Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

Exploring the Fragmentation of Sodiated Species Involving Covalent‐Bond Cleavages for Metabolite Characterization

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale Electrospray (ESI), the most popular desorption/ionization technique used in mass spectrometry‐based metabolomics, generates both protonated and deprotonated molecules, as well as adduct ions, sodium being the most frequent monoatomic cation entering their composition.

Investigation of the laser fluence and wavelength dependence in surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry using gold nanoparticles

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
Rationale Surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (SALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) builds on the use of nanostructured surfaces (e.g., coatings of colloidal nanoparticles) to promote analyte desorption and ionization. The SALDI process is believed to occur mainly through thermal processes, resulting from heating of the nanosubstrate upon absorption ...

Illegal Gold Mining in the Brazilian Amazon: Environmental Degradation in Yanomami Indigenous Lands, and Regulatory Failures

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

Exploratory XPS Evidence for Ca–N Environments at the Organic–Mineral Interface in Bone

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bone derives its remarkable mechanical properties from the nanoscale relationship between its organic matrix and mineral components. While interfacial interactions are known to affect bone mechanics, direct evidence of chemical bonding at this interface has been lacking.

Computational Exploration of Nickel Nanoclusters as Nano Sensors for Toxic Gas Detection

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the structural, electronic, and adsorption properties of Ni2–5 nanoclusters and their Fe‐ and Zn‐doped counterparts were systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate their suitability for toxic gas sensing applications.
