Topological Properties of Large-Scale Cortical Networks Based on Multiple Morphological Features in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment by Qiongling Li, Xinwei Li, Xuetong Wang, Yuxia Li, Kuncheng Li, Yang Yu, Changhao Yin, Shuyu Li, Ying Han

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) has disrupted properties of large-scale cortical networks based on cortical thickness and gray matter volume. However, it is largely unknown whether the topological properties of cortical networks based on geometric measures (i.e., sulcal depth, curvature, and metric distortion) change in aMCI patients compared with normal controls because these geometric features of cerebral cortex may be related to its intrinsic connectivity. …”

Effects of Soil Properties on Pb, Cd, and Cu Contents in Tobacco Leaves of Longyan, China, and Their Prediction Models by Wei Xi, YuanYe Ping, HaiYang Cai, Qian Tan, Chaoyang Liu, Junru Shen, YaWen Zhang

“…In contrast, a positive correlation was established between the presence of organic matter with cadmium content in tobacco leaves. The prediction models of lead, cadmium, and copper in tobacco leaves can be expressed by the regression equation corresponding to each heavy metal as follows: YPb=2.33−0.005∗ XK+0.007∗XN −0.271∗XpH+0.065∗XPb (R2 = 0.787), YCd=1.55+0.012∗XOM−0.014∗XCu+34.6∗XCd (R2 = 0.891), and YCu=4.64−0.029∗XP−0.007∗XK+0.245∗XCu (R2 = 0.724), respectively. …”

Application of different doses of compost as a substitution of the commercial substrate in nursery for pepper and tomato seedlings by Maria Fiasconaro, Mariana Abrile, Lucia Hintermeister, Maria del Carmen Antolin, Maria Eugenia Lovato

“…The plants cultivated with composts presented higher concentrations of total dry matter compared to the controls. Photosynthetic pigments were affected by the presence of FC and BC, whereas TSP concentration was favored by BC.Conclusion Ours results suggest that it is feasible to perform a total substitution of commercial substrates with composts of different origins and compositions for the production of pepper and tomato plants in commercial nurseries.…”

Experimental Study on Flow Characteristics of Aeolian Sand in Fractures by Jiarui Chen, Wenhu Gu, Jihua Zhang, Jitao Tang, Zhengzheng Cao, Jingke Wu, Jianxiong Liu, Weizhong He, Fang Shi

“…The results show the following: (1) The influence of fracture opening and fracture angle on sand burst rate is much greater than that of sand thickness. No matter what the fracture angle and fracture opening value are, the influence weight of sand thickness on sand burst rate is almost zero. (2) When other conditions are unchanged, with the increase of fracture dip angle, the sand burst rate increases significantly, and the relationship between the sand burst rate and the fracture dip angle is exponential. (3) The influence weight of fracture opening is the largest. …”

“…While younger sediments (<1,000 years) are dominated by typical anaerobic surface sedimentary bacterial taxa (Deltaproteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Firmicutes), older layers with lower organic matter concentrations and reduced terminal electron acceptor availability are dominated by taxa previously identified as “persistent populations” within deep anoxic marine sediments (Candidatus Bathyarchaeia, Chloroflexi, and Atribacteria). …”
