description: Lake surfaces are warming worldwide, raising concerns about lake organism responses to thermal habitat changes. Species may cope with temperature increases by shifting their seasonality or their depth to track suitable thermal habitats, but these responses may be constrained by ecological interactions, life histories or limiting resources. Here we use 32 million temperature measurements from 139 lakes to quantify thermal habitat change (percentage of non-overlap) and assess how this change is exacerbated by potential habitat constraints. Long-term temperature change resulted in an average 6.2% non-overlap between thermal habitats in baseline (1978–1995) and recent (1996–2013) time periods, with non-overlap increasing to 19.4% on average when habitats were restricted by season and depth. Tropical lakes exhibited substantially higher thermal non-overlap compared with lakes at other latitudes. Lakes with high thermal habitat change coincided with those having numerous endemic species, suggesting that conservation actions should consider thermal habitat change to preserve lake biodiversity.

description: While severe coronavirus infections, including Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), cause lung injury with high mortality rates, protective treatment strategies are not approved for clinical use. We elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which the cyclophilin inhibitors cyclosporin A (CsA) and alisporivir (ALV) restrict MERS-CoV to validate their suitability as readily available therapy in MERS-CoV infection. Calu-3 cells and primary human alveolar epithelial cells (hAECs) were infected with MERS-CoV and treated with CsA or ALV or inhibitors targeting cyclophilin inhibitor-regulated molecules including calcineurin, nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFATs) or mitogen-activated protein kinases. Novel CsA-induced pathways were identified by RNA sequencing and manipulated by gene knockdown or neutralising antibodies. Viral replication was quantified by quantitative real-time PCR and 50% tissue culture infective dose. Data were validated in a murine MERS-CoV infection model. Both CsA and ALV reduced MERS-CoV titres and viral RNA replication in Calu-3 cells and hAECs, improving epithelial integrity. While neither calcineurin nor NFAT inhibition reduced MERS-CoV propagation, blockade of c-Jun N-terminal kinase diminished infectious viral particle release but not RNA accumulation. Importantly, CsA induced interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), a pronounced type III interferon (IFNλ) response and expression of antiviral genes. Downregulation of IRF1 or IFNλ increased MERS-CoV propagation in the presence of CsA. Importantly, oral application of CsA reduced MERS-CoV replication in vivo, correlating with elevated lung IFNλ levels and improved outcome. We provide evidence that cyclophilin inhibitors efficiently decrease MERS-CoV replication in vitro and in vivo via upregulation of inflammatory antiviral cell responses, in particular IFNλ. CsA might therefore represent a promising candidate for treating MERS-CoV infection.

description: We address the following two questions regarding the maximal left ideals of the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(E)$ of bounded operators acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach pace $E$: (Q1) Does $\mathscr{B}(E)$ always contain a maximal left ideal which is not finitely generated? (Q2) Is every finitely-generated, maximal left ideal of $\mathscr{B}(E)$ necessarily of the form \{T\in\mathscr{B}(E): Tx = 0\} (*) for some non-zero $x\in E$? Since the two-sided ideal $\mathscr{F}(E)$ of finite-rank operators is not contained in any of the maximal left ideals given by (*), a positive answer to the second question would imply a positive answer to the first. Our main results are: (i) Question (Q1) has a positive answer for most (possibly all) infinite-dimensional Banach spaces; (ii) Question (Q2) has a positive answer if and only if no finitely-generated, maximal left ideal of $\mathscr{B}(E)$ contains $\mathscr{F}(E)$; (iii) the answer to Question (Q2) is positive for many, but not all, Banach spaces.

