Spatial Distribution of PCB Dechlorinating Bacteria and Activities in Contaminated Soil by Birthe V. Kjellerup, Piuly Paul, Upal Ghosh, Harold D. May, Kevin R. Sowers

“…The detection of indigenous PCB dehalorespiring activity combined with the detection of putative dechlorinating bacteria and biphenyl dioxygenase genes in the soil aggregates suggests that the potential exists for complete mineralization of PCBs in soils. However, in contrast to sediments, the heterologous distribution of microorganisms, PCBs, and inhibitory cocontaminants is a significant challenge for the development of in situ microbial treatment of PCB impacted soils.…”

Physical drivers of bio-optical properties in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area during the winter dry season by Wenlong Xu, Shuibo Hu, Alex Hayward, Zuomin Wang, Shuaiwei Liu

“…Our findings show that EDW exhibited beam attenuation and optical backscatter coefficients an order of magnitude greater compared to the other two regions, which was attributed to factors such as higher concentrations of suspended particulate matter and organic material from estuarine sources. In contrast, the GCCW was characterized by lower salinity, temperature, and suspended particulate matter and displayed reduced turbidity near the coast, whereas nutrient-rich GCCW waters transported to the mid-shelf region supported increased phytoplankton biomass and a greater abundance of micro-phytoplankton. …”

Beyond nutritional immunity: immune-stressing challenges basic paradigms of immunometabolism and immunology by Edmund K. LeGrand

“…At present much of the field of immunometabolism centers on how nutrition and metabolism regulate immune function, a central feature being the inefficient use of glucose via aerobic glycolysis (with much lactate/lactic acid production) by effector immune cells. In contrast, immune-stressing emphasizes how the immune system uses nutrition and metabolism to control infections. …”

Changes and their effects on working and daily life time use allocation between work-from-home and office work days during the telework period: insights from the survey in Japan by Eri Aoki, Eri Aoki, Ai Hiramatsu, Keisuke Hanaki

“…Groups such as the “Overall Increase” and “Housework and Rest Increase” reported gains in leisure and family time, positively impacting wellbeing. In contrast, the “Unsuitable for WFH” group faced increased office-day workloads and reduced WFH productivity, indicating that telework’s effectiveness depends on job and individual characteristics.ConclusionThe findings highlight telework’s potential to enhance wellbeing and sustainability but also underscore the need for tailored policies that address diverse job requirements and personal characteristics. …”
