Study on Ecological Flow in Hejiang River by ZHANG Pan, KONG Lan, ZHANG Fangxiu, WANG Ming

“…Based on the series of hydrological data from the controlling hydrological station of Xindu and Gulan in the mainstream of Hejiang River,this paper uses hydrological methods to study ecological flow in Hejiang River.After analyzing and comparing the results of different calculation methods,the calculation results of the 90% guarantee rate of the driest month average method and the annual exhibition calculation method are selected as the ecological base flow and the annual volume of the basic ecological flow in the river.The ecological base flow of Xindu Station and Gulan Station are 26.5 and 34.6 m³/s,and the annual volumes are 58.8 and 87.0 m³/s;the calculation result of the frequency curve method is taken as the target ecological flow in the river,and the annual volume of Xindu Station and Gulan Station is 83.9 and 121.0 m³/s.The research results aim to provide theoretical support for the management and protection of Hejiang River in the future and serve as a reference for improving the rational allocation of regional water resources.…”

Percutaneous Ethanol Injection in Combination with Laser Ablation for a 100 ml Partially Cystic Thyroid Nodule by Roberto Negro, Gabriele Greco

“…We describe the case of a 59-year-old woman with a large, partially cystic thyroid nodule having a volume of about 100 ml. As the patient refused surgery, despite her constant local discomfort, such large partially cystic nodule underwent several percutaneous ethanol injections (PEI) and then was submitted to LA. …”

Paying for crime: frauds in DPVAT insurance and their impacts on society by Beatriz Peres Lopes, João Vinícius França Carvalho

“…Additionally, in two counterfactual scenarios, it was estimated: (i) what would be the value of the DPVAT premium in case the fraud effects were purged, aiming to analyze whether the verified heterogeneity could be explained by the volume of proven frauds; (ii) the financial volume that could potentially be saved by society in case the frauds were subtracted since 2006. …”

Sorptive Removal of Odorous Carbonyl Gases by Water by Ehsanul Kabir, Ki-Hyun Kim

“…The removal efficiency of the target compounds was inspected in terms of two major variables: (1) concentration levels of gaseous standard and (2) impinger water volume (20, 50, 100, and 150 mL). Although the extent of removal was affected fairly sensitively by changes in water volume, this was not the case for standard concentration level changes. …”