description: Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a bee-pathogenic, single- and positive-stranded RNA virus that has been involved in severe honey bee colony losses worldwide. DWV, when transmitted horizontally or vertically from bee to bee, causes mainly covert infections not associated with any visible symptoms or damage. Overt infections occur after vectorial transmission of DWV to the developing bee pupae through the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor. Symptoms of overt infections are pupal death, bees emerging with deformed wings and shortened abdomens, or cognitive impairment due to brain infection. So far, three variants of DWV, DWV-A, DWV-B, and DWV-C, have been described. While it is widely accepted that V. destructor acts as vector of DWV, the question of whether the mite only functions as a mechanical vector or whether DWV can infect the mite, thus using it as a biological vector, is hotly debated because in the literature data can be found that support both hypotheses. In order to settle this scientific dispute, we analyzed putatively DWV-infected mites with a newly established protocol for fluorescence in situ hybridization of mites and demonstrated DWV-specific signals inside mite cells. We provide compelling and direct evidence that DWV-B infects the intestinal epithelium and the salivary glands of V. destructor. In contrast, no evidence for DWV-A infecting mite cells was found. Our data are key to understanding the pathobiology of DWV, the mite's role as a biological DWV vector, and the quasispecies dynamics of this RNA virus when switching between insect and arachnid host species. IMPORTANCE Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a bee-pathogenic, originally rather benign, single- and positive-stranded RNA virus. Only the vectorial transmission of this virus to honey bees by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor leads to fatal or symptomatic infections of individuals, usually followed by collapse of the entire colony. Studies on whether the mite only acts as a mechanical virus vector or whether DWV can infect the mite and thus use it as a biological vector have led to disparate results. In our study using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we provide compelling and direct evidence that at least the DWV-B variant infects the gut epithelium and the salivary glands of V. destructor. Hence, the host range of DWV includes both bees (Insecta) and mites (Arachnida). Our data contribute to a better understanding of the triangular relationship between honey bees, V. destructor, and DWV and the evolution of virulence in this viral bee pathogen.

description: Fragment screening is a technique that helps to identify promising starting points for ligand design. Given that crystals of the target protein are available and display reproducibly high-resolution X-ray diffraction properties, crystallography is among the most preferred methods for fragment screening because of its sensitivity. Additionally, it is the only method providing detailed 3D information of the binding mode of the fragment, which is vital for subsequent rational compound evolution. The routine use of the method depends on the availability of suitable fragment libraries, dedicated means to handle large numbers of samples, state-of-the-art synchrotron beamlines for fast diffraction measurements and largely automated solutions for the analysis of the results. Here, the complete practical workflow and the included tools on how to conduct crystallographic fragment screening (CFS) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) are presented. Preceding this workflow, crystal soaking conditions as well as data collection strategies are optimized for reproducible crystallographic experiments. Then, typically in a one to two-day procedure, a 96-membered CFS-focused library provided as dried ready-to-use plates is employed to soak 192 crystals, which are then flash-cooled individually. The final diffraction experiments can be performed within one day at the robot-mounting supported beamlines BL14.1 and BL14.2 at the BESSY II electron storage ring operated by the HZB in Berlin-Adlershof (Germany). Processing of the crystallographic data, refinement of the protein structures, and hit identification is fast and largely automated using specialized software pipelines on dedicated servers, requiring little user input. Using the CFS workflow at the HZB enables routine screening experiments. It increases the chances for successful identification of fragment hits as starting points to develop more potent binders, useful for pharmacological or biochemical applications.

description: The retinal mosaics of many insects contain different ommatidial subtypes harboring photoreceptors that are both molecularly and morphologically specialized for comparing between different wavelengths versus detecting the orientation of skylight polarization. The neural circuits underlying these different inputs and the characterization of their specific cellular elements are the subject of intense research. Here we review recent progress on the description of both assembly and function of color and skylight polarization circuitry, by focusing on two cell types located in the distal portion of the medulla neuropil of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster's optic lobes, called Dm8 and Dm9. In the main part of the retina, Dm8 cells fall into two molecularly distinct subtypes whose center becomes specifically connected to either one of randomly distributed ‘pale’ or ‘yellow’ R7 photoreceptor fates during development. Only in the ‘dorsal rim area’ (DRA), both polarization-sensitive R7 and R8 photoreceptors are connected to different Dm8-like cell types, called Dm-DRA1 and Dm-DRA2, respectively. An additional layer of interommatidial integration is introduced by Dm9 cells, which receive input from multiple neighboring R7 and R8 cells, as well as providing feedback synapses back into these photoreceptors. As a result, the response properties of color-sensitive photoreceptor terminals are sculpted towards being both maximally decorrelated, as well as harboring several levels of opponency (both columnar as well as intercolumnar). In the DRA, individual Dm9 cells appear to mix both polarization and color signals, thereby potentially serving as the first level of integration of different celestial stimuli. The molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment of these synaptic connections are beginning to be revealed, by using a combination of live imaging, developmental genetic studies, and cell type-specific transcriptomics.
The initial conditions of star formation: cosmic rays as the fundamental regulators

