In the section Shared Error and Complex Dosimetry Systems for Dose Reconstruction under the subheading “Incorporating multiple realizations of dose into dose-response analysis,” the first sentence of the seventh paragraph incorrectly refers to equation 6 and equation 7. This should instead should refer to Eqs 4 and 5. The correct sentence is: Note that many of the properties 1–4 above (from Str...

An hourly scale precursor of inland earthquakes (EQs) is revealed in this paper. Several EQ cases China have been reported. As indicated by a table listing 23 EQs and their shock time, epicenter location, magnitude, near-epicenter weather conditions, start time duration, when the conditions are fair near epicenter, an anomalously negative atmospheric electrostatic signal readily observable appr...

Introduction In this Supplementary Material, we provide the mathematical details of the algorithm we used to make posterior inferences on the generative model described by Eqs. 5. Currently, there are two major classes of methods for posterior inference in Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Mixture Models. The first class includes algorithms based on the Chinese Restaurant metaphor for representing...

Language abilities gradually decline as we age, but the mechanisms of this decline are not well understood. The present study investigated comprehension of subject vs. object who and which direct questions (DQs), embedded questions (EQs) and relative clauses (RCs) in 39 cognitively healthy native speakers of Spanish. The elderly participants (n = 21) were further classified according to their s...

Corrections to Eqs. (25) and (32) in our recent publication [Appl. Opt.55, 2601-2610 (2016).APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.55.002601] are presented in this erratum.

Abstract In this short article, we respond to a Commentary by Maack et al. (Environ Sci Eur 34:24, 2022) in which they challenge recommendations Leverett 33:133, 2021) for setting an aquatic Environmental Quality Standard (EQS) the pharmaceutical diclofenac. recommend use of results from stream mesocosm study as main point departure EQS and dismiss Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) contain...

in the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the debye-hückel theory (dht) considering time dependence explicitly. from the electro-quasistatic approach (eqs) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes.this...

Eggs of neotropic cormorants (Phalacrocorax brasilianus), black-crowned night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax), and great egrets (Ardea alba) nesting on several locations in Galveston Bay (TX, USA) and at two control sites outside the bay were collected during April-May 1996 and analyzed for chlorinated pesticides, PCBs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, and polychlorinated dibenzofurans. Additi...

Total concentrations of compounds that can cause activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in extracts of river sediments from various locations in the Haihe and Dagu Rivers, Tianjin, China were determined by use of the in vitro H4IIE-luc cell line. AhR-active compounds were isolated from sediments by Soxhlet extraction, and the crude extracts were fractionated using a Florisil column i...

The human diet contains industrial-derived, endocrine-active chemicals and higher levels of naturally occurring compounds that modulate multiple endocrine pathways. Hazard and risk assessment of these mixtures is complicated by noadditive interactions between different endocrine-mediated responses. This study focused on estrogenic chemicals in the diet and compared the relative potencies or est...
