With the continual increase in the utilization of rare earth elements (REEs) for industrial and agricultural purposes in China,
the research into the environmental biogeochemical behavior of REEs has become a pressing issue. The REEs’ content in soil
and various parts of wheat under different conditions in soil–plant systems were measured by INAA and ICP-MS. The results
showed four aspects. (1) The mean value of total REEs in soil of China was 176.8 mg kg−1. The mean ratio of ΣLREE/ΣHREE in soils was 8.0 and cerium accounts for 42% of the total REEs. The content of REEs in wheat
seed ranged between 10−11 and 10−8 g g−1, 3–4 orders of magnitude lower than that in soil. (2) The REEs contents in ryegrass, especially in roots, were significantly
related to that of soil. The bioavailability of REEs in soil mainly depended on the exchangeable fraction of REEs, which was
strongly affected by the physico–chemical properties of the soil. (3) Long-term foliage-dressing with Changle microfertilizer
of REEs did not affect the contents and distribution patterns of REEs in soil. At the maturing stage of spring wheat, the
REEs content was in the order of root > leaf >stem and crust. Compared with the control, foliage-dressing has a higher accumulation
of REEs in root and leaf. However, no significant difference was found in stem and crust between the two treatments. (4) There
was no significant accumulation with the soil-dressing method. When comparing controls in both foliage- and soil-dressing
methods, no distinct residue of REEs in grains was found. 相似文献
Introduction: The purposes of this study are to characterize Israeli undergraduate students' driving violations in the terms of problem behavior theory and to identify whether there is any relationship between driving violations and health risk behaviors, daring behaviors, excitement seeking, and health promotion behaviors.
Methods: This study is based on a structured self-reported anonymous questionnaire distributed to undergraduate students in an academic institution. The sample included 533 undergraduate students (374 females and 159 males). The mean age was 23.4 (SD = 1.4, range = 5).
Results: A higher prevalence of self-reported driving violations was found among males in comparison to females. All substance use measures were positively related to driving violations; for example, use of cigarettes (OR = 4.287, P <.001) and water pipes (odds ratio [OR] = 3.000, P <.001) as well as binge drinking (OR = 5.707, P <.001) and regular cannabis smoking (OR = 5.667, P <.001) raise the probability of committing rare driving violations. The strongest predictive factors for the frequent driving violations group were alcohol consumption–related variables: binge drinking (OR = 2.560, P <.01) and drunkenness (OR = 2.284, P <.05). Strong odd ratios were also found between the frequent driving violations group and selling or dealing drugs (12.143, P <.001), and stealing something valuable (13.680, P <.001). The strongest predicted variable for the rare driving violations group was physical confrontation due to verbal disagreement (3.439, P <.05) and the concept that selling or dealing drugs is socially acceptable (2.521, P <.05). The probability of executing rare driving violations was higher for subjects who reported intense physical workout regimens (OR = 1.638, P <.05).
Conclusions: Problem behavior theory succeeded in explaining health risk behavior and driving violations. This study shows that bachelors tend to be more involved in risk behaviors, such as substance use, excitement-seeking behaviors, and daring behaviors and are active physically and thus constitute a risk group for driving violations. As such, intervention resources should be directed toward this group. 相似文献