description: Cosmic rays (CRs) control the thermal, ionization and chemical state of the dense H_2 gas regions that otherwise remain shielded from far-UV and optical stellar radiation propagating through the dusty ISM of galaxies. It is in such CR-dominated regions (CRDRs) rather than Photon-dominated regions (PDRs) of H_2 clouds where the star formation initial conditions are set, making CRs the ultimate star-formation feedback factor in galaxies, able to operate even in their most deeply dust-enshrouded environments. CR-controlled star formation initial conditions naturally set the stage for a near-invariant stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) in galaxies as long as their average CR energy density U_{CR} permeating their molecular ISM remains within a factor of ~10 of its Galactic value. Nevertheless, in the extreme environments of the compact starbursts found in merging galaxies, where U_{CR}\sim(few)x10^{3}U_{CR,Gal}, CRs dramatically alter the initial conditions of star formation. In the resulting extreme CRDRs H_2 cloud fragmentation will produce far fewer low mass (<8 M_{sol}) stars, yielding a top-heavy stellar IMF. This will be a generic feature of CR-controlled star-formation initial conditions, lending a physical base for a bimodal IMF during galaxy formation, with a top-heavy one for compact merger-induced starbursts, and an ordinary IMF preserved for star formation in isolated gas-rich disks. In this scheme the integrated galactic IMFs (IGIMF) are expected to be strong functions of the star formation history of galaxies.

description: Dielectric water properties, which significantly change in confinement, determine electrostatic interactions and thereby influence all molecular forces and chemical reactions. We present comparative simulations of water between graphene sheets, decanol monolayers, and phospholipid and glycolipid bilayers. Generally, dielectric profiles strongly differ in perpendicular and parallel surface directions and for large surface separation decay to the bulk value 1-2 nm away from the surface. Polar surface groups enhance the local interfacial dielectric response and for phospholipid bilayers induce a giant parallel contribution. A mapping on a box model with asymptotically determined effective water layer widths demonstrates that the perpendicular effective dielectric constant for all systems decreases for confinement below a nanometer, while the parallel one stays rather constant. The confinement-dependent perpendicular effective dielectric constant for graphene is in agreement with experimental data only if the effective water layer width is suitably adjusted. The interactions between two charges at small separation depend on the product of parallel and perpendicular effective water dielectric components; for large separation the interactions depend on the confining medium. For metallic confining media the interactions at large separation decay exponentially with a decay length that depends on the ratio of the effective parallel and perpendicular water dielectric components.

description: We introduce a model for a flux-assisted Cooper-pair pump, the sluice, which is used to study geometric charge transport. Our model allows for a nonvanishing loop inductance going beyond the usual treatment with an exact phase bias. We derive the device Hamiltonian and current operators for different elements of the system and calculate the pumped charge carried by the ground state in the adiabatic limit. We show that extending the model beyond the exact phase bias, has a weak but potentially non-negligible effect on the charge transport. This effect is observed to depend on the external flux bias. The adiabatic energy level and eigenstate structures are studied and the unusual features are explained. Finally, we discuss the requirements of adiabaticity.

description: A type of vortex spin texture with skyrmionic core and a series of circle spin stripes was obtained in thin nanodisk of the chiral magnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and uniaxial anisotropy by means of micromagnetic approach and Monte Carlo simulation. The size of skyrmionic core can be modulated continuously by controlling the disk size. Moreover, in some certain values of the disk size, this vortex state may be spontaneous ground state even without the help of the external magnetic field and thermal fluctuation. In addition, the uniaxial anisotropy is able to stabilize this vortex spin texture. We anticipate that the present work will inspire further experimental studies for exploring the spin structure.

