Unveiling microplastic and metal pollution in giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) from areas impacted by human activities in the Rio Doce Basin, Brazil.

The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is the largest armadillo species, inhabiting vast areas of South America, including forests, savannas, and grasslands. The Rio Doce State Park (RDSP) is an important conservation unit that harbors P. maximus individuals.

Photocatalytic Synthesis of Difluorinated Glycoamino Acids and Neoglycopeptides via Hydrodifluoroacetamidation of Vinyl-C-glycosides.

A photocatalytic approach for the synthesis of difluorinated glycoamino acids and neoglycopeptides from bromodifluoroacetamides and sugar-derived olefins is presented. This method stands out because of its simplicity, atomic economy, and mild reaction conditions, allowing compatibility with both natural and unnatural amino acids and peptides. Additionally, it demonstrates efficacy across a variety of carbohydrates, including furanoses, pyranoses, pentose, hexoses, and disaccharides, accommodating an extensive range of protecting groups, even in their deprotected forms.

Probing Strangeness Hadronization with Event-by-Event Production of Multistrange Hadrons.

This Letter presents the first measurement of event-by-event fluctuations of the net number (difference between the particle and antiparticle multiplicities) of multistrange hadrons Ξ^{-} and Ξ[over ¯]^{+} and its correlation with the net-kaon number using the data collected by the ALICE Collaboration in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV. The statistical hadronization model with a correlation over three units of rapidity between hadrons having the same and opposite strangeness content successfully describes the results.
