Abstract

Aerosol aging is the one of the research hotspots in the field of physical chemistry of atmospheric particulates at present. This study evaluates the impact of flyash in heterogenous reaction through the comparision of ozone oxidation reaction kinetics between the oleic acid (OA) thin film and oleic acid coated flyash which are observed by in situ vacuum FTIR for the first time. Except for the fingerprint region, the main bands of infrared spectrum of the fresh OA thin film and the fresh OA coated flyash are similar. When the two samples are exposed in the 20 ppm ozone concentration, room temperature and dry (RH~0%) conditions respectively, the =CH absorption peak (3 050 cm-1) decreases while The —OH stretch band (3 430 cm-1) increases. Moreover, The carboxylic C=O stretch band at 1 710 cm-1 decreases whereas a new ester group stretch band at 1 740 cm-1 appears and increases with increasing ozone exposure time. The OA component of the two samples can be gradually consumed and converted to some products containing hydroxyl and ester groups during the reactions through the changing trends of the infrared spectrum. The pseudo-first-order rate constant Kapp and the overall uptake coefficient γ, are obtained through changes in the a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
