Dynamics of heavy metals in the fine sediments from a subtropical forest headwater stream during a rainy season by Zemin Zhao (7387283)

“…We found that (1) the mean storage of fine sediment of heavy metals was ordered Mn (21.57 g m⁻²) > Pb (2.53 g m⁻²) > Zn (2.27 g m⁻²) > Cr (0.66 g m⁻²) > Cu (0.12 g m⁻²) > Cd (0.006 g m⁻²); (2) their storage had a transient increase during the rainy season, followed by a decrease, but storage of both Zn and Cr was unevenly distributed from stream source to mouth; and (3) the key factors controlling heavy metal storage were water alkalinity, temperature, and pH, as well as monthly precipitation. …”

Twisted Cyanines: A Non-Planar Fluorogenic Dye with Superior Photostability and its Use in a Protein-Based Fluoromodule by Nathaniel I. Shank (2005285)

“…Here, we report the synthesis of a bridge-substituted version of TO named α-CN-TO, where the central methine hydrogen of TO is replaced by an electron withdrawing cyano group, which was expected to decrease the susceptibility of the dye toward singlet oxygen-mediated degradation. …”
