Methodological, political and legal issues in the assessment of the effects of nanotechnology on human health by Schulte, Paul A, Riediker, Michael, Fatkhutdinova, Liliya, Bergamaschi, Enrico, Canu, Irina Guseva

“…Scientific challenges include the array of physicochemical parameters and ENM production conditions, the lack of universally accepted definitions of ENMs and nanotechnology workers, and the lack of information about modes of action, target organs and likely dose–response functions of ENMs. Standardisation of data collection and harmonisation of research protocols are needed to eliminate misclassification of exposures and health effects. …”

Rapid removal of chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethylene in water by aluminum-iron alloy particles by Xu, Jie, Pu, Yuan, Yang, Xiao Jin, Wan, Pingyu, Wang, Rong, Song, Peng, Fisher, Adrian

“…Alloying Al with Fe enhances reactivity towards chlorinated hydrocarbons' degradation and the enhancement is likely the consequence of galvanic effects between different phases (Al, Fe and intermetallic Al-Fe compounds such as Al13Fe4, Fe3Al and FeAl2) and catalytic role of these intermetallic Al-Fe compounds. …”

A mechanism-based theory of cellular and tissue plasticity by Sun, Fuqiang, Fang, Chao, Shao, Xueying, Gao, Huajian, Lin, Yuan

“…Our theory predicts that endocytic vesicles with a size around 1 to 2 µm will most likely be formed and a higher irreversible shortening of cell junctions could be achieved if a long stimulation is split into multiple short ones, all in quantitative agreement with experiments. …”

Inhaled nanomaterials and the respiratory microbiome : clinical, immunological and toxicological perspectives by Nur A’tikah Binte Mohamed Ali, Mustafa Hussain Kathawala, Poh, Tuang Yeow, Mac Aogáin, Micheál, Setyawati, Magdiel Inggrid, Ng, Kee Woei, Chotirmall, Sanjay Haresh

“…While associations between inhaled ambient ultrafine particles and host immune-inflammatory response are known, the airway and environmental microbiomes likely act as intermediaries and facilitate individual susceptibility to inhaled nanoparticles and toxicants. …”

Pyrroloquinoline quinone aza-crown ether complexes as biomimetics for lanthanide and calcium dependent alcohol dehydrogenases by Vetsova, Violeta A., Fisher, Katherine R., Lumpe, Henning, Schäfer, Alexander, Schneider, Erik K., Weis, Patrik, Daumann, Lena J.

“…We show that when studying biomimetics for MDH, larger metal ions and those with lower charge in this case promote the dehydrogenation reaction more effectively and that this is likely an effect of the ligand design which must be considered when studying biomimetics. …”

Overlooked effect of negative data on efficiency analysis by Lu, Wen-Min, Kweh, Qian Long, Ting, Irene Wei Kiong

“…Traditional techniques of handling negative data values in DEA, such as adding an arbitrary constant or substituting a small positive value, fail to account for the effect of production scale on efficiency and can produce misleading findings. This study thus proposes a novel method for dealing with negative output values in DEA by revising them based on production scale. …”

Cultural construction of success and epistemic motives moderate American-Chinese differences in reward allocation biases by Leung, Angela K.-Y., Kim, Young-Hoon, Tam, Kim-Pong, Chiu, Chi-yue, Zhang, Zhixue

“…In a study comparing the reward allocation biases of Americans and Chinese in different group outcome conditions, the authors showed that the abovementioned cultural difference is found (a) only for culturally congruent success experience (attaining approach goals for Americans and avoidance goals for Chinese) and (b) among individuals who are motivated by the need for cognitive closure to exhibit culturally typical responses. This finding has important implications for understanding the dynamic nature of cultural influences on social behaviors.…”

Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. The finding sheds a light on applications of AsNR in magnetic storage devices.…”
