Theoretical understanding of water splitting by analyzing nanocatalyst photoabsorption spectra by Gollapalli Prince, Caspary Toroker Maytal

“…In a photoelectrochemical cell used for water splitting, the surface states of optically and chemically dominant species affect the catalysts’ performance. For instance, the signature of the dominant absorption peak at 580 nm in the observed spectra of Fe2O3 photoanode can shed light on the oxygen evolution reaction mechanism since each reaction intermediate affects the absorption spectrum, and the absorption coefficient in turn affects the photocurrent. …”

Karyotype uniformity in populations of the endemic Hemiancistrus fuliginosus (Loricariidae: Hypostomini) collected in the upper and middle Uruguai River by Jocicléia Thums Konerat, Vanessa Bueno, Ana Luiza de Brito Portela-Castro, Isabel Cristina Martins-Santos, Vladimir Pavan Margarido

“…The exclusivity of NORs polymorphism of the Antas River population can be attributed to the geomorphological characteristics of the tributary that restrict gene flow, while karyotypic similarities among the other three populations would be provided by the species’ ability to disperse.…”

Does nitrate suppress phosphorus release from sediment? A case study in Lake Kasumigaura, Japan by Ryuichiro Shinohara, Kenji Tsuchiya, Ayato Kohzu

“…The negligible concentration of NO3– in the sediment porewater, as well as the relationship between Fe and P species, appears to reflect that NO3- did not suppress PO43- release from sediment at Lake Kasumigaura.…”

Age-related thinning of orbicularis oculi muscle inside upper eyelid and its possible association with sunken upper eyelids by Takamasa Gomi, Itsuko Okuda, Ami Seino, Kaho Ohara, Yasuko Harada

“…We investigated the correlations between the sunken upper eyelid and morphological parameters inside the eye area using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), verified the relationship between age and degree of sunken upper eyelid photographically, and quantified muscle fibers histologically classified by myosin heavy chain (MYH) species and connective tissues in the superior palpebral part of the orbicularis oculi muscle from cadaveric specimens of various ages. …”

Inhibition of GPR68 induces ferroptosis and radiosensitivity in diverse cancer cell types by Leif R. Neitzel, Daniela T. Fuller, Jessica Cornell, Samantha Rea, Carolina de Aguiar Ferreira, Charles H. Williams, Charles C. Hong

“…GPR68 inhibition is not acutely detrimental but increases intracellular free ferrous iron, which is known to trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In summary, GPR68 inhibition induces lipid peroxidation in cancer cells and sensitizes them to ionizing radiation in part through the mobilization of intracellular free ferrous iron. …”

Movement traits important to conservation and fisheries management: an example with red snapper by Susan K. Lowerre-Barbieri, Kara Wall, Claudia Friess, Sean Keenan, Chad Lembke, Joseph Tarnecki, Laura Jay Williams-Grove, William F. Patterson

“…These behaviors can change with age, habitat and environmental conditions and our ability to accurately estimate them is affected by a study’s inference power (design components that affect how accurately detection data represents a species’ movements). Red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) have been extensively studied with AT over a range of time periods and regions, although primarily at artificial reefs (AR). …”
