Sensitivity of fluvial sediment source apportionment to mixing model assumptions: A Bayesian model comparison [PDF]
Mixing models have become increasingly common tools for apportioning fluvial sediment load to various sediment sources across catchments using a wide variety of Bayesian and frequentist modeling approaches.

Iodine source apportionment in the Malawian diet [PDF]
AbstractThe aim of this study was to characterise nutritional-I status in Malawi. Dietary-I intakes were assessed using new datasets of crop, fish, salt and water-I concentrations, while I status was assessed for 60 women living on each of calcareous and non-calcareous soils as defined by urinary iodine concentration (UIC).

Amplification of black carbon light absorption induced by atmospheric aging: temporal variation at seasonal and diel scales in urban Guangzhou [PDF]
Black carbon (BC) aerosols have been widely recognized as a vital climate forcer in the atmosphere. Amplification of light absorption can occur due to coatings on BC during atmospheric aging, an effect that remains uncertain in accessing the radiative ...

Budget of nitrous acid (HONO) at an urban site in the fall season of Guangzhou, China [PDF]
High concentrations of nitrous acid (HONO) have been observed in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of China in recent years, contributing to an elevated atmospheric oxidation capacity due to the production of OH through HONO photolysis.

Source apportionment resolved by time of day for improved deconvolution of primary source contributions to air pollution [PDF]
Present methodologies for source apportionment assume fixed source profiles. Since meteorology and human activity patterns change seasonally and diurnally, application of source apportionment techniques to shorter rather than longer time periods ...
