A method was developed for the measurement of 19 parent PAHs (PAHs) and 34 hydroxylated
PAHs (OH-PAHs) in urine and personal air samples of particulate matter less than 2.5 um in
diameter (PM[subscript 2.5]) using GC-MS and validated using NIST SRM 3672 (Organic Contaminants in
Smoker’s Urine) and SRM 3673...

BACKGROUND: Targeted capture of genomic regions reduces sequencing cost while generating higher coverage by
allowing biomedical researchers to focus on specific loci of interest, such as exons. Targeted capture also has the
potential to facilitate the generation of genomic data from DNA collected via saliva or buccal cells. DNA samples...
Gramene (http://www.gramene.org) is a curated
online resource for comparative functional
genomics in crops and model plant species, currently
hosting 27 fully and 10 partially sequenced
reference genomes in its build number 38. Its
strength derives from the application of a phylogenetic
framework for genome comparison and the
use of ontologies...
Few studies have been published on the excretion rates of parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and hydroxy-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) following oral exposure. This study investigated metabolism and excretion rates of 4 parent PAHs and 10 OH-PAHs after the consumption of smoked salmon. Nine members of the Confederated Tribes of...

Water is a limiting factor for plant growth and vegetation dynamics in alpine sandy land of the Tibetan Plateau, especially with the increasing frequency of extreme precipitation events and drought caused by climate change. Therefore, a relatively stable water source from either deeper soil profiles or ground water is necessary...

The heterogeneous reactions of ambient particulate matter (PM)-bound polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitro-PAHs (NPAHs) with NO₃/N₂O₅, OH radicals, and O₃
were studied in a laboratory photochemical chamber. Ambient PM[subscript 2.5] and PM₁₀ samples were
collected from Beijing, China and Riverside, California, and exposed under simulated
atmospheric long-range transport conditions...
We, for the first time, demonstrate that orthorhombic V₂O₅ can exhibit superior electrochemical performance in sodium ion batteries when uniformly coated inside nanoporous carbon. The encapsulated V₂O₅ shows a specific capacity as high as 276 mAh/g, while the whole nanocomposite exhibits a capacity of 170 mAh/g. The V₂O₅/C composite was...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are increasingly used in biomedical applications,
hence understanding the processes that affect their biocompatibility and stability are of
significant interest. In this study, we assessed the stability of peptide-capped AuNPs and
used the embryonic zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a vertebrate system to investigate the impact
of synthesis...
Porous silicon prepared by low-cost and scalable magnesiothermic reactions is a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries; yet, retaining good cycling stability for such materials in electrodes of practical loading remains a challenge. Here, we engineered the nanoporous silicon from a modified magnesiothermic reaction by controlled surface oxidization forming a...

The heterogeneous reactions of benzo[a]pyrene-d₁₂ (BaP-d₁₂), benzo[k]fluoranthene-d₁₂ (BkF-d₁₂), benzo[ghi]perylene-d₁₂ (BghiP-d₁₂), dibenzo[a,i]pyrene-d₁₄ (DaiP-d₁₄), and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DalP) with NO₂, NO₃/N₂O₅, and OH radicals were investigated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in an indoor Teflon chamber and novel mono NO₂-DaiP, and mono NO₂-DalP products were identified. Quartz fiber filters (QFF) were used...
