The chemical processes that occur during sequential extraction of a highly Pb-contaminated soil sample were investigated using XAFS spectroscopy for the identification of the Pb species in the solid residues after each step. The sequential extraction was performed following the procedure described by Salomons and Förstner. It was found that during the sequential extraction serious alteration of the chemical binding forms of the Pb occurs. The most important processes underlying the chemical changes are the re-adsorption of solubilized Pb ions by soil matrix components and the precipitation of insoluble Pb species with anions from the extractant.

Understanding the nuanced emotions and points of view included in user-generated content remains challenging, even though text data analysis for mental health is a crucial instrument for assessing emotional well-being. Most current models neglect the significance of integrating viewpoints in comprehending mental health in favor of single-task learning. To offer a more thorough knowledge of mental health, in this study, we present an Opinion-Enhanced Hybrid BERT Model (Opinion-BERT), built to handle multi-task learning for simultaneous sentiment and status categorization.

Purpose: We present a semi-automated analysis of 21 years of R-type National Cancer Institute (NCI) grants to departments of radiation oncology and radiology using natural language processing (NLP).
Methods: We selected all non-education R-type NCI grants from 2000 to 2020 awarded to departments of radiation oncology/radiology with affiliated schools of medicine.
Mathematical modeling of somatic evolution, a process impacting both host cells and microbial communities in the human body, can capture important dynamics driving carcinogenesis. Here we considered models for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a cancer that has dramatically increased in incidence over the past few decades in Western populations, with high case fatality rates due to late-stage diagnoses. Despite advancements in genomic analyses of the precursor Barrett's esophagus (BE), prevention of late-stage EAC remains a significant clinical challenge.
