Co-exposure and interaction effect of a mixture of metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on sperm oxidative damage

The study examined interactions between 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and six metals in relation to sperm oxidative damage. PAH exposure was assessed using personal breathing-zone measurements, while metal exposure was quantified using urinary concentrations. Semen o...

Carbamate-Functionalized N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine Derivatives for Gel Formation and Chemiluminescent Properties of their Metallogels

Abstract Sugar-based low-molecular-weight gelators are an interesting and useful class of compounds due to their many applications. Several carbamate derivatives of d-glucose and d-glucosamine have been previously reported as effective gelators, demonstrating that the fine-tuning...

Marine Stranding as a Reachability Transition: A Control-Theoretic Model of Tidal Coastal Capture

Coastal cetacean strandings are associated with tides, bathymetry, animal state, social behavior, and oceanographic forcing, but these factors do not by themselves specify when an animal loses the ability to escape. This study formulates stranding capture as a reachability transi...
