Variation and correlation between water retention capacity and gas permeability of compacted loess overburden during wetting-drying cycles
This study conducted centrifuge tests and gas permeability tests on compacted loess. The experiments examined the impact and relationship of wetting-drying cycles and dry density on the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) and gas permeability of compacted loess. Research findings reveal that during the dehumidification process of compacted loess, the gas permeability increases non-linearly, varying the gas permeability of soil with different densities to different extents under wetting-drying cycles. Two models were introduced to describe the impact of wetting-drying cycles on gas permeability of loess with various dry ...

As the top of food chain, human beings certainly will accumulate them by ingesting food and participating other activities, which eventually result in the damage to our health. Therefore, it is very meaningful and necessary to design a simple, portable, stable and efficient material for heavy metal ions detection. Based on the spirolactam Rhodamine 6G (SRh6G) fluorescent probe, we prepared two types of nanocomposite materials (membrane and aerogel) by vacuum filtration an...

Arsenic mobilization across the sediment-water interface of the Three Gorges Reservoir as a function of water depth using DGT and HR-Peepers, a preliminary study
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Apr 3;276:116276. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116276. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe artificial regulation of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) creates large water level fluctuation zones (WLFZ) that may change the behavior of metals and metalloid in sediment, particularly redox sensitive elements. Mobilization of As, Fe and Mn across the sediment-water interface (SWI) in the TGR as a function of different water depth (periodically and permanently submerged sediments, respectively) was in situ determined by diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and high-resolution dialysis technique (HR-Peep...

Method Development for Omics Analyses using Schirmer Strips
CONCLUSION: A high number of relevant metabolomic features can be extracted from longitudinally cut halves of Schirmer strips, which may enable analyses with more than one omics modality from the same sample. With the pre-analytical method described, Schirmer strips can be used for metabolomic analyses even in cases of very low or high tear volume with or without fluorescence.PMID:38567868 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2024.2335271 (Source: Current Eye Research)

Mesoporous Nitrogen ‐Doped Holey Reduced Graphene Oxide: Preparation, Purification, and Application for Metal‐Free Electrochemical Sensing of Dopamine
This study provides the first report on the synthesis and purification of nitrogen-doped holey reduced graphene oxide (N-MHG) that exhibits a mesoporous morphology on the graphene basal plane. The N-MHG features a highly mesoporous network with C ═O and O–C═O fragments, which could account for the remarkable stability of the N-MHG aqueous suspension. AbstractHoley graphenic nanomaterials with porosity within the basal plane attract significant interest. It is observed that the perforation of graphene can enhance the specific surface area of the nanosheet, ensuring effective wetting and penetration of electrolytes to ...

The diagnostic yield of inferior petrosal sinus sampling in Cushing syndrome in the era of ovine CRH shortage
ConclusionsWith the current drug shortages in Europe, ACTH measurements without oCRH stimulation in IPSS cannot be recommended. Thus, we call for desmopressin or the commercially available human CRH as a potential alternative in the confirmation of ACTH excess by IPSS in equivocal MRI findings. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)
