TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the direct analysis of 80 metal samples (alloys and steel) for multivariate and univariate regression models, aiming at the determination of 10 analytes (Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Ti, V and Zn).
Abstract: This study applies laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the direct analysis of 80 metal samples (alloys and steel) for multivariate and univariate regression models, aiming at the determination of 10 analytes (Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Ti, V and Zn). To optimize the LIBS system, the Doehlert design was used for energy, delay time and spot size adjustment for all samples and analytes. Twelve normalization modes were used to reduce the interference matrix and to improve the calibration models, with error values ranging from 0.27% (Mn) to 14% (Cu and Ni). Models without normalization presented two- to five-fold higher errors. In addition to quantification, classification models (KNN, SIMCA and PLS-DA) were also proposed for sample differentiation. Multivariate and univariate models presented similar performance, and among the classification models, KNN presented the best results, with an accuracy of 100%.

TL;DR: The data proves that pollution of the Douro River estuary by pharmaceuticals is consistent and is occurring in a fairly constant manner in time, covering a wide area and displaying hot-spots, and supports the need for experimental studies on toxicological impacts on aquatic organisms at environmentally relevant concentrations.

TL;DR: StArt is a tool that has been continuously developed such that new features are often available to improve the support for the SR process, and the StArt online community can improve the interaction among users, facilitating the identification of improvements and new useful features.
Abstract: Context: Systematic Review (SR) is a methodology used to find and aggregate relevant existing evidence about a specific research topic of interest. It can be very time-consuming depending on the number of gathered studies that need to be analyzed by researchers. One of the relevant tools found in the literature and preliminarily evaluated by researchers of SRs is StArt, which supports the whole SR process. It has been downloaded by users from more than twenty countries. Objective: To present new features available in StArt to support SR activities. Method: Based on users' feedback and the literature, new features were implemented and are available in the tool, like the SCAS strategy, snowballing techniques, the frequency of keywords and a word cloud for search string refining, collaboration among reviewers, and the StArt online community. Results: The new features, according to users' positive feedback, make the tool more robust to support the conduct of SRs. Conclusion: StArt is a tool that has been continuously developed such that new features are often available to improve the support for the SR process. The StArt online community can improve the interaction among users, facilitating the identification of improvements and new useful features.