description: Permutation patterns and pattern avoidance have been intensively studied in combinatorics and computer science, going back at least to the seminal work of Knuth on stack-sorting (1968). Perhaps the most natural algorithmic question in this area is deciding whether a given permutation of length n contains a given pattern of length k. In this work we give two new algorithms for this well-studied problem, one whose running time is n (k/4+o(k)), and a polynomial-space algorithm whose running time is the better of O(1.618(n)) and O(n(k/2+1)). These results improve the earlier best bounds of n(0)(.)(47k)(+o(k)) and O(1.79(n)) due to Ahal and Rabinovich (2000) resp. Bruner and Lackner (2012) and are the fastest algorithms for the problem when k is an element of Omega(log n). We show that both our new algorithms and the previous exponential-time algorithms in the literature can be viewed through the unifying lens of constraint-satisfaction. Our algorithms can also count, within the same running time, the number of occurrences of a pattern. We show that this result is close to optimal: solving the counting problem in time f(k).n(o(k/logk)) would contradict the exponential-time hypothesis (ETH). For some special classes of patterns we obtain improved running times. We further prove that 3-increasing (4321-avoiding) and 3-decreasing (1234-avoiding) permutations can, in some sense, embed arbitrary permutations of almost linear length, which indicates that a sub-exponential running time is unlikely with the current techniques, even for patterns from these restricted classes.

 Diagnosis. Size about 80–130 × 35–50 µm in vivo (?). Body shape narrowly obovate with left margin anteriorly slightly projecting. Macronucleus ellipsoidal with a single globular micronucleus. Three contractile vacuoles arranged in a row near right margin in posterior body half. About 22 ciliary rows on ventral side of cell. About 16 nematodesmal rods. Marine.

 Remarks. Jankowski (2007) combined C. acuta with Zosterodasys, but did not change the species groupname to masculine gender. Thus, according to the Articles 30.2.4, 31.2 and 34.2 of the ICZN (1999), we mandatorily change acuta to acutus because Zosterodasys is masculine gender. Full redescription and neotypification of Z. acutus is recommended because several important data (i.e., somatic and oral ciliary pattern as well as morphometry) and type material are lacking.

description: Simulation tasks are insightful tools to compare information-theoretic resources. Considering a generalization of usual Bell scenarios where external quantum inputs are provided to the parties, we show that any entangled quantum state exhibits correlations that cannot be simulated using only shared randomness and classical communication, even when the amount and rounds of classical communication involved are unrestricted. We indeed construct explicit Bell-like inequalities that are necessarily satisfied by such classical resources but nevertheless violated by correlations obtainable from entangled quantum states, when measured a single copy at a time.

description: We present a study using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array of 12CO J=1-0 emission in three strongly lensed submillimetre-selected galaxies (SMMJ16359, SMMJ14009 and SMMJ02399) at z=2.5-2.9. These galaxies span L(IR) = 10^11 - 10^13 Lsun, offering an opportunity to compare the interstellar medium of LIRGs and ULIRGs at high redshift. We estimate molecular gas masses in the range (2-40) x 10^9 Msun using a method that assumes canonical underlying brightness temperature ratios for star-forming and non-star-forming gas phases and a maximal star-formation efficiency. A more simplistic method using X(CO) = 0.8 yields gas masses twice as high. The observed CO(3-2)/CO(1-0) brightness temperature ratio for SMMJ14009, r(3-2)/(1-0) = (0.95 \pm 0.12), is indicative of warm star-forming gas, possibly influenced by the central AGN. We search for 12CO(1-0) emission in the Lyman-break galaxy, A2218 #384, located at z=2.517 in the same field as SMMJ16359, and assign a 3-sigma gas mass limit of <6 x 10^8 Msun. We use rest-frame 115-GHz free-free flux densities in SMMJ14009 and SMMJ02399 - measurements tied directly to the photionisation rate of massive stars and made possible by the VLA's bandwidth - to estimate star-formation rates of 400-600 Msun/yr and to estimate the fraction of L(IR) due to the AGN.

