Knowledge on the behavior and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) is poorly explored in marine aphotic environment. In this study, the degradation mechanism of a typical PPCPs—ibuprofen (IBP) by a ubiquitous marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. was investigated based on...

In this work, a series of ordered mesoporous carbon nanomaterials (CMK-3) have been synthesized by a hard-template method at temperatures of 80 o C, 100 o C and 130 o C, which can serve as adsorbents for efficient quinolones adsorption in aqueous solutions. The physicochemical properties and the...

Herein, a single-atom nickel/sulfur co-doped g-C3N4 (Ni/S-CN-N) was prepared via thermal polymerization of urea/thiourea complexes of nickel followed by secondary calcining with NH4Cl. The photocatalytic performances were evaluated by tetracycline (TC) degradation and CO2 reduction. The X-ray...

Online labor marketplaces facilitate the efficient matching of employers and workers across geographical boundaries. The exponential growth of this nascent online phenomenon holds important social and economic implications, as the hiring decisions made on these online platforms implicate the...

We document that as borrowers’ shareholders cross-hold more equity of the lenders, both the price (i.e., loan spread) and non-price (i.e., financial covenants) terms included in the loan contract are more favorable for the borrowers. We address endogeneity concerns by controlling for borrower...

Straw deep returning as an interlayer is a novel practice to enhance soil carbon and nutrients. However, the impact of applying various amounts of straw as an interlayer on soil quality still remain unclear in the saline soil. Therefore, a field experiment was carried out over four years...

Political science research finds that individuals exhibit partisan bias, which results in unduly favorable economic expectations when their partisanship aligns with that of the US president. We examine whether partisan bias is present in management earnings forecasts, where CEOs have strong...

Amidst efforts to foster sustainable economic development, many cities have embarked on the relocation of government offices as a means to revamp their existing resource allocation strategies. This study investigates the environmental implications of local government relocation in China from...
