Reactive Oxygen Species and Oxidative Stress
TL;DR: Lipid peroxidation can be terminated by the reaction of two lipid radicals to produce nonradical products and can be slowed by the action of α-tocopherol, as described earlier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in soil sorption coefficients within common antimicrobial families
TL;DR: Results of this research indicate that substituent groups have little effect on sorption interactions of compounds from the tetracycline and fluoroquinolone family that interact with soils primarily through cation exchange, surface complexation and cation bridging sorption mechanisms.

Water-Based Magnetic Fluids as Extractants for Synthetic Organic Compounds
TL;DR: In this article, a class of water-based magnetic fluids that are specifically tailored to extract soluble organic compounds from water is described, which exhibit a high capacity for organic solutes, with partition coefficients between the polymer coating and water on the order of 103−105, consistent with values reported for solubilization of these organics in PEO−PPO−PEO block copolymer micelles.

Diel variability of mercury phase and species distributions in the Florida Everglades
TL;DR: In this article, a simple mass balance is used to show that the flux of Hg to the atmosphere from diel DGM production and evasion represents about 10% of the annual input from atmospheric deposition.

Spectrum of the quantum yield for photochemical mineralization of dissolved organic carbon in a humic lake
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured photochemical mineralization of dissolved organic carbon in a humic lake in situ and determined the apparent quantum yield (fl) based on the measurements in situ at 320, 355 and 390 nm.
