Abstract
Analysis of dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition and microbial characteristics is crucial for tracing the sources of rural black and odorous water bodies (BOWB). The aim of this study was to explore the DOM and microbial diversity and identify the primary environmental factors in BOWB from various pollution sources during different periods using EEMs-PARAFAC and Illumina sequencing. It was found that the physicochemical properties vary widely across different pollution types of BOWB, with higher overall content during the high-water period compared to the normal-water period. The types of dissolved organic matter in BOWB are Tyrosine proteins, Fulvic acid, Dissolved microbial metabolites, and Humic acid. During the normal-water period, DOM originates primarily from terrestrial sources in various water bodies. However, DOM affected by livestock and poultry waste and industrial effluents is influenced by both internal and external sources during periods of high water levels. In industrial waste-type BOWB, the biological sources of water are weak. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes were the dominant bacterial phyla. According to the redundancy analysis, pH (p = 0.047), Total nitrogen (TN) (p = 0.045), Organic carbon (OC) (p = 0.044), and Nickel (Ni) (p = 0.047) are the primary environmental factors influencing the composition of bacterial communities.

Abstract
Reverse osmosis (RO)-based treatment of municipal wastewater effluent allows for potable reuse, but this process generates reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) that needs further treatment before disposal. This study investigated the application of UV-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade nine contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from real ROC waste streams, using UV-only and UV-AOPs with hydrogen peroxide, free chlorine, and persulfate. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in ROC was characterized using fluorescence excitation emission matrix data and analyzed by a four-component parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis model. UV-only treatment showed considerable removal of CECs that displayed high values of quantum yields and molar absorption coefficients. UV-AOP treatment of ROC exhibited heavy scavenging of reactive species during CEC degradation. A probe-based approach established that hydroxyl radical was the dominant reactive species in all UV-AOPs. A kinetic analysis of PARAFAC components of DOM showed that the visible humic-like and protein-like components exhibited the higher reaction kinetics compared to UV humic-like and nutrient-like components. The strong linear correlation of protein-like component and seven of the nine CECs across multiple AOPs indicated that they have similar reactivity, enabling the establishment of chemical-reactivity based surrogates for prediction CEC fate in ROC wastes.

Abstract
As a vital type of light-absorbing aerosol, brown carbon (BrC) presents inherent associations with atmospheric photochemistry and climate change. However, the understanding of the chemical and optical properties of BrC is limited, especially in some resource-dependent cities with long heating periods in northwest China. This study showed that the annual average abundances of Water-soluble BrC (WS-BrC) were 9.33±7.42 and 8.69±6.29 µg/m3 in Baotou and Wuhai and the concentrations, absorption coefficient (Abs365), and mass absorption efficiency (MAE365) of WS-BrC presented significant seasonal patterns, with high values in the heating season and low values in the non-heating season; while showing opposite seasonal trends for the Absorption Ångström exponent (AAE300-400). Comparatively, the levels of WS-BrC in developing regions (such as cities in Asia) were higher than those in developed regions (such as cities in Europe and Australia), indicating the significant differences in energy consumption in these regions. By combining fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectra with the parallel factor (PARAFAC) model, humic-like (C1 and C2) and protein-like (C3) substances were identified, and accounted for 61.40%±4.66% and 38.6%±3.78% at Baotou, and 60.33%±6.29% and 39.67%±4.17% at Wuhai, respectively. The results of source apportionment suggested that the potential source regions of WS-BrC varied in heating vs. non-heating seasons and that the properties of WS-BrC significantly depended on primary emissions (e.g., combustion emissions) and secondary formation.

Abstract
This research investigates the use of excitation-emission matrix fluorescence (EEMF) in conjunction with chemometric models to rapidly identify and quantify adulteration in olive oil, a critical concern where sample availability is limited. Adulteration is simulated by blending soybean, peanut, and linseed oils into olive oil, creating diverse adulterated samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to the EEMF spectral data as an initial exploratory measure to cluster and differentiate adulterated samples. Spatial clustering enabled vivid visualization of the variations and trends in the spectra. The novel application of parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) for data decomposition in this paper focuses on unraveling correlations between the decomposed components and the actual adulterated components, which offers a novel perspective for accurately quantifying adulteration levels. Additionally, a comparative analysis was conducted between the PCA and PARAFAC methodologies. Our study not only unveils a new avenue for the quantitative analysis of adulterants in olive oil through spectral detection but also highlights the potential for applying these insights in practical, real-world scenarios, thereby enhancing detection capabilities for various edible oil samples. This promises to improve the detection of adulteration across a range of edible oil samples, offering significant contributions to food safety and quality assurance.

Abstract
In this work, excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) were used in association with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to assess biodiesel content in undiluted diesel-biodiesel blends (DBBs) without pre-sample preparation. EEMs were decomposed using the PARAFAC (EEMs-PARAFAC), and the loading values of the PARAFAC component as a function of biodiesel content in the blends were used to build an analytical model to quantify the biodiesel content in DBBs. The proposed model presenting a limit of detection (LOD) and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 2.5% and 11% w/w, respectively, successfully predicted the biodiesel content in the validation samples. The robustness of the model was confirmed by a close analysis of the root mean square error of prediction, standard error of prediction, relative standard deviation of prediction, and Bias. Therefore, an accurate and robust analytical model based on EEMs-PARAFAC was developed to quantify the biodiesel content in undiluted DBBs without sample preparation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND trans-Resveratrol (TR) is a well-known phytochemical compound with important biological properties. It can be recovered from agri-food by-products or wastes, such as vine shoots. Once recovered, its concentration should be measured, possibly in a green, non-destructive, and efficient manner. With these premises, this work aimed to explore the feasibility of excitation-emission fluorescence spectroscopy combined with chemometrics for the analysis of TR in raw extracts obtained from vine shoots. A total of 75 extracts were produced and analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography method with diode array detection (UPLC-DAD) and spectrofluorimetry. Then, the feasibility of two calibration strategies for TR quantitation was assessed - a parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC)-based calibration and the N-way partial least squares (NPLS) regression. RESULTS The extracts showed variable TR content, the excitation/emission maxima of which were at around 305/390 nm, respectively. The best PARAFAC-based calibration allowed a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 22.57 mg L-1 , and a relative prediction deviation (RPD) of 2.91 to be obtained but a large number of PARAFAC components should be considered to improve the predictions. The results of the NPLS regression were slightly better, with a RMSEP of 19.47 mg L-1 , and an RPD of 3.33 in the best case. CONCLUSION Fluorescence could be an alternative analytical technique to measure TR in complex samples. Chemometric tools allowed the identification of the TR signal in the fluorescence landscapes, which could be further used for its non-destructive quantitation. The need for a more accurate criterion for optimal PARAFAC complexity emerged. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Cover crops (CCs) are increasingly used in viticulture because they benefit the soil and the environment in many ways. This study investigated the extent to which the incorporation of CC residues altered organic matter (OM) and Cu dynamics in a Cu-contaminated vineyard topsoil. A 92-day incubation period was used to monitor changes over time in carbon mineralization, carbon hydrolytic enzyme activity, concentration and optical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM), and Cu solubility after the addition (or not) of two CC residues, oat or faba bean. The results revealed that adding CCs transitorily increased the concentration of DOM in soil solution, as well as the activity of C hydrolytic enzymes and C mineralization rates. DOM content was approximately two orders of magnitude higher in CC-amended soils than in the control soil on day 0, after which it gradually decreased to reach concentrations similar to those measured in the control soil on day 92. Analyses of DOM optical properties showed that its molecular weight and degree of humification increased over time with a decrease in its concentration. The close relationship between DOM and Cu concentrations in the soil solution suggests that degradation of CCs releases soluble forms of C capable of complexing and solubilizing Cu, and hence that incorporating CC residues can transitorily increase the solubility of Cu in vineyard topsoils. Despite their different C:N ratios, oat and faba bean had almost the same effect on Cu dynamics, implying that C inputs played a prominent role in explaining the interactions between OM and Cu within the timeframe of our experiment. In conclusion, this study enabled recommendations on how to mitigate the risk of Cu ecotoxicity associated with incorporating CCs in Cu-contaminated vineyard soils.