Drawing on Grabe and Bucy’s visual framing approach, I conducted a quantitative content analysis of visual social media posts (N = 2,272) of the top two candidates who ran for the chief executive governmental office in the respective election campaigns. The results reveal that candidates are more likely to use the ideal candidate frame than that of the populist campaigner. The use of visual frames differs significantly among countries, but those differences are limited. It seems that differences among candidates within countries are more pronounced than among countries. The results also indicate that Instagram is the preferred platform for visual self-presentation. This study provides insights into the strategic use of visuals in social media campaigning.

description: Zosterodasys henarensis Fernandez-Leborans & Alekperov, 1996 (imprint 1995)
(Figs 9 E–G)
 Zosterodasys derouxi Sola et al., 1990: 19, figs 10–19 (junior primary homonym of Z. derouxi Aliev, 1990). Zosterodasys henarensis Fernandez-Leborans & Alekperov, 1996: 10, fig. 11 (a new replacement name for Z. derouxi Sola et al., 1990); Jankowski 2007: 729.
 Diagnosis. Size about 165–265 × 40–70 µm after osmium tetroxide fixation. Body shape very narrowly elliptical with constriction in anterior body quarter in vivo, providing cell with a Nassulopsis -like appearance. Macronucleus narrowly ellipsoidal with a single globular micronucleus. On average 75 (70–80) ciliary rows. Synhymenium completely encircles cell. About 17–20 nematodesmal rods. Freshwater.
 Type locality. Henares River, Guadalajara, Spain.
 Type material. Deposition of type material not mentioned either by Sola et al. (1990) or Fernandez-Leborans & Alekperov (1996).
 Etymology. Not given in the original paper. The Latin adjective henarens · is, - is, - e [m, f, n] obviously refers to type locality, the Henares River, in which the species was discovered.
 Remarks. Fernandez-Leborans & Alekperov (1996) replaced Z. derouxi Sola et al., 1990 by a new substitute name, Z. henarensis, because Z. derouxi Sola et al., 1990 is a junior primary homonym of Z. derouxi Aliev, 1990 and has no synonyms [Articles 60.1 and 60.3 of the ICZN (1999)]. Zosterodasys henarensis can be neotypified because no type material is available and several details of live morphology (body size, contractile vacuole pattern, cortical granulation) have been not described. The generic home of this species is doubtful because of the Nassulopsis -like body shape.

description: We propose formulae for computing the phase space integrals of $1\to 3$ and $1\to 4$ processes with massive particles in final states. As an application of these formulae we study the final state mass effects in some interesting phenomenological cases, giving fully integrated analytic results for the corresponding phase spaces. We consider also the $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ process at NNLO and calculate one of the most complicated master integrals, which contributes to the $ΔΓ_{B_s}$ at $O(α_s^2)$.

description: Questions Is it possible to map floristic gradients in heterogeneous boreal vegetation by using remote-sensing data? Does a continuous vegetation map enable the creation of a spatially continuous map of seasonal permafrost soil thaw depth? Location Bonanza Creek LTER, Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. Methods Vegetation records are subjected to an ordination to extract the predominant floristic gradient. The ordination scores are then extrapolated using Sentinel 2 imagery and a digital elevation model (DEM). As the relation between vegetation pattern and seasonal thaw depth was confirmed in this study, the spatial distribution of ordination scores is then used to predict seasonal thaw depth over the same area. Results The first dimension of the ordination space separates species corresponding to moist and cold soil conditions from species associated with well-drained soils. This floristic gradient was successfully mapped within the sampled plant communities. The extrapolated thaw depths follow the typical distribution along a topographical and geomorphological gradient for this region. Besides vegetation information also DEM derivatives show high contributions to the thaw depth modeling. Conclusion We demonstrate that floristic gradient mapping in boreal vegetation is possible. The accuracy of the thaw depth prediction model is comparable to that in previous analyses but uses a more parsimonious set of predictors, underlining the efficacy of this approach.

description: We study charge transport through a topological superconductor with a pair of Majorana end states, coupled to leads via quantum dots with resonant levels. The non-locality of the Majorana bound states opens the possibility of crossed Andreev reflection with nonlocal shot noise, due to the injection of an electron into one end of the superconductor followed by the emission of a hole at the other end. In the space of energies of the two resonant quantum dot levels, we find a four peaked clover-like pattern for the strength of noise due to crossed Andreev reflection, distinct from the single ellipsoidal peak found in the absence of Majorana bound states.

