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. …”

Kinetics, Isotherms and Thermodynamics of the Adsorption of Lead(II) Ions onto Porous Mono-Sized Microspheres Possessing Imidazole Functional Groups by Ali Kara, Ali Tuncel

“…The values of E fe obtained from the Dubinin–Radushkevich equation in the non-linear form were 9.153 kJ/mol at 293 K, 10.34 kJ/mol at 303 K, 10.18 kJ/mol at 318 K and 10.91 kJ/mol at 333 K, thereby indicating that the adsorption of Pb(II) ions onto the porous monosized poly(EGDMA- co -VIM) microspheres occurred via a chemical process at all the temperatures studied. Various thermodynamic parameters, such as the Gibbs' free energy change (ΔG 0 ), the standard enthalpy change (ΔH 0 ) and the standard entropy change (ΔS 0 ) were also determined. …”
