Mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy enables rapid and nondestructive analysis of methane clumped isotopes. However, current analytical methods require a sample size of 20 mL STP (0.82 mmol) of pure CH gas, which significantly limits its application to natural samples.

Microplastics (MPs) are persistent and ubiquitous pollutants in marine ecosystems, and they can be ingested and accumulated by marine organisms with economic value to humans, such as marine bivalves, which may pose a threat to the marine food chains and to human health. In this literature review, we summarized the recent findings on the abundance and main characteristics (shape, size, color, polymer) of MPs detected in valuable marine bivalve species. Furthermore, we surveyed the major impacts triggered by MP exposure, alone or in combination with other pollutants, in these organisms.

Modifying the structure of an existing network is a common method to further improve the performance of the network. However, modifying some layers in network often results in pre-trained weight mismatch, and fine-tune process is time-consuming and resource-inefficient. To address this issue, we propose a novel technique called Identity Model Transformation (IMT), which keep the output before and after transformation in an equal form by rigorous algebraic transformations.

Background: Higher ultra-processed foods (UPF), attributed to more than half of daily intake in the US, have been associated with impaired health outcomes. Documented evidence highlights disparities in UPF consumption due to food insecurity, which is a public health challenge among older adults in the US.
Objectives: The study examined the link between food insecurity and UPF consumption.