Abstract
The contamination of jet fuel has gained attention in the past years as a notable factor in aircraft accidents. Identifying the contamination sources is still a challenge, especially when they have a similar composition to the fuel, such as kerosene solvent (KS). A novel analytical methodology was developed by combining a set of excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence to area constrained multivariate curve resolution with alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) and PARAllel FACtor (PARAFAC) analysis, in order to identify KS in blends with JET-A1. For this purpose, a dataset with 50 samples (KS and JET-A1 blends, 2.0-100% v/v) was used to build the multivariate models. Both PARAFAC and MCR-ALS allowed fuel quantification with 4.64% and 3.46% RMSEP, respectively; both models (PARAFAC and MCR-ALS) could quantify KS with high accuracy (RMSEP <5.36%). In addition, MCR-ALS model was able to recover the pure spectral profiles of KS, JET-A1 and interferers. GC-MS data of the samples proved the composition similarities between both petroleum distillates, thus being inefficient for identifying the contamination. These results indicate that the development of multivariate models using EEM was the key for contributing with a new low-cost and accurate method for on-line screening of jet fuel contamination.

Abstract
Yerba mate, a popular plant consumed mainly as an infusion, possesses nutritional and medicinal properties attributed to its secondary metabolites. This study aimed to develop strategies to elucidate the phenolic composition of yerba mate samples from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) was performed, and the extracted compounds were characterized using ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS), molecular fluorescence and high-pressure liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD). Chemometric analysis, including parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and principal component analysis (PCA) explored metabolite profiles and identify patterns. PARAFAC modelling of the molecular fluorescence results revealed higher pigment content in Brazilian samples, while other countries' samples exhibited higher phenolic content. PCA modeling of HPLC-DAD results indicated that cultivated yerba mate contained higher chlorogenic acids levels, and samples from Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay exhibited higher concentrations of chlorogenic acids and flavonoids.

Abstract
Monitoring and prevention of the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) is paramount in drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) to ensure human health safety. This review provides an overview of how fluorescence techniques are developed to predict DBP formation and to evaluate the reduction of fluorescence components and DBPs following individual DWTP processes. Evidence has shown that common DBPs, nitrogenous DBPs and specific emerging DBPs exhibit positive linear relationships with terrestrial, anthropogenic, tryptophan-like, and eutrophic humic-like fluorescence. Due to the interrelationships of both regulated and emerging DBP types with fluorescence components, the limitations arise when attempting to predict emerging DBPs solely through linear relationships. Monitoring the reduction of DBP precursors after each treatment process can be achieved by studying the relationship between fluorescence components and DBPs. During the coagulation process, highest reduction rates are observed for terrestrial humic-like fluorescence. Advanced treatments such as granular, powdered, silver-impregnated activated carbon, magnetic ion exchange resins, and reverse osmosis, have revealed a significant reduction of fluorescent DBP precursors, ranging from 53% to 100%. During chlorination, the reduction rate follows the order: terrestrial humic-like > microbial humic-like > protein/tryptophan-like fluorescence. This review provides insights into the reduction of fluorescence signatures following individual DWTP processes, which offers information regarding DBP formation. These insights could assist in optimizing the treatment process to more effectively manage DBP formation. For the identification of emerging DBP generation, the utilization of advanced models is imperative to precisely predict emerging DBPs and to more accurately trace DBP precursors within DWTPs.

Abstract
This study explored the interaction among the components of dissolved organic matter (DOM), environmental factors and oxytetracycline (OTC) tolerant bacteria during chicken manure composting using Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. The results revealed that the OTC residues in chicken manure may affect the transformation between the protein-like component (C1) and humus-like component (C2 and C3) during composting. The transformation of DOM components under the OTC stress was indirect by affecting the microbial community activity. The OTC tolerant bacteria that still exist after the high temperature period of composting had a significant positive correlation between the humification process. The correlations of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN), and core OTC tolerant bacteria with DOM components, which enhanced the cooperative function of DOM component transformation. To clarify the influence of OTC residue on the humification process can promote the composting carbon fixation and improve composting quality.

Abstract
Wine is a temperature, light, and oxygen-sensitive product, so its physicochemical characteristics can be modified by variations in temperature and time when samples are either sampled, transported, and/or analyzed. These changes can alter its metabolomic fingerprinting, impacting further classification tasks and quality/quantitative analyses. For these reasons, the aim of this work is to compare and analyze the information obtained by different chemometric methods used in a complementary form (PCA, ASCA, and PARAFAC) to study 1H-NMR spectra variations of four red wine samples kept at different temperatures and time lapses. In conjunction, distinctive changes in the spectra are satisfactorily tracked with each chemometric method. The chemometric analyses reveal variations related to the wine sample, temperature, and time, as well as the interactions among these factors. Moreover, the magnitude and statistical significance of the effects are satisfactorily accounted for by ASCA, while the time-related effects variations are encountered by PARAFAC modeling. Acetaldehyde, formic acid, polyphenols, carbohydrates, lactic acid, ethyl lactate, methanol, choline, succinic acid, proline, acetoin, acetic acid, 1,3-propanediol, isopentanol, and some amino acids are identified as some of the metabolites which present the most important variations.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess pollution and daily-to-seasonal dynamics of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and CO2 degassing flux concerning the fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) from tropical lakes. A membrane-enclosed pCO2 sensor and water quality multimeter analyzer was deployed to continuously record daily and seasonal variations in pCO2 and CO2 degassing flux in three lakes in Savar, Dhaka. During both wet and dry seasons, all lake water was supersaturated with CO2 in contrast to the atmospheric equilibrium (~400 μatm). The pCO2 values in the lake water during the dry season were relatively low in comparison, and the pCO2 levels in the wet season were much higher due to external inputs of organic matter from watersheds and direct inputs of CO2 from soils or wetlands. The estimated water-to-air CO2 degassing flux in the different levels of polluted lakes varies with the pollution context. Study areas calculated the carbon flux and three lakes released respectively 86.75×107g CO2 year-1, 13.8×107g CO2 year-1, and 9.17×107g CO2 year-1. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis was used to investigate the distributions of fluorescent components in DOM. EEM-PARAFAC analysis identified humic-like, fulvic-like, protein-like, and more tyrosine-like FDOM components and their environmental dynamics. Terrestrial DOM may provide inputs to the terrestrial humic-like component in the lake water. In contrast, the biological activity of plankton-derived FDOM is the most likely source for the autochthonous humic-like component. FDOM and DO concentrations have negative correlations with pCO2, indicating that when the FDOM and DO level is decreased, the amount of pCO2 values increases.

Abstract
Biochar has widely used in soil pollution remediation due to its advantages of high efficiency and environmental sustainability. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) released by biochar plays a non-negligible role in the migration and transformation of pollutants in environment, and its composition was regarded as main impact factor. In this study, 28 biochar were investigated to detect the effect of pyrolysis temperature and feedstock on DOM content and components. Results showed that the content of DOM released from biochar at low pyrolysis temperatures (300-400 ℃) was higher than that from high pyrolysis temperatures (500-600 ℃). In addition, the specific UV-Visible absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA254) results expressed that DOM from peanut shell biochar (PSBC), rice husk biochar (RHBC) and bamboo biochar (BBC) had higher humification at high temperatures. Moreover, one fulvic acid-like (C2) and two humic acid-like (C1, C3) substances were main fluorescent components of biochar-derived DOM identified by parallel factor analysis based on excitation emission matrices fluorescence spectroscopies (EEM-PARAFAC). With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, humic acid substances content gradually decreased. The correlation analysis results revealed that pyrolysis temperatures and O/C, H/C, DOM content, the biological index (BIX), humification index (HIX), C1% and C3% was negatively correlated (p < 0.001). Thus, the pyrolysis temperatures take important roles in composition of DOM released from biochar, and this research would provide a reference for the application of biochar in the environment.

