Based on the ground-based observations from seven atmospheric background stations during 2009 to 2018 in monsoon Asia (including BKT station in Indonesia, LLN and WLG stations in China, RYO and YON stations in Japan, TAP station in Republic of Korea, and UUM station in Mongolia), we analyzed the temporal and spatial variation of atmospheric CH concentration and its driving factors using harmonic model and maximal information-based nonparametric exploration. The results showed that the CH concentration in monsoon Asia varied from 1853.04 to 1935.61 nmol·mol, higher than that in Mauna Loa (MLO) station (1838.33 nmol·mol) in Hawaii, USA. The CH concentration decreased from north to south, with the highest value in TAP station (1935.61 nmol·mol) in Republic of Korea and RYO station (1907.19 nmol·mol) in Japan. The average seasonal amplitude at YON station in Japan was the largest (108.20 nmol·mol); while that at WLG station in China was the smallest (29.48 nmol·mol). The seasonal amplitude of TAP station in Republic of Korea changed faster at the rate of 4.49 nmol·mol·a. Except for WLG and TAP stations, CH concentrations were low in summer and high in winter. From the long-term perspective, the CH concentration at LLN (7.68 nmol·mol·a) and WLG (7.56 nmol·mol·a) stations in China exhibited the most obvious growth trend. Compared with wind speed, temperature and precipitation had greater impact on CH concentration, which were negatively associated with CH concentration. Local CH emission at some stations had a significant positive effect on CH concentration.

Background: As part of the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile handwashing stations (mHWS) were deployed in healthcare facilities in low-resource settings. We assessed mHWS in hospitals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for contamination with Gram-negative bacteria.
Methods: Water and soap samples of in-use mHWS in hospitals in Kinshasa and Lubumbashi were quantitatively cultured for Gram-negative bacteria which were tested for antibiotic susceptibility.

In this study, a combined system of anaerobic-oxic-anoxic-oxic, coagulation and adsorption (AOAOCA) was used to treat the real waste transfer station (WTS) wastewater. The effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT), sludge reflux ratio (SRR), mixed liquid reflux ratio (MLRR), coagulant and zeolite on the contaminants removal efficiency were investigated. When the AOAOCA system was operated at the optimal conditions (HRT of 8 d, SRR of 70%, MLRR of 200%, PAFC as coagulant with dosage of 750 ppm and 1-3 mm zeolite with filling rate of 60%), the effluent COD, NH-N and TP could reach 82.

Salinity inhibits the uptake of nitrogen, which slows down the growth and prevents plant reproduction. Certain ions, especially chloride, are poisonous to plants; when their concentration increases, the plant becomes poisoned and eventually perishes. The adaptability of several table beet cultivars ( L.

Article Synopsis
- - Guar, a plant domesticated in India and Pakistan, produces seeds containing valuable galactomannan gum used in various industries, yet its genetic diversity is not well-explored.
- - Researchers analyzed 225 guar accessions using 7000 SNP markers, revealing three major genetic clusters and a strong correlation between genetic diversity and geographic origins, particularly from India.
- - Findings suggest that some underutilized subpopulations (Q2 and Q3) may hold potential for enhancing breeding programs in the U.S. by introducing beneficial traits into guar germplasm.

Chlorine, commonly found in pools and tap water, presents an intriguing concern in forensic hair analysis due to its sources and composition. Current forensic analysis involves optical microscopy which is subjected to advanced training where even multiple experts can deliver opposing conclusions for the same hair sample. Despite challenges in traditional analysis methods, emerging techniques like surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) offer promising solutions, showcasing success even in harsh environments like prolonged sunlight or stagnant water immersion.
