Aminopropyl Functionalised MCM-41: Synthesis and Application for Adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) by Pham Dinh Du, Nguyen Trung Hieu, Thuy Chau To, Long Giang Bach, Mai Xuan Tinh, Tran Xuan Mau, Dinh Quang Khieu

“…The results showed that the direct method provided the aminopropyl-MCM-41 material with well-ordered pores and high surface areas but with a lower quantity of grafted 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane than the indirect method. To remove the organic template in the indirect method, solvent extraction with HCl/C2H5OH and calcination at 500°C were used, and the former gave a higher quantity of grafted 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in the resulting aminopropyl-MCM-41 materials. …”

Location and natural history are key to determining impact of the 2021 atmospheric heatwave on Pacific Northwest rocky intertidal communities by C. Melissa Miner, Helen D. Berry, Heath Bohlmann, Megan N. Dethier, Steven C. Fradkin, Rani Gaddam, Wendel W. Raymond, Peter T. Raimondi

“…Several consecutive days of air temperatures 10-20°C above normal, coupled with mid-afternoon low tides proved deadly for many rocky intertidal organisms, which live at the margin of land and sea.MethodsTo assess short (weeks) and longer-term (1 year) impacts of the heatwave on rocky intertidal communities, we used long-term monitoring data collected annually at 16 sites throughout Washington State.Results and discussionOur findings indicate that impacts were most severe at sites within the Salish Sea region of WA, where peak low tides occurred during the hottest, mid-afternoon hours. …”

Dynamic changes of extracellular vesicles during zebrafish organogenesis by Linda-Marie Mulzer, Tim Felger, Luis E. Muñoz, Gesa Engl, Heiko Reutter, Mario Schiffer, Leila Pourtalebi Jahromi, Fanni Annamária Boros, Friederike Zunke, Philipp Arnold, Alina C. Hilger

“…Additionally, sEV size also increased significantly, with a maximum diameter at 72 hpf. Since most organs are formed during the first 72 hpf and from then on mainly maturation and growth occur, the elevated number and larger size before 72 hpf suggests an important role of EVs during zebrafish organogenesis. …”
