Organophosphate tri- and diesters (tri-OPEs di-OPEs) were quantified in 63 paired maternal cord whole blood samples collected Hubei, China, which tri-o-cresyl phosphate (ToCP) was predominant. The transplacental transfer efficiencies (expressed as to (C:M) concentration ratios) of aryl-tri-OPEs, such ToCP (1.61) triphenyl (TPHP) (1.06), higher than those alkyl-tri-OPEs (0.66-0.76). For the target tri-OPEs some traditional organic compounds, C:M ratios first increased with log Kow range...
Determining sea turtle foraging grounds, emerging threats, and population status are essential for conservation management. Crowdsourced science is a recently recognized approach that enables internet-based data collection, providing important contributions to scientific goals while also benefiting society public education. This study based on the published dataset from TurtleSpot Taiwan (2017–2022) with aim leverage crowdsourced determine demography, residency patterns in Taiwan. We...
Zeolites are becoming more versatile in their chemical functions through rational design of frameworks. Therefore, direct imaging all atoms at the atomic scale, basic units (Si, Al, and O), heteroatoms framework, extra-framework cations, is needed. TEM provides local information level, but serious problem electron-beam damage needs to be overcome. Herein, framework atoms, including oxygen most Na successfully observed one electron-beam-sensitive lowest density zeolites, Na-LTA. Zeolite...
In this paper, BT (( E )-2-(4-(4-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)styryl)-3-cyano-5,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene)malononitrile) with strong donor–π-acceptor structure was synthesized, which showed both colorimetric and fluorescent sensing ability toward Cu 2+ high selectivity sensitivity. Job plot mass spectra measurement revealed a 1 : coordination mode between probe in ethanol/HEPES (1 4 v/v) buffer (pH 7.2) solution, the binding constant calculated to be 3.6 × 10 M –1 . The colour of...
Block polymers are an attractive platform for uncovering the factors that give rise to self-assembly in soft matter owing their relatively simple thermodynamic description, as captured self-consistent field theory (SCFT). SCFT historically has found great success explaining experimental data, allowing one construct phase diagrams from a set of candidate phases, and there is now strong interest deploying screening tool guide design. However, using discovery leads conundrum: How does discover...
Modelling the drying process of fuel moisture with initial content above fibre saturation point can be used to determine when will become sufficiently dry (after precipitation) burn and provide a more accurate prediction fire potential. Based on analysis mechanism by which occurs, we propose model comprising two phases distinguished threshold 0.35 g g–1, point; one phase is controlled evaporation other diffusion. Each has distinct equation different timelag. We compared our two-phase...
Abstract An efficient rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging tetrasubstituted cyclic enamides has been developed, affording chiral amides with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield >99% ee ). This novel methodology provides an concise synthetic route cycloalkylamines two contiguous stereogenic centers. The potential utility this protocol in the synthesis bioactive molecules is also disclosed. magnified image
Bisphenol AF (BPAF) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) may display combined estrogenic effects on aquatic organisms, because BPAF PFOA are widely present in the environment reported to have organisms. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed BPAF, PFOA, binary mixtures of both for 7 days using estradiol (E2) vitellogenin (VTG) as biomarkers. The estrogen receptor α (erα) expression VTG level increased upon single exposures (0.0372 0.372 μM) (1.21 12.1 μM). Although them stimulated P450...
Abstract We used self‐consistent field theory (SCFT) to examine the stability of three cubic single network structures, gyroid, diamond, and primitive, in neat diblock copolymer melts. Arguments related packing frustration, as measured by standard deviation mean curvature interface relative its mean, that explain double diamond primitive also extend their networks. However, this frustration measure fails account for stabilities networks, example, gyroid versus arguments a preferred fail...
Block polymers self-assembled into chiral alternating-gyroid (GA) morphologies are desirable templates for fabricating photonic materials. Recent self-consistent field theory (SCFT) calculations on a model system predicted that adding minuscule amount of ABC triblocks blend thermodynamically symmetric double-gyroid-forming AB and BC diblocks with immiscible A C blocks stabilizes GA. Here, we use SCFT to investigate the feasibility this method in practice by computing phase behaviors ternary...
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), one of the expression products proglucagon (pg) gene, is an incretin mainly secreted by gastrointestinal system. In mammals, GLP-1 has hypoglycemic and food-inhibiting effects; while in some fish species, it been confirmed to increase blood glucose promoting gluconeogenesis stimulating glycogenolysis. order more deeply understand role process glycometabolism herbivorous fish, pg gene was cloned from Spinibarbus denticulatus obtain its sequence...
Abstract Diblock copolymer of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PNIAAm-b-PAA) with designed molecular weight and narrow distributions was synthesized by sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) tert-butyl arcylate (tBA) using trithiocarbonate as a agent (CTA), followed selective hydrolysis the PtBA block.

Stock enhancement is one of the potential management strategies for fishery. To better understand impaction stock enhancement, we simulated an experiment lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus) and evaluated genetic structure after enhancement.
