Systematic evaluation of plant metals/metalloids accumulation efficiency: a global synthesis of bioaccumulation and translocation factors by Wenbin Huang, Wenbin Huang, Chengnian Zhang, Bowei Zhu, Xiaoying Liu, Huxuan Xiao, Huxuan Xiao, Shibin Liu, Shibin Liu, Shibin Liu, Huaiyong Shao

“…As soil pH increases, the BF of Cd and Zinc (Zn) decrease, whereas the BF of lead (Pb) increases, likely due to their distinct chemical behaviors under different pH conditions. Threshold concentrations were also identified for several for metals/metalloids (e.g., Cd: 214.8 mg kg-1; Pb: 31352.3 mg kg-1), beyond which BF falls below 1.0, indicating diminished accumulation efficiency due to toxicity constraints. …”

Influence of Environment Conditions on Ultrasonic and Electrostatic Precipitation of Aerosols of Wood Flour by Maria Yur'evna STEPKINA, Olga Borisovna KUDRYASHOVA, Alexandra Alexandrovna ANTONNIKOVA

“…The risk of human exposure to finely-dispersed aerosol particles being airborne indoors is determined by the size and the number concentration of particles, the intensity of an aerosol emission source, the air filtration and ventilation efficiency, etc. The emphasis in this article is on behaviour patterns of aerosol particles when exposed to ultrasonic and electrostatic fields in different conditions of air temperature and relative humidity. …”

The relations between sleep, time of physical activity, and time outdoors among adult women. by Kate Murray, Suneeta Godbole, Loki Natarajan, Kelsie Full, J Aaron Hipp, Karen Glanz, Jonathan Mitchell, Francine Laden, Peter James, Mirja Quante, Jacqueline Kerr

“…There was a significant interaction (p = 0.04) between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and time spent outdoors in predicting total sleep time but not for predicting sleep efficiency. Increasing time outdoors in the afternoon (versus morning) predicted lower sleep efficiency, but had no effect on total sleep time. …”

Evaluation of genetic algorithm alternatives for wind speed modeling using grey relational analysis by Hilmi Işık, Muhammet Burak Kılıç

“…The proposed alternatives to the GA method are evaluated based on Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS), coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and power density error (PDE) over three different wind speed datasets. The grey relational analysis is used in ranking the GA alternatives. …”