Abstract
Functional dissociation of brain neural activity induced by opening or closing the eyes has been well established. However, how the temporal dynamics of the underlying neuronal modulations differ between these eye conditions during movement-related behaviours is less known. Using a robotic-assisted motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI BCI), we measured neural activity over the motor regions with electroencephalography (EEG) in a stroke survivor during his longitudinal rehabilitation training. We investigated lateralized oscillatory sensorimotor rhythm modulations while the patient imagined moving his hemiplegic hand with closed and open eyes to control an external robotic splint. In order to precisely identify the main profiles of neural activation affected by MI with eyes-open (MIEO) and eyes-closed (MIEC), a data-driven approach based on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) tensor decomposition was employed. Using the proposed framework, a set of narrow-band, subject-specific sensorimotor rhythms was identified; each of them had its own spatial and time signature. When MIEC trials were compared with MIEO trials, three key narrow-band rhythms whose peak frequencies centred at ∼8.0 Hz, ∼11.5 Hz, and ∼15.5 Hz, were identified with differently modulated oscillatory dynamics during movement preparation, initiation, and completion time frames. Furthermore, we observed that lower and higher sensorimotor oscillations represent different functional mechanisms within the MI paradigm, reinforcing the hypothesis that rhythmic activity in the human sensorimotor system is dissociated. Leveraging PARAFAC, this study achieves remarkable precision in estimating latent sensorimotor neural substrates, aiding the investigation of the specific functional mechanisms involved in the MI process.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix of periphyton has complex structural and chemical composition regulating metal transfer within biofilms with consequences for metal transfer to aquatic food webs. We investigated which metal species were retained in the loosely (LB) and the tightly bound (TB) fractions of the periphyton matrix from three pristine lakes at different growth stages. We measured the fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) composition with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and the co-occurrence of essential and non-essential metals with FDOM in the two matrix fractions. The LB and TB fractions of periphyton had distinct fluorescence composition from the water column. The PARAFAC model identified five components, including two (C2 and C4) appearing to be of periphytic origin. The humic-like C2 was almost exclusive to periphyton and the tryptophan-like C4, associated to biofilm phototrophy, represented up to 47.0 ± 7.3 % of total fluorescence in the LB fraction. Most metals had significant positive relationships with four FDOM components in the LB fraction while C2 was the only component in the TB fraction to show such significant relationships. Components in the LB fraction seemed to act as scavengers for metals, preventing them from reaching the cellular fraction, while C2 from the TB fraction was likely promoting the bioavailability of essential metals for microorganisms inside periphyton. This study highlights the contrasting roles of the extracellular matrix on metal mobility beyond the usually proposed protection mechanisms. We suggest an experimental model for the study of metal regulation processes of the periphytic extracellular polymeric substances with a focus on the components produced by microorganisms within periphyton and their distribution in the different matrix fractions.

Abstract
Although spectroscopic methods provide a fast and cost-effective means of monitoring dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in natural and engineered water systems, the prediction accuracy of these methods is limited by the complex relationship between optical properties and DOC concentration. In this study, we developed DOC prediction models using multiple linear/log-linear regression and feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) and investigated the effectiveness of spectroscopic properties, such as fluorescence intensity and UV absorption at 254 nm (UV254), as predictors. Optimum predictors were identified based on correlation analysis to construct models using single and multiple predictors. We compared the peak-picking and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) methods for selecting appropriate fluorescence wavelengths. Both methods had similar prediction capability (p-values >0.05), suggesting PARAFAC was not necessary for choosing fluorescence predictors. Fluorescence peak T was identified as a more accurate predictor than UV254. Combining UV254 and multiple fluorescence peak intensities as predictors further improved the prediction capability of the models. The ANN models outperformed the linear/log-linear regression models with multiple predictors, achieving higher prediction accuracy (peak-picking: R2 = 0.8978, RMSE = 0.3105 mg/L; PARAFAC: R2 = 0.9079, RMSE = 0.2989 mg/L). These findings suggest the potential to develop a real-time DOC concentration sensor based on optical properties using an ANN for signal processing.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) can affect phytoplankton and its photosynthetic performance in many but often in negative ways. Phytoplankton is an important source of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems, but the impact of MPs on the algal production of DOM is poorly known. We investigated the impacts of polyvinyl chloride MPs on the growth and DOM production by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii microalgae in a 28-day-long experiment. During the exponential growth phase of C. reinhardtii, MPs slightly affected algal growth and DOM production. At the end of experiment, MPs decreased the biomass of C. reinhardtii by 43 % in the treatment with MPs exposed to simulated solar radiation prior the experiment (light-aged) and more than in the treatment with virgin MPs. The light-aged MPs decreased algal DOM production by 38 % and modified the chemical composition of DOM. According to spectroscopic analyses, the light-aged MPs increased aromaticity, average molecular weight and fluorescence of DOM produced by C. reinhardtii. The elevated fluorescence was associated with humic-like components identified by a 5-component parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) from the excitation-emission matrices. We conclude that although MPs can leach DOM to aquatic ecosystems, they potentially modify the aquatic DOM more by interfering with the algal production of DOM and changing the composition of produced DOM.

Abstract
Interpolation of the scattering areas in fluorescence excitation-emission matrices is a useful preprocessing method in fluorescence spectroscopy and data modelling. Commonly used row-by-row interpolation using piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomials smoother (PCHIP), however, frequently leads to artifacts because it does not make any use of the information in the other dimension. We have suggested the way of constructing the penalty matrices for Whittaker smoothing that removed one of the main sources of difference between the axis of multiparametric signal - the grid step size - thus making it possible to reduce the number of parameters to optimize. We have compared Whittaker smoother with various surface interpolation methods, including LOESS, Kriging, multilevel B-spline approximation, and PCHIP for the purpose of data preprocessing before PARAFAC modelling of fluorescence signal on a model dataset. The two leaders by signal reconstruction and reconstruction of PARAFAC loadings are LOESS and Whittaker smoothing; the latter is additionally shown to have fundamentally interpretable parameters, which are easier to optimise for the whole dataset. Moreover, Whittaker keeps the shape of the signal and is resistant to variations in data structure and noise level that is very important in numerous applications. We also tested smoothers performance for Åsmund Rinnan fluorescence dataset and the high performance of Whittaker was proved. We can recommend the Whittaker smoothing as a perfect tool for interpolation of scattering areas in florescence spectra of seawaters with low signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract
Humic-like substances (HLS) are molecules extracted in an alkaline medium from different materials that have not been subjected to the natural process of humification that occurs in the soil. HLS have the potential to be used as organic fertilizers due to their ability to incorporate micronutrients such as Cu(II) and Co(II); in addition, they represent an alternative for the remediation of contaminated areas due to their high affinity for metals. HLS can be extracted from hydrochar (HC) but only with low yields of approximately 5%. Therefore, the present study aimed to increase the amount of HLS extracted from the HC produced from byproducts of the sugarcane industry through the oxidation of HC with HNO3. HLS extracted from oxidized and unoxidized HC were characterized by CHNS analysis and 13C CPMAS NMR. The interaction between HLS and Cu(II) was studied by molecular fluorescence quenching (EEM-PARAFAC) and applying the Ryan and Weber complexation model. The oxidation of HC with HNO3 allowed high yields of extracted HLS of above 80%. The oxidation carried out with 30% HNO3 for 2 h showed the best result, since the HLS30%(2h) were extracted with a very high yield (88.3%) in a short period of time. Oxidation promoted a decrease in HLS aromaticity and an increase in oxygen and nitrogen groups. HLS showed high affinity for Cu(II), as evidenced by the high logK values (between 5.5 and 5.9). HLS extracted from oxidized HCs showed higher complexation capacity due to the greater incorporation of the oxygenated groups promoted by oxidation, which are fundamental during the interaction with metallic cations. Therefore, the oxidation of HC substantially increased the production of HLS, representing a big advance for the production of carbonaceous materials with higher added value from byproducts of the sugarcane industry produced on a large scale in Brazil.

