Limits of detection for a number of elements both in air and in argon inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICPAES) have been determined using a high-resolution interferometric spectrometer (HiRIS) that consists of an acousto-optic tunable filter, a fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer, and a photon-counting PMT detector. Detection limits using the HiRIS are comparable to those determined using a 1.5 m focal-length grating spectrometer, which has resolution similar to that of the HiRIS. Differences between the two spectrometer systems and the two plasma systems are discussed. The portability and versatility of the HiRIS make it a useful alternative for field or on-line measurements using ICPAES. The high-resolution capabilities allow the HiRIS to replace large grating spectrometers for resolution of isotopic and complex spectra.

Scant Evidence for Long-Range Atmospheric Transport of Particle-Bound Benzotriazole Ultraviolet Stabilizers.
Environ Sci Technol

Despite benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BT-UVs) being widely used since the 1960s, few empirical data on their atmospheric presence exist. UV-328 was added to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, based in part on model calculations indicating atmospheric long-range transport potential. We investigated the atmospheric occurrence of BT-UVs at multiple sites that differ greatly in their proximity to potential sources.

Solid-phase immunosorbent reactions, such as ELISA, are widely used for detecting, identifying, and quantifying protein markers. However, traditional centimeter scale well-based immunoreactors suffer from low surface-to-volume (S/V) ratios, leading to large sample consumption and a long assay time. Microfluidic technologies, particularly tubular microfluidic immunoreactors, have emerged as promising alternatives due to their high S/V ratios.

Human adenovirus type 36 (HAdV-D36) has been putatively linked to obesity in animals and has been associated with obesity in humans in some but not all studies. Despite extensive epidemiological research there is limited information about its receptor profile. We investigated the receptor portfolio of HAdV-D36 using a combined structural biology and virology approach.

PLoS One

Zhanhua District Power Supply Company, Binzhou, China.
Interfered by external factors, the receptive field limits the traditional CNN multispectral remote sensing building change detection method. It is difficult to obtain detailed building changes entirely, and redundant information is reused in the encoding stage, which reduces the feature representation and detection performance. To address these limitations, we design a Siamese network of shared attention aggregation to learn the detailed semantics of buildings in multispectral remote sensing images.

Manglietia decidua is an extremely endangered species, known for its limited population and a narrow distribution range restricted to China (Yu 1994). In October 2021, a leaf disease affecting the foliage of 3-year-old M. decidua was observed at the nursery garden of the Yichun Forestry Institute of Jiangxi Province (27°55'52.
