Investigation of Polymer–Plasticizer Blends as SH-SAW Sensor Coatings for Detection of Benzene in Water with High Sensitivity and Long-Term Stability [PDF]
We report the first-ever direct detection of benzene in water at concentrations below 100 ppb (parts per billion) using acoustic wave (specifically, shear-horizontal surface acoustic wave, SH-SAW) sensors with plasticized polymer coatings.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FISH OIL PRODUCED THROUGH MADIDIHANG FISHMEAL INDUSTRY WASTE TREATMENT (THUNNUS ALBACARES) USING ADSORBENTS [PDF]
Tuna fishmeal industrial waste is largely fish oil. Tuna oil is a source of polyunsaturated acid (PUFA), especially omega-3 fatty acids namely docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22: 6 Ω-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20: 5 Ω-3).

Eicosapentaenoic acid induces DNA demethylation in carcinoma cells through a TET1-dependent mechanism [PDF]
In cancer cells, global genomic hypomethylation is found together with localized hypermethylation of CpG islands within the promoters and regulatory regions of silenced tumor suppressor genes.

Early detection of viable Francisella tularensis in environmental matrices by culture-based PCR
Background Francisella tularensis is a fastidious, Gram-negative coccobacillus and is the causative agent of tularemia. To assess viability yet overcome lengthy incubation periods, a culture-based PCR method was used to detect early growth of the lowest ...

A transgenic Camelina sativa seed oil effectively replaces fish oil as a dietary source of eicosapentaenoic acid in mice [PDF]
Background: Fish currently supplies only 40% of the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) required to allow all individuals globally to meet the minimum intake recommendation of 500 mg/d.
