The current research examines the relationship between how people obtain prescription drugs (source of diversion) and how people misuse prescription drugs (i.e., frequency, abuse, and dependence). We analyzed data from the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health public use file, a sample of 68,736 persons aged 12 and older that is generalizable to the noninstitutionalized population of the United States. A number of regression models were estimated, and findings indicate that source of diversion was significantly correlated to frequency of prescription drug misuse, abuse, and dependence. Given these findings, we believe any attempt to classify prescription drug misusers based on certain characteristics should include source of diversion.

Large-scale water diversion projects are essential for meeting the needs of water-stressed regions, necessitating an evaluation of their impact on water quality and aquatic ecosystems. This study provides the first snapshots of organic micropollutants (OMPs) along the 1466 km Eastern Route of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Using nontarget analysis with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry, we identified and quantified 357 OMPs from water samples collected during the water diversion period (WDP) and the nonwater diversion period (NWDP).

Drought is a major abiotic stress in restricting the growth, development, and yield of maize. As a significant epigenetic regulator, small RNA also functions in connecting the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory network. Further to help comprehending the molecular mechanisms underlying drought adaptability and tolerance of maize, an integrated multi-omics analysis of transcriptome, sRNAome, and degradome was performed on the seedling roots of an elite hybrid Zhengdan958 under drought stress.

The Hirmand Transboundary River Basin (HTRB), shared by Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, is a hydrologically critical and politically sensitive region. This basin sustains livelihoods, ecosystems, and agriculture in a region plagued by climatic variability and geopolitical tensions. The Hirmand River, which forms the heart of this basin, faces severe morphological and discharge changes due to upstream water management, climatic shifts, and land use changes, directly impacting downstream ecosystems and human populations.

To alleviate water resource shortages and tensions and meet the water diversion needs of different river basins, buried (cross-dam) pipelines have become an essential component of water diversion projects. They are installed in levee projects in key river basins such as the Yellow River, Jingjiang River, and Beijiang River. Due to the complex engineering structure and multiple sources of vibration excitation, if vibrations propagate along the pipeline axis towards the surrounding levee, they could have an adverse impact on the stability and safe operation of the levee.

Reservoirs represent a critical component of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet the intricacies of how biotic and abiotic factors influence GHG dynamics within reservoirs remain largely unexplored. Herein, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of CO and NO emissions and the underlying factors in the Danjiangkou Reservoir, Asia's largest artificial freshwater reservoir. We found that this reservoir was a significant source of GHGs to the atmosphere, with peak CO emissions observed in autumn (1544.
