Deciphering antioxidant interactions via data mining and RDKit by Lucas B. Ayres, Justin T. Furgala, Carlos D. Garcia

“…The analysis focuses on the most commonly reported compounds and mixtures and considers how various chemical descriptors (number of atoms, number of heavy atoms, number of heteroatoms, number of carbon atoms, number of oxygen atoms, number of nitrogen atoms, number of chloride atoms, polar surface area, molecular weight, number of aromatic rings, logP, and hydrogen bond counts) affect the response. Out of those, our analysis showed that hydrogen bonding plays an important role in determining how antioxidants interact, potentially affecting the overall behavior of mixtures. …”

Analysis of Spatiotemporal Evolution Characteristics of Dry and Wet Events in Sichuan Province from 1960 to 2019 by HUANG Yi, LI Yunyun, FAN Jingjing, ZHENG Junwei, ZHANG Qing

“…Sichuan Province has a large population and experiences substantial regional climate heterogeneity,resulting in differential sensitivity of dryness and wetness to meteorological changes.Examining the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of dryness and wetness can provide a basis for local departments to take countermeasures against climate change.The dry and wet events in Sichuan from 1960 to 2019 and their intergenerational and seasonal characteristics are identified and described based on run theory.The trend,significance,and periodicity of dry and wet events are described by the Mann-Kendall test and wavelet analysis.The results show that Sichuan Province experienced the highest frequency of dry and wet events in the 1990s and the lowest frequency of the events in the 2000s.Western Sichuan is the driest,while eastern Sichuan is the wettest,with both reaching peak dry and wet event counts in the 1980s.In Sichuan,drought events occur mainly in spring and winter,while humid events occur mainly in summer and autumn.Drought events occur mainly in western Sichuan in spring,and humid events occur mainly in western and northern Sichuan in autumn.The western and northern Sichuan areas tend to be humid,while the southern and eastern Sichuan areas tend to be dry.Except for southern Sichuan,the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) sequence in summer shows a downward trend in other areas,while the downward trend of the SPEI sequence in winter slows down in western and eastern Sichuan areas.…”
