Article Abstract
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA), a major component of submicrometer particles, is critical to the climate and human health. SOA can form through nucleation of low-volatility organic compounds, following atmospheric oxidation, or by condensing these vapors onto existing particles. In either of these cases, the formation of SOA particles could be affected by atmospheric conditions (e.g., relative humidity (RH)) and particle liquid water content. This study examines the effects of RH on the formation and composition of SOA from dark α-pinene (CH) ozonolysis, as a canonical system, with or without ammonium sulfate (AS, (NH)SO) seed particles across varying RH levels. Using online extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, we identified monomers (C) and dimers (C) in the SOA with high chemical and temporal resolution. In both cases, high RH (>90%) promotes dimer formation in the particle phase, while they appear at the beginning of the experiment when (NH)SO seeds are present. The prompt increase in dimers in high RH seed containing experiments (60-65% dimers), which are absent at low RH (10%), suggests that intraparticle reactions are responsible for the dimer formation.

Introduction Rotavirus is the principal pathogen responsible for acute gastroenteritis and severe diarrhea in children worldwide and remains a significant public health threat. However, studies on the association between rotavirus gastroenteritis epidemics and meteorological factors in Japan are still scarce. In this study, we aimed to quantify the short-term effects of meteorological factors on the incidence of rotavirus gastroenteritis in Japan using advanced time-series modeling approaches.

Background And Aim: Rising global temperatures and increasing humidity levels are intensifying the risk of heat stress (HS) in high-yielding dairy cattle. The temperature-humidity index (THI) is a standard metric for evaluating thermal stress in livestock. This study aimed to assess seasonal and diurnal variations in temperature, relative humidity, and THI within a milking parlor and determine their compliance with established thermal comfort thresholds for dairy cows.

Sweating is a vital thermoregulatory mechanism in humans for maintaining thermal balance during exercise and exposure to hot environments. The development of models that predict sweat rate based on body temperature has been ongoing for over half a century. Here, we compared predicted water loss rates (WLR) from these models to actual observations collected during 780 participant-exposures in three independent laboratory-based experiments.

The Citrus Under Protective Screen is a novel production system implemented to grow citrus free of huanglongbing disease vectored by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. Other significant pests such as mites, scales, thrips, mealybugs, and leafminers, as well as parasitoids and small predators, have been identified from Citrus Under Protective Screen and require management.

The study of population dynamics in a vertical forest gradient provides basic information on the aspects of insect vector natural history that influence the rate of pathogen transmission. In Mexico, these studies are remarkably limited for sand flies recognised as Leishmania vectors. This study analyses the temporal dynamics of sand fly species (Diptera: Psychodidae) along vertical strata of a tropical dry forest in Yucatán, Mexico, an area previously identified as a transmission hotspot for Leishmania mexicana.
