Role of thermal and dynamical subdaily perturbations over the Tibetan Plateau in 30-day extended-range forecast of East Asian precipitation in early summer by Bian He, Xinyu He, Yimin Liu, Guoxiong Wu, Qing Bao, Wenting Hu, Chen Sheng, Shijian Feng

“…Abstract The influence of the thermodynamic forcing of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on the Asian summer monsoon remains controversial because the role of elevated heating across the TP remains unclear at multiple time scales. At the extended-range scale, the boundary forcing is more important than the initial field in the forecast process. …”

Highly Sensitive Colorimetric Assay for Determining Fe3+ Based on Gold Nanoparticles Conjugated with Glycol Chitosan by Kyungmin Kim, Yun-Sik Nam, Yeonhee Lee, Kang-Bong Lee

“…The Fe3+ ion coordinates with the oxygen atoms of GC in a hexadentate manner (O-Fe3+-O), decreasing the interparticle distance and inducing aggregation. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry showed that the bound Fe3+ was coordinated to the oxygen atoms of the ethylene glycol in GC, which resulted in a significant color change from light red to dark midnight blue due to aggregation. …”
