Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 140 dust samples from various indoor settings to investigate the presence of twelve different amine-based rubber additives, revealing significant detection rates for several compounds.
- The highest concentrations of these additives were found in parking lots, suggesting that vehicle-related sources contribute heavily to indoor pollution, although they were also present in non-vehicle environments like markets and hotels.
- The research underscores potential health risks, especially for toddlers who have the highest estimated daily intake of these additives through dust ingestion, indicating a need for further investigation and monitoring of indoor air quality regarding these compounds.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 111 dust samples revealed that traditional QAC concentrations ranged from 13.8 to 150 μg/g, with emerging QACs making up 19 to 42% of the total QAC composition in various microenvironments.
- * Notably, dust from cinemas showed higher total QAC concentrations compared to homes, and rooms with carpets had significantly greater QAC levels than those without, highlighting the prevalence of these compounds in indoor environments.
In this study, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, dye-doped dual-frequency liquid crystal multi-stable smart window is proposed. A chiral dopant with appropriate content was introduced into dye-doped dual-frequency liquid crystals to achieve an initial 180° twisted state. These liquid crystals can be switched to a nematic phase or a 360° twisted state by controlling the magnitude and frequency of the applied voltage.

It revealed that the synergetic effect of yeast and APG could boost the SCFA concentration to the maximum value of 2800.34 mg COD/L within 9 days at 0.

The intensity distribution of four-petal Gaussian vortex (FPGV) beams through a focused optical system and the radiation force acting on a Rayleigh dielectric sphere is obtained based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the Rayleigh scattering theory. We mainly study the trapping of high and low refractive index Rayleigh particles by FPGV beams and the effect of the topological charge on the radiation force. The results show that the specific distribution of the incident beam can be controlled by a reasonable choice of topological charge .

Traditional microscopy is cost-effective but requires high-quality blood smears and considerable experience, while the widely used semi-quantitative qPCR methods are mostly employed with ideal, laboratory-based golden samples and standard curves, which may limit the comparison of parasitemia from different laboratories.
Methods: Here we present a digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) protocol for absolute quantification of avian haemosporidians in raptors.