Abstract
This study applied a method for estimating chlorine decay constant (k) in urban water distribution systems using fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy-parallel factor analysis (FEEM-PARAFAC), considering that it accounts for the influence of organic matter in the target area. The simultaneous impacts of seasonal variations on chlorine consumption and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition were investigated for a year in three full-scale water distribution systems in I city (areas S, K, and G). Bulk decay constants (kb) were obtained through bottle tests, and the kb value was observed to differ by season and significantly affected by temperature. It exhibited its highest value, 0.794 d-1, in summer at area G. As a result of analyses through F-EEM-PARAFAC, it was determined that the components of the target raw water were humic-like and tryptophan-like. The quantitative analysis of organic substances through PARAFAC revealed that area G had the highest score (C1+C2) than other areas. 11.568, 10.578, and 11.771 in summer at areas S, K, and G, respectively. The model equations were derived such that the significant (R2 = 0.85-0.95) correlation between the C1 and C2 model scores and total chlorine decay constants (kt) verified via PARAFAC analysis of the target raw water was considered. Furthermore, a method for obtaining the wall decay constants at a target point based on the correlation equation was investigated.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays key roles in species-distribution of contaminants and the biogeochemical cycle of carbon in ecosystems. Riparian zone is the representative of water-land ecotone and controls the DOM exchange between water and land. However, the variance of DOM in different landcover areas of an urban river riparian zone is unknown. In this study, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy coupled with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was applied to character dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions in four types of landcover riparian areas (natural forest, artificial forest, semi-natural grassland, and cropland) of Puhe River and trace latent factors. Soil samples were collected at 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, 40-60 cm, and 60-80 cm. The results showed that soil DOM components and humification varied between forests with grassland and cropland samples, and soil humification was obviously higher in the forest samples than that in the grassland and cropland samples. In the natural and artificial forest soils, the humic/fulvic-like were the dominant fractions of DOM, whose variations were smaller than the protein-like with soil depths. However, the tyrosine-like was the representative component in the grassland and cropland soils, whose variation was smaller than the humus substances. According to the PLS-SEM, the DOM components and humification were affected by soil physiochemical properties and DOM sources. The humification in the forest soils had a positive correlation with tryptophan-like, which derived from blended source of the autochthonous and terrigenous. Nevertheless, a positive correlation was observed between humification and humus substances, which could derive from microbial degradation of tyrosine-like, in the grassland and cropland soils. Moreover, the soil physiochemical properties were negatively related to DOM components in all soil samples, which could affect indirectly soil humification. Therefore, EEM combined with PARAFAC and PLS-SEM might be an effective method to investigate DOM fractions and trace the latent factors in different landcover areas of the riparian zone.

Abstract
Pesticide residues in vegetables are potentially toxic components to humans and can cause serious health problems. To remove pesticide residues from fresh agricultural products and improve consumer food safety, various pesticide removal methods have been investigated over the past decades. In this study, the effectiveness of laboratory and pilot scale ultrasonic cleaning on the removal of boscalid and pyraclostrobin residues from lettuce was examined. 2D fluorescence spectroscopy, 3D fluorescence spectroscopy represented by excitation-emission matrix (EEM), and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) were used to characterize and discriminate the fluorescence signatures of these pesticides in the cleaning water to determine the effectiveness of the ultrasonic cleaning method as a function of the level of pesticide removal. The 2D fluorescence results showed that the rate of removal of boscalid by ultrasonics at the laboratory scale increased with the cleaning time. The ultrasonic treatment showed a higher cleaning efficiency compared to only soaking in distilled water for 10 min. The same trends were observed at the pilot scale. The EEM also showed differences in the concentration of pesticides removed by ultrasonication between the different parts of the lettuce, the concentration was higher in the upper part than the lower part. This study showed that ultrasonication is an effective technique for the removal of pesticide residues on lettuce, and it also showed the significant potential of fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with PARAFAC for the discrimination and characterization of pesticides.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a heterogeneous mixture of dissolved material found ubiquitously in aquatic systems and dissolved organic nitrogen is one of its most important components. We hypothesised nitrogen species and salinity intrusions affect the DOM changes. Here, using the nitrogen rich Minjiang River as an easily accessible natural laboratory 3 field surveys with 9 sampling sites (S1-S9) were conducted in November 2018, April and August 2019. The excitation emission matrices (EEMs) of DOM were explored with parallel factor (PARAFAC) and cosine-histogram similarity analysis. Four indices including fluorescence index (FI), biological index (BIX), humification index (HIX) and the fluorescent DOM (FDOM) were calculated and the impact of physicochemical properties was assessed. The results suggested that the highest salinities of 6.15, 2.98 and 10.10, during each campaign corresponded to DTN concentrations of 119.29-240.71, 149.12-262.42 and 88.27-155.29 μmol·L-1, respectively. PARAFAC analysis revealed the presence of tyrosine-like proteins (C1), tryptophan-like proteins or a combination of the peak N and tryptophan-like fluorophore (C2) and the humic-like material (C3). The EEMs in the upstream reach (i.e. S1-S3) were complex with larger spectra ranges, higher intensities and similar similarity. Subsequently, the fluorescence intensity of three components decreased significantly with low similarity of EEMs (i.e. S4-S7). At the downstream, the fluorescence levels dispersed significantly and no obvious peaks were seen except in August. In addition, FI and HIX increased, while BIX and FDOM decreased from upstream to downstream. The salinity positively correlated with FI and HIX, and negatively related to BIX and FDOM. Besides, the elevated DTN had a significant effect on the DOM fluorescence indices. Altogether, salinity intrusion and elevated nitrogen are relevant for the distribution of the DOM, which is helpful for the water management tracing the DOM source according to the on-line monitoring of salinity and nitrogen in estuaries.

Abstract
The direction and quantity of surface water - groundwater interaction (SGI) in alpine-arid zones can be tracked using multiple tracers. However, few studies have examined whether the optical indices of dissolved organic matter (DOM) can also track SGI. This study used excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC) to reveal the optical variations in dissolved organic matter (DOM) in groundwater and surface water with various SGIs in the Datonghe watershed. The results showed that the absorbance spectral indices of DOM did not vary with SGI, whereas DOM fluorescence varied with SGI. PARAFAC indicated that groundwater predominantly recharged by precipitation had significantly lower humic-like (C2 and C3) fluorescence than groundwater predominantly recharged by riverine water. Since humic-like substances were more likely to be retained in the aqueous phase than protein-like substances, significantly fewer protein-like substances (C4) were introduced when surface water was recharged to groundwater. This suggests that C4 can be used as an effective indicator to identify the SGI process from surface water to groundwater. Based on the principal component analysis of DOM and hydrochemical indicators, it was concluded that traditional chemical tracers were significantly and positively correlated with humic-like substances C2 and C3. Given that C3 is more stable and persistent in the environment, it could be used to track SGI processes midstream of the watershed. The findings of this study will assist in accurately identifying the processes and mechanisms of SGI on a regional scale and provide a basis for future water resource management and the protection of water ecosystems.

