Mussels drive polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) biomagnification in a coastal food web
Scientific Reports, 2021 Despite international regulation, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are routinely detected at levels threatening human and environmental health. While previous research has emphasized trophic transfer as the principle pathway for PCB accumulation, our ...

Qualitative change in structural dynamics of some glass-forming systems
, 2015 Analysis of temperature dependence of structural relaxation time in supercooled liquids revealed a qualitatively distinct feature - a sharp, cusp-like maxumum in the second derivative of its logarithm. It suggests that the super-Arrhenius behavior of the
