Suitability of the infrared spectroscopy and the rheological method for distinguishing traditional cheese from industrial Turoš cheese by Kristijan Valkaj, Boris Zimmermann, Samir Kalit, Ante Rako, Goran Baranović

“…The rheological parameters of analysed cheeses were in accordance with the chemical composition of the same samples. Infrared spectroscopy of cheeses show good relation with the chemical composition and it has been proved to be a fast and effective method when compared to textural and standard chemical analysis for monitoring the standard procedure of production of sour, dried cheeses such as Turoš cheese. …”

Downstream Distribution and Postdepositional Mobilization of Cadmium in Alluvial Soils by Valérie Cappuyns

“…Therefore, the low-resolution (cm-scale) sampling of the alluvial soil was not reliable to reconstruct the pollution history of the river catchment, because the elevated chloride-concentrations in the river water increased the downward leaching of Cd through the formation of chloro-complexes. Moreover, the variability in flooding and sedimentation regimes along the river resulted in a heterogeneous composition of the alluvial soils, allowing very large differences in metal(loid) concentrations in places only a few meters apart.…”

Primed to vocalize: Wild-derived male house mice increase vocalization rate and diversity after a previous encounter with a female. by Sarah M Zala, Doris Nicolakis, Maria Adelaide Marconi, Anton Noll, Thomas Ruf, Peter Balazs, Dustin J Penn

“…We measured vocalization rate and spectro-temporal features and we manually classified USVs into 15 types to investigate priming effects on vocal repertoire diversity and composition. After sexual priming, males emitted nearly three times as many USVs, they had a larger repertoire diversity, and their vocalizations had different spectro-temporal features (USV length, slope and variability in USV frequency) compared to unprimed controls. …”

Aircraft emissions of ultrafine particles characterized by real-world near runway measurements by Jeff Maes, Spyros Bezantakos, Luccas K. Kavabata, George Biskos, Irene C. Dedoussi

“…While departure plumes exhibit higher particle number concentrations than arrival plumes, the values do not necessarily scale with aircraft size or engine thrust rating. We find large variability among aircraft types and engine models, highlighting the importance of incorporating real-world observations when assessing the impacts of aviation on the atmospheric composition and human health.…”
