Jonas, 1844 is of great commercial interest, but its reserves have dramatically declined over recent decades. Therefore, there is an urgent need of scientific basis to propose effective fishery management measures and improve artificial aquaculture of the clam. In this study, we investigated the distribution and density of , sediment characteristics, and established the clam's reproductive cycle through monthly observations from August 2017 to July 2018. The study results showed that distribution and density of clams are related to sediment types, and the sediment type of medium sand is likely the best benthic substrate for the clams. The spawning of clams occurred throughout the year with three spawning peaks in January, April and September. For the sustainable management of the clam resource in Cat Ba-Ha Long Bay, the fishery authorities can issue a ban on harvest of the clam in spawning peak months in January, April and September.

Background: The collection of substantial amounts of electroencephalogram (EEG) data is typically time-consuming and labor-intensive, which adversely impacts the development of decoding models with strong generalizability, particularly when the available data is limited. Utilizing sufficient EEG data from other subjects to aid in modeling the target subject presents a potential solution, commonly referred to as domain adaptation. Most current domain adaptation techniques for EEG decoding primarily focus on learning shared feature representations through domain alignment strategies.

The effective implementation of domestic and international safeguards necessitates verification techniques for Nuclear Materials (NM). Even in the case of very small quantities of NMs, accounting for and analyzing such traces can provide insights into the mass balance of NMs and/or state activities, ensuring consistency in state declarations. This paper proposes and benchmarks an absolute calibration methodology for estimating the uranium-mass content in large-volume barrels (200 L).

Given the limited research on pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River (WYR), this work investigated the distribution of 15 PPCPs in this region, assessed their ecological risks and annual fluxes. It was further to analyze the levels of indicator sucralose in the WYR to understand the sources of PPCPs. The results showed the average concentrations were 143.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs), especially zinc- and iron-based materials, are known to be one of the most innovative anode materials based on their high theoretical capacity, low price and abundant natural reserves. However, the application of these materials is limited by poor electronic conductivity, slow ion mobility and large structural transformations during charging/discharging processes. To overcome these drawbacks, sacrificial template technology has been proposed as a promising strategy to optimize the electrochemical performance and structure stability of TMOs, showing its potential especially in the storage design of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Ships generate large amounts of air pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide (NO) that profoundly impacts air quality and poses serious threats to human health. It is crucial to understand the dynamics and drivers of ship-induced NO concentrations in China to support the prevention and control of fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O) pollution. This study built Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) to reveal the nonlinear effects of meteorological factors and ship emissions on ship-induced NO concentrations based on the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) satellite data, AIS based emission model and meteorological data.
