Article Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) source profiles can be used for a number of purposes, such as creating speciated air pollutant emission inventories and providing inputs to receptor and air quality models. In this study, we first collected and schematically evaluated more than 500 Chinese domestic source profiles from literature and field measurements, and then established a most up-to-date dataset of VOCs source profiles in China by integrating 363 selective VOCs profiles into 101 sector-based source profiles. The profile dataset covers eight major source categories and contains 447 VOCs species including non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) species and oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs) species. The results shown that (1) VOCs composition characteristics exhibit variations for most Level-II source sectors and Level-III sub-sectors even under the same Level-I source category; (2) OVOCs, which were significantly missing in previous profiles, account for more than 95% in cooking and 20- 40% in non-road mobile, biomass burning and solvent use sources; (3) aromatics account for 20%-40% in most emission sources except cooking source, alkenes and alkynes account for ~20% in combustion sources (stationary combustion, mobile source and biomass burning), alkanes are abundant in gasoline-related emission sources(on-road mobile source and fuel oil storage and transportation); (4) missing OVOCs species could bring 30%-50% to ozone formation potentials in most emission sources; and (5) there are considerable differences in VOCs chemical groups and individual species for most emission sources between this dataset and the widely used U.S. SPECIATE database, indicating the importance of developing domestic VOCs source profiles. The dataset developed in this study can help support reactive VOCs species-based ozone control strategy and provide domestic profile data for source apportionment and air quality modeling in China and other countries or regions with similar emission source characteristics.

Modelling cardiovascular disease is at the forefront of efforts to use computational tools to assist in the analysis and forecasting of an individual's state of health. To build trust in such tools, it is crucial to understand how different approaches perform when applied to a nominally identical scenario, both singularly and across a population. To examine such differences, we have studied the flow in aneurysms located on the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery using the commercial solver Ansys CFX and the open-source code HemeLB.

We investigate the inspiral of a high mass-ratio black hole binary located in the nucleus of a galaxy, where the primary central black hole is surrounded by a dense dark matter spike formed through accretion during the black hole growth phase. Within this spike, dark matter undergoes strong self-annihilation, producing a compact source of γ-ray radiation that is highly sensitive to spike density, while the binary emits gravitational waves at frequencies detectable by LISA. As the inspiraling binary interacts with the surrounding dark matter particles, it alters the density of the spike, thereby influencing the γ-ray flux from dark matter annihilation.

Motivation: Drug repositioning presents a streamlined and cost-efficient way to expand the range of therapeutic possibilities. Drugs with human genetic evidence are more likely to advance successfully through clinical trials towards FDA approval. Single gene-based drug repositioning methods have been implemented, but approaches leveraging a broad spectrum of molecular signatures remain underexplored.

Fatal infections with the rare COUG strain of the zoonotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii were recently detected for the first time in four southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) exhibiting severe protozoal steatitis. The objectives of this study were to describe new COUG strain infections in sea otters, investigate the potential contributory role of a recently discovered parasite-infecting narnavirus (Apocryptovirus odysseus) in these infections, assess the potential contribution of vitamin E deficiency in the development of systemic steatitis, and explore the utility of serotyping for strain-specific diagnosis of T. gondii infections in sea otters.

Background: The river ecosystems provide habitats and source of water for a number of species including humans. The uncontrolled accumulation of pollutants in the aquatic environment enhances the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes.
Methods: Water samples were collected seasonally from different sites of Gomti and Ganga River.
