Article Abstract
Impact glasses found in lunar soils provide a possible window into the impact history of the inner solar system. However, their use for precise reconstruction of this history is limited by an incomplete understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for their origin and distribution and possible relationships to local and regional geology. Here, we report U-Pb isotopic dates and chemical compositions of impact glasses from the Chang'e-5 soil and quantitative models of impact melt formation and ejection that account for the compositions of these glasses. The predominantly local provenance indicated by their compositions, which constrains transport distances to <~150 kilometers, and the age-frequency distribution are consistent with formation mainly in impact craters 1 to 5 kilometers in diameter. Based on geological mapping and impact cratering theory, we tentatively identify specific craters on the basaltic unit sampled by Chang'e-5 that may have produced these glasses and compare their ages with the impact record of the asteroid belt.

Impact of Monomer Sequence and Interaction Parameter on Polymer Glass Transition Temperature.

Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, United States.
Control of the glass transition temperature () is a major goal in polymer engineering as is a key determinant of mechanical behavior, barrier properties, and material processability. In copolymers of nonpolar monomers, the Fox equation can provide an approximate description of the dependence of on copolymer composition (monomer ratio), based on a harmonic weighted average of values for the individual homopolymers. However, the Fox equation does not consider the influence of intermonomer interactions, nor does it account for self-concentration effects.

Background: Nutritional supplements and environments have been linked with food allergy (FA), but little research has explored their interactions on children's FA.
Objectives: To explore the associations between early-life nutritional supplements, household environmental factors (HEFs), and outdoor air pollutant (OAP) exposures, and their interactions on children's FAs.
Methods: We collected 20,730 surveyed questionnaires from five Chinese cities, covering data on individual characteristics, health outcomes, and HEFs.
Investigating chemical composition at the sea-air interface: A subsampling approach for marine surface microlayer analysis.

The marine surface microlayer (SML) is distinct from the subsurface water by physical, chemical and biological properties. Being the interface, the SML regulates mass and energy transfer between the ocean and the overlying atmosphere. Given the wide surface area covered by oceans, even small change in flux may have a significant global impact.

While under-ice submarine hydrothermal systems provide critical insights into extremophile adaptations, the ecological impacts of explosive volcanism on these ecosystems remain poorly constrained. We successfully detected evidence of hydrothermal activities and explosive volcanism at 85° E, the eastern volcanic zone, ultra-slow spreading Gakkel Ridge. Hydrothermal plume, surface sediments, and volcanic glass samples were systematically collected to investigate the diversity of microbial communities.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the influence of two endodontic sealers on the bond strength of glass fiber posts using conventional and self-adhesive resin cement through a push-out test.
Methods: Forty central human incisors were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10) based on sealer (epoxy resin- based or calcium silicate-based) and cement (conventional and self-adhesive resin) types: AH Plus (Dentsply De- Trey)/RelyX ARC (3M ESPE), AH Plus/RelyX U200 (3M ESPE), Bio-C Sealer (Angelus)/RelyX ARC, and Bio-C Sealer/RelyX U200. After canal filling and post cementation, roots were sectioned to obtain one specimen per root third.
