This study assessed the impact of increasing seawater surface temperature (SST) and toxic algal abundance (TAA) on the accumulation, tissue distribution and elimination dynamics of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in mussels. Mytilus coruscus were fed with the PSTs-producing dinoflagellate A. catenella under four simulated environment conditions. The maximum PSTs concentration was determined to be 3548 µg STX eq.kg−1, which was four times higher than the EU regulatory limit. The increasing SST caused a significant decline in PSTs levels in mussels with rapid elimination rates, whereas high TAA increased the PSTs concentration. As a result, the PSTs toxicity levels decreased under the combined condition. Additionally, toxin burdens were assessed within shellfish tissues, with the highest levels quantified in the hepatopancreas. It is noteworthy that the toxin burden shifted towards the mantle from gill, muscle and gonad at the 17th day. Moreover, variability of PSTs was measured, and was associated with changes in each environmental factor. Hence, this study primarily illustrates the combined effects of SST and TAA on PSTs toxicity, showing that increasing environmental temperature is of benefit to lower PSTs toxicity with rapid elimination rates.

Difference between adsorption of benzene by diatomite and nano-TiO2immobilized on diatomite was investigated. And effects of temperature, light intensity, relative humidity, and initial benzene concentration on adsorption and degradation of benzene by nano-TiO2immobilized on diatomite were also studied. The experimental results showed that when initial benzene concentration was2.2×10−3 mg L−1, it could be degraded to below safe concentration (1.1×10−4 mg L−1) after 50 h when temperature was 20°C, but it just needed 30 h at 35°C. When light intensity was 6750 Lx, it needed 30 h for benzene to be degraded to below safe concentration, but benzene could barely be degraded without light. When relative humidity was 50%, benzene could be degraded to1.0×10−4 mg L−1after 30 h, while its concentration could be reduced to7.0×10−5 mg L−1at the relative humidity of 80%.

The present work examines the effects of temperature and velocity jump conditions on heat transfer, fluid flow, and entropy generation. As the physical model, the axially symmetrical steady flow of a Newtonian ambient fluid over a single rotating disk is chosen. The related nonlinear governing equations for flow and thermal fields are reduced to ordinary differential equations by applying so-called classical approach, which was first introduced by von Karman. Instead of a numerical method, a recently developed popular semi numerical-analytical technique; differential transform method is employed to solve the reduced governing equations under the assumptions of velocity and thermal jump conditions on the disk surface. The combined effects of the velocity slip and temperature jump on the thermal and flow fields are investigated in great detail for different values of the nondimensional field parameters. In order to evaluate the efficiency of such rotating fluidic system, the entropy generation equation is derived and nondimensionalized. Additionally, special attention has been given to entropy generation, its characteristic and dependency on various parameters, i.e., group parameter, Kn and Re numbers, etc. It is observed that thermal and velocity jump strongly reduce the magnitude of entropy generation throughout the flow domain. As a result, the efficiency of the related physical system increases. A noticeable objective of this study is to give an open form solution of nonlinear field equations. The reduced recurative form of the governing equations presented gives the reader an opportunity to see the solution in open series form.
