A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has found that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in heat and moisture exchange (HME) filters can potentially predict the presence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. The researchers used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze HME filters from 12 intubated patients who developed VAP. They found that carbon disulfide, which is associated with the proliferation of certain Gram-negative bacteria, was present in samples collected during pneumonia days for 11 out of 12 patients. This suggests that VOC sensors may be a useful adjunctive method for early detection of VAP. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) examined the potential link between maternal residential exposure to solvents from industrial pollution during pregnancy and childhood cancer risk. The study analyzed data from the California Cancer Registry and the California Birth Registry, including 15,744 cancer cases and 283,141 controls. The findings suggested that maternal exposure to certain solvents, such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane and carbon disulfide, may be associated with an increased risk of specific childhood cancers, including rhabdomyosarcoma, medulloblastoma, and ependymoma. However, further research is needed to confirm these associations. This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the NIH National Cancer Institute (NCI).

We compute the fifth-order nonlinear susceptibility in the frame of a classical model based on an anharmonic oscillator, taking into account the local field corrections. A third-harmonic resonance is evidenced, which explains the strong enhancement of some measured values of the corresponding nonlinear index and its sign changes with the wavelength. The ratio between the fifth-order nonlinear index and the fifth-order nonlinear absorption is computed and is in good agreement with experimental data measured in carbon disulfide CS2.

The team led by Prof. Kilpeläinen at the University of Helsinki developed super-base ionic liquid solvents for dissolution of wood biomass e.g. bleached or unbleached pulp or recycled cellulose pulp. The 2022 Marcus Wallenberg Prize of SEK 2 million (€â€ 182,000) has been awarded to Prof. Ilkka Kilpeläinen and Prof. Herbert Sixta for the development and use of novel ionic liquids to process wood biomass into high-performance textile fibers. In this concept, the design and use of novel super-base ionic liquids to process wood pulp into high-performance textile fibers was developed and currently tested for scaling-up.

We report experimental observation of light filamentation in carbon disulfide (CS2). Accurate measurements of the nonlinear index show an unusual saturation law of the Kerr effect, which is used to build a model of light propagation in CS2, which describes the filamentation in good agreement with experimental observations.

In this study, odorous volatile compounds (OVCs) from market-ready, commercial composts supplied by 14 different producers were compared using a recently developed method involving solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of headspace volatiles followed by GC analysis. The products analyzed were derived from a cross-section of the wide array of compost feedstock ingredients used in the U.S. (e.g., biosolids, yard trimmings, animal manure, and industrial by-products). A variety of quality assessment tests were performed using test procedures specified in a national certification program offered through the U.S. Composting Council. Measurements of odorous chemicals (i.e., trimethylamine, carbon disulfide, dimethylsulfide, dimethyldisulfide, propionic acid, and butyric acid) supplemented other quality aspects in the evaluation of stability. Result showed that relatively higher concentrations of reduced sulfur-containing compounds were detected from marketable composts containing sewage sludge than from composts produced with other feedstocks. The greatest amounts of reduced sulfur-containing compounds were detected from a compost containing a mixture of industrial sludge and agricultural byproducts. Pathogen indicator microbes for most composts were within limits for Class A (U.S. EPA 40CFR Part503). Very large numbers of fecal coliforms, E. coli, and Enterococcus were present in the compost that produced the greatest concentrations of carbon disulfide and dimethylsulfide. Composts containing sewage sludge and yard wastes produced relatively higher concentrations of propionic and butyric acids than those containing other ingredients. The composition of OVCs in compost products can be objectively evaluated with the SPME method reported here. Results in combination with other compost quality factors may help compost producers improve product quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We discuss various aspects of a neutrino physics program that can be carried out with the neutrino Beam-Dump eXperiment DRIFT (νBDX - DRIFT) detector using neutrino beams produced in next generation neutrino facilities. νBDX-DRIFT is a directional low-pressure time projection chamber detector suitable for measurements of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) using a variety of gaseous target materials which include carbon disulfide, carbon tetrafluoride and tetraethyllead, among others. The neutrino physics program includes standard model measurements and beyond the standard model physics searches. Focusing on the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility beam line at Fermilab, we first discuss basic features of the detector and estimate backgrounds, including beam-induced neutron backgrounds. We then quantify the CE ν NS signal in the different target materials and study the sensitivity of ν BDX - DRIFT to measurements of the weak mixing angle and neutron density distributions. We consider as well prospects for new physics searches, in particular sensitivities to effective neutrino nonstandard interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of carbon disulfide CS2 in strong 800-nm laser fields is studied experimentally and theoretically. A knee structure is observed in the intensity-dependent double ionization (DI) yield in linearly polarized laser fields, which exhibits a strong dependence on the laser ellipticity. The electron momentum distributions and energy trajectories after DI in both linearly and circularly polarized laser fields are investigated by employing the two-dimensional classical ensemble method. The results clearly show the evidence of NSDI in the strong-field DI of CS2 molecules. It is demonstrated that, similar to that of atoms, NSDI of CS2 molecules is produced via laser-driven electron recollision with the ion core and presents electron-electron correlations in the process. Analysis indicates that both mechanisms in atomic strong-field NSDI, i.e., recollision impact ionization and recollision excitation with subsequent ionization, may also be contributed to NSDI of CS2 in strong laser fields. Further studies are no doubt necessary for a full understanding of the underlying physical mechanism of molecular strong-field NSDI, due to the multicenter character of the molecular structure and the complex molecular excited states that could be involved in the ionization.
