Analysis of Long-Range Transport of Carbon Dioxide and Its High Concentration Events over East Asian Region Using GOSAT Data and GEOS-Chem Modeling by Seung-Yeon Kim, Sang-Deok Lee, Jae-Bum Lee, Deok-Rae Kim, Jin-Seok Han, Kwang-Ho Choi, Chang-Keun Song

“…This comprehensive analysis, in particular with GOSAT CO2 observation data, shows that CO2 plume with high concentration can be long-range transported with 1-2 days’ duration with regional scale. We can find out with GEOS-Chem tagging simulation that more than 45% of the elevated CO2 concentration over central/eastern China, Korea, and Japan on high concentration days can be explained by emission sources of East Asia mainland.…”

Evaluation of volatile safety in children's play mats based on non-targeted screening and risk prioritization by Shuang Liang, Haoyang Shi, Yinhui Yang, Qing Zhang, Zhijuan Wang, Qing Lv

“…In this study, 34 play mats, comprising four materials (3 EPE, 15 XPE, 5 PVC, 11 EVA), were subjected to non-targeted screening based on headspace gas chromatography-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (HS-GC-Orbitrap HRMS), which screened out 71 volatile substances. The 20 significantly different substances were recognized by partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), while the characteristic substances in each type of play mat were determined through clustering heat map and Venn diagram. …”

Tungsten erosion during L-mode discharges in the DIII-D SAS-VW divertor by G. Sinclair, T. Abrams, M.S. Parsons, S.H. Messer, J. Mateja, S.A. Zamperini, D.M. Thomas, J.D. Elder, R. Maurizio, T. Odstrcil, R.S. Wilcox, J.L. Herfindal, D.D. Truong, J.G. Watkins, A.G. McLean, D.L. Rudakov, J. Ren, D. Donovan

“…The difference in the measured core W density with OSP position is much greater than the difference in the measured erosion rates, which may suggest that the leakage of eroded impurities out of the divertor is governed primarily through the parallel ion temperature gradient and friction forces.…”
