At 5 degree C addition of CO2 or HCO3- to CO (HCO3-)-depleted thylakoids (containing 100 mM formate) initiates, within 10 s, the activation of the Hill reaction in light. In contrast to HCO3- addition, where there is a lag of 6-8 s, the activation by CO2 addition is almost instantaneous. With CO2, prior addition of carbonic anhydrase produces a lag of about 6 s that approaches the lag observed by the HCO3- addition. These data suggest that CO2 is an active species involved in stimulating the Hill reaction. Binding of CO2 (HCO3-) to a component on the external side of the thylakoid membranes is supported by the present study.

For batteries to function effectively all active material must be accessible requiring both electron and ion transport to each particle. A common approach to generating the needed conductive network is the addition of carbon. An alternative approach is the electrochemically induced formation of conductive reaction products generated with intimate contact to the active material.

Both mass shootings and acts of bias-motivated violence have significant psychological consequences, as survivors commonly experience psychological distress in the form of depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) following the event. Moreover, increases in psychological distress are common near the year mark of a traumatic event. However, little is currently known about how communities affected by the intersection of bias-motivated violence and mass shootings are affected by these events in the longer term.

Objectives: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have recently proven to be an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, these drugs are also known to carry a significant risk of drug-induced pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not GLP-1-associated pancreatitis risk is dose-dependent.

Mercury sequestration in alkaline salt low-level radioactive waste.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

January 2025

Savannah River National Laboratory, Aiken, SC, USA.

Liquid low-level radioactive waste at the Savannah River Site contains several species of mercury, including inorganic, elemental, and methylmercury. This waste is solidified and stabilized in a cementitious waste form referred to as saltstone. Soluble mercury is stabilized as β-cinnabar, HgS as the result of reaction between the mercury and sulfur present in blast furnace slag, one of the cementitious reagents.

Food Allergy Prevalence in Two Population-Based UK Cohorts Born 12 Years Apart.

Clin Exp Allergy

January 2025

Section of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Children's Hospital Colorado, University of Colorado, Aurora, Colorado, USA.

Background: Adverse food reactions include food allergy (FA; immune-mediated) and food intolerances (non-immune-mediated). FA are classified into IgE- and non-IgE-mediated FA. There is limited information available about changes in FA prevalence over time.
