Article Abstract
The particle size distributions of airborne aerosols with Be were measured using cascade impactors at Dazaifu, a city in western Japan, in 2018 to observe their seasonal variation. Beryllium-7 was found to be adsorbed to aerosols with a particle size of less than 2.1 μm; in general, particles sized 0.43-0.65 μm had the highest Be activity concentrations. The activity median aerodynamic diameter (AMAD) of Be fluctuated less over the year within the range of 0.40-0.52 μm, which is the size range of particles that can reach human alveoli, and had an annual mean of 0.43 ± 0.034 μm. The activity concentrations of Be were significantly lower in summer, which affected Be activity concentration for each particle size fraction. The particle size distribution of Be-carrying aerosols was also affected by that of the aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Finally, findings suggest that Be was mainly adsorbed to sulfate aerosols (particularly ammonium sulfate aerosols).

Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs), particularly platinum (Pt), are widely used in heterogeneous catalysis due to their exceptional activity. However, controlling their size and preventing sintering during synthesis remains a major challenge, especially when aiming for high dispersion and stability on supports such as graphene. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has emerged as a promising method to address these issues, yet conventional processes often lead to broad particle size distributions (PSDs).

Nimodipine (NMP), a poorly water-soluble small-molecule agent, demonstrates notable therapeutic limitations in addressing cerebral vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Owing to its inherent physicochemical properties characterized by low oral bioavailability, rapid elimination half-life, and extensive first-pass metabolism, conventional formulations necessitate frequent dosing regimens to sustain therapeutic plasma concentrations. These pharmacological challenges collectively result in suboptimal patient adherence, marked plasma concentration fluctuations, and recurrent vascular irritation.

Objectives: To develop the orphan drug benznidazole (BNZ) in orally disintegrating tablets, for the neglected disease American Trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) therapy. Although children are highly affected by this disease, there are no specific commercial pharmaceutical preparations for this age group in Argentina and in many other countries.
Methods: In the production process, co-milling in a ball mill was applied to enhance dissolution rates, followed by direct compression.

Sodium-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost and resource abundance. However, their cathode materials suffer from poor conductivity and limited cycling stability. Here, we report a Prussian blue (PB)-based cathode hybridized with carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via a glutamic acid-assisted in situ coordination route.

In recent years, amino acids have garnered extensive attention as environmentally friendly, small-dose additives for modulating hydrate formation and aggregation behavior. Amino acids, due to their amphiphilic nature, can adsorb at the gas-liquid interface and on hydrate crystal surfaces, thereby modifying interfacial properties and influencing crystal growth patterns. In our measurements, the amino acids displayed a concentration-dependent "double effect".
