This study aims to provide a quantitative basis for the precision emission reduction of land-based total nitrogen (TN) pollutants in Qingdao, China. The total maximum allocated load (TMAL) of TN pollutants within jurisdictions in Qingdao was calculated by using a 3D hydrodynamic-water quality model and a linear programming model. The TMAL includes emission TMAL, point-source and nonpoint source TMAL, TMAL removed by municipal sewage treatment system (MSTS), and soil-retained and water-retained TMAL, which were calculated after the division of source units, establishment of the land-based TN load matrix, simulation of the concentration response matrix, setting of a dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentration control standard in the Qingdao coastal area, and calculation of TMAL. In the reliability analysis, a concentration under TMAL was considered to indicate satisfactory water quality criteria (relative standard deviation = 17%, Kappa = 0.55). The results showed that the emission TMAL density of nitrogen pollutants in source units was 1.8 ton/km/a. Nonpoint and point source-produced TMAL densities were 17.0 ton/km/a and 5.2 ton/km/a, respectively. MSTS-removed TMAL density was 12.2 ton/km/a. Soil- and water-retained TMAL were 4.0 ton/km/a and 0.7 ton/km/a, respectively. The summed F proportions of 10 districts were, in descending order, Huangdao (22%), Laoshan (21%), Jimo (18%), Shibei (13%), Licang (7%), Pingdu (7%), Jiaozhou (4%), Shinan (3%), Laixi (3%) and Chengyan (2%).

Developing efficient catalysts for electrochemical CO reduction reaction (ECORR) to hydrocarbons is becoming increasingly important but still challenging due to their high overpotential and poor selectivity. Here, the famous Heusler alloys are investigated as ECORR catalysts for the first time by means of density functional theory calculations. The linear scaling relationship between the adsorption energies of CHO (and COOH) and CO intermediates is broken and, thus, the overpotential can be tuned regularly by chemically permuting different 3d, 4d, or 5d transition metals (TMs) in Heusler alloy CuTMAl.

Despite the long history of research in transition metal (TM) complexes, the study of TM-aluminyl complexes is still in its early stage of development. It is expected that the presence of an electropositive Al donor atom would open up new possibilities in TM complex reactivity, and indeed TM-aluminyl has shown an early sign of success in small-molecule activation. On the other hand, the existing reports on TM-aluminyl reactivity are often explained to readers with different understanding on individual cases, and a general picture of TM-aluminyl reactivity is still not available.

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in anticoagulation exist in atrial fibrillation management in Medicare and the Veterans Health Administration, but the influence of dual Veterans Health Administration and Medicare enrollment is unclear. We compared anticoagulant initiation by race and ethnicity in dually enrolled patients and assessed the role of Medicare part D enrollment on anticoagulation disparities.
Methods: We identified patients with incident atrial fibrillation (2014-2018) dually enrolled in Veterans Health Administration and Medicare.

Background: Haplotypes combine the effects of several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with high linkage disequilibrium, which benefit the genome-wide association analysis (GWAS). In the haplotype association analysis, both haplotype alleles and blocks are tested. Haplotype alleles can be inferred with the same statistics as SNPs in the linear mixed model, while blocks require the formulation of unified statistics to fit different genetic units, such as SNPs, haplotypes, and copy number variations.
