ningbo were observed using an ion online gas composition and aerosol monitoring system. Combined with meteorological elements data, the source analysis and composition characteristics of water-soluble ions and trace gases were analyzed. The average concentration of (PM) during the observation period was 33.

QTL mapping of the genetic basis of stem diameter in soybean.

QTL mapping of stem diameter was carried out in three RIL populations using a high-density genetic map, and candidate genes related to stem diameter were predicted. Stem diameter is an important agronomic trait affecting soybean lodging and productivity. However, this trait is underexploited, and the underlying genetic mechanism in soybean remains unclear.

Identifying the Pollution Characteristics of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Associated with Functional Districts in Ningbo, China.

Duplicate polyurethane foam based passive air samplers (PUF-PAS) were deployed at seven sites in Ningbo from November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2015 and were used to analyze 15 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Higher benzo[a]pyrene toxic equivalent concentrations were observed in the industrial areas during wintertime. Correspondence analysis (CA) was used to characterize the PAH congener profiles associated with each functional district and their temporal variations.

Hydroxyethyl starch resuscitation reduces the risk of intra-abdominal hypertension in severe acute pancreatitis.

Objectives: This study aimed to address whether hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is beneficial for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in early stages.

Methods: Forty-one patients with SAP were randomized to HES group (n = 20) and the Ringer's lactate (RL) group (n = 21). The groups received 6% HES 130/0.

Therapeutic effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and percutaneous injection of acetic acids on primary liver cancer.

Background: The resection rate of primary liver tumor in China is only about 20%. A lot of patients with moderate and advanced liver tumor may lose the chance of operation. The objective of present research was to study the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with percutaneous injection of chemical agents and acetic acids in the treatment of patients with primary liver cancer (PLC).
