Effect of Na2Co3 on the preparation of metallic tin from cassiterite roasted under strong reductive atmosphere by Zhang Y., Liu B., Su Z., Chen J., Li G., Jiang T.

“…In the presence of Na2CO3, most of SnO2 in the raw materials (mixture of SnO2+SiO2) was directly reduced to metallic tin, and part of SnO2 reacted with Na2CO3 to form intermediate Na2SnO3, which was then reduced to metallic tin. The SiO2 was transformed into Na2SiO3 and then went into the water solution in the following water-leaching process. …”

Interventions to prevent violence against women and girls globally: a global systematic review of reviews to update the RESPECT women framework by Avni Amin, Mary Ellsberg, Chelsea Ullman, Angela Bourassa, Shikha Chandarana, Flávia Dutra

“…Six (3%) reviews focused on interventions that aim to strengthen relationship skills, 14 (8%) focused on empowerment of women and girls, 79 (44%) on services for survivors, 5 (3%) on poverty reduction, 16 (9%) on creating safe environments, 36 (20%) on preventing child and adolescent abuse and 22 (12%) on transforming gender attitudes, beliefs and norms. Little new evidence has emerged to meaningfully change the nature and strength of evidence for interventions related to relationship skills strengthening and poverty reduction. …”

Effects of abscisic acid and gibberellin on sugar accumulation in 'Fengtang' Plum (Prunus salicina LindI.) by Qianjun Song, Xiaoshuang Nie, Hong Chen

“…The conclusion is that ABA increases fruit sugar content by increasing the expression of the fruit sugar transporter protein genes PsSWEET4 and PsSTP1 as well as the sucrose synthase genes PsSUS4 and PsSPS2, whereas GA3 decreases sugar accumulation and delays fruit ripening by decreasing the accumulation of sugar during ripening by increasing the expression of the neutral transforming enzyme genes PsNINV1/3/4 to break down sucrose into fructose and glucose.…”
