Abstract. Aerosol mixing state is an important emergent property that affects aerosol radiative forcing and aerosol–cloud interactions, but it has not been easy to constrain this globally. This study aims verify the global distribution of represented by modal models. To quantify state, we used indices for submicron based on optically absorbing non-absorbing species (χo), primary carbonaceous no...

Recently a new detection method, based upon aerosol charging (the charged aerosol detector (CAD)) has been introduced as an alternative to evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD), chemiluminescent nitrogen detector and refractive index detector for detection of non-ultraviolet and weakly ultraviolet active compounds and for UV-absorbing compounds in the absence of standards. The content of...

UNLABELLED Aristolochic acid is the cause of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) and Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) and their associated urothelial malignancies. Using Western blotting, we investigated the expression of NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), the most efficient cytosolic enzyme that reductively activates aristolochic acid I (AAI) in mice and rats. In addition, the effect of ...

Aerosol types in Asian capital cities were classified using a random forest (RF) satellite-based aerosol classification model during 2018–2020 an investigation of the contributions types, with or without Robotic Network (AERONET) observations. In this study, we used recently developed RF to detect and classify aerosols into four types: pure dust, dust-dominated aerosols, strongly absorbing non-...

Life expectancy has increased considerably throughout the world. In Bangladesh, life expectancy has increased from about 53 years in 1975 to 69 years in 2010. However, it is unknown whether the increase in life expectancy is simultaneously accompanied by an increase in disability-free life expectancy (DFLE). The purpose of the study described in this article was to explore the relationship betw...

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) play an important role in rural economic growth and farmers’ revenue increase. A key issue in NTFP development is the competitiveness of different products or the same product in different regions. Using production data for main NTFPs, such as citrus, bamboo shoots, waxberry and green-tea in Zhejiang, this paper estimates the Efficiency Advantage Index (EAI), ...
