title: Chemistry of stream water from the Luquillo Mountains

description: Stream water is collected weekly at the Luquillo Mountain sites listed below. These data sets begin as early as 1983; LTER sampling began in 1988. Stream water samples are grab samples taken from the water/air interface at stream channel center on the sampling day (usually Tuesdays). A continuous record of stream stage (height) is recorded by a datalogger at all ongoing stream sampling sites. Average daily streamflows are available from the USGS and at other locations (Hydrology and Meteorology) on this site. All samples are measured for pH and conductivity, and then filtered (pre-combusted Whatman GF/F glass fiber filter) prior to further analysis. From 1983-1994 samples were cooled and returned to the San Juan chemistry laboratory for analysis. During those years, samples for NH4 and NO3 analyses were refrigerated continuously until analysis. Subsamples for NH4 analysis were also preserved with 1 molar H2SO4. From 1994 on, samples for NH4 and NO3were frozen until analysis, were not acidified, and all analyses were conducted at the University of New Hampshire. Stream water Sampling SitesDescriptions of LTER LUQ stream water weekly sample chemistry data from 1988 onwards. Chemical concentrations are recorded as mg/L or mg/L as appropriate. Values below detection limits are recorded as 1/2 the detection limit. Site Abbreviation Description Comments Quebrada Sonadora QS El Verde stream. Quebrada Toronja QT = QT1 El Verde stream.

title: MassIVE MSV000086836 - Biliary excretion of excess iron in mice
title: Iron is an essential nutrient yet toxic in excess. Our understanding of mammalian mechanisms of dietary iron absorption exceeds our understanding of mechanisms of iron excretion. Here we demonstrate that biliary excretion of excess iron in mice requires the metal transporter SLC39A14 and that excess Fe is excreted into bile as ferritin and heme. The identification of a molecular determinant of iron excretion and the biochemical form of bile iron could lead to development of novel therapeutics for human diseases of iron excess

title: Lead Chalcogenide Nanoparticles and Their Size-Controlled Self Assemblies for Thermoelectric & Photovoltaic Applications

description: &lt;p&gt;We report a facile, room temperature synthesis of PbS, PbSe, PbSxSe1-x, and PbTe nanoparticles and their microscale assemblies by combining a chalcogen solution and a lead halide solution in select thiol-amine mixtures. Selection of appropriate thiol-amine pair and/or the use of appropriate amine to thiol ratio has demonstrated a size control on nanoparticle self-assemblies ranging from nano to microscale. Proper washing of these particles has yielded phase pure and compositionally uniform material with the absence of any carbonaceous ligands on the particle surface, making it attractive for electronic device fabrication. The resulting PbS material exhibits bandgap in the range of 0.6eV to as high as 1.2eV for various assembly sizes. These optical bandgaps confirm the retention of quantum confinement of PbS material even in self-assembled nano/micro structures, which could be an interesting phenomenon for future photovoltaic development. Along with carbon-free, quantum-confined self-assemblies, this chemistry also provides a room temperature and instantaneous reaction route to synthesize individually dispersed PbS and PbSe particles with long chain ligand capping similar to traditional synthesis routes. The PbSe material synthesized from this route shows the ability to alloy with PbS at room temperature in the entire composition range and also demonstrates thermoelectric performance comparable to existing undoped PbSe literature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;nb:citations&gt;&lt;/nb:citations&gt;

title: In vitro evaluation of chitosan-coated curcumin-loaded nanocarriers as a potential system for effective treatment of cancer

description: Nanotechnology has many potential applications in cancer treatment. For example, nano-drug delivery systems (NDDS) with high bioavailability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility have been developed, in order to increase the therapeutic effects of anti-cancer drugs. Among these NDDS, high-performance hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are rapidly advancing in the targeted cancer treatment due to their numerous benefits. Curcumin is a herbal metabolite that acts as a chemical inhibitor through the inhibition of tumor cells and the progression of many cancers. However, the poor bioavailability of curcumin is the most important challenge in using this substance. In this study, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles coated by chitosan were used as a pH-sensitive biopolymer to improve the efficiency and bioavailability of curcumin. For this purpose, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were first synthesized by the sol-gel method. Then, a layer of chitosan was coated on it, and the curcumin drug was encapsulated in the nanocarrier, under controlled conditions. Techniques such as SEM, XRD, and FTIR were used to characterize the nanocarriers. In the second part, nano-drugs prepared by various bioassays were examined. For this purpose, the rate of cytotoxicity by the MTT method and the rate of apoptosis induction by the AO/ET staining method on the brain carcinoma U87MG cell line were investigated.
