Published: March 2007

The rate coefficients of the ion-molecule reactions between H3O+, NO+, O2+, and phosphine were determined using a selected ion flow tube. Using these data, the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) method was applied to the real-time measurement of phosphine in nitrogen without sample preparation down to concentrations in the mid parts per trillion range. This is the first reported measurement using SIFT-MS in the parts per trillion range. Linear dependencies on concentration were found from 190 ppt to the ppm range, and the limit of detection for a 10-s scan was 190 ppt (0.27 pg/mL).

The thrombolytic protease tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is expressed in the CNS, where it regulates diverse functions including neuronal plasticity, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain-barrier integrity. However, its role in different brain regions such as the substantia nigra (SN) is largely unexplored. In this study, we characterize tPA expression, activity, and localization in the SN using a combination of retrograde tracing and β-galactosidase tPA reporter mice.

Temperature is closely linked to the life history of organisms, and thus thermoception is an important sensory mechanism. Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are the key mediators of thermal sensation. In this study, we analyzed the sequence characteristics of TRPs in gecko Hemiphyllodactylus yunnanensis and compared the phylogenetic relationships of TRP family members among different Squamata species.

The efficient removal of Mn(II) from wastewater is crucial for safeguarding water quality, yet existing adsorbents face significant challenges, including high costs, poor resistance to ionic interference, and scalability limitations. This study addresses these challenges by utilizing abundant natural sandy sediment (SS) as a substrate to load unsaturated MnO via in-situ oxidation, creating a novel adsorbent (MOSS). MOSS exhibits a remarkable Mn(II) adsorption capacity of 1.
