Environmental drivers of dissolved organic matter composition across central European aquatic systems: A novel correlation-based machine learning and FT-ICR MS approach.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) present in surface aquatic systems is a heterogeneous mixture of organic compounds reflecting its allochthonous and autochthonous organic matter (OM) sources. The composition of DOM is determined by environmental factors like land use, water chemistry, and climate, which influence its release, movement, and turnover in the ecosystem. However, studying the impact of these environmental factors on DOM composition is challenging due to the dynamic nature of the system and the complex interactions of multiple environmental factors involved.

Positivity of antiphosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies identifies a subgroup of more severe antiphospholipid syndrome patients.

Objectives: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease combining the occurrence of thrombotic and/or obstetric events with the persistent presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (i.e. lupus anticoagulant (LA), anti-cardiolipin (aCL) and anti-beta-2-glycoprotein I (aβ2GPI) antibodies).

Isotopic labeling of nanoparticles for the evaluation of their environmental fate in mesocosm experiments.

Mesocosm systems simulating floodplain areas are essential for the understanding of the environmental fate and effects of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). In such mesocosm studies, the quantification of different types of nanoparticles coexisting in natural systems and containing the same element is often challenging. Such coexistence is expected e.