Abstract
Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) plays an important role in soil metal sequestration in coastal wetlands. Additionally, it can release dissolved organic matter (GDOM) in water-soaked condition. The purpose of this study was to clarify the variation of GRSP's heavy metal immobilisation capacity at soil profiles of coastal wetland, and explore the compositional characteristics of GDOM and its influence on the heavy metals' environmental behaviour. The results indicated that the metal immobilisation capacity of GRSP decreased with increasing burial depth. The contributions of GRSP to soil Cr, As, and Pb were higher in both mangrove soils (K. obovata and A. marina forests) than in the mudflat. Oxygen-containing functional groups of GRSP (CO, -COO-, etc.) played a positive role in heavy metals accumulation. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that high soil pH was not conducive to the enrichment of heavy metals by GRSP. Besides, the concentrations of GRSP-Fe showed a significant positive correlation with the concentrations of other metals (Cu, As, and Pb) in GRSP. It is speculated that the Fe minerals in GRSP contributed the enrichment of heavy metals. Based on PARAFAC modelling, four fluorescent components of GDOM were identified, including three humic-like fluorescent components and one tyrosine-like fluorescent component. The contributions of GDOM to GRSP-bound heavy metals fluctuated between 4.05 % and 88.80 %, which could enhance the fluidity of heavy metals in water and weaken the soil heavy metal immobilisation capacity of GRSP. High salinity exerted an inhibitory effect on the heavy metal content of the GDOM. This study comprehensively explored the potential of GRSP to immobilise heavy metals in wetland soils and highlighted the potential heavy metal risks associated with the GDOM component in water, which could contribute to the multidimensional assessment and control of heavy metal pollution in coastal wetlands.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the origin, quantity, and composition of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from two urbanized watersheds (Cikapundung and Cimahi River), examine how CDOM compounds and absorbances change along the process of two different conventional WTPs (WTP Dago and Cimahi) using PARAFAC, and identify absorbance as potential surrogate parameters for CDOM compounds. Samples were collected from intake, secondary treatment, and filter outlets. PARAFAC was conducted based on two data scenarios: (1) from rainy and dry seasons in Cikapundung river and WTP Dago and (2) from the two rivers and two WTPs during rainy season. Tryptophan-like (C1A) and humic-like (C2A) compounds were identified based on scenario-1 analysis. For scenario-2, humic-like (C1B), peak-M (C2B), and tryptophan-like (C3B) were the main compounds. CDOM compound quantity is consistent with the fluorescence index (FI) and biological index (BIX) which confirmed sewage and animal manure pollution in both watersheds. The best overall removal of CDOM compound occurred in WTP Dago in rainy season. The high concentration of tryptophan-like in Cikapundung River in dry season and in Cimahi River in rainy season has worsen the WTP capability to reduce CDOM. Scenario-1 has shown that in WTP Dago, the potential surrogate parameter for C1A was A240 in rainy season (r = 0.60; p < 0.01) and A410 in dry season (r = - 0.43, p < 0.05). Based on scenario-2, for the WTP Dago in rainy season, C1B strongly correlated with A254 (r = 0.86; p < 0.01), C2B has the strongest correlation with A298 (r = 0.93; p < 0.01), and C3B correlated well with A240 (r = 0.59; p < 0.01). In WTP Cimahi, during rainy season, all compounds correlated well with all measured absorbances, with the strongest correlation with A298.

Abstract
Ecological water replenishment is considered to be an important project to adjust river ecosystems with water shortages and degradation, and its impact on the water quality of the target river section deserves attention. By investigating the characteristics of inorganic ions and organic components of the Beijing section of the Yongding River (YDR) from upstream to downstream, the sources of inorganic ions and dissolved organic matter (DOM) during an ecological water replenishment event were analysed and discussed. This study illustrated the hydrochemical response to different supplemental water sources in three sections of the YDR (mountain gorge section (MGS), urban plain section (UPS), and suburb plain section (SPS)). The results showed that the total dissolved solids (TDS) and ion concentrations were significantly different (p < 0.001) in the three river sections due to different supplemental water sources. The highest concentration of TDS was found in the UPS (870.92 mg/L) replenished by reclaimed water, while the lowest concentration of TDS was found in the SPS (306.95 mg/L) replenished by the water of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWD). Despite the differences in the water sources of replenishment, the optical parameters of DOM and fluorescent components showed similar protein-like dominated endogenous source characteristics in the three river sections of the YDR, which was due to the influence of reservoir water (MGS and SPS) and reclaimed water (UPS). Our study emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of different water sources on the water replenishment process, which provides a scientific reference for the management of ecological water replenishment.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of environmental contaminants released into the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources that are associated with carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic health effects. Many remediation strategies for the treatment of PAH contaminated material, including bioremediation, can lead to the formation of toxic transformation products. Analytical techniques for PAHs and PAH transformation products often require extensive sample preparation including solvent extraction and concentration, chromatographic separation, and mass spectrometry to identify and quantify compounds of interest. Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescent spectroscopy paired with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) is an approach for analyzing PAHs that eliminates the need for extensive sample preparation and separation techniques before analysis. However, this technique has rarely been applied to monitoring PAH biotransformation and formation of PAH metabolites. The objectives of this research were to compare an established targeted analytical method to two-dimensional fluorescent spectroscopy and combined EEM-PARAFAC methods to monitor phenanthrene degradation by a bacterial pure culture, Mycobacterium Strain ELW1, identify and quantify phenanthrene transformation products, and derive kinetic constants for phenanthrene degradation and metabolite formation. Both phenanthrene and its primary transformation product, trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, were identified and quantified with the EEM-PARAFAC method. The value of the EEM-PARAFAC method was demonstrated in the superiority of sensitivity and accuracy of quantification to two-dimensional fluorescent spectroscopy. Quantification of targets and derivation of kinetic constants using the EEM-PARAFAC method were validated with an established gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to use an EEM-PARAFAC method to monitor, identify, and quantify both PAH biodegradation and PAH metabolite formation by a bacterial pure culture.

Abstract
The seasonal changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM), and its correlation with the release of internal nutrients during the annual cycle of cyanobacteria in the eutrophic Lake Chaohu, China, were investigated from four sampling periods between November 2020 and July 2021. The DOM fluorescence components were identified as protein-like C1, microbial humic-like C2, and terrestrial humic-like C3. The highest total fluorescence intensity (FT) of DOM in sediments during the incubation stage is due to the decomposition and degradation of cyanobacteria remains. The lowest humification of DOM and the highest proportion of C1 in waters during the initial cyanobacterial growth indicate that fresh algae are the main source. The highest molecular weight of DOM and FT of the C2 in sediments during cyanobacterial outbreaks indicate the concurrent deposition of undegraded cyanobacterial remains and microbial degradation. The components of DOM are affected mainly by the dissolved total phosphorus in waters, while the temperature drives the annual cycle of cyanobacteria. The decreasing C1 in sediments and increasing nutrients in waters from the cyanobacterial incubation to outbreak indicate that mineralization of algal organic matter contributes importantly to the release of internal nutrients, with the strongest release of phosphorus observed during the early growth of cyanobacteria. The humic-like C2 and C3 components could also affect the dynamics of internal phosphorus through the formation of organic colloids and organic-inorganic ligands. The results show that the degradation of DOM leads to nutrients release and thus supports the continuous growth of cyanobacteria in eutrophic Lake Chaohu.

Abstract
Organic matter (OM) quantity, quality, and nutrient dynamics within twelve shallow lakes in the Czech Republic were assessed in the context of catchment soil pH and iron (Fe) concentration. The catchments of the lakes were classified into two categories: (i) slightly acidic (soil pH = 5.1-6.3) with Fe-rich soils (H_Fe; Fe = 315-344 mg kg-1 in Mehlich 3 extract); and (ii) neutral (soil pH = 6.8-7.6) with Fe-poor soils (L_Fe; Fe = 126-259 mg kg-1 in Mehlich 3 extract). The quality of OM in the two lake types was characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, fluorescence, and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy). We show that dissolved nutrient and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, as well as the amount of aromatic and protein-like compounds in the water column and sediment porewater were significantly (p < 0.01) lower in the H_Fe lakes compared to the waterbodies located within L_Fe catchments. The FTIR analyses of the H_Fe sediments contained higher relative concentrations of aromatic compounds with hydroxyl-containing functional groups and carbohydrates, while more aliphatic and oxidised OM was found in the L_Fe lake sediments. These results suggest that the pH value of catchment soils and, particularly, their Fe content have profound geochemical effects on the mobility of OM and nutrients in the sediments of recipient waters. Because the OM-Fe association stabilises OM in sediments, waterbodies within L_Fe catchments are likely more vulnerable to increasing eutrophication and oxygen depletion compared to those in H_Fe catchments and this has important implications for water quality management, risk assessment, and predictions of aquatic ecosystem vulnerability under conditions of accelerating climate change.

