Mercury speciation, transformation, and transportation in soils, atmospheric flux, and implications for risk management : a critical review [PDF]
, 2019 Mercury (Hg) is a potentially harmful trace element in the environment and one of the World Health Organization's foremost chemicals of concern. The threat posed by Hg contaminated soils to humans is pervasive, with an estimated 86 Gg of anthropogenic Hg

Echocardiography during submaximal isometric exercise in children with repaired coarctation of the aorta compared with controls [PDF]
, 2019 Objective Patients with repaired coarctation (RCoA) remain at higher risk of cardiac dysfunction, initially often only detected during exercise. In this study, haemodynamics of isometric handgrip (HG) and bicycle ergometry (BE) were compared in patients ...

Impact of mercury atmospheric deposition on soils and streams in a mountainous catchment (Vosges, France) polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity: The important trapping role of the organic matter [PDF]
, 2006 Total atmospheric Hg contamination in a French mountainous catchment upstream from a chlor-alkali industrial site was assessed using Hg concentrations in the deepest soil horizon, in the stream bottom sediments, in river waters and in bryophytes.

Experimental viscosity measurements of biodiesels at high pressure [PDF]
Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2016 The viscosity of biodiesels of soybean and rapeseed biodiesels blended with mineral diesel fuel were measured at pressures of up to 200 MPa. Using a falling sinker-type viscometer reproducible viscosity data were obtained based on the time taken

Submerged spawning and larval dispersal of the mudskipper Periophthalmus variabilis
Aquatic Biology, 2021 Since the discovery of mudskipper aerial embryonic incubation in 1998, it has been unclear whether spawning and fertilization take place inside an air-filled or water-filled egg chamber, and whether the parent animals help the newly hatched larvae leave ...
