Model analyses of atmospheric mercury: present air quality and effects of transpacific transport on the United States [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Atmospheric mercury is a toxic air and water pollutant that is of significant concern because of its effects on human health and ecosystems. A mechanistic representation of the atmospheric mercury cycle is developed for the state-of-the-art global ...

On the oscillations in Mercury's obliquity [PDF]
Icarus 192 (2007) 308-317, 2007 One major objective of MESSENGER and BepiColombo spatial missions is to accurately measure Mercury's rotation and its obliquity in order to obtain constraints on internal structure of the planet. Which is the obliquity's dynamical behavior deriving from a complete spin-orbit motion of Mercury simultaneously integrated with planetary interactions?

A new mechanism for atmospheric mercury redox chemistry: implications for the global mercury budget
, 2017 . Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg0. Oxidation to water-soluble HgII plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems.

SGlycosylation Gene Signatures as Prognostic Biomarkers in Glioblastoma
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor characterized by significant heterogeneity. This study investigates the role of glycosylationârelated genes in GBM subtyping, prognosis, and response to therapy. Methods We analyzed mRNA expression data and clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression ...

The Elusive Origin of Mercury [PDF]
, 2017 The MESSENGER mission sought to discover what physical processes determined Mercury's high metal to silicate ratio. Instead, the mission has discovered multiple anomalous characteristics about our innermost planet. The lack of FeO and the reduced oxidation state of Mercury's crust and mantle are more extreme than nearly all other known materials in the

Fuse and switch functions combined within a single housing [PDF]
, 1970 Fuswitch provides both switch and fuse functions within a single housing. A mercury capillary is used to alternately vaporize and condense the mercury within a reservoir. The housing is impervious to mercury and the fuse portion of the device operates on
