The behavior of ethanol oxidation reaction on composite electrodes prepared by deposition platinum on a gold surface (Pt/Au) were studied by cyclic voltammetry and surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) analysis. The results show that the Pt electrode has high oxidation activity and significant poison behavior; on the contrary, the Au electrode demonstrates low activity without a poison peak. The SEIRAS analyses reveal that both carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO) appear during anode sweeping, and the CO peak density decreases with increasing potential and finally is eliminated. During the cathodic scanning, the CO peak reappears, and the peak intensity increases with scanning cycles, demonstrating a high poison behavior and the C1 reaction route on Pt. On the Au electrode, CO and CO peaks were not observed; instead, an acetic acid peak appeared, indicating a C2 reaction path. For the Pt/Au composited electrodes, the electrochemical activities of the electrodes, as well as their poison behavior, increased with the deposition amount of Pt. However, the intensities of the poison peaks are smaller than those of oxidation ones; therefore, a higher tolerance to the CO poison can be achieved. For the 2 m-Pt/Au composite electrode, the activity is close to that of pure Pt, but the poison tolerance is 3 times the value of Pt.

Risk ranking of mycotoxins in plant-based meat and dairy alternatives under protein transition scenarios.

While reducing the consumption of animal-source foods is recommended for planetary and human health, potential emerging food safety risks associated with the transition to dietary patterns featuring plant-based meat (PBMA) and dairy alternatives (PBDA) remain unexplored. We assessed the exposure to mycotoxins and ranked the associated health risks related to the consumption of PBMA and PBDA. We simulated diets by replacing animal-source proteins with their plant-based alternatives.

Purpose: To assess whether exposure to an extended-release (ER) oxycodone with abuse deterrent properties (ADF) reduced tampering of oxycodone in a real-world, postmarket setting to address the thinking behind Category 4 labeling by the FDA.
Methods: Data from an observational cross-sectional study of the general adult population (2022) was used under a causal framework to estimate the confounding-adjusted odds of tampering oxycodone after exposure to two types of ADF ER oxycodone. The tampering behaviors of those who used only single entity immediate-release (SE-IR) oxycodone was used as a comparison.

The catalytic degradation of malodorous sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds (S-VOCs), especially methanethiol (CHSH), faces an enormous challenge in striking a balance between activity and stability. Herein, we develop the time-tandem and spatial-extended strategy for synthesizing t-MoO/meso-SiO nano-reactor-type catalysts and reveal the migration and transformation behaviors of both carbon and sulfur species at the mesoscopic scale to break the catalytic CHSH activity and stability trade-off. The dynamic evolution of active centers from initial oxygen sites and acid sites to sulfur vacancies in MoS during the reaction process as well as the formation of a new dimethyl disulfide (CHSSCH) reaction pathway are identified as the main reason for the catalysts' superior activity and sulfur resistance.

In cannibalistic species, conspecifics can be both predators and prey. As a result, conspecifics present a unique conflict at the intersection of predation, competition and nutritional resources in these species. To better understand how individuals respond to the complex information of conspecific chemical cues, we studied aggressive and cannibalistic tadpoles of the dyeing poison frog, .

This article explores the significant yet underappreciated role of medical experts in consolidating the promotion of moderate drinking as a viable solution to Britain's alcohol problem during the interwar period. The country's experience with alcohol regulation in the First World War showed that widespread drunkenness could be effectively managed through policies that restricted the availability of alcohol and encouraged moderation. This realization weakened the political standing of the temperance movement, as support for alcohol prohibition and abstinence waned, leading to the liberalization of social attitudes towards drinking.
