Thermochromic textiles possess the capability to indicate ambient temperature through color changes, enabling real-time temperature monitoring and providing temperature warnings for body heat management. In this study, three thermochromic dyes-blue, red, and yellow-were synthesized using crystalline violet lactone (CVL), 6'-(diethylamino)-1',3'-dimethyl-fluoran (DDF), and 3',6'-dimethoxyfluoran (DOF) as leuco dyes, respectively, with biomass tea polyphenol serving as the color developer and tetradecanol as the phase change material. The chemical structures of these dyes were characterized using UV spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and H NMR.

The United States has significant greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions that lead to global warming, human health, ozone, and smog issues, partially attributed to its diesel-consuming transport fleet. Until fleet electrification reaches cost parity with internal combustion engines, biodiesel use can reduce these negative impacts. In this study, we analyzed and categorized the biodiesel-supporting policies of each U.

Cryoconite is a granular structure present on the glaciers and ice sheets found in polar regions including the Himalayas. It is composed of organic and inorganic matter which absorb solar radiations and reduce ice surface albedo, therefore impacting the melting and retreat of glaciers. Though climate warming has a serious impact on Himalayan glaciers, the biodiversity of sub-glacier ecosystems is poorly understood.

Cryopreserved human heart valves fill a crucial role in the treatment for congenital cardiac anomalies, since the use of alternative mechanical and xenogeneic tissue valves have historically been limited in babies. Heart valve models have been used since 1998 to better understand the impact of cryopreservation variables on the heart valve tissue components with the ultimate goals of improving cryopreserved tissue outcomes and potentially extrapolating results with tissues to organs. Cryopreservation traditionally relies on conventional freezing, employing cryoprotective agents, and slow cooling to sub-zero centigrade temperatures; but it is plagued by the formation of ice crystals and cell damage upon thawing.

The consumption of take-out food has increased worldwide; consequently, people are increasingly being exposed to chemicals from food containers. However, research on the migration of metals from containers to food is limited, and therefore, information required to determine the health risks is lacking. Herein, the amount of transfer of nine metals and metalloids (Pb, Sb, Cd, Ge, Co, Mn, Sn, As, and Hg) from food containers to food in South Korea was assessed from take-out food containers classified into paper and plastic container groups.
