In recent years, detection of trace amounts of dissolved lipophilic phycotoxins in coastal waters has been possible using solid phase adsorption toxin tracking (SPATT) samplers. To explore the contribution of dissolved diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DS...
A DTX-1-producing microalga, Prorocentrum foraminosum, from Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan, was fed to Gray’s mussels, Crenomytilus grayanus, for 12 days. An increase in DTX-1 and 7-O-acyl-DTX-1 (DTX-3) was observed in the digestive gland, kidneys...
Diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs), some of the most important phycotoxins, are distributed almost all over the world, posing a great threat to human health through the food chain. Therefore, it is of great significance to find effective methods to r...
Prorocentrum lima is a widely distributed and major source of diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs); the ecological impact of diol-estered DSTs (eDSTs) compounds on benthic systems is still inadequate. In this study, the acute toxicity of eDSTs was eval...
A long-term positioning experiment was conducted from 2014 to 2021 to determine the appropriate tillage method for rapidly improving soil quality in reclaimed land. Four tillage methods were arranged before winter wheat sowing: deep tillage (DT), sha...
This study investigates the occurrence of diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) and their producing phytoplankton species in southern Brazil, as well as the potential for toxin accumulation in co-occurring mussels (Perna perna) and octopuses (Octopus vu...
Diarrheal shellfish toxins (DSTs) are among the most widely distributed phytotoxins, and are associated with diarrheal shellfish poisoning (DSP) events in human beings all over the world. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to identify an effective...
Diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) are among the most prevalent marine toxins in Europe’s and in other temperate coastal regions. These toxins are produced by several dinoflagellate species; however, the contamination of the marine trophic chai...
Improving drought tolerance in plants is essential for increasing crop yields under water-limited conditions. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the maize gene ZmDST44, which is targeted by the miRNA ZmmiR139. Our results indicate...
Bivalves constitute an important source of proteins for human consumption, but some accumulate biotoxins such as diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs), constituting a risk to human health. The cockle Cerastoderma edule is one of the most important speci...
This paper explores the effect of particle breakage on the mechanical behavior of coarse sand through 3D Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations of direct shear tests (DST). The objective is to gain insights into the macro- and micro-mechanical beh...
To improve the ductility and seismic performance of a double coupling beam, the authors applied a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet and steel tube to form fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–concrete–steel double-skin tubular (DST) composite coupling...
Diminishing soil fertility and crop productivity due to traditional intensive cultivation has prompted the use of straw and manure to improve soil health in Northeast China. However, few comparative studies have explored the influence of varying stra...
Fractured rock masses are susceptible to stress-induced disturbances, which can lead to severe geological disasters. In recent years, the shear deformation and failure characteristics of fractured rock under cyclic shear loading have become a frontie...
Japanese scallops, Patinopecten yessoensis, were fed with the toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis fortii to elucidate the relative magnitude of assimilation, accumulation, and metabolism of diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) and pectenotoxins (PTXs). Thr...
The pore fluid pressure is important for the generation, migration, and accumulation of hydrocarbons. The Chezhen Sag region in the Bohai Bay Basin is typically characterized by pore fluid overpressure, which is the difference between the pore fluid...
The Moxi area in the Sichuan Basin hosts abundant deep geothermal resources, but their thermal regime and accumulation mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using 2D/3D seismic data, drilling records, and temperature measurements (DST), we analyze dee...
Nervonic acid (NA), a very-long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid, is known for its benefits in treating neurological diseases and promoting brain health. In this study, we utilized two different receptors, Brassica juncea (B. juncea, rich in erucic a...
Lithium-ion batteries serve as critical energy storage devices and are extensively utilized across diverse applications. The accurate estimation of State of Charge (SOC) is critically important for Battery Management Systems. Traditional SOC estimati...
This study examines the three-dimensional layered air temperature variations associated with the Hualian M6.9 earthquake, which occurred on 18 September 2022, using data from the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and extracting back...
The Linnan Sag is one of the main oil-producing units in the Huimin Depression, Eastern China, and the pore pressure gradients obtained from drill stem tests (DSTs) range from 9.0 to 16.0 MPa/km. Uncertainty about the origin and distribution of abnor...
Ionospheric delay has a severe effect on reducing the accuracy of positioning and navigation of single-frequency receivers. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a precise regional ionospheric model for real-time Global Navigation Satellite System...
Excess pressure is the main driving force of oil migration in the source-reservoir system of overpressured petroliferous basins. It can reflect the change in driving force for oil migration and its influence on oil accumulation in overpressure transp...
Taking the Luding Ms6.8 earthquake (EQ) on 5 September 2022 as a case study, we investigated the potential seismic anomalies of the ionosphere, infrared radiation, atmospheric electrostatic field (AEF), and hot spring ions in the seismogenic region....
