Published: June 2010

Data are presented for real-time atmospheric monitoring of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in air using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) technology. These measurements were made by one of the new generation of SIFT-MS instruments. Results are shown for five VOCs that were continually monitored from a stationary sampling point over a 4-day period: ethene, ethanol, 1,3-butadiene, benzene and toluene. All analytes except ethene in the study have at least two simultaneous and independent measures of concentration. These results demonstrate the great advances in SIFT-MS that have been made in recent years. 1,3-Butadiene is measured at a concentration of 9 pptv with a precision of 44%. For a 1-s integration time, a detection limit of 50 pptv is achieved. Instrument sensitivities are reported for all five analytes.

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.
