ABSTRACT The Guanche mummies, ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, represent a significant part of the historical heritage preserved at the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA) in Tenerife, Spain. These mummies, subjected to artificial conservation practices, are of great interest to conservators seeking to understand their mummification ...

δ13C and δ15N Values of Residues Provide Insights Into Identification of the Explosive Source
ABSTRACT Rationale Postblast analyses of military and terrorist events will benefit from the capacity to learn more about the explosive materials used in an event. Here stable isotope ratio analyses (δ13C, δ15N) can provide additional information to complement identification of the explosive components.

Migration of Phthalates From Polyethylene Terephthalate Bottles into Beverages: A Health Policy Brief [PDF]
Background: Phthalate compounds are among the harmful compounds that, under certain conditions, can migrate from the inner wall of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles into the beverage in which they are contained. Objectives: This policy brief aims

ABSTRACT Introduction It is well established that exposure to chemical, radiological, and biological hazards in the workplace are infertility risk factors. Although workplace‐specific infertility risks have been documented, the associations between employment history and infertility risk remain largely unexplored.

Color and COD Removal From ECF Effluent by Airlift Reactor With Immobilized Lentinus edodes
Airlift bioreactor treating ECF bleaching effluent with Lentinus edodes immobilized on polystyrene fibers achieved up to 48% color and 41% COD removal. Under optimized aeration (300 mL/min) and HRT (78 h) without glucose, COD removal remained stable for 15 days, supporting a low‐input, enzyme‐driven strategy for pulp‐and‐paper wastewater. ABSTRACT This

Process Modeling for Propylene Polymerization to Transfer Reaction Kinetics From Lab to Plant
The modeling approach combines an industrial model for a fourth‐generation Ziegler–Natta catalyst with lab‐scale derived kinetics of a novel fifth‐generation catalyst. By transferring intrinsic kinetics across scales, polypropylene production can be predicted. Accurate melt flow rate prediction is only obtained with an additional adjustment.

Chemical Characterization of Toxic Elements in Plastic Utensils: Key Insights and Health Impacts
Toxic elements in plastic utensils are assessed using portable X‐ray fluorescence and specific migration tests with water and 3% acetic acid as food simulants. Cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury are detected in the utensils, and migration results show exceedances of specific migration limits, particularly for lead, mercury, and cadmium. These findings
