Article Abstract
Seasonality of biomarker baseline levels were studied in polar cod (Boreogadus saida), caught in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, in April, July, September and December, 2006-2007. Physiological parameters (condition factor, gonado- and hepato-somatic indexes, energy reserves, potential metabolic activity and antifreeze activity) in polar cod were used to interpret the seasonality of potential biomarkers. The highest levels of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity occurred concomitantly with the highest potential metabolic activity in July due to e.g. intense feeding. During pre-spawning, EROD showed significant inhibition and gender differences. Hence, its potential use in environmental monitoring should imply gender differentiation at least during this period. Glutathione S-transferase and catalase activities were stable from April to September, but changed in December suggesting a link to low biological activity. Knowledge of the biomarker baseline levels and their seasonal trends in polar cod is essential for a trustworthy interpretation of forthcoming toxicity data and environmental monitoring in the Arctic.

Granzyme B (GrB), a crucial serine protease stored in immune cells, plays a pivotal role in combating tumors primarily through GrB-induced apoptosis. However, the elevated expression of SerpinB9 (Sb9), which is a physiological inhibitor of GrB, within tumors acts as an impediment to GrB-induced apoptosis. Protocatechuic acid (PCA), a phenolic acid, has demonstrated promising antitumor potential through ability to inhibit the biological function of Sb9 and enhance the GrB-induced apoptosis.

It is still greatly desirable to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) forming nonradicals for the removal of electron-rich contaminants in complex water matrices. However, achieving this on heterogeneous metal-based catalysts with uniform electron distribution remains challenging due to the asymmetric structure of PMS molecules (H-O-O-SO). Here, inspired by the dipole effect, we design a Co-doped ZnO catalyst (ZOC) to break charge symmetry at active sites and enhance nonradicals generation.

To experimentally determine beam quality correction factors () for six cylindrical and four parallel-plate ionization chambers (ICs) in both spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) and single-layer proton beam configurations.Water calorimetry was implemented to establish absorbed dose to water () at 10 g cmdepth for SOBP and single-layer proton beams. IC measurements were performed under identical geometrical conditions as calorimetric measurements, with the exception of water temperature control in the phantom.

Several studies have evaluated the performance of constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) operated in a batch mode. However, so far, few studies have concerned the performance and behavior of the continually operated CW-MFC systems. This study explores the performance of a continually operated CW-MFC for 180 days to treat real leather tannery wastewater (LTWW) simultaneously with bioelectricity generation.

High-latitude ecosystems are simultaneously warming and acidifying under ongoing climate change. Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) are a key species in the Arctic Ocean and have demonstrated sensitivity to ocean warming and acidification as adults and embryos, but their larval sensitivity to the combined stressors is unknown. In a laboratory multi-stressor experiment, larval Arctic cod were exposed to a combination of three temperatures (1.
