Analysis of suspended particulate material (SPM) collected from the Columbia River and its estuary in 2007–2008 revealed the ubiquitous presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from several distinct sources. The two dominant ones were: (1) a suite of non-alkylated, three to five-ringed compounds derived from high temperature combustion and (2)...
A new composite system, Ba(Zr[subscript 0.07]Ti[subscript 0.93])O₃ (BZT93) ceramic/NiO nanoparticles, was fabricated to investigate the effect of NiO nanoparticles on the properties of these composites. M-H hysteresis loops showed an improvement in the magnetic behavior for higher NiO content samples plus modified ferroelectric properties. However, the 1 vol. % samples...
We demonstrate a novel synthetic route to fabricate a one-dimensional
peapod-like Sb@C structure with disperse Sb
submicron-particles encapsulated in carbon submicron-tubes.
The synthetic route may well serve as a general methodology
for fabricating carbon/metallic fine structures by thermally
reducing their carbon-coated metal oxide composites.
Simultaneous speech-to-text translation remains a difficult yet important problem for modern machine learning models whereby a text translation is generated concurrently with receiving partial speech inputs. One state-of-the-art simultaneous speech-to-text model is the augmented memory transformer whose encoder breaks a speech input into fixed-size overlapping segments composed of left, right,...
In 2008, China released a new green initiative, the Green Securities Policy, to increase the sustainability of Chinese capital markets. One of the integral components of the policy is the new environmental disclosure regulation which prescribes Chinese listed companies in the 14 highly polluting industries to report required environmental information....
Converting CO2 to valuable materials is attractive.Herein, we report using simple metallothermic reactions to reduce atmospheric CO2 to dense nanoporous graphene. By using a Zn/Mg mixture as a reductant, the resulted nanoporous graphene exhibits highly desirable properties: high specific surface area of 1900 m2/g, a great conductivity of 1050 S/m...

Morpholino oligos (Morpholinos) are widely used tools for knocking down gene expression and are currently in a clinical trial for treatment of Duchene muscular dystrophy. A Morpholino analog has been in a clinical trial as a potential anti-bioterrorism agent for inhibiting replication of deadly Marburg viral infection. The cellular uptake...

Culture, thought worldview and language have been
discussed for a long time in different fields from various
perspectives. However, the basis of this study is the view
of language as both the product and producer of people just
as people are the producer and product of language. Each
language requires...
Gender relations as well as the social situation of Manchu women have long been ignored in studies of the cultural evolution of the Manchu. By setting the discussion of Manchu women in the context of cultural adaptation, this study reintroduces gender and women's problems into the research on the Manchu...
