Investigating on the toxicity and bio-magnification potential of synthetic glitters on Artemia salina.

Our research aims to assess the toxic impacts of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) glitters on Artemia salina as a model zooplankton. The mortality rate was assessed using a Kaplan Maier plot as a function of various microplastic dosages. The ingestion of microplastics was confirmed by their presence in digestive tract and faecal matter.

Microbeads and fragments have been widely studied, while glitter remains neglected by the literature although found in a variety product (e.g., body paints, nail polish, cosmetics, craft products).

Department of Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital of Munich, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany;
β-amyloid (Aβ) PET is an important tool for quantification of amyloidosis in the brain of suspected Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and transgenic AD mouse models. Despite the excellent correlation of Aβ PET with gold standard immunohistochemical assessments, the relative contributions of fibrillar and nonfibrillar Aβ components to the in vivo Aβ PET signal remain unclear. Thus, we obtained 2 murine cerebral amyloidosis models that present with distinct Aβ plaque compositions and performed regression analysis between immunohistochemistry and Aβ PET to determine the biochemical contributions to Aβ PET signal in vivo.

Perpetrators are often aware of commonly used trace evidence in forensic casework, thereby limiting potential transfer during a crime. With the lack of common evidence left behind at a crime scene, consideration of alternative potential evidence is necessary. Glitter and shimmer particles from cosmetic products will potentially transfer from or onto an offender, crime scene, or victim.

Analyzing the power of the spherical harmonics components of the lighting allowed us to predict the lighting effects on material perception for generic natural illumination environments. To further understand how material properties can be brought out or communicated visually, in the current study, we tested whether and how light map orientation and shape affect these interactions in a rating experiment: For combinations of four materials, three shapes, and three light maps, we rotated the light maps in 15 different configurations.
