Olfactory transport efficiency of the amorphous and crystalline manganese oxide nanoparticles by A. V. Romashchenko, D. V. Petrovskii, M. B.  Sharapova, Y. M. Moshkin, K. E. Kuper, K. N.  Morozova, E. V. Kiseleva, M. P. Moshkin

“…The unequal ability of amorphous and crystalline particles to overcome the mucosal layer covering the OE may be one of the possible reasons for the different nose-to-brain transport efficiency of particulated matter. Indeed, the introduction of mucolytic (dithiothreitol) 20 minutes prior to intranasal particle application did not influence the accumulation of amorphous particles in OE and OB, but enhanced the efficiency of crystalline nanoparticle entry. …”

Greenhouse Gases Emissions from Wastewater Treatment Plants: Minimization, Treatment, and Prevention by J. L. Campos, D. Valenzuela-Heredia, A. Pedrouso, A. Val del Río, M. Belmonte, A. Mosquera-Corral

“…In this study, three possible ways to reduce these emissions are discussed and analyzed: (1) minimization through the change of operational conditions, (2) treatment of the gaseous streams, and (3) prevention by applying new configurations and processes to remove both organic matter and pollutants. In current WWTPs, to modify the operational conditions of existing units reveals itself as possibly the most economical way to decrease N2O and CO2 emissions without deterioration of effluent quality. …”
