This study investigated the effects of meteorological factors on daily new cases of COVID-19 in 127 countries and found that temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed are nonlinearly correlated with daily new cases. The study results provide valuable insights for developing strategies to combat COVID-19.
Meteorological parameters are the critical factors of affecting respiratory infectious disease such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and influenza, however, the effect of meteorological parameters on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains controversial. This study investigated the effects of meteorological factors on daily new cases of COVID-19 in 127 countries, as of August 31 2020. The log-linear generalized additive model (GAM) was used to analyze the effect of meteorological variables on daily new cases of COVID-19. Our findings revealed that temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed are nonlinearly correlated with daily new cases, and they may be negatively correlated with the daily new cases of COVID-19 over 127 countries when temperature, relative humidity and wind speed were below 20 degrees C, 70% and 7 m/s respectively. Temperature(>20 degrees C) was positively correlated with daily new cases. Wind speed (when>7 m/s) and relative humidity (>70%) was not statistically associated with transmission of COVID-19. The results of this research will be a useful supplement to help healthcare policymakers in the Belt and Road countries, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to develop strategies to combat COVID-19.

Double Paddle-Wheel Enhanced Sodium Ion Conduction in an Antiperovskite Solid Electrolyte

Ping-Chun Tsai, Sunil Mair, Jeffrey Smith, David M. M. Halat, Po-Hsiu Chien, Kwangnam Kim, Duhan Zhang, Yiliang Li, Liang Yin, Jue Liu, Saul H. H. Lapidus, Jeffrey A. A. Reimer, Nitash P. P. Balsara, Donald J. J. Siegel, Yet-Ming Chiang

Summary: Through combined experiments and modeling, the first instance of a double paddle-wheel mechanism, leading to fast sodium ion conduction in the antiperovskite Na3-xO1-x(NH2)(x)(BH4), is shown. As the concentration of amide (NH2-) cluster anions is increased, large positive deviations in ionic conductivity above that predicted from a vacancy diffusion model are observed. Using various characterization techniques, the cluster anion rotational dynamics are found to influence cation mobility, resulting in significantly higher sodium ion conductivity at x = 1 compared to the vacancy mechanism alone.

Trends and disparities in sleep quality and duration in older adults in China from 2008 to 2018: A national observational study

Zihao Tao, Yuting Feng, Jue Liu, Liyuan Tao

Summary: This study aimed to investigate trends and disparities in sleep quality and duration among older adults in China between 2008 and 2018. The results showed an increased prevalence of poor sleep quality and short sleep duration among older adults during this period. Factors such as gender, economic status, number of chronic diseases, underweight, and poor self-reported quality of life and health were associated with poor sleep quality and short sleep duration. Therefore, more attention should be paid to sleep problems among older adults and early interventions should be implemented to improve sleep quality and ensure adequate sleep time.

Global, regional, and national incidence and mortality of congenital birth defects from 1990 to 2019

Liangyu Kang, Guiying Cao, Wenzhan Jing, Jue Liu, Min Liu

Summary: This study aimed to assess the trends in incidence and mortality of congenital birth defects from 1990 to 2019 globally, regionally, and nationally. Data on annual incident cases, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs), deaths, and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) were collected. The results showed that the total incident cases and deaths of congenital birth defects in 2019 were 8.52 million and 0.55 million, respectively. Congenital heart anomalies were the major category of congenital birth defects globally in 2019. The ASIR remained stable, while the ASMR decreased during the study period. The most significant increase in ASIR occurred in low-middle socio-demographic index (SDI) regions. Deaths increased in low SDI regions and the ASMR increased in Southern Sub-Saharan Africa. Negative correlations were found between SDI and universal health coverage index values and the trends in ASIRs and ASMRs at national levels. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening surveillance and detection of congenital birth defects, as well as improving maternal and child healthcare capacity and promoting treatment and rehabilitation, especially in resource-limited countries.

Metals recovery from polymetallic sulfide tailings by bioleaching functional bacteria isolated with the improved 9K agar: Comparison between one-step and two-step processes

Muqiu Hu, Xin Zhao, Jinghan Gu, Lulu Qian, Zhiqing Wang, Yuanyuan Nie, Xiaoyu Han, Long An, Haiqiang Jiang

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: Air pollution is associated with a range of health issues and gestational exposure to environmental pollutants may be linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. This study investigated the effects of oral gestational exposure to particulate matter (PM) on ultrasonic vocalizations (USV). The findings suggest that this exposure may lead to social deficits and abnormal gene expression related to neurotransmitter systems. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of air pollution on neurodevelopmental disorders and the neurotransmission systems involved.

Gokulan Ravindiran, Sivarethinamohan Rajamanickam, Muralikrishnan Ramalingam, Gasim Hayder, Balamurugan Karupaiya Sathaiah, Madhava Krishna Reddy Gaddam, Senthil Kumar Muniasamy, Priya Arunkumar

Summary: The present study investigated the sustainable approach for wastewater treatment using waste algal blooms. The biochar produced by the marine algae Ulva reticulata was used to remove chromium, nickel, and zinc from aqueous solutions. The study examined the adsorbents' properties and stability using SEM/EDX, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that the biochar had high removal efficiency for the toxic metals, and the packed bed column effectively removed the heavy metal ions. The Thomas and Adams-Bohart models were found to best fit the regression values, and desorption studies were conducted to understand the sorption and elution processes.

A remote sensing-based strategy for mapping potentially toxic elements of soils: Temporal-spatial-spectral covariates combined with random forest

Xibo Xu, Zeqiang Wang, Xiaoning Song, Wenjie Zhan, Shuting Yang

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.

Summary: Heteroatom doping can reconfigure the electronic structure of heterogeneous catalysts, leading to the development of advanced oxidation water purification materials with superior performance and stability. In this study, a series of catalysts with different elemental doping were prepared using a simple and environmentally friendly method. The S-doped NiCo2O4 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance for the removal of Tetracycline, with significantly increased kinetic constant and high oxidation and mineralization efficiency in a wide pH range. The degradation process was dominated by non-radical oxidation pathway after S doping, and the overall process moved towards low toxicity.
