Perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) are persistent and ecotoxic chemicals in aquatic environments. To date, little is known about measures for strengthening PFAS removal in constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, the removal of the target PFAS perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane...

Using a comprehensive individual panel dataset in China and an event study approach, we examine the effects of having a child on gender inequality on various labor market outcomes and its mechanisms. Results show that becoming a mother implies a sharp decline in individual earnings, working...

Using a comprehensive individual panel dataset in China and an event study method, we examined the effects of having a child on gender inequality from the perspectives of labor market outcomes and its mechanisms. Results show that becoming a mother implies a sharp decline in labor earnings,...

In this paper, micro harmonic vibration was applied to the typical titanium alloys at different frequencies to clarify their damping performance at cryogenic temperatures. The effects of vibration modulus at different frequencies were elaborately analyzed, and the crack propagation mechanism was...
