چکیده
Abstract. Methyl bromide (CH3Br) is a potent ozone-depleting substance (ODS) that has both natural and anthropogenic sources. CH3Br been used mainly for preplant soil fumigation, post-harvest grain timber structural fumigation. Most non-quarantine pre-shipment (non-QPS) uses were phased out by 2005 non-Article 5 (developed) countries 2015 Article (developing) under the Montreal Protocol on Substances Deplete Ozone Layer; some have continued critical-use exemptions (CUEs). Under protocol, individual nations are required to report annual data production consumption quarantine–pre-shipment (QPS) uses, non-QPS CUEs United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). In this study, we analyzed high-precision, in situ measurements of atmospheric mole fractions obtained at Gosan station Jeju Island, South Korea, from 2008 2019. The background atmosphere declined 8.5±0.8 ppt (parts per trillion) 7.4±0.6 2019 rate -0.13±0.02 yr?1. At Gosan, also observed periods persistent (pollution events) elevated above decreasing continental air masses China. Statistical back-trajectory analyses showed these pollution events predominantly traced back emissions eastern Using an interspecies correlation (ISC) method with reference trace species CFC-11 (CCl3F), estimate China average 4.1±1.3 Gg yr?1 2008–2019, approximately 2.9±1.3 higher than bottom-up emission estimates reported UNEP. Possible non-fumigation sources – rapeseed biomass burning assessed, it was found discrepancy most likely due unreported or incorrectly QPS fumigation uses. These confined account 30 %–40 % global emissions. They delays introduction alternatives, such as sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2), heat, irradiation, possible lack industry awareness need regulation use.

Event-Related Potentials of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Processing of Emotional Faces
Introduction: Emotional stimulus is processed automatically in a bottom-up way or can be processed voluntarily in a top-down way. Imaging studies have indicated that bottom-up and top-down processing are mediated through different neural systems. However, temporal differentiation of top-down versus bottom-up processing of facial emotional expressions has remained to be clarified. The present st...
متن کاملDistinguishing Top-Down From Bottom-Up Effects
The distinction between top-down and bottom-up effects is widely relied on in experimental psychology. However, there is an important problem with the way it is normally defined. Top-down effects are effects of previously-stored information on processing the current input. But on the face of it that includes the information that is implicit in the operation of any psychological process – in its...
متن کاملBottom-Up Beats Top-Down
In PEPA, the calculation of the transitions enabled by a process accounts for a large part of the time for the state space exploration of the underlying Markov chain. Unlike other approaches based on recursion, we present a new technique that is iterative—it traverses the process’ binary tree from the sequential components at the leaves up to the root. Empirical results shows that this algorith...
متن کاملCombining Bottom-Up and Top-Down
We motivate the formulation of market equilibrium as a mixed complementarity problem which explicitly represents weak inequalities and complementarity between decision variables and equilibrium conditions. The complementarity format permits an energy-economy model to combine technological detail of a bottom-up energy system with a second-best characterization of the overall economy. Our primary...
