TL;DR: A simple model accounts for both TSR and the less frequently observed reverse-TSR, predicts the fraction of energy allocated to maintenance and synthesis over the course of development, and also predicts that less total energy is expended when developing at warmer temperatures for T SR and vice versa for reverse- TSR.
Abstract: The temperature size rule (TSR) is the tendency for ectotherms to develop faster but mature at smaller body sizes at higher temperatures. It can be explained by a simple model in which the rate of growth or biomass accumulation and the rate of development have different temperature dependence. The model accounts for both TSR and the less frequently observed reverse-TSR, predicts the fraction of energy allocated to maintenance and synthesis over the course of development, and also predicts that less total energy is expended when developing at warmer temperatures for TSR and vice versa for reverse-TSR. It has important implications for effects of climate change on ectothermic animals.

TL;DR: The fabrication of MOF monoliths using the 3D printing technique and evaluation of their adsorptive performance in CO2 removal from air highlight the advantage of the robocasting (3D printing) technique for shaping MOF materials into practical configurations that are suitable for various gas separation applications.
Abstract: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promising performance in separation, adsorption, reaction, and storage of various industrial gases; however, their large-scale applications have been hampered by the lack of a proper strategy to formulate them into scalable gas–solid contactors. Herein, we report the fabrication of MOF monoliths using the 3D printing technique and evaluation of their adsorptive performance in CO2 removal from air. The 3D-printed MOF-74(Ni) and UTSA-16(Co) monoliths with MOF loadings as high as 80 and 85 wt %, respectively, were developed, and their physical and structural properties were characterized and compared with those of MOF powders. Our adsorption experiments showed that, upon exposure to 5000 ppm (0.5%) CO2 at 25 °C, the MOF-74(Ni) and UTSA-16(Co) monoliths can adsorb CO2 with uptake capacities of 1.35 and 1.31 mmol/g, respectively, which are 79% and 87% of the capacities of their MOF analogues under the same conditions. Furthermore, a stable performance was obtained for...

TL;DR: The toxicity of the transition metal oxides in the 4th period that are widely used in industry and biotechnology are reviewed to advance understanding in mechanisms of toxicity, which may lead to safer design of nanomaterials.
Abstract: Nanotechnology has evolved to play a prominent role in our economy. Increased use of nanomaterials poses potential human health risk. It is therefore critical to understand the nature and origin of the toxicity imposed by nanomaterials (nanotoxicity). In this article we review the toxicity of the transition metal oxides in the 4th period that are widely used in industry and biotechnology. Nanoparticle toxicity is compellingly related to oxidative stress and alteration of calcium homeostasis, gene expression, pro-inflammatory responses, and cellular signaling events. The precise physicochemical properties that dictate the toxicity of nanoparticles have yet to be defined, but may include element-specific surface catalytic activity (e.g., metallic, semiconducting properties), nanoparticle uptake, or nanoparticle dissolution. These in vitro studies substantially advance our understanding in mechanisms of toxicity, which may lead to safer design of nanomaterials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the vertical distribution of bulk conductivity, TDS, and specific conductance in groundwater, and concluded that biodegradation processes can impact both electrolytic and surface conduction properties of contaminated sediments and these two factors can account for the higher bulk conductivities observed in sediments impacted by hydrocarbon.

TL;DR: In this paper, Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ) was densified by pressureless sintering using <4-wt% boron carbide and/or carbon as Sintering aids.
Abstract: Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ) was densified by pressureless sintering using <4-wt% boron carbide and/or carbon as sintering aids. As-received ZrB 2 with an average particle size of ∼ 2 μm could be sintered to ∼ 100% density at 1900°C using a combination of boron carbide and carbon to react with and remove the surface oxide impurities. Even though particle size reduction increased the oxygen content of the powders from ∼ 0.9 wt% for the as-received powder to ∼ 2.0 wt%, the reduction in particle size enhanced the sinterability of the powder. Attrition-milled ZrB 2 with an average particle size of <0.5 μm was sintered to nearly full density at 1850°C using either boron carbide or a combination of boride carbide and carbon. Regardless of the starting particle size, densification of ZrB 2 was not possible without the removal of oxygen-based impurities on the particle surfaces by a chemical reaction.
