Mixing ratios of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere of Karachi, Pakistan [PDF]
Mixing ratios of carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), non-methane hydrocarbons, halocarbons and alkyl nitrates (a total of 72 species) were determined for 78 whole air samples collected during the winter of 1998-1999 in Karachi, Pakistan.

Evaluating TEMPO Formaldehyde Retrievals With Co‐Located Ground‐Based FTIR and Pandora Observations
Abstract Formaldehyde (HCHO) is an important proxy for volatile organic compounds and photochemical activity, with significant implications for air quality and atmospheric chemistry. The recently launched geostationary satellite instrument Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) provides the first‐ever hourly observations of HCHO and ...

Selective Transfer Hydrogenation of Polyenes to Monoenes Catalysed by Shvo's Catalyst
We report the reduction of polyenes to monoenes with near‐perfect selectivities at full conversion with isopropanol as hydrogen source. The reaction is catalysed by Shvo's catalyst and the selectivity towards conjugation, semihydrogenation or full hydrogenation can be adjusted via the reaction temperature.

Micro–Mesoporous Ferrierite: Strategies for Tuning the Accessibility of a Peculiar Zeolite
The anisotropic structure of ferrierite (FER) zeolite makes challenging the increase of catalyst effectiveness by hierarchical porosity. The pore mouth location of the active sites for butene isomerization requires a fine balance between development of external surface and retention of shape selectivity.

Effect of NOx level on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of terpenes [PDF]
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of one monoterpene (α-pinene) and two sesquiterpenes (longifolene and aromadendrene) is investigated in the Caltech environmental chambers.

Latex Serum‐Derived Supramolecular Networks Enable Toughening of Natural Rubber
Latex‐serum addition enhances strain‐induced crystallization (SIC) toughening in natural rubber, increasing tearing strength and extending the SIC activation window. Supramolecular networks form via bifurcated hydrogen bonding between polyol components (e.g., quebrachitol) and end‐functionalized polyisoprene chains, serving as effective crystallization

Why do models overestimate surface ozone in the Southeast United States [PDF]
Ozone pollution in the Southeast US involves complex chemistry driven by emissions of anthropogenic nitrogen oxide radicals (NOx ≡ NO + NO2) and biogenic isoprene. Model estimates of surface ozone concentrations tend to be biased high in the region and

Climate‐Driven Convergence of Chemical Ecotypes in Mediterranean Lamiaceae
ABSTRACT Aim To link the identity of the major monoterpenes in plants to their distribution across climatic gradients, and test whether patterns of chemical ecotypic differentiation are consistent across multiple Mediterranean Lamiaceae species. Location The Mediterranean region, with a focus on the Western Mediterranean region.

The use of disjunct eddy sampling methods for the determination of ecosystem level fluxes of trace gases [PDF]
The concept of disjunct eddy sampling (DES) for use in measuring ecosystem-level micrometeorological fluxes is re-examined. The governing equations are discussed as well as other practical considerations and guidelines concerning this sampling method

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...
