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. …”

Vulnerability Assessment for Excessive Acceleration Failure Mode of an Indonesian Ro-Ro Ferry by Model Experiment by Daeng Paroka, Andi Haris Muhammad, Sabaruddin Rahman

“…The damping factor corresponding to criteria levels 1 and 2 of the excessive acceleration failure mode given by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) may not be applied to the Indonesian ro-ro ferry due to the large breadth-to-draught ratio and the ratio between the distance of the center of gravity from the sea surface and ship draught. …”

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. …”

Polysaccharide extract from Rosa laevigata fruit attenuates inflammatory obesity by targeting redox balance and gut interface in high-fat diet-fed rats by Xuejiao Zhang, Chenzhong Jin, Han Liu, Yihong Hu, Yunyun Zhou, Weiguo Wu, Si Qin

“…The results showed that RLPs administration had significantly restored immune organ indexes and reduced body weight gain. RNA-seq revealed that the effect of RLPs was partially attributed to its regulation on PPARs signaling by increasing the expressions of Scd, Acox3 and Hmgcs2, and on other redox-related pathways by decreasing the expressions of Cyp2e1, Il1-r1 and Lbp. …”

Studying breast cancer lung metastasis using a multi-compartment microfluidic device with a mimetic tumor-stroma interaction model by Bahareh Zarin, Laleh Rafiee, Sorosh Abdollahi, Maryam Vatani, Mohsen Hassani, Amir Sanati-Nezhad, Shaghayegh Haghjooy Javanmard

“…Background: Understanding the mechanisms underlying the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lungs is challenging, and appropriate simulation of the tumor microenvironment with mimetic cancer-stroma crosstalk is essential. β4 integrin is known to contribute to triggering a variety of different signaling cues involved in the malignant phenotype of cancer but its role in organ-specific metastasis needs further study. In this work, a multi-compartment microfluidic tumor model was developed to evaluate cancer cell invasion. …”
