The involvement of light (L) and dense (D) bovine rotavirus particle types during virus replication has been studied. It was found that infectious parental L virions are uncoated in vivo to a particle similar to native D particles. Differences in the rate of synthesis and relative yields of L and D particles in MDBK and MA-104 cells have been detected. Results from pulse-chase labeling experiments indicate that D particles serve as morphogenic precursors to the complete L virion.

Complex structures can be understood as compositions of smaller, more basic elements. The characterization of these structures requires an analysis of their constituents and their spatial configuration. Examples can be found in systems as diverse as galaxies, alloys, living tissues, cells, and even nanoparticles.

Nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit high reactivity and mobility in the environment, and a significant capacity to penetrate living organisms, potentially leading to harmful effects. Volcanoes are the second major source of natural NPs emitted into the atmosphere, with an estimated flux of 342 Tg/year. Few studies have focused on their fate.

The maritime transport sector poses significant air quality concerns, particularly in nearby cities. Ultrafine particles (UFP, diameter < 100 nm) are of particular concern due to their potential health impacts. This study measured particle number concentrations (PNC), size distributions (PNSD), and other pollutants including particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NO), black carbon (BC), sulfur dioxide (SO) and ozone (O), organic markers and trace elements at a major European harbor and an urban background (UB) location.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, TN, United States. Electronic address:

The overall objective of the present work was to quantify how shear, coupled with varying salt concentration, affected the particle size distribution and relaxation/aggregation behavior for various organic sources of nonliving natural organic matter (NNOM) in surface water. NNOM has been implicated as a conditioning agent leading to the formation of biofilms such as algae. NNOM is also a responsible in surface waters for facilitated transport of a variety of anthropogenic pollutants.

Increasing microplastics pollution: An emerging vector for potentially pathogenic bacteria in the environment.

Microplastics (MP), plastic particles <5 mm, are of global concern due to their worldwide distribution and potential repercussions on ecosystems and human well-being. In this study, MP were collected from the urbanized Susurluk basin in Türkiye to evaluate their vector function for bacterial biofilms, both in the wet and dry seasons. Bacterial biofilms were predominantly found on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), which constitute the most common MP types in the region.