description: We consider the temporally-correlated Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) broadcast channels (BC) and interference channels (IC) where the transmitter(s) has/have (i) delayed channel state information (CSI) obtained from a latency-prone feedback channel as well as (ii) imperfect current CSIT, obtained, e.g., from prediction on the basis of these past channel samples based on the temporal correlation. The degrees of freedom (DoF) regions for the two-user broadcast and interference MIMO networks with general antenna configuration under such conditions are fully characterized, as a function of the prediction quality indicator. Specifically, a simple unified framework is proposed, allowing to attain optimal DoF region for the general antenna configurations and current CSIT qualities. Such a framework builds upon block-Markov encoding with interference quantization, optimally combining the use of both outdated and instantaneous CSIT. A striking feature of our work is that, by varying the power allocation, every point in the DoF region can be achieved with one single scheme. As a result, instead of checking the achievability of every corner point of the outer bound region, as typically done in the literature, we propose a new systematic way to prove the achievability.

description: In recent time, raspberry production, both in the open field and in protected areas, has been expanding. The rapid growth in demand for this fruit species either as fresh or frozen, encourage the producers to intensify its production, initiating certain, not so small investments. This research is focused on raspberry production organised at farm that has available a production capacity embodied in 13 identical greenhouses settled at the one-hectare plot located at the territory of the municipality of Požega, Republic of Serbia. The greenhouses are 15x50 m in size, while they are connected in a block system. The research was carried out during the 2020. The analysis has covered primary data obtained at the selected farm that are linked to third year of raspberry plantation use, i.e. the second year of full yielding. The main goal of the paper is to assess the energetic efficiency of raspberry production organised in protected area (type tunnel). Derived results have been indicated that this type of production in a protected area generates low energy value, as well as it shows adequate energy efficiency, while ensuring the high yielding.

 Zosterodasys serrani Fernandez-Leborans, 1990: 90, figs 1–12; Fernandez-Leborans & Alekperov 1996: 15, fig. 17 (taxonomic revision); Jankowski 2007: 729.
 Diagnosis. Size about 133–138 × 66–69 µm in fixed specimens. Body shape ellipsoidal. Macronucleus roundish with a single globular micronucleus. About 50 ciliary rows: 29–36 ventral and 15–19 dorsal. Synhymenium restricted to ventral body side. On average 22 (20–24) nematodesmal rods. Freshwater.
 Type locality. La Jarosa Reservoir, 60 km NW of Madrid, Spain.
 Type material. Deposition of type material not mentioned in the original publication.
 Etymology. Not given in the original description. Very likely named in honour of the Spanish protozoologist, Susana Serrano.
 Remarks. Fernandez-Leborans (1990) investigated mainly fixed and stained material, thus redescription based on detailed live observation is recommended. Zosterodasys serrani is outstanding among congeners in having a synhymenium restricted only to the ventral body side (vs. extending also onto the dorsal side), thus the dorsal ciliary rows are uninterrupted. Therefore, Z. serrani very likely belongs to a different genus.

description: Plastic costume masks regularly exhibit unpleasant odors that may be associated with the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Upon inhalation, VOCs might adversely affect the wearer’s health if the exposure exceeds regulatory threshold values. The VOCs emitted from a selection of costume masks (n = 12) were characterized semiquantitatively with a screening method based on GC/MS measurements in dynamic headspace sampling mode. Furthermore, odors associated with the masks were evaluated by a sensory panel. Two masks emitted particularly high concentrations of ethylbenzene, xylenes, and cyclohexanone and exhibited the most intense and unpleasant odors, which were described as rubber-like, pungent, and leather-like. To simulate and assess the inhalation exposures for wearers of these masks, an innovative experimental setup based on a doll’s head was developed, with sampling of emitted volatiles on adsorption material and subsequent analysis by thermal desorption–GC/MS. The measured inhalable concentrations of cyclohexanone exceeded the derived no-effect level (DNEL) for systemic effects on the general population over several hours of wearing, and also after repeated use. Importantly, the cyclohexanone DNEL was reevaluated in relation to a recent study on inhalation toxicity in rodents and was found to be significantly lower (1.4 mg·m–3) compared to the industry-derived values (10–20 mg·m–3), thus aggravating the health risks associated with inhalation exposure from some of the costume masks tested. Finally, a comparison of the inhalable concentrations derived from the simulated exposure assessments with those derived from measurements in miniaturized emission test chambers indicate that microchambers represent a useful tool for high-throughput analysis. The influences of temperature and inhalation/exhalation flow rates on VOC exposures were also studied.
