Infrared spectra of Cr(CO)6 adsorbed at different surface centers on gamma-alumina were investigated. The spectra of the probe complex revealed the existence of three types of strong Lewis centers and that of physisorbed Cr(CO)6. In the case of the physisorbed complex Oh symmetry was widely conserved, and addition to strong Lewis centers led to lowering of the symmetry. The assumption of C4v symmetry, caused by interaction of one CO group of the complex with a Lewis center, may explain the spectra. Approximate values for the integral extinction coefficients were determined. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Background: Hippocampal volume increases throughout early development and is an important indicator of cognitive abilities and mental health. However, hippocampal development is highly vulnerable to exposures during development, as seen by smaller hippocampal volume and differential epigenetic programming in genes implicated in mental health. However, few studies have investigated hippocampal volume in relation to the peripheral epigenome across development, and even less is known about potential genetic moderators.

Urban woodland composition and configuration have strong associations with land surface temperatures (LST), but the evidence is contradictory due to different spatial scales, regional climate zones, woodland types and urban contexts. In this study, we analyse associations between urban woodland and LST within and between five cities in different Köppen climate zones. Our consistent methodology is framed around local climate zones and conducted at a fine spatial scale.

The spectral vegetation indices derived from remote sensing data provide a detailed spectral analysis for assessing vegetation characteristics. This study investigated the relationship between cotton yield and canopy spectral indices to develop yield estimation models. Spectral reflectance data were collected at various growth stages using an ASD FieldSpec Pro VNIR 2500 spectrometer.

This paper provides an overview of the INGENIOUS (UnderstandING the sourcEs, traNsformations and fates of IndOor air pollUtantS) project, aiming to better understand air pollution in homes. Although our homes are the microenvironment in which we spend most of our time, we know relatively little about the sources, transformation processes and fates of indoor air pollutants, or our exposure to them. INGENIOUS aims to address this knowledge gap by delivering: an indoor emissions inventory for UK homes; comprehensive air pollutant measurements in 310 homes in Bradford using a combination of low cost-sensors and more advanced air quality instrumentation; an analysis of the impact of indoor air pollution on outdoor air quality and using mobile measurements; insight into future indoor air quality using detailed air pollution models; identification of indoor air pollutants that warrant further toxicological study; and better understanding of the barriers and facilitators for behaviour that drives improved indoor air quality.

mRNA therapeutics is revolutionizing the treatment concepts toward many diseases including cancer. The potential of mRNA is, however, frequently limited by modest control over site of transfection. Here, we have explored a library of multivalent ionizable lipid-polypeptides (MILP) to achieve robust mRNA complexation and tumor-confined transfection.
