Based on the collected activity data and emission factors of anthropogenic ammonia sources, a 2006-based anthropogenic ammonia emission inventory was developed for the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region by source categories and cities with the use of appropriate estimation methods. The results show: (1) the total NH3 emission from anthropogenic sources in the PRD region was 194. 8 kt; (2) the agriculture sources were major contributors of anthropogenic ammonia sources, in which livestock sources shared 62.1% of total NH3 emission and the contribution of application of nitrogen fertilizers was 21.7%; (3) the broiler was the largest contributor among the livestock sources, accounting for 43.4% of the livestock emissions, followed by the hog with a contribution of 32.1%; (4) Guangzhou was the largest ammonia emission city in the PRD region, and then Jiangmen, accounting for 23.4% and 19.1% of total NH3 emission in the PRD region respectively, with major sources as livestock sources and application of nitrogen fertilizers.

Misfolding of normal prion protein (PrP) to pathological isoforms (prions) causes prion diseases (PrDs) with clinical manifestations including cognitive decline and mood-related behavioral changes. Cognition and mood are linked to the neurophysiology of the limbic system. Little is known about how the disease affects the synaptic activity in brain parts associated with this system.

The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in southern China is a densely populated area and a hotspot for Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections. However, systematic research on this pathogen, particularly comparing clinical and environmental strains, remains limited. This study analyzed the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of 200 V.

Amidst the global consensus on green transformation and sustainable development, the digital economy has emerged as a pivotal catalyst for enhancing carbon emission efficiency. Analyzing panel data of 49 cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), and Pearl River Delta (PRD) from 2011 to 2022, this study explores the U-shaped journey of the digital economy towards green development. The rebound effect on energy consumption from early digital infrastructure investments delays the long-term benefits of digital applications in boosting carbon performance, and the thresholds of DE in BTH, YRD, and PRD regions are 0.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for effective therapeutic agents. The SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (M) plays a crucial role in viral replication and immune evasion, making it a key target for drug development. While several studies have explored M inhibition, identifying FDA-approved drugs with potential efficacy remains a critical research focus.

Based on Ozone (O) Monitoring Instrument satellite remoting sensing data and reanalysis meteorological data, an analysis was conducted on the spatiotemporal distribution and trends of tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) in Guangdong Province from 2015 to 2020. The study also examined the changing characteristics of O generation sensitivity in relation to meteorological parameters. The results indicated that during 2015-2020, the tropospheric NO column concentration in Guangdong Province exhibited a distribution pattern with the Pearl River Delta (PRD) Region as the high-value center gradually decreasing towards the surrounding areas, with the most substantial decline observed in the Pearl River Delta.
