Maternal transfer and sex-differences in brain bioaccumulation for Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) exposed to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent chemicals commonly found in surface protectants, and class B aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), and many other consumer and industrial products. As a result of their widespread application

Perfluoroalkyl substances in the environment and biota from the coasts of the South China Sea: profiles, sources, and potential risks

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an emerging class of contaminants that have been produced since the 1950s. The first report on PFAS to raise global concerns was published in 2001. Since then, many countries have implemented policies to control PFAS.

Construction of the Digital Hadron Calorimeter

, 2012
Particle Flow Algorithms (PFAs) have been proposed as a method of improving the jet energy resolution of future colliding beam detectors. PFAs require calorimeters with high granularity to enable three-dimensional imaging of events.
