Water Chemistry and Nitrogen and Oxygen Isotope Techniques for Tracing Nitrate Sources and Transformation Processes in Ionic Rare Earth Mining Areas by GUO Qiuyan, ZHANG Qiuying, LI Zhao, LI Fadong, WANG Fan

“…To identify the source,migration and transformation processes,and pollution contribution of nitrate in the water body of ionic rare earth mining areas,this paper determined the anions and nitrate nitrogen-oxygen isotopes of surface and groundwater samples by taking Longnan County as the study area.The results show that the water chemistry type in Longnan County is basically dominated by HCO₃·SO₄-Ca,and the nitrogen-containing compounds are dominated by nitrate.The characteristic plots of the values of δ¹⁵N-NO^-₃ and δ¹⁸O-NO^-₃ combined with the relationship between NO^-₃/Cl^- molar concentration ratios and Cl^- concentrations show that the nitrate concentrations in the Longnan County are mainly influenced by ammonium nitrogen fertilizer,soil nitrogen,manure and mine drainage and that the main process of nitrate transformation is nitrification,with no significant denitrification reactions.The results of the MixSIAR model also show that the nitrate in surface water and groundwater mainly comes from mine drainage,soil nitrogen and manure.…”

Infrared Spectroscopic Study of the Acidic Character of Modified Alumina Surfaces by Aline Auroux, Antonella Gervasini

“…It was found that, following treatment with lithium acetate or ammonium sulphate, the same –OH groups were involved in both modifications, acting in turn as acidic –OH groups capable of exchanging their protons with lithium ions or as basic groups capable of exchanging with acid sulphate anions or acting as strong nucleophiles to form hydrogen carbonates with carbon dioxide. …”

Making Maoshan Great Again: Religious Rhetoric and Popular Mobilisation from Late Qing to Republican China (1864–1937) by Qijun Zheng

“…Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, including editions of the <i>Maoshan Gazetteer</i>, liturgical manuals such as the scripture (<i>jing</i> 經), litany (<i>chan</i> 懺), and performative texts such as the precious scroll (<i>baojuan</i> 寶卷) of the Three Mao Lords, this study identifies six key rhetoric strategies employed by Maoshan Daoists, using the acronym IMPACT: (1) Incorporation: Appending miracle tales (<i>lingyan ji</i> 靈驗記) and divine medicine (<i>xianfang</i> 仙方) to address immediate and practical needs of contemporary society; (2) Memory: Preserving doctrinal continuity while invoking cultural nostalgia to reinforce connections to traditional values and heritage; (3) Performance: Collaborating with professional storytellers to disseminate vernacularized texts through oral performances, thereby reaching broader audiences including the illiterate. (4) Abridgment: Condensing lengthy texts into concise and accessible formats; (5) Canonization: Elevating the divine status of deities through spirit-writing, thereby enhancing their religious authority; (6) Translation: Rendering classical texts into vernacular language for broader accessibility. …”

Modeling Coupled Nonlinear Multilayered Dynamics: Cyber Attack and Disruption of an Electric Grid by Marc Mangel, Jimmie McEver

“…Second, we illustrate one of the Electric Power Research Institute scenarios for the reverse engineering of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) by coupling the synchronous motor equations for the generator and utility to the model of compromise. We derive a canonical condition for grid failure that relates the level of compromise at the time of detection of compromise and the dissipation parameter in the synchronous motor model. …”