Abstract
Rivers and estuaries are the main links between continents and oceans. The Paraíba do Sul River is among the most important rivers of the southeastern Brazilian region, carrying an average of 0.08 Tg of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to the ocean but has been facing significant changes in river discharge. In this study, we aimed to provide insights into the sources and transformations of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) sources across a salinity gradient under changing river discharge scenarios. Three spatial surveys were performed covering the entire salinity gradient of the main estuarine channel and surrounding mangrove waters under contrasting river discharge (178 to 1240 m3 s-1), and diel sampling was conducted in the mangrove tidal creek. The characterization of DOM through the parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) model identified six components across the river-ocean gradient and mangrove creek: terrestrial origin (C1 - fulvic acid and C2 and C3 - humic-like), protein-like (C4), tryptophan-like (C5), and tyrosine-like (C6). Our results showed a shift in DOM composition and contribution along the salinity gradient, from terrestrial (C3) to autochthonous (C5 and C6) signatures. The October-17 dry campaign was characterized by a higher proportion of microbial protein-like component C4 and a lower contribution of humic-like components compared to February-17 and March-18 across the salinity gradient with an increase in the mixing zone. The DOM compositions of the February 17 dry and March 18 wet campaigns were similar. Additionally, the March-18 wet campaign, marked by the highest river discharge, showed higher inputs of terrestrial DOM (C1-C3 components) compared to February-17 in the estuary, which allowed DOM to be transported rather than transformed. The mangrove diel study showed that tidal fluctuations are also an important driver of carbon input to the mangrove creek with a possible impact on DOM composition in estuarine waters.

Abstract
River-to-lake transitional areas are biogeochemically active ecosystems that can alter the amount and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) as it moves through the aquatic continuum. However, few studies have directly measured carbon processing and assessed the carbon budget of freshwater rivermouths. We compiled measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and DOM in several water column (light and dark) and sediment incubation experiments conducted in the mouth of the Fox river (Fox rivermouth) upstream from Green Bay, Lake Michigan. Despite variation in the direction of DOC fluxes from sediments, we found that the Fox rivermouth was a net sink of DOC where water column DOC mineralization outweighed the release of DOC from sediments at the rivermouth scale. Although we found DOM composition also changed during our experiments, alterations in DOM optical properties were largely independent of the direction of sediment DOC fluxes. We found a consistent decrease in humic-like and fulvic-like terrestrial DOM and a consistent increase in the overall microbial composition of rivermouth DOM during our incubations. Moreover, greater ambient total dissolved phosphorus concentrations were positively associated with the consumption of terrestrial humic-like, microbial protein-like, and more recently derived DOM but had no effect on bulk DOC in the water column. Unexplained variation indicates that other environmental controls and water column processes affect the processing of DOM in this rivermouth. Nonetheless, the Fox rivermouth appears capable of substantial DOM transformation with implications for the composition of DOM entering Lake Michigan.

Abstract
The properties of leachate from refuse transfer stations (RTSs) in rural China were indefinite. In this study, a total of 14 leachate samples from RTSs in nine provinces of China were characterized for their pH, electric conductivity, chromaticity, concentration of organic substances, nitrogen distribution, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organic phosphorous pesticide, and heavy metals. The structural composition of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) was also determined. To evaluate the leachate pollution potential in this study, a leachate pollution index was derived and used. Chromium (Cr) was the most polluting heavy metal present in rural leachate. Ethanol and ethyl acetate were the most frequently detected VOCs at high concentrations. Three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectra were used to characterize the FDOM. Three components, tryptophan (C1), tyrosine-like (C2), and humic acid- and fulvic acid-like (C3) substances, were identified from all 14 samples. Tryptophan was the major component of FDOM and present in 45.7% of the samples by calculating the fluorescence intensity percentage, on average. Pearson correlations revealed that the fluorescence intensity of C1 and C3 was strongly related to soluble chemical oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen carbon, while C2 had significant positive correlations with ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus of the solid waste. This study provided detailed data and findings that could serve as a preliminary basis for broadening options for the treatment and management of leachate from rural RTSs in China.

Abstract
Stormwater wetlands play a crucial role in the urban environment, providing many ecosystem services. In this work, a stormwater wetland was developed to study the effects on the removal of pollutants and the characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) under different operating conditions, such as hydraulic retention time (HRT) and water depth. The results showed that the stormwater wetland exhibited excellent pollutant-removal performance, such as NH4+_N, TN, TP, COD, and suspended solids (SS). The removal rates for these substances reached 79.1%, 73.2%, 89.0%, 84.3%, 80.4%, and 73.77, respectively, with 24 h of HRT and 15 cm of water depth. An increase in HRT can improve the removal rates of TN, TP, COD, and TOC. The removal rates for these parameters decreased with increasing water depth, though, except for TP; the UV-VIS spectral parameters indicated that an obvious decrease occurred in the degrees of humification and aromaticity of DOM with increasing HRT and water depth after the stormwater wetland treatment. Parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis identified six fluorescent components (one combination of freshly produced biologically labile matter and a tryptophan-like component, one fulvic-like, one humic-like, and three tryptophan-like), whose fluorescence intensity was weakened after the stormwater wetland treatment. The lowest intensity appeared with 24 h of HRT and 15 cm of water depth. This study could be beneficial for understanding and managing stormwater wetlands, thus alleviating the impacts of pollutants on urban environments.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Wetlands have been used to treat anthropogenic effluents for decades due to their intense biogeochemical processes that transform and uptake nutrients, organic matter, and toxins. Despite these known functions, we lack generalizable knowledge of effluent-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) cycling in wetlands. Here, we quantify the cycling of DOM in one of Canada's more economically important wetland complexes (Frank Lake, Alberta), restored to hydrologic permanence in the 1980s using urban and agro-industrial effluents. Optical analyses and PARAFAC (parallel factor analysis) modelling showed a clear compositional change from more bioavailable and protein-like DOM at effluent input sites to more aromatic and humic-like at the wetland outflow, likely due to DOM processing and inputs from marsh plants and wetland soils. Microbial incubations showed that effluent DOM was rapidly consumed, with the half-life of DOM increasing from as low as 35 days for effluent, to 462 days at the outflow, as a function of compositional shifts toward aromatic, humic-like material. Long-term averaged dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export was low compared to many wetlands (10.3 ± 2.0 g C m-2 yr-1). Consistent with predictions based on water residence time, our mass balance showed Frank Lake was a net source of DOM across all measured years, but shifted from a source to sink among wet and drought years that respectively shortened or lengthened the water residence and DOM processing times. Overall, Frank Lake processes and transforms effluent DOM, despite being a longer-term net source of DOM to downstream environments.

Abstract
Fluorescence spectroscopy has become a widely used technique to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) and organic hazardous micro-pollutants in natural and human-influenced water bodies. Especially in rivers highly impacted by municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants' effluents, the fluorescence signal at low-flow is mainly dominated by these discharges. At river high-flow, their influence decreases due to dilution effects, and at the same time, other compounds of DOM, stemming from diffuse inputs, can increase or even dominate. Therefore, whereas the analysis of DOM is little informative on the changing sources and pathways of emissions, fluorescence spectroscopy can enhance our understanding and our possibilities of monitoring such dynamics in river catchments. This paper analyzed samples from seven high-flow events in an Austrian river. Firstly, independent DOM components were discriminated using a parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to show the varying composition of DOM during different phases of high-flow events. Furthermore, partial least squares (PLS) and sparse PLS (sPLS) regression were applied to identify excitation and emission wavelengths, serving as proxy parameters for quantifying dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and chloride. The PLS models show the best prediction accuracy but use the entire excitation-emission matrix in exchange. In selecting predictors, the use of excitation and emission wavelengths adjusted via sPLS is superior to the extracted PARAFAC components. The sPLS model yields 16 wavelength combinations for DOC (RMSEsPLS = 0.41 mg L-1) and 18 wavelength combinations for chloride (RMSEsPLS = 2.21 mg L-1). In contrast to other established optical measurement methods, which require different calibrations for low- and high-flow conditions, these models based on sPLS succeed in quantifying those parameters across the entire range of flow conditions and events of various magnitudes with a relative precision of about 5 %. These results show how the application of multivariate statistical techniques enhances the exploitation of the information provided by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important component of aquatic environments; it plays a key role in the biogeochemical cycles of many chemical elements. Using excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, we examined the fluorescent fraction of DOM (FDOM) produced at the stationary phase of growth of five strains of microalgae sampled and isolated from the Ob and Yenisei gulfs. Based on the morphological and molecular descriptions, the strains were identified as diatoms (Asterionella formosa, Fragilaria cf. crotonensis, and Stephanodiscus hantzschii), green microalgae (Desmodesmus armatus), and yellow-green microalgae (Tribonema cf. minus). Three fluorescent components were validated in parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC): one of them was characterized by protein-like fluorescence (similar to peak T), two others, by humic-like fluorescence (peaks A and C). The portion of fluorescence intensity of humic compounds (peak A) to the total fluorescence intensity was the lowest (27 ± 5%) and showed little variation between species. Protein-like fluorescence was most intense (45 ± 16%), but along with humic-like fluorescence with emission maximum at 470 nm (28 ± 14%), varied considerably for different algae strains. The direct optical investigation of FDOM produced during the cultivation of the studied algae strains confirms the possibility of autochthonous production of humic-like FDOM in the Arctic shelf regions.

