Risk assessment of non-point source pollution in tropical watersheds considering water functional zones by Shiyu Xue, Yanhu He, Hao Cai, Jun Li, Lirong Zhu, Changqing Ye

“…In terms of spatial distribution, the high-load areas of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) from NPS are primarily concentrated in downstream regions characterized by extensive agricultural land and orchards. In terms of temporal distribution, the risk of NPS pollution from ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), TN, and TP increased by 26.68%, 58.70%, and 21.05%, respectively, during the wet season (May − October) compared to the dry season (November − April). …”

Abnormal dynamic features of cortical microstates for detecting early-stage Parkinson's disease by resting-state electroencephalography: Systematic analysis of the influence of eye... by G. Gimenez-Aparisi, E. Guijarro-Estelles, A. Chornet-Lurbe, D. Cerveró-Albert, Dongmei Hao, Guangfei Li, Y. Ye-Lin

“…In many neuropathologies, microstate analysis of the eyes-closed (EC) scalp EEG is a robust and highly reproducible technique for assessing topological changes with high temporal resolution. However, scalp EEG microstate maps tend to underestimate the non-occipital or non-alpha-band networks, which can also be used to detect neuropathological changes. …”

Tracking pygmy blue whale diving behaviour and validation of foraging areas defined from horizontal movement data by Michele Thums, Luciana C. Ferreira, Andrew Davenport, Micheline Jenner, Luciana Möller, Grace Russell, Robert D. McCauley, Curt Jenner

“…The depth time series allowed us to distinguish foraging dives, with accelerometry data key to distinguishing lunge-feeding. Despite a weak temporal relationship between putative (inferred from a movement model) and actual foraging, there was generally good spatial overlap detected, predominantly in high use areas, while more opportunistic foraging areas with lower use were less likely to be detected by the model. …”

“…The results from the fusion model showed that the majority of secondary aerosols (sum of secondary aerosol-related species = 2.67 µg m−3) within three hours were mainly contributed by oil combustion, while the largest contributor of secondary aerosols (1.65 µg m−3) over 24 hours was industry, highlighting the need for regulation of these two sources based on various temporal scales. The developed fusion strategy of two-stage PMF and robust regression provided refined results and can aid in the management of PM2.5.…”
