Interannual variability of Fe stress in HNLC regions Equatorial Pacific
No secular trends in the spatially averaged Fe stress are appar- ent in the 20-year time series in any HNLC region (Figs. 3 and 4). The Fe stress fluctuations in EQ coincide with the monthly average SSTsat anomalies (SSTmonth − SST2003–2022 average) ...

Research on the toxicity of PVC before and after aging
This study exposed Paramecium caudatum to aqueous solutions with varying PVC mass concentrations (0.00, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, and 0.12 g/L) before and after aging for 15 days. Compared to blank controls, it was observed that PVC exposure influenced the g...
