  • Heavy Metal Accumulation and Its Spatial Distribution in Agricultural Soils: Evidence from Cite This: RSC Adv.,2018,8, 10665 Hunan Province, China
    RSC Advances View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue Heavy metal accumulation and its spatial distribution in agricultural soils: evidence from Cite this: RSC Adv.,2018,8, 10665 Hunan province, China Xuezhen Li,a Zhongqiu Zhao,*ab Ye Yuan, a Xiang Wanga and Xueyan Lia The issue of heavy metal pollution in Hunan province, China, has attracted substantial attention. Current studies of heavy metal soil pollution in Hunan province mainly focus on medium and small scales, thus heavy metal pollution is rarely considered at the province scale in Hunan. In order to investigate the heavy metal pollution status in agricultural soils in Hunan province, literature related to heavy metal soil pollution in Hunan province was reviewed and organized from the following databases: Web of Science, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (CQVIP). The literature data for the contents of Pb (122 soil sampling sites), Zn (103 sites), Cu (102 sites), Cd (105 sites), As (100 sites), Hg (85 sites), Cr (95 sites), and Ni (62 sites) in Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. agricultural soils were obtained at the province scale. The spatial auto-correlation method was applied to reveal the spatial distribution of heavy metal accumulation. The average contents of the 8 heavy metals in agricultural soils of Hunan were all significantly (P < 0.05) higher than their background values and they were not distributed evenly across the Hunan province; the content of each heavy metal in eastern Hunan (including the cities of Yueyang, Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Chenzhou) was higher than that of other regions.

  • Apr 1990 Vol 14 No 2
    EVANGELICAL REVIEW OF THEOLOGY VOLUME 14 Volume 14 • Number 2 • April 1990 Evangelical Review of Theology WORLD EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP Theological Commission p. 99 The Doctrine of Regeneration in the Second Century Victor K. Downing Printed with permission Having been raised within the evangelical community since birth, and having ‘gone forward’ at a Billy Graham crusade at the age of nine, there has never been any question in my mind as to what it means to be ‘born again’. However, since having begun to dabble in historical theology, the question has often occurred to me: ‘I wonder if Ignatius or Justin or Irenaeus understood John 3:7 as I understand it, and if not, why not?’. The purpose of this paper is not to critique twentieth-century evangelicalism’s doctrine of regeneration but to ponder this issue: if the idea of the ‘new birth’ is as foundational to the Christian faith, and the experience of the ‘new birth’ as central to the Christian life, as we evangelicals believe them to be; and if our (evangelical) view of regeneration is correct, as I presume most of us are convinced that it is; then why is it not more evident in the traditions of the sub-apostolic and early patristic Church? There are two reasons that I have chosen to examine the second century in particular. First, the person of Irenaeus provides us with an appropriate and convenient focal point. He lived and wrote at the close of the period and was the pre-eminent systematic theologian of the century and arguably the first in the history of the Church.