Abstract
Compared with the urban sewage treatment plants, the operation of rural decentralized sewage facilities is trapped by the absence of professionals, thus having to be run dependently on the self-adaptive operation of the facilities, which makes timely monitoring particularly important. In this study, organic pollutants in rural domestic sewage and urban domestic sewage are analyzed using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) and Fourier transform infrared reflectance (FTIR). Compared with the UV-vis absorption spectrum, EEM can not only make up the deficiency in the detection of some easily degradable organics in sewage, but also reveal the transformation of different components, thus indicating timely the treatment progress of rural sewage. Linear fitting of COD and spectrum shows that UV254 combined with fluorescence excitation-emission at Ex/Em = 250/330 nm might be more suitable for the prediction of COD in rural water than the UV254 alone. This is of great significance for guiding the self-adaptive operation of rural domestic sewage facilities, improving their stability and efficiency, so as to improve the rural living environment.

Abstract
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a sensitive alpine environment of global importance, being Asia's water tower, featuring vast ice masses and comprising the world's largest alpine grasslands. Intensified land-use and pronounced global climate change have put pressure on the environment of the TP. We studied the tempo-spatial variability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to better understand the fluxes of nutrients and energy from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems in the TP. We used a multiparametrical approach, based on inorganic water chemistry, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics (chromophoric DOM, fluorescence DOM and δ13C of DOM) in stream samples of three catchments of the Nam Co watershed and the lake itself. Satellite based plant cover estimates were used to link biogeochemical data to the structure and degradation of vegetation zones in the catchments. Catchment streams showed site-specific DOM signatures inherited from glaciers, wetlands, groundwater, and Kobresia pygmaea pastures. By comparing stream and lake samples, we found DOM processing and unification by loss of chromophoric DOM signatures and a change towards an autochthonous source of lake DOM. DOM diversity was largest in the headwaters of the catchments and heavily modified in terminal aquatic systems. Seasonality was characterized by a minor influence of freshet and by a very strong impact of the Indian summer monsoon on DOM composition, with more microbial DOM sources. The DOM of Lake Nam Co differed chemically from stream water samples, indicating the lake to be a quasi-marine environment in regards to the degree of chemical modification and sources of DOM. DOM proved to be a powerful marker to elucidate consequences of land use and climatic change on biogeochemical processes in High Asian alpine ecosystems.

Abstract
Brown carbon (BrC) has been attracting more and more attention owing to its significant effects on climate. However, the limited knowledge on its chemical composition and sources limits the precision of aerosol radiative forcing estimated by climate models. In this study, the chemical components of PM2.5 and optical properties of water-soluble BrC (WS-BrC) were investigated from atmospheric particles collected in summer and winter in Qingdao, China. On the whole, though there were slight diurnal variations, seasonal differences were more obvious. Due to the influence of emission sources and meteorological conditions, the heavier pollution of carbonaceous aerosols occurred in winter. By comparison, the absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) and mass absorption efficiency of WS-BrC at 365 nm (MAE365) showed that WS-BrC in winter had stronger wavelength dependence and light absorption capacity, which might be associated with biomass burning source contributions. This was further confirmed by a strong correlation between the light absorption coefficient at 365 nm (Abs365) and non-sea salt K+, an indicator for biomass burning emissions. Four fluorescent components (C1∼C4) with high unsaturation in water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) were identified by excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis method, which showed that WSOC in Qingdao was mainly related to humic-like chromophores. It is worth noting that C1 was similar to the water-soluble chromophore of simulated marine aerosols, which proved that marine emissions do have a certain impact on atmospheric particulate matter in coastal areas. In addition, the results of source analysis showed that WS-BrC originated from different terrestrial sources in different seasons. The current results may help to improve the knowledge of optical properties of WS-BrC in coastal cities, optimize the global climate model and formulate air management policies.

Abstract
The present study, combining UV-Visible absorption and 3D fluorescence supported by PARAFAC chemometric analysis, focused on the characterization of soil water extractable organic matter (WEOM) in the zone of Doukkala located near the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The extracts, in water, of a set of 30 samples covering the four main types of agricultural soils in the region (commonly labeled Tirs, Faid, Hamri and R'mel) were investigated. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] absorbance ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] spectral slopes, along with their ratios[Formula: see text], as well as the fluorescence [Formula: see text] and humification [Formula: see text] indices were calculated and interpreted. In the four soil types, these parameters revealed, on the one hand, organic materials of terrigenous origin with some biological component, and showed, on the other hand, that these materials are in similar stages of humification with an important humic character. In all the soils investigated, 3D fluorescence crossed with PARAFAC chemometrics highlighted the absence of any protein component and revealed the prevalence of the fulvic acids fraction in the organic matter humic material.

Abstract
Natural oil seepages contribute about one-half of the annual petroleum input to marine systems. Yet, environmental implications and the persistence of water-soluble hydrocarbons from these seeps are vastly unknown. We investigated the release of oil-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) from natural deep sea asphalt seeps using laboratory incubation experiments. Fresh asphalt samples collected at the Chapopote asphalt volcano in the Southern Gulf of Mexico were incubated aerobically in artificial seawater over 4 weeks. The compositional changes in the water-soluble fraction of asphalt-derived DOM were determined with ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry (Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, FT-ICR-MS) and by excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy to characterize fluorescent DOM (FDOM) applying parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis. Highly reduced aliphatic asphalt-derived DOM was readily biodegraded, while aromatic and sulfur-enriched DOM appeared to be less bioavailable and accumulated in the aqueous phase. A quantitative molecular tracer approach revealed the abundance of highly condensed aromatic molecules of thermogenic origin. Our results indicate that natural asphalt and potentially other petroleum seepages can be sources of recalcitrant dissolved organic sulfur and dissolved black carbon to the ocean.

Abstract
Biological treatment can remove more than 89.8% of total organic carbon (TOC) and 94.4% of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the coking wastewater, thereby affecting the migration, transformation and bioavailability and binding characteristics of heavy metals (HMs). The results of parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) show that protein-like materials accounted for 97.53% in the coking wastewater DOM, a large number of humic-like substances are produced and accounted for more than 55.40% after biological treatment. A new spectral data processing method, the 1/n-th power transformation after two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (2D-COS) in combination with synchronous fluorescence spectra (SFS), can identify small features obscured by strong peaks, and reveal more binding sites as well as preserve the sequential order information. The result indicates that the preferential bonding of Cu(II) is at 306 nm (protein-like) for coking wastewater DOM, and at 514 nm (humic-like) for effluent DOM. The C-O group of esters and alcohols can preferentially complexate with Cu(II) in the coking wastewater and effluent DOM. The log KM values of PARAFAC components with Cu(II) are in the range of 3.59-5.06 for coking wastewater DOM, and in the range of 4.80-5.64 for the effluent DOM. Log KM values for protein-like materials with Cu(II) are higher than these for fulvic- and humic-like substances. Humic-like substances can form more stable complexes with Cu(II) in the effluent DOM. Biological treatment increases the chemical stability of DOM-Cu(II) complexes, thereby further reducing the environmental risk of Cu(II).

