Boosting visible-light photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4/Fe3O4 anchored with CoMoO4 nanoparticles: Novel magnetically recoverable photocatalysts
TL;DR: In this article, a visible-light-driven g-C3N4/Fe3O4/CoMoO4 photocatalyst was fabricated by a refluxing-calcination route and the phase, morphology, composition, texture, structure, electronic, textural, thermal, and magnetic properties of the fabricated nanocomposites were studied by XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XPS, FT-IR, UV-vis DRS, PL, BET, TGA, and VSM instruments.

The SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database for environmental decision-making.
TL;DR: This work has compiled the most complete collection of these properties available, using others' compilations but verifying values from the primary literature in many cases, and suggests a "Selected Value" which it believes to be the best available.

Atrazine-induced hermaphroditism at 0.1 ppb in American leopard frogs (Rana pipiens): Laboratory and field evidence
TL;DR: It is shown that atrazine exposure resulted in retarded gonadal development (gonadal dysgenesis) and testicular oogenesis (hermaphroditism) in leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) and the current data raise concern about the effects of atrazines on amphibians in general and the potential role of atazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides in amphibian declines.
