Sialic acid on avian erythrocytes

Understanding variation in physiological traits across taxa is a central question in evolutionary biology that has wide-ranging implications in biomedicine, disease ecology, and environmental protection. Sialic acid (Sia), and in particular, 5-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), is chemically bound to galactose and the underlying glycan via α2–3 or α2–6 glycosidic linkage (i.e., Siaα2–3Galactose or Siaα2–6Galactose), conferring two different cell surface structures that affects cell to cell communication and interactions with foreign agents including microparasites and toxins. As an initial step towards understanding variation of Sia across the class Aves, we collected red blood cells (RBCs or erythrocytes) and measured Sia quantity in 76 species and 340 individuals using HPLC-MS/MS and glycosidic linkage type in 24 species and 105 individuals using hemagglutination assay. Although Sia quantity did not, α2–6 glycosidic linkage did exhibit a discernable phylogenetic pattern as evaluated by a phylogenetic signal (λ) value of 0.7. Sia quantity appeared to be higher in after hatch year birds than hatch year birds (P < 0.05); moreover, ~80% of the measured Sia across all individuals or species was expressed by ~20% of the individuals or species. Lastly, as expected, we detected a minimal presence of 5-N-glycolylneuraminic acid in the avian RBCs tested. These data provide novel insights and a large baseline dataset for further study on the variability of Sia in the class Aves which might be useful for understanding Sia dependent processes in birds. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: These data are not EPA-owned. It can be accessed through the following means: The data can be accessed by contacting the corresponding author of the manuscript. The corresponding author is Mark Jankowski (jankowski.mark@epa.gov). Alternatively, the data can be accessed by contacting the principle investigator of the funding entity, Jeanne Fair (jmfair@lanl.gov). Format: As described in the manuscript, several hundred birds were sampled to determine the quantity of sialic acid and the glycosidic linkage type present on the blood cell surface of those sampled birds. The information was used to summarize the variation of sialic acid on avian red blood cells from an individual and a phylogenetic perspective. Therefore, the dataset includes all sample identification information including date and location of sample acquisition, bird taxonomic information, and sialic acid results.

Data for Modeling lateral plume deflection in the wake of an elongated building

The plume dispersion model AERMOD provides an efficient method for modeling ground-level pollutant concentrations in wakes of buildings. In recent years, several studies have shown that the downwash algorithms within AERMOD often perform poorly in certain applications. Some studies have proposed modifications to the downwash algorithm in AERMOD to bring the model closer to representing the underlying physical processes associated with building downwash and closer to more accurately modeling observed pollutant concentrations. One such study by Monbureau et al. (2018) made changes to the model that significantly improved its ability to model ground level concentrations for a simple case of a single rectangular building with an elevated, effluent-emitting stack experiencing winds perpendicular to the upwind side of the building. The present study introduces a simple algorithm to enhance AERMOD’s ability to appropriately match the dispersion pattern in the complex flow case of non-orthogonal winds. This algorithm, which is based on a rich set of Large-Eddy Simulations (LES), applies to a variety of building dimensions, stack locations, and stack heights. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates how additional modifications to the downwash algorithm may further improve AERMOD in modeling the spatial location of observed ground-level effluent.

Pesticide persistence in an indoor environment and decontamination studies to clean contaminated surfaces following pesticide misuse cases

Decontamination studies evaluated the effectiveness of liquid-based surface decontaminants against pesticides on indoor surfaces. Building materials, representing nonporous and porous surfaces, were contaminated with common pesticides, including malathion, carbaryl, fipronil, deltamethrin, and permethrin as well as commercial formulations thereof. Pesticide surface concentrations were representative of the pesticide-specific levels measured during field investigations involving misapplications of pesticides in homes or businesses (25–2,400 µg/100 cm2 surface concentration range). Decontamination testing occurred via a single or repeated application of the decontaminant without further mechanical removal or rinse steps. Decontaminants were both off-the-shelf and specialized solutions representing various chemistries (hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds and ammonium salts). The persistence of surface residues was also investigated to assess the potential reduction of pesticide mass on surfaces under simulated indoor environmental conditions. The datasets provide the pesticide  mass recovered from coupons and the calculated decontamination efficacies for all decontamination studies.
