Reading activity involves visual processing in nature. Compared with hearing people, visual processing may be more critical for deaf people. However, much less research has explored the impact of visual processing on the reading ability of deaf children, and the mechanism underlying this relationship is unclear. This study aimed to examine whether and how visual processing skills predict reading ability in elementary school deaf children in China. A total of 118 Chinese deaf children (mean age = 14.60 years) from grades 4-6 were tested on the tasks of visual-graphic processing, visual-orthographic processing, word segmentation, reading comprehension, and reading fluency. The results showed that after chronological age was controlled, visual-graphic processing and visual-orthographic processing significantly predicted Chinese deaf children's reading ability. Specifically, visual-orthographic processing played a mediating role in the effect of visual-graphic processing on reading ability, whereas word segmentation played a mediating role in the effect of visual-orthographic processing on reading ability. However, the mediating role of word segmentation, as well as the chain mediating effect of visual-orthographic processing and word segmentation in the influence of visual-graphic processing on reading ability, were not significant. These findings emphasized the importance of visual processing skills in reading activity and offered potential mechanisms underlying the contribution of visual processing skills to reading ability in Chinese deaf children.These findings emphasized the importance of visual processing skills in reading activity and offered potential mechanisms underlying the contribution of visual processing skills to reading ability in Chinese deaf children. No study has examined how child and maternal psychopathological difficulties and family factors contribute to the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of mothers of children with attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD). To investigate the impact of children's diagnosis of ADHD, children's and maternal psychopathology and significant sociodemographic variables of the children, parents and family on HRQOL of mothers of children with ADHD and those of children with typical development (TD) in Taiwan. Children with ADHD (n = 257) and children with typical development (n = 324) and their mothers were recruited from a psychiatric clinic of a medical center and 10 elementary schools and four high schools in northern Taiwan. Maternal HRQOL was assessed with the World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF, while the other factors were screened using the Chinese version of the Childhood Autism Spectrum Test for autistic traits, the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, version IV scale for ADHD symptoms, the Child Beildren with ADHD are warranted based on these findings.Screening for maternal HRQOL, depressive symptoms and family support systems and mental health services for mothers of children with ADHD are warranted based on these findings.The metal-binding characteristics of water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) emitted from biomass burning (BB, i.e., rice straw (RS) and corn straw (CS)) with Cu(II) under various pH conditions (i.e., 3, 4.5, and 6) were comprehensively investigated. Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) -PARAFAC analysis were applied to investigate the binding affinity and mechanism of BB WSOM. The results showed that pH was a sensitive factor affecting binding affinities of WSOM, and BB WSOMs were more susceptible to bind with Cu(II) at pH 6.0 than pH 4.5, followed by pH 3.0. Therefore, the Cu(II)-binding behaviors of BB WSOMs at pH 6.0 were then investigated in this study. The 2D-absorption-COS revealed that the preferential binding with Cu(II) was in the order short and long wavelengths (237-239 nm and 307-309 nm) > moderate wavelength (267-269 nm). The 2D-synchronous fluorescence-COS results suggested that protein-like substances generally exhibited a higher susceptibility and preferential interaction with Cu(II) than fulvic-like substances. EEM-PARAFAC analysis demonstrated that protein-like (C1) substances had a greater complexation ability than fulvic-like (C2) and humic-like (C3) substances for both BB WSOM. This indicated that protein-like substances within WSOM played dominant roles in the interaction with Cu(II). As a comparison, RS WSOM generally showed stronger complexation capacity than CS WSOM although they exhibited similar chemical properties and compositions. This suggested the occurrence of heterogeneous active metal-binding sites even within similar chromophores for different WSOM. The results enhanced our understanding of binding behaviors of BB WSOM with Cu(II) in relevant atmospheric environments.Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) play a vital role in attenuating contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) during potable water reuse. AOPs are conventionally performed by irradiating with a 254-nm low-pressure (LP) mercury-vapor (Hg) ultraviolet (UV) lamp along with chemical treatment. Compared with UV-C light treatment (200-280 nm), vacuum-UV (V-UV) light treatment (100-200 nm) is advantageous in terms of hydroxyl radical generation without the requirement for chemical treatment. This study assessed the potential of V-UV (172-nm Xe2 excimer or 185 + 254-nm LP-Hg) lamps on the destruction of two major CECs in potable water reuse, namely N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and 1,4-dioxane. Direct irradiation using UV254 nm or UV185+254 nm lamps achieved ≥94% removal of N-nitrosamines, including NDMA, at a UV dose of 900 mJ/cm2. In contrast, the Xe2 excimer lamp (UV172 nm) was less effective for N-nitrosamine removal, achieving up to 82% removal of NDMA. The removal of 1,4-dioxane by V-UV lamps at a UV dose of 900 mJ/cm2 reached 51% (UV172 nm) and 28% (UV185+254 nm), both of which results were superior to that obtained using a conventional UV254 nm lamp (10%).
