Accidents in the Chemical Industry: A Scoping Review Focused on Causal Factors
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Although occupational safety in the chemical industry is an area of ongoing research worldwide, chemical incidents continue to occur, indicating the need to review the causes, assist in safety management, and identify problems in the quality of reporting. Methods A systematic search of studies published in English between January 1,

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.

Cuticular Hydrocarbons of Buffalo Fly, Haematobia exigua, and Chemotaxonomic Differentiation from Horn Fly, H.irritans [PDF]
, 2005 We determined the quantity and chemical composition of cuticular hydrocarbons of different strains, sex and age of buffalo flies, Haematobia exigua. The quantity of cuticular hydrocarbons increased from less than 1 µg/fly for newly-emerged flies to over ...

Design Considerations for Polymer–Deep Eutectic Solvent Hybrid Systems for Transdermal Drug Delivery
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) act as tunable, green excipients that modulate polymer structure–property relationships to enhance drug solubility, skin permeation, stability, and controlled release. Through hydrogen‐bond interactions, DES–polymer hybrid systems enable improved transdermal performance, offering a rational, design‐driven platform for ...

Reproductive Status of the social wasp Polistes versicolor (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)
Sociobiology, 2014 A fundamental feature in the evolution of social insects is the separation of castes, and the presence of wide differentiation between castes indicates a more advanced degree of sociability.

Nestmate Recognition in Social Insects: What Does It Mean to Be Chemically Insignificant?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Social insects use the blend of hydrocarbons present on their cuticle to efficiently distinguish nestmates from aliens. Intruders must therefore find a strategy to break the recognition code in order to exploit the colony resources. Twenty years ago, the
