Abstract

In order to prevent further deterioration of river quality in response to anthropogenic contaminants released into freshwaters through wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), European countries, including Switzerland, financed important river monitoring plans. In addition, measures to improve the sewage treatment technologies were also proposed. Due to a central role in aquatic food web and a marked sensitivity to xenobiotics, the amphipod Gammarus fossarum has been defined as an ideal biomarker species for ecotoxicological risk assessment. However, its genome has not yet been completely annotated and attempts to monitor dysfunctions in invertebrates using biomarkers in fish species have produced inconsistent results. The present project was aimed to investigate the impact of a contaminant mixture released by a Swiss sewage effluent on the amphipod species Gammarus fossarum. In addition, the transcriptomic and metabolomic differences between male and female amphipods were also explored, in order to increase the knowledge on crustacean sexual biology. Firstly, the concentrations of 55 xenobiotics (pesticides and pharmaceuticals) commonly detected in river waters were measured up- and downstream of the WWTP, in both water samples and amphipods. An evaluation of the differences in the population structure between amphipods sampled above and below the effluent was conducted annually between September 2017 and 2018. A high-throughput sequencing of total RNA from G. fossarum was performed employing an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform. The complete transcriptome of G. fossarum was assembled and annotated de novo and the changes in gene expression between G. fossarum sampled up- and downstream of the WWTP were investigated. In addition, the differentially expressed genes between male and female amphipods were also explored. Finally, an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) platform was employed to investigate the metabolomic fingerprints in male and female G. fossarum sampled up- and downstream of the effluent. The differential “omics” analyses showed variations in general stress biomarkers, primary metabolism and mitochondrial metabolism in amphipods sampled at the downstream site. However, the toxic pressure did not cause observable abnormalities in amphipod population structures. The comparative analyses of male and female transcriptome and metabolome between animals sampled above and below the effluent showed that the genders may respond differently to anthropogenic pollutants in aquatic environments. Terms related to heart and circulatory processes, muscle system and cell differentiation were found when conducting a gene ontology (GO) analysis on the differentially expressed genes between males and females, suggesting that the sex distinction traits in hormonal system may act on a wide spectrum of molecular networks. Given the lack of molecular information on amphipod species, the data set collected in this project will be useful in future studies to develop new ecotoxicological biomarkers in amphipods.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si)-based detectors, utilizing electrical characterization, Raman spectroscopy, photoemission, and inverse photoemission techniques. The unique properties of a-Si have sparked interest in its application for radiation detection in both physics and medicine. Although amorphous silicon (a-Si) is inherently a highly defective material, hydrogenation significantly reduces defect density, enabling its use in radiation detector devices. Spectroscopic measurements provide insights into the intricate relationship between the structure and electronic properties of a-Si, enhancing our understanding of how specific configurations, such as the choice of substrate, can markedly influence detector performance. In this study, we compare the performance of a-Si detectors deposited on two different substrates: crystalline silicon (c-Si) and flexible Kapton. Our findings suggest that detectors deposited on Kapton exhibit reduced sensitivity, despite having comparable noise and leakage current levels to those on crystalline silicon. We hypothesize that this discrepancy may be attributed to the substrate material, differences in film morphology, and/or the alignment of energy levels. Further measurements are planned to substantiate these hypotheses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

34. Amorphous Silicon Diodes as Temperature Sensors in Microwave Thermal Ablation Applications: An Initial Assessment

Author

Caputo, Domenico, Lovecchio, Nicola, de Cesare, Giampiero, and Cavagnaro, Marta

Abstract

This article presents an initial evaluation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) p-i-n stacked structures to be used as temperature sensors in microwave thermal ablation (MTA). The diode behavior as a function of temperature has been characterized in air, in water, and in the presence of an electromagnetic (EM) field, irradiated by a commercial MTA antenna. The diodes proved to be able to measure temperatures up to the ones typical of the MTA technique, showing a stability better than 0.7 ° C/h in stressed working operation conditions (forward constant current equal to 500 nA at 125 ° C). Furthermore, in order to overcome the effect of the EM coupling with the diodes, a mathematical interpolation formula was developed allowing to rule out the EM coupling in real time during the MTA procedure. These preliminary results encourage the manufacturing of the diodes on flexible substrates in order to allow locating them directly on the MTA antenna shaft.

Abstract

Radon is a radioactive noble gas omnipresent in the environment, being part of the 238U and 232Th decay chains present in the Earth's crust. The gas can easily leak through the ground but also be present in natural construction materials and migrate into indoor places where it can be a carcinogen when inhaled. Studying the content and removal of indoor radon is crucial for the evaluation and mitigation of its radiological risks to public health. For more than 100 years, the removal by adsorption of the radon has been performed on activated charcoal. There is little progress in the field of radon adsorption at ambient conditions; the main progress is in the use of zeolite materials, having well-defined three-dimensional porous structures and radiation resistance. This study concerns a report on the state of the art of the application of zeolites in radon adsorption. Furthermore, an optimized approach for measuring the radon content in indoor environments and, consequently, its removal has been proposed. Adsorption systems based on zeolites have the potential to replace activated charcoal as a material of choice, allowing to facilitate the development of simple and compact radon adsorption systems.

Abstract

Several evidences, including increased serum titers of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)- specific antibodies and the presence of EBV DNA in brain of patients suggest a possible role of this virus in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurodegenerative disease with an unknown etiopathology. Aim of the present study is to verify if the expression of LMP2A and EBNA-1, two EBV genes, is altered in MS patients. EBV viral load, LMP2A and EBNA-1 gene expression and EBNA-1 antibodies titers were evaluated in blood of EBV-seropositive MS patients (n = 57; 31 relapsing remitting -RRMS- and 26 progressive -PMS-patients) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC, n = 49). Results showed that EBNA-1 and VCA antibodies titers are significantly augmented in MS patients compared to HC (p < 0.05 for both antibodies); detection of EBV DNA was more frequent as well in MS patients compared to HC, although without reaching statistical significance. Regarding viral gene expression, LMP2A was significantly more frequently detected and more expressed in MS patients compared to HC (p < 0.005) whereas no differences were observed for EBNA-1. Considering patients alone, EBNA-1 was significantly more frequent in PMS compared to RRMS (p < 0.05), whereas no differences were observed for LMP2A. Increased expression of the LMP2A latency-associated gene in MS patients supports the hypothesis that EBV plays a role in disease etiopathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
