Article Synopsis
- Chlorophenols require effective monitoring in water to comply with international safety regulations, especially in low- and medium-income countries where affordable methods are needed.
- A new method using supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS) has been developed for extracting chlorophenols efficiently, utilizing a synthesized sponge-like structure that enables multiple interaction mechanisms to enhance extraction.
- This method offers a quick (5-minute extraction), cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative that doesn't rely on organic solvents, making it accessible for labs and ensuring the quantification limits meet EU standards.
Unlike other coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly infected the global population, with some suffering long-term effects. Thanks to extensive data on SARS-CoV-2 made available through global, multi-level collaborative research, investigators are getting closer to understanding the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, using publicly available total and small RNAseq data of Calu3 cell lines, we conducted a comparative analysis of the changes in tRNA fragments (tRFs; regulatory small noncoding RNAs) in the context of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 infections.

For participants in decentralized finance (DeFi), the formulation of a token index emerges as a vital resource. Nevertheless, this endeavor is complex, encompassing challenges such as transaction fees and the variable availability of tokens, attributed to their brief history or limited liquidity.

An increasing number of digital food influencers are also informing consumers about the nutritional quality of products and promoting healthy consumption. In this context, the current study analyzes how both sources of information come together to affect purchase intention.

More recently, studies have addressed how the World Wide Web could be used as a valuable source for analysing the reactions of the public to outbreaks and revealing emotions and sentiment impact from certain events, notably that of pandemics.
Objective: The objective of this research is to evaluate the capability of Twitter messages () in estimating the sentiment impact of COVID-19 cases in Greece in real time as related to cases.
