A Comparison Study of Chemical Compositions and Sources of PM1.0 and PM2.5 in Hanoi by Pham Duy Hien, Vuong Thu Bac, Nguyen Thi Hong Thinh, Ha Lan Anh, Duong Duc Thang, Nguyen The Nghia

“…Abstract We simultaneously collected 85 pairs of 24-h PM1.0 and PM2.5 samples from a new urban area in Hanoi, Vietnam, and analyzed their chemical compositions with particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and ion chromatography (IC) to obtain input data for source apportionment via positive matrix factorization (PMF). …”

Hepatocellular Bile Salt Transport: Lessons from Cholestasis by Michael Trauner, Peter Fickert, Rudolf E Stauber

“…Hepatic uptake and excretion of bile salts and several nonbile salt organic anions (eg, bilirubin) are mediated by a distinct set of polarized transport systems at the basolateral and apical plasma membrane domains of hepatocytes and bile duct epithelial cells (cholangiocytes). …”

A Nonselective Cation Channel in Adult Alveolar Epithelial Cells by Beverley A Orser, Jeffrey D Edelson

“…A cation channel, previously identified in fetal alveolar epithe lium, may represent one of several pathways which regulate apical-basal transepithelial Na+ flux. The purpose of this study was to determine if cation channels are also present in adult alveolar epithelial cells.…”

Determination of the degree of sulfonation in cross-linked and non-cross-linked Poly(ether ether ketone) using different analytical techniques by Abdul G. Al Lafi, Mohammed S. Rihawy, Abdul W. Allaf, Ali Alzier, Reem Hasan

“…In this work, the DS of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was evaluated using a combination of analytical techniques, including titration, back titration, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Ultra-Violet (UV) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopies, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis. Both non-cross-linked and cross-linked SPEEK were examined to assess the advantages and limitations of these methods. …”

Selective Vulnerability of the Cochlear Basal Turn to Acrylonitrile and Noise by B. Pouyatos, C. A. Gearhart, A. Nelson-Miller, S. Fulton, L. D. Fechter

“…Normally, such a noise would be expected to yield damage at a more apical region of the cochlea. The present study was designed to determine whether the basal cochlea is selectively sensitive to acrylonitrile or whether, by adjusting the frequency of the noise band, it would be possible to control the region of the auditory impairment. …”

Efficacy of canal disinfectants Temoporfin, carbon nanoparticles, and Er: YAG laser on martens hardness, smear layer removal, and bond strength of glass fiber posts to canal dentin by Abdulaziz Alsahhaf

“…Group 2 (Er: YAG laser + 17 % EDTA) demonstrated superior smear layer removal across all sections, particularly in the apical third (1.94 ± 0.38). Push-out bond strength was highest in Group 2 (9.98 ± 0.14 MPa at the cervical level) and Group 4 (10.08 ± 0.21 MPa), while Group 1 showed a decrease in apical bond strength of (5.11 ± 0.19 MPa) Conclusion: CNPs and Er:YAG laser treatments, in comparison to Temoporfin and NaOCl, significantly increase dentin hardness and bond strength while reducing SL. …”

Genetic Transformation of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with the Gus Color Marker, the Bar Herbicide Resistance, and the Barley (Hordeum vulgare) HVA1 Drought Tolerance Genes by Kingdom Kwapata, Thang Nguyen, Mariam Sticklen

“…Five common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties including “Condor,” “Matterhorn,” “Sedona,” “Olathe,” and “Montcalm” were genetically transformed via the Biolistic bombardment of the apical shoot meristem primordium. Transgenes included gus color marker which visually confirmed transgenic events, the bar herbicide resistance selectable marker used for in vitro selection of transgenic cultures and which confirmed Liberty herbicide resistant plants, and the barley (Hordeum vulgare) late embryogenesis abundant protein (HVA1) which conferred drought tolerance with a corresponding increase in root length of transgenic plants. …”