Abstract
This tutorial demonstrates how to exploit the second-order advantage on excitation-emission fluorescence matrices (EEFMs) acquired from sensing platforms based on analyte-triggered semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) fluorescence modulation (quenching/enhancing). The advantage in processing such second-order EEFMs data from complex samples, seeking successful quantification, is comprehensively addressed. It is worth emphasizing that, aiming to exploit the second-order advantage, the selection of the most appropriate advanced chemometric model should rely on the matching between the data structure and the physicochemical chemometric model assumption. In this sense, the achievement of second-order advantage after EEFMs' processing is extensively addressed throughout this tutorial taking into consideration three different analytical situations, each involving a specific data structure: i) parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), which is applied in a real dataset stacked in a three-way data array containing a trilinear data structure acquired from QDs-based detection with non-selective species; ii) multivariate curve resolution - alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS), which is also employed in a real dataset arranged in an augmented data matrix containing non-trilinear data structure acquired from QDs-based detection with a single breaking mode caused by background signals; iii) unfolded partial least-squares with residual bilinearization (U-PLS/RBL), which is applied in a dataset containing non-trilinear data acquired from a classical fluorescence system with two breaking modes caused by inner filter effect (IFE) in both instrumental modes (excitation and emission). The latter challenging data structure can be acquired via fluorescence quenching from IFE-based sensing platforms and chemometrically handled in two main steps. First, a set of calibration EEFMs data is converted into an unfolded data matrix during the unfolding process, followed by applying U-PLS model. Second, a post-calibration procedure using RBL analysis is applied to a test sample of EEFM maintained in its matrix form, in order to handle potential interferents. In the last section, the state-of-the-art of second-order EEFMs data acquired from semiconductor QDs-based sensing platforms and coupled to multi-way fluorescence data processing to accomplish a successful quantification, even with substantial interfering species, is critically reviewed.

Abstract
A new method of multi-sensor signal analysis for fault diagnosis of centrifugal pump based on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The single-channel vibration signal is analyzed by Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to construct the time-frequency representation. The multiple time-frequency data are used to construct the three-dimension data matrix. The 3-level PARAFAC method is proposed to decompose the data matrix to obtain the six features, which are the time domain signal (mode 3) and frequency domain signal (mode 2) of each level within the three-level PARAFAC. The eighteen features from three direction vibration signals are used to test the data processing capability of the algorithm models by the comparison among the CWT-PARAFAC-IPSO-SVM, WPA-PSO-SVM, WPA-IPSO-SVM, and CWT-PARAFAC-PSO-SVM. The results show that the multi-channel three-level data decomposition with PARAFAC has better performance than WPT. The improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) has a great improvement in the complexity of the optimization structure and running time compared to the conventional particle swarm optimization (PSO.) It verifies that the proposed CWT-PARAFAC-IPSO-SVM is the most optimal hybrid algorithm. Further, it is characteristic of its robust and reliable superiority to process the multiple sources of big data in continuous condition monitoring in the large-scale mechanical system.

Abstract
The properties and metal-binding abilities of dissolved organic matter (DOM) rely on its molecular weight (MW) structure. In this study, the spatial differences of DOM in compositions, MW structures, and binding mechanisms with copper (Cu2+) in Dongping Lake were investigated by applying excitation-emission matrix combining parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC), synchronous fluorescence (SF) spectra, two-dimensional correlation spectra (2D-COS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The EDOM for the entrance of the Dawen River and PDOM for the macrophyte-dominated region were divided from DOM of Dongping Lake based on hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) and were size-fractioned into MW < 500 kDa and <100 kDa fractions. According to EEM-PARAFAC, Dongping Lake was dominated by tryptophan-like substances with MW < 500 kDa. The concentration of PDOM was higher than that of EDOM (p < 0.05). 2D-COS showed that protein-like components preceded humic-like components binding to Cu2+ regardless of sample type (215 nm > 285 nm > 310-360 nm). The Cu2+ binding capacity of DOM exhibited specific differences in space, components, and molecular weights. The humic-like component 1 (C1) and tryptophan-like component 4 (C4) of PDOM showed stronger binding abilities than those of EDOM. Endogenous tryptophan-like component 4 (C4) had a higher binding affinity for Cu2+ than humic-like components (logKa: C4 > C1 > C2) in PDOM irrespective of MW. Humic-like components with MW < 500 kDa displayed higher binding potentials for Cu2+. FTIR spectra showed that the main participants of DOM-Cu complexation included aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic groups, amide Ⅰ bands, and carboxyl functional groups. This study provides spatial-scale insights into the molecular weight structure of DOM in influencing the behavior, fate, and bioavailability of heavy metals in lakes.

Abstract
The textile industry is an important potential source of environmental pollution due to the use of chemical products. Dyes, hydrolyzed dyes, and surfactants, among others, are chemical compounds present in wastewater of textile plant. Moreover, the anionic surfactants have toxic effects for various aquatic organisms even in low concentrations. The methodologies investigated to quantify surfactants, in general, consume a lot of analysis time and frequently use toxic or environmentally objectionable reagents. For these reasons, the objective of this work was to develop a quick and simple method to quantify surfactants without the use of expensive reagents and equipment, avoiding extraction and preconcentration stages. The proposed method is based on fluorescent spectroscopy measurements for the acquisition of second-order data in excitation-emission matrices and multivariate calibration techniques applied to the data. The unfolded partial least squares combined to residual bilinearization (U-PLS/RBL) algorithm was better than parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). U-PLS/RBL accurately quantified alkylnonylphenolethoxylated (APEO), dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (ADBS), and 2-phenoxy-ethoxylated fatty alcohol (AGFE) surfactants. The chemometric model obtained good analytical figures of merit: REP% between 5 and 13 and LOQ between 0.45 and 2.77 μg mL-1. This methodology had no significant difference compared with results obtained by a HPLC-FD reference technique, in addition with a considerable reduction in analysis time, reagent consumption, and therefore lower cost. For environmental applications, APEO, ADBS, and AGFE were quantify in textile wastewater treatment and in the receiving water body. The concentrations varied from 8.73 to 73.94 μg mL-1 in the textile wastewater and were not detected in the receiving water body.

Abstract
The central-eastern Yellow Sea is an important region for transporting organic matter (OM) to the Pacific Ocean, however, there is limited information available regarding the characteristics and sources of OM in this area. The present study investigated the concentrations and stable isotopic compositions of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) for particulate matter and sediment in the central-eastern Yellow Sea during April 2019. The physicochemical properties (i.e., salinity, temperature, fluorescence, and nutrients), size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass (Chl-a), and concentration and fluorescence characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) were also determined. The satellite SST and Chl-a data indicated that mixing cold and warm water masses were observed. Phytoplankton blooms occurred a few days before our sampling campaign. Considering the high concentration of suspended solids in the bottom layer, resuspended sediment caused by tidal currents could be a major source of OM in coastal areas. The δ13C values of particulate organic matter (POM) in the coastal area were higher (-23 to -22‰) than those of OM from terrestrial sources (approximately -28 to -27‰). Instead, the lowest δ13C values were observed in the central part of our study area, where the relative abundance of picophytoplankton was high. These results indicated that phytoplankton-derived OM after phytoplankton spring blooms in the coastal area could be the primary source of OM rather than terrestrial origins. In addition, the source of OM that presented low δ13C values could be picophytoplankton-derived OM. The characteristics of DOM were related to biological processes (mediated by phytoplankton and bacteria) and resuspension of sedimentary organic matter. We did not detect an influx of large amounts of terrestrial OM in coastal sediments. Overall, the source and characteristics of OM appeared to be influenced by the hydrodynamics and the distribution properties of lower trophic-level organisms in the central-eastern Yellow Sea during the spring season.

Abstract
Many brain processes in health and disease are associated with modulation of narrowband brain oscillations (NBOs) in the scalp-recorded EEG, which exhibit specific frequency spectra and scalp topography. Isolating and tracking NBOs over time using algorithms is useful in domains such as brain-computer interfaces or when measuring the EEG effects of experimental manipulations. Previously, we successfully applied modified tensor methods for identifying and tracking NBO activity over time or conditions. We introduced frequency and spatial constraints that greatly improved their physiological plausibility. In this paper we rigorously demonstrate the power and precision of tensor methods to separate, isolate and track NBOs using sources simulated with forward models. This allows us to control the attributes of NBOs and validate tensor solutions. We find that tensor methods can accurately identify, separate and track NBOs over time, using realistic sources either alone or in combination, and compare favorably to well-known spatio-spectral decomposition method for NBO estimation.
