Summary
Fugacity models are crucial for predicting persistent organic pollutants (POPs) environmental fate. Research shows a shift towards understanding POPs distribution across media and long-distance transmission simulations.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Environmental Engineering
Background:
- Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant environmental challenges, necessitating accurate prediction and exposure assessment.
- Fugacity models are established tools for evaluating POPs' environmental behavior.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the research progress of fugacity models in predicting POPs' environmental fate and transport.
- To identify key research trends, influential institutions, and emerging areas in POPs research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 778 research articles from 1979-2020 using CiteSpace software.
- Analysis of publication country, institutional output, collaboration intensity, keyword co-occurrence, and co-citation clusters.
Main Results:
- The USA, Canada, and China are leading countries in POPs research.
- Polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are major research focuses.
- Emerging POPs and soil-air environment interactions are new research frontiers, with a shift towards distribution and transmission simulation.
Conclusions:
- Fugacity model research on POPs is primarily within environmental science and engineering, with limited interdisciplinarity and institutional collaboration.
- Research focus is evolving from pollutant persistence to distribution rules and long-distance transmission simulation.
- The development of regional grid models based on fugacity is ongoing.

01:12Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data
350
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

01:14Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
206
Drug disposition in the body is a complex process and can be studied using two major approaches: the model and the model-independent approaches.
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...

79
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

The vacuum level denotes the energy threshold required for an electron to escape from a material surface. It is usually positioned above the conduction band of a semiconductor and acts as a benchmark for comparing electron energies within various materials.
Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
