TL;DR: Analysis by scanning tunneling microscopy suggests that the polymer is periodic with ultrahigh pore density.
Abstract: We present the synthesis of a two-dimensional polymer at the air/water interface and its nm-resolution imaging. Trigonal star, amphiphilic monomers bearing three anthraceno groups on a central triptycene core are confined at the air/water interface. Compression followed by photopolymerization on the interface provides the two-dimensional polymer. Analysis by scanning tunneling microscopy suggests that the polymer is periodic with ultrahigh pore density.

TL;DR: The experimental results illustrate significant performance improvements in recognition, suggesting that IR and visible fusion is a viable approach that deserves further consideration.

TL;DR: In this article, integrated sequence stratigraphic, biostratigraphic and chemostratigrammy analyses of three stratigraphraphic sections in central Nevada indicate that Late Ordovician glaciation-induced sea-level fall produced diachronous, stepwise faunal turnover in graptolites, conodonts, chitinozoans and radiolarians, and also triggered a strong, but transient, positive δ13C excursion.
Abstract: Integrated sequence stratigraphic, biostratigraphic, and chemostratigraphic analyses of three stratigraphic sections in central Nevada indicate that Late Ordovician glaciation-induced sea-level fall produced diachronous, stepwise faunal turnover in graptolites, conodonts, chitinozoans, and radiolarians, and also triggered a strong, but transient, positive δ13C excursion. This pattern is very different from that described for most mass extinction events.

TL;DR: It is discussed how several methods for quantifying intra-individual consistency or repeatability can serve as guides for appropriately defining traits and how these measures of repeatability may be helpful in ensuring that appropriate statistical models are used.
Abstract: The study of individual variation offers an underexploited wealth of opportunities for mammalogists. This paper addresses recent developments in the study of both intra- and inter-individual variation. After reviewing several methods (e.g., intraclass correlation, product-moment correlation, and confirmatory factor analysis) for quantifying intra-individual consistency or repeatability, we discuss how these measures of repeatability can serve as guides for appropriately defining traits and how they may be helpful in ensuring that appropriate statistical models are used (e.g., in accounting for measurement errors in regression analyses). We discuss three aspects of inter-individual variation; phenotypic selection, alternative individual strategies and phenotypic integration, and quantitative genetic analyses. The value of these approaches for studying inter-individual variation is illustrated with recent examples from the literature. Finally, we discuss how many field studies of mammals may be well poised to exploit the unique insights that can be gained from studying individual variation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of current methods for measuring the forms of Hg in the atmosphere and models used to interpret these data, which has important implications for refining existing measurement methods and developing new ones.
Abstract: . Mercury (Hg) is a global health concern due to its toxicity and ubiquitous presence in the environment. Here we review current methods for measuring the forms of Hg in the atmosphere and models used to interpret these data. There are three operationally defined forms of atmospheric Hg: gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM), and particulate bound mercury (PBM). There is relative confidence in GEM measurements (collection on a gold surface), but GOM (collection on potassium chloride (KCl)-coated denuder) and PBM (collected using various methods) are less well understood. Field and laboratory investigations suggest the methods to measure GOM and PBM are impacted by analytical interferences that vary with environmental setting (e.g., ozone, relative humidity), and GOM concentrations measured by the KCl-coated denuder can be too low by a factor of 1.6 to 12 depending on the chemical composition of GOM. The composition of GOM (e.g., HgBr2, HgCl2, HgBrOH) varies across space and time. This has important implications for refining existing measurement methods and developing new ones, model/measurement comparisons, model development, and assessing trends. Unclear features of previously published data may now be re-examined and possibly explained, which is demonstrated through a case study. Priorities for future research include identification of GOM compounds in ambient air and development of information on their chemical and physical properties and GOM and PBM calibration systems. With this information, identification of redox mechanisms and associated rate coefficients may be developed.
