In 62 patients undergoing femorodistal bypass surgery, the foot vessel runoff was analyzed with a new grading system based on intraoperative postreconstruction serial angiography. The patients were divided into two groups according to the level of the distal anastomosis (proximal or low). Good runoff was defined as integrity of the anterior and/or posterior foot arch in proximal femorodistal grafts and integrity of both arches in low bypasses. In the proximal group, runoff was classified as poor when the arches were deficient or occluded, and in the low group, when only one arch was intact. The patency rate after 6 months was 81% in the good runoff group, whereas all grafts in patients with poor runoff were occluded. The new method allowed better prediction of the early outcome than does the primary and secondary pedal arch integrity concept.

Pesticide Residues, Glyphosate Adsorption and Degradation Characteristics in Ethiopian Agricultural Soils.

Department of Environment and Climate Change, Ethiopian Civil Service University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Background: The decline in wheat output in Ethiopia is widely attributed to pests, which has led to a rise in the usage of pesticides to boost productivity. The degree of pesticides sorption and degradation which influence the likelihood of environmental contamination from pesticides seeping into water bodies from soil has not yet been published for Ethiopian soils. The study aimed at to quantify the levels of pesticide residues, assess glyphosate's adsorption capabilities and degradation rate in the soils.

We studied the characteristics of plankton community and its response to water environmental factors at the early stage of COVID-19 outbreak (2019-2020) in the Tianjin coastal waters of Bohai Bay. The water quality showed a good trend during this period, due to the reduction of pollution brought by the runoff rivers and water exchange driven by the circulation. In the survey area, 68 species of diatomata and dinoflagellata phytoplankton were found, where diatomata was the dominant population.

Simple models can help reduce nitrogen (N) loss from land and protect water quality. However, the complexity of primary production systems may impair the accuracy of simple models. A tool was developed that assessed the risk of N loss as the product of N source inputs and relative transport by leaching and runoff.

Article Synopsis
- The winter planting of green manure (GM) in South China is used to cut chemical nitrogen fertilizer use, enhance soil fertility, and sustain rice yields, but its impact on nitrogen runoff is not fully understood.
- A study combines field experiments and modeling to evaluate the effects of different GM practices and reduced nitrogen fertilizer on nitrogen runoff in paddy fields along the Yangtze River.
- Results show that GM significantly decreases total nitrogen runoff loss, particularly dissolved inorganic nitrogen, with reductions varying by rainfall conditions, and the model used proved reliable for assessing water consumption and nitrogen runoff in these systems.

The work presented here marks a further advance in expert uncertainty quantification. In a recent probabilistic evaluation of ice sheet process contributions to sea level rise, tail dependence was elicited and propagated through an uncertainty analysis for the first time. The elicited correlations and tail dependencies concerned pairings of three processes: Accumulation, Discharge and Run-off, which operate on major ice sheets in the West and East Antarctic and in Greenland.
