Genetic Variation of New Purple‐Fleshed Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Genotypes in Indonesia by Multivariate Analysis

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Purple‐fleshed sweet potato (PFSP) is a major staple food and feed material in tropical countries. The pandemic of COVID‐19 that encouraged healthy lifestyles worldwide further increases the importance of PFSP. Despite its importance, the investment in research to improve PFSP in Indonesia was left behind.

Development of simplified characterization factors for the assessment of expanded polystyrene and tire wear microplastic emissions applied in a food container life cycle assessment

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 1882-1894, December 2022., 2022
Abstract To date, life cycle assessment (LCA) does not include a methodology for assessing the impacts of plastic litter leaked to the environment. This limits the applicability of LCA as a tool to compare the potential impacts of single‐use plastics and their alternatives on ecosystem quality and human health.

A Deep Dive into the Complex Chemical Mixture and Toxicity of Tire Wear Particle Leachate in Fathead Minnow

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 1144-1153, May 2022., 2022
Redundancy analysis (RDA) shows positive correlations between chemicals benzothiazoles and aryl‐amines in tire leachates, and increased hatch severity and lack of pigmentation in fathead minnow embryos. OHBT = hydroxybenzothiazole; PBI = 3‐phenyl‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐imine; NHBT = 2‐aminobenzothiazole; MeSBT = 2‐(methylthio)benzothiazole; MBT = 2 ...

P62‐positive aggregates are homogenously distributed in the myocardium and associated with the type of mutation in genetic cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 3160-3166, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Genetic cardiomyopathy is caused by mutations in various genes. The accumulation of potentially proteotoxic mutant protein aggregates due to insufficient autophagy is a possible mechanism of disease development. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution in the myocardium of such aggregates in relation to specific ...

Concentrations of tire wear microplastics and other traffic-derived non-exhaust particles in the road environment

Environment International, 2022
Tire wear particles (TWP) are assumed to be one of the major sources of microplastic pollution to the environment. However, many of the previously published studies are based on theoretical estimations rather than field measurements.
