Article Abstract

Based on laboratory studies and field observations, a new parameterization of uptake coefficients for heterogeneous reactions on multi-component aerosols is developed in this work. The equivalent ratio (ER) of inorganic aerosol is used to establish the quantitative relationship between the heterogeneous uptake coefficients and the composition of aerosols. Incorporating the new ER-dependent scheme, the WRF-CUACE model has been applied to simulate sulfate mass concentrations during December 2017 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and evaluate the role of aerosol chemical components played in the sulfate formation. Simulated temporal variations and magnitudes of sulfate show good agreement with the observations by using this new scheme. From clean to polluted cases, although both dominant cations and anions increase significantly, the equivalent ratio decreases gradually and is closer to unity, representing the variation of aerosol compositions, which inhibits the heterogeneous uptake of SO, with the uptake coefficient decreasing from 1 × 10 to 5.3 × 10. Based on this phenomenon, a self-limitation process for heterogeneous reactions with the increasing secondary inorganic aerosol from clean to polluted cases is proposed.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a well-established near-infrared dye which has been used clinically for several decades. Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera.

The widespread coexistence of chiral herbicides and heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soils poses significant ecological risks to crop safety, yet their combined ecotoxicological effects are not well understood. This study systematically investigated the enantiomer-specific effects of napropamide (R/S-NAP) on plant HMs accumulation. Results showed that S-NAP application reduced plant biomass and HMs accumulation, while R-NAP exhibited distinct effects, increasing root biomass and HMs accumulation in roots.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, whether [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR imaging biomarkers can predict the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer was investigated.

Methods: Fifty-one patients who underwent [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR scans before first-line chemotherapy were recruited. Imaging biomarkers, including the maximum tumor diameter, minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), maximum and mean standardized uptake values (SUV and SUV), fibroblast activation protein- (FAP-) positive tumor volume (FTV and W-FTV) and total lesion FAP expression (TLF and W-TLF), were recorded for primary and whole-body tumors.

Hydrogen energy is pivotal for driving sustainable development and achieving deep decarbonization; yet, its storage remains a significant challenge. Notably, depleted methane reservoirs can serve as a promising large-scale solution for underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Based on adsorption experiments, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods, the adsorption behavior of H and CH in anthracite and the applicability of five models were discussed.

Correlations Between Textural Properties of Potato Chips and Diffusion Coefficients of Frying Oils.

In this study, potato slices were fried in four different vegetable oils (corn, olive, palm olein, and sunflower) to investigate how oil type influences the characteristics of potato chips. The diffusion coefficient of oils was attempted to be correlated with the final moisture, oil uptake, and textural parameters of potato chips. The diffusion coefficients were determined using two approaches.
