Sorption and desorption play an important role in the transport and the fate of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in soil. In order to examine influences of different soil compositions on PCE sorption-desorption, equilibrium batch experiments were carried out using four sorbents (natural soil with 2.23% total organic carbon (TOC), H2O2-treated soil, 375 degrees C-treated soil and 600 degrees C-treated soil) with different initial PCE liquid concentrations (c0). The effects of main parameters (TOC, soft carbon, hard carbon, minerals, c0) on PCE sorption-desorption were investigated. At 16 degrees C, when c0 was increased from 5 to 80 mg x L(-1), the results showed that sorption and desorption isotherms of PCE on four sorbents can be best described by the Freundlich model (r2 > 0.96). The sorption contribution rate of SOM was higher than 60% in natural soil, and hard carbon was the main influencing factor,while the desorption contribution rate of SOM was close to that of minerals in natural soil, and soft carbon accounted for more than 80% in the total desorption contribution rate of SOM. In addition, the higher the c0, the higher the sorption contribution rate of PCE in hard carbon and desorption contribution rate of PCE in soft carbon and minerals were. Moreover, desorption of PCE from four sorbents exhibited hysteresis, and hard carbon played a remarkable role in the hysteresis of natural soil.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation programs are planned to reduce the physiological and psychological stress of Cardiovascular Disease, decrease the risk of mortality secondary to CVD, improve cardiovascular function, and help patients to achieve their highest quality of life. However, data on the safety and efficacy of exercise training (ET) in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) is sparse. Exercise interventions in those with an ICD have not been extensively studied.

Manganese dioxide (MnO) is a well-known pseudocapacitive material that has been extensively studied and highly regarded, especially in supercapacitors, due to its remarkable surface redox behavior, leading to a high specific capacitance. However, its full potential is impeded by inherent characteristics such as its low electrical conductivity, dense morphology, and hindered ionic diffusion, resulting in limited rate capability in supercapacitors. Addressing this issue often requires complicated strategies and procedures, such as designing sophisticated composite architectures.

Low noise and high repetition rate optical frequency combs are desirable for many applications, from timekeeping to precision spectroscopy. For example, gigahertz repetition rate sources greatly increase the acquisition speed of spectra in a dual-comb modality when compared to lower repetition rate sources, while still maintaining sufficient instantaneous resolution to resolve ro-vibrational signatures from molecules in a variety of conditions. In this paper, we present the stabilization and characterization of a turnkey commercial 1 GHz mode-locked laser that operates at telecom wavelengths (1.
