Analysis of spatial and temporal variations of vegetation NPP and TWS in the Yangtze River Basin.

Net primary productivity (NPP) is an important parameter reflecting vegetation growth, and water is one of the necessary factors for vegetation growth. Investigating the mutual influence between NPP and water is significant for ensuring the stable development of the ecological environment. This study focuses on the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) as the research area, and based on medium-resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS) data, climate data, and gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) data, the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of vegetation NPP and terrestrial water storage (TWS) in the YRB from 2000 to 2022 are explored and analyzes the mutual influence of NPP with climate factors and TWS.

Rationalized Electroepitaxy toward Scalable Single-Crystal Zn Anodes.

Electroepitaxy is recognized as an effective approach to prepare metal electrodes with nearly complete reversibility. Nevertheless, large-scale manipulation is still not attainable owing to complicated interfacial chemistry. Here, the feasibility of extending Zn electroepitaxy toward the bulk phase over a mass-produced mono-oriented Cu(111) foil is demonstrated.

Effect of Soil Solution Properties and Cu Co-Existence on the Adsorption of Sulfadiazine onto Paddy Soil.

Paddy soils are globally distributed and saturated with water long term, which is different from most terrestrial ecosystems. To better understand the environmental risks of antibiotics in paddy soils, this study chose sulfadiazine (SDZ) as a typical antibiotic. We investigated its adsorption behavior and the influence of soil solution properties, such as pH conditions, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), ionic concentrations (IC), and the co-existence of Cu.

[Quality of malaria blood smears from fever patients in Zibo City, Shandong Province from 2011 to 2018].

Objective: To analyze the quality of malaria blood smears from fever patients in Zibo City from 2011 to 2018, so as to provide the scientific evidence for the development of the malaria post-elimination surveillance strategy.

Methods: All negative malaria blood smears from fever patients reexamined in the municipal microscopic examination station and all positive blood smears in Zibo City during the period from 2011 to 2018 were reexamined, and the blood smear preparation, dyeing, cleanliness and reexamination results were analyzed.

Results: A total of 2 141 negative malaria blood smears and 39 positive blood smears were re-reviewed by the municipal microscopic examination station of Zibo City from 2011 to 2018, with a 99.

Vertical bearing capacity of a pile-liquefiable sandy soil foundation under horizontal seismic force.

In this study, research on a pile group system was conducted using shaking table tests under four working conditions: a natural foundation and pile-spacing conditions of 3D, 3.5D, and 4D (D is the diameter of the pile). The time histories of the excess pore pressure ratio and settlement were analyzed.

Enteral nutrition feeding in Chinese intensive care units: a cross-sectional study involving 116 hospitals.

Background: There is a lack of large-scale epidemiological data on the clinical practice of enteral nutrition (EN) feeding in China. This study aimed to provide such data on Chinese hospitals and to investigate factors associated with EN delivery.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was launched in 118 intensive care units (ICUs) of 116 mainland hospitals and conducted on April 26, 2017.

Design rules of heteroatom-doped graphene to achieve high performance lithium-sulfur batteries: Both strong anchoring and catalysing based on first principles calculation.

A number of observations have been reported on chemical capture and catalysis of anchoring materials for lithium-sulfur batteries. Here, we propose the design principles for the chemical functioned graphene as an anchor material to realize both strong chemical trapping and catalysis. Through the first principle, the periodic law is calculated from the theory.
