The deconvolution software was nevertheless able to correctly detect both substances, even in case of near-identical VUV spectra at almost full coelution. As a next step, spectra were subsequently removed from the reference library to simulate the scenario in which a novel substance was encountered for the first time in forensic case work. However, also in this situation the deconvolution software still detected the coelution. This work shows that a VUV library match score below 0.998 may serve as a warning that a novel substance may be present in a street sample.Climbazole is a preservative and an anti-dandruff ingredient with applications in various cosmetic products. The general population is therefore exposed to this chemical, and exposure monitoring is desirable. We have postulated a pathway for the human metabolism of climbazole, leading to two specific metabolites which can be excreted via urine. An analytical method for the determination of these metabolites in human urine was developed and validated. The sample preparation includes an enzymatic hydrolysis protocol. The measurement as such is based on online solid phase extraction (SPE), coupled to ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Intra- and inter-series coefficients of variation (CV) were determined in the concentration range from 1 µg/l to 100 µg/l with spiked pooled urine samples, and they were consistently below 15%, mostly below 10%. The corresponding accuracies (mean relative recovery rates) in spiked pooled urine varied from 97% to 103%. The robustnessn significant amounts. With our method, both climbazole metabolites can be reliably quantified in the range between about 1.5 µg/l (depending on matrix interferences in individual samples) and at least 500 µg/l.Ectoparasitism result in annual losses to livestock producers estimated to reach billions of dollars in tropical and subtropical parts of the world where the southern cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is established because this invasive pest is also a vector of pathogens causing bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Reintroduction of R. microplus could be economically devastating for the cattle industry in the United States. Novel technologies are necessary to manage populations of R. microplus that are resistant to multiple classes of synthetic chemicals widely used as acaricides to control ticks infesting livestock, and to mitigate the environmental impact of these synthetic acaricides. Bioassays with a water-based formulation of a commercially available botanical acaricide (Essentria® IC3) at 6.25 % against a laboratory strain of R. microplus was 100 % lethal against unfed larvae, and 94 % mortality was recorded against engorged female ticks. These results prompted documentation of efficacy annot be recommended as a stand-alone method to eradicate R. microplus, the 6.25 % botanical acaricide water-based spray could be part of integrated tick management to control populations of R. JSH-150 microplus resistant to organophosphates like coumaphos and other classes of commercially available synthetic acaricides.Childhood experiences with nature are decisive for children's wellbeing. The need for outdoor activities has been duly recognized in the preschool curriculum in Slovenia. However, there are some obstacles to this approach-specifically, tick-borne diseases. This study examines the views and experiences of Slovenian preschool teachers (n = 158) with ticks and tick-borne diseases in order to create a safer environment for the further development of outdoor education. The majority of the respondents engage in outdoor teaching once or several times a week. They have very frequent contact with ticks and tick-borne diseases in their professional lives. More than four-fifths of the respondents carry out some tick-prevention measures in preschools, but room for improvement remains. The respondents report rare cases in which parents or guardians have tried to prohibit them from visiting outdoor areas because of tick-borne diseases, and they explain how they dealt with the situation. The attitude of preschool teachers toward ticks and tick-borne diseases did not correlate significantly with the frequency with which they went outdoors in preschools. This study therefore concludes that, despite the objective risks associated with tick-borne diseases, there is still broad consensus among educators and parents on the importance of outdoor education in the early years.Trichomes are epidermal structures with a large variety of ecological functions and economic applications. Glandular trichomes produce a rich repertoire of secondary metabolites, whereas non-glandular trichomes create a physical barrier on the epidermis both operate in tandem against biotic and abiotic stressors. A deeper understanding of trichome development and function would enable the breeding of more resilient crops. However, little is known about the impact of altered trichome density on leaf photosynthesis, gas exchange and energy balance. Previous work has compared multiple, closely related species differing in trichome density. Here, we analysed monogenic trichome mutants in the same tomato genetic background (Solanum lycopersicum cv. 'Micro-Tom'). We determined growth parameters, leaf spectral properties, gas exchange and leaf temperature in the hairs absent (h), Lanata (Ln) and Woolly (Wo) trichome mutants. Shoot dry weight, leaf area, leaf spectral properties and cuticular conductance were not affected by the mutations. However, the Ln mutant showed increased net carbon assimilation rate (An), associated with higher stomatal conductance (gs), with no differences in stomatal density or stomatal index between genotypes. Leaf temperature was furthermore reduced in Ln in the hottest, early hours of the afternoon. We show that a single monogenic mutation that modifies trichome density, a desirable trait for crop breeding, concomitantly improves leaf gas exchange and reduces leaf temperature.Achondroplasia (ACH; MIM #100800) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by gain-of-function mutations in FGFR3 gene and results in short-limb dwarfism. Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell line GZHMCi004-A derived from umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCBMCs) of a fetus with heterozygous G380R mutation in FGFR3 gene. This iPSC line is a valuable in vitro model to study the pathological mechanism and the treatment of ACH.
